At one point Real Basic was available for the Amiga after Microsoft abandoned the platform.  I'm not sure if it was still working when the OS went to 2.0.  The cross platform nature made it the best choice in the late 80s.  Glad to see them still around!

Wow, this is a year old thread!  I was thinking Jens was back...

Nobody mentioned TrueBasic which, I think, was largely sold in North America.  It's claim was portability between systems.

Perhaps it's in the water, but I've just recently started relearning to program basic on the C64.  I was getting into it when the Amiga was released and never went back.   Who knew poke 53280,0 could be so much fun!
