== 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.

Line 44 ⟶ 46:

Today the language has declined in popularity along with the Amiga computer for which it was written. Despite this, a small community of enthusiasts are still using it. The [[source code]] to AMOS has since been released under a [[BSD licenses|BSD style license]] by [[Clickteam]] - a company that includes the original programmer.

== Software using AMOS BASIC==

Software written using AMOS BASIC includes:

* [[Miggybyte]]

* [[Scorched Tanks]]

* Games by [[Vulcan Software]], amongst which the [[Valhalla: Before the War|Valhalla]] trilogy

* [[Amiga]] version of [[Ultimate Domain]] (called [[Genesia (game)|Genesia]]) by [[Microïds]]
