Amiga AMOS was my favorite "BASIC." They even sold an optional compiler :)

By the time we got a PC, Visual Basic was a thing. It just wasn't the same anymore :( Motivated me to move on to C.

Oh AMOS- thanks for the reminder. I had totally forgotten about it. It was really incredible for game development. I remember working on a Mario jump and run clone for a while to learn game development. It was a really great environment.
