'''AMOS BASIC''' is a dialect of the [[BASIC]] [[programming language]] for the [[Amiga]] computer. Following on from the successful [[STOS BASIC]] for the [[Atari ST]], AMOS BASIC was written for the Amiga by [[François Lionet]] with [[Constantin Sotiropoulos]] and published by [[Europress Software]] in 1990.

== History ==

AMOS is a descendant of [[STOS BASIC]] for the [[Atari ST]]. AMOS BASIC was first produced in 1990.

AMOS competed on the Amiga platform with Acid Software's [[Blitz BASIC]]. Both BASICs differed from other dialects on different platforms, in that they allowed the easy creation of fairly demanding multimedia software, with full structured code and many high-level functions to load images, animations, sounds and display them in various ways.
