Game Groups > Scripting language: Blitz Basic

Blitz Basic, published by Acid Software, took over AMOS's crown as the premier game development language for amateurs on the Amiga in the nineties, and a successor Blitz BASIC 2 was published around 1993. It was used not only for a plethora of PD and shareware games, but also for a range of highly esteemed commercial releases, a feat few other game development languages have repeated.

In late 2000, Blitz Basic was released for the PC (sometimes referred to as Blitz2D) which was succeeded by BlitzPlus, BlitzMax and finally Blitz3D on the PC, whilst the original Blitz2 for the Amiga has been further developed into AmiBlitz.
