Modula2 was available and got used on Amiga. Silly teenager me found such high level languages "cheating" at the time.

  Lords of the Rising Sun was written in Modula2 on the Amiga https://www.google.com/search?q=lords+of+the+rising+sun https://www.google.com/search?q=lords+of+the+rising+sun My understanding (please correct me) is that Turbo Pascal on PC was actually Modula2 ?

    The recent discussion here about Turbo Pascal commenters said it was written in assembly. Seems to be supported by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Pascal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Pascal

      I'm not suggesting Turbo Pascal was written in Modula2, I'm saying it implemented Modula2, not Pascal. Modula2 is a superset of Pascal. Pascal never had modules AFAIK but Turbo Pascal did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modula-2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modula-2

    No, Borland did have a Modula-2 compiler (where actually Martin Odersky of Scala fame worked on), but they decided to focus on Turbo Pascal and sold it.

    There was a fun break-out clone on the Atari ST, Bolo, that was written in Modula-2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolo_(Breakout_clone) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolo_(Breakout_clone) http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-bolo_8775.html http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-bolo_8775.html
