Not sure why you're being downvoted, but I owned a copy of AMOS and AMOS 3D after it came out, and I certainly don't recall anybody using it for much that I recall, other than a few homebrew games and such. Certainly not any demos I ran across.
That said, last week I went on a spree looking up AMOS - and interestingly, I found that the author released it as open source a while back, and recently released a new cross-platform language that supposedly is AMOS compatible (IIRC), and open source too. I think he had a patreon or something to sponsor it's development:
https://www.amos2.org/ https://www.amos2.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMOS_(programming_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMOS_(programming_language)
Though the wikipedia article mentions a few commercial games that were made with it...
Anyhow - via finding that, and some other searching, I found that there is still an active AMOS community out there. I'm not sure I need another BASIC-ish retro-language in my repertoire, but I find it fascinating nonetheless!
