 		Happy Birthday 50TH of Basic I remember when I did first coding on Atari 65XE in 1986 and if the game wasnt great then I would have more coding to be honest. Then in 1987, I got the C64 and what a machine that was. Again, C64 Games blew me away hence why I didnt code much as I would like. 1991, the best things I ever bought in my own moneys was Amiga! The games of itself is Brillaint then in 1992, I found Amiga Amos. I was so hooked on Amos on how easy the language of itself and I was creating lots of things with it. In 1993, there were BlitzBasic 2 and it took bit of time to getting used the code because it is so different from Amos. Sometime it does crash here and there. Then I went back to Amos as it is my fav languages.

When Amiga stop supporting software in 1996 then I still keep using until 2000 then I went buy PC in PC World for £1,300(that madness lol). I had to get used things on pc until I saw Blitzbasic came out in computer fair which was £8. I decide to snap it up and see if is much better than Amiga Blitzbasic 2. It was and it took me surprize on how easy was. Then in 2003, Blitz 3D Came along which was ahead of time and when you look on youtube of water effect in direct x 7 is impressive for what is it. In 2012, There is Blitz Monkey(of course the name had change to X). The monkeys itself language is pretty good but it different from Blitzbasic but offer more target plaform than any basic I know apart from GLBASIC! I hope there is more to come from Blitzbasic company
