#1 on my list of the 'worst amiga software that ever existed' list is MS- AMIGABASIC!!! this is absolutley pathetic, and it doesnt even run on some computers from the 80's - just about anything other than a 1meg A500 with kickstart 1.3, and it wont work

Note that one can run AmigaBasic on Amiga 500 with 512kb RAM.

Amiga Basic** was nice (~10 years ago) since it was compatible (for the most part) with X86’s Qbasic** (use at school).  **Both are Microsoft Basic.  Qbasic runs on either 286 or 386 DOS boxes.

Definitely Kindwords.  It's been well over five years since I've seen it, but I definitely remember it crashing loads and meeting the Guru.  IIRC it was so terrible that my brother (who owned the A500) stuck on a custom startup sequence with horror-style organ music and stuff.

Kindwords 3.0 (a.k.a. Wordworth 1.0) was acceptable. Kindwords 3.0 practically gave me some indications for upgrading to WordWorth 2.0 and beyond. I was using New Horizon’s ProWrite (If I recall correctly) during the Kindword 2.0 era.
