8663 is 0066
8665 is 000A

At some point you'll discover a nasty little trick in the code where they write a 16 bit value to an address and then never use it. Sometimes, they just read the high byte from (address+1) and use that instead of the whole 16 bits.

There's also some 24-bit numbers. Again, these are stored low byte first, high byte last.
