STOS was developed by Jawx, François Lionet, and Constantin Sotiropoulos and published by Mandarin Software (later becoming Europress Software). STOS was specifically designed for creating games, but the set of powerful high-level graphics and sound commands it offered made it suitable for developing multimedia heavy applications with little or no knowledge of the internals of the Atari ST or low level languages such as assembly. Games could be written in just a few simple lines of code, and great achievements could be made with a little extra polish, allowing for near commercial quality releases.
STOS proved so popular that Atari contacted Mandarin and licensed it to be part of the Discovery Pack that was given away with new Atari ST computers.
The first versions of STOS were released in France, and in late 1988 version 2.3 was released within the UK. Version 2.3 came bundled with many utilities & accessories for editing sprites & music that could be used within the language. Three full games (Orbit, Zoltar and Bullet Train) were also bundled, including their full source code as a source of learning.
