tjb #1 Posted November 17, 2013 Does anyone know of Atari 8-bit commercial apps written in Forth (to include games)? I saw a thread that mentioned that Antic's Rambrandt was written in forth as well as a CAD program (the name escapes me at the moment). Are there others? Also, what implementation(s) were used (i.e. VolksForth)? Unlike many of the C implementations available back in the day, Forth seems to have been a viable development tool for real applications. tjb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kr0tki #2 Posted November 17, 2013 Roland Pantoła's three adventure games ("A.D. 2044", "Klątwa", "Władcy ciemności") were written in FORTH (credits screen of A.D. 2044 says it's written in "GAM FORTH", whatever that means). Also, this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynxpro #4 Posted November 18, 2013 There's a story about a game programmer who wanted to program a 2600 game in Forth and that was rejected by Atari for being too crazy. Can't remember any other details though... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
