Another possibility for a natural 80s style progression which I would recommend is Forth. Still a great language and was designed to run easily on hardware from that era. Get a copy of fig-Forth and download a free PDF of "Starting Forth" by Leo Brodie from https://www.forth.com/starting-forth/ and you will begin an incredibly rewarding journey.

After posting my assembly-for-newbs question, it occurred to me that perhaps I should be asking this instead: with no experience other than LOGO and then BASIC, which (period 1980s) language should I learn next? Was it normal to go from BASIC directly to assembly (is BASIC enough preparation), or were people better off getting some in-between experience with a language such as Pascal or something else?
Keep in mind that my natural aptitude is liberal arts, not math. :)
