10 most influential Amiga programs
« on: January 15, 2011, 06:00:25 PM »
Since the PC article listed some influential programs, list the 10 most influential Amiga computer programs on the computer industry.

Video Toaster, Lightwave, and DeluxePaint come to mind

Despite its brief lifespan in the computer world, what Amiga programs had the most impact on the computer industry, or perhaps those that still have some legacy today in features that are still used. Look beyond your personal preferences.

Scala is a good example, since my old hometown got its first TV bulletin board with a 1200 and Scala after I sold them my A1000 and TVpaint.

What is VIM Karlos?

Dpaint, Lightwave, Protracker, Bars and Pipes, Image FX, Art Department Pro, Real 3D, Octamed, Scala, Diskmaster (and various other source/destination dual pane file handlers)
 
The daddy of all Amiga influence is the Toaster, but I didn't list it because in my opinion it relies on a lot bespoke hardware which is not the intent of this thread.


True. Video Toaster was mated to the hardware, but that doesn't take away from its strength as a program, having used it in broadcasting school.
