Lots of commercial software was written mainly in BASIC. Plenty of games (a couple popular examples are Temple of Apshai and Questron, but there are certainly hundreds, particularly if you look at educational games of the 80s). And a lot of productivity stuff was written in BASIC, like database management (e.g. APX Data Management System - lots of the APX titles were written in BASIC), accounting (early versions of the very popular Peachtree accounting software), and even tax software (early versions of TaxCut).
