Action! was a programming language and integrated editor, debugger, and 6502 code generating compiler, editor for the Atari 8-bit family of microcomputers. Action! was created by Clinton Parker and released on cartridge by Optimized Systems Software in 1983. Its syntax was similar to that of ALGOL 68.

| - Action! was a programming language and integrated editor, debugger, and 6502 code generating compiler, editor for the Atari 8-bit family of microcomputers. Action! was created by Clinton Parker and released on cartridge by Optimized Systems Software in 1983. Its syntax was similar to that of ALGOL 68.
Action! was significant for its high performance, which allowed games and graphics demos to be written in a high-level language in an era when it was generally understood that performance required hand-written assembly language code. The language was tailored so there was a clean mapping between language constructs and the 6502 hardware.
A library was available as a separate product called the Action! Toolkit. Action! was used to develop at least one commercial product: the Homepak productivity suite. The language was never ported to other systems.
In 2007 it inspired Effectus - a cross-compiler currently running on Windows targeting the Atari 8-bit. Effectus resembles Action! syntax and is intended to be as compatible as possible with it. (en)
- ACTION! (auch: Action!) ist eine Programmiersprache und ein Compiler für ATARI-8-bit-Computer, die 1983 von Clinton W. Parker für Optimized Systems Software zunächst auf Cartridge entwickelt wurde.
Action! ist die schnellste Compilersprache für die ATARI 8-bit Serie (Atari 400/800, XL-Serie, XE-Serie) und erzeugt als 1-Pass Compiler echten 6502-Code. Die Sprache enthält Sprachelemente von C, Algol_68 und Pascal. (de)
- Action! – język programowania dla Atari XL/XE, napisany przez firmę OSS Software, mieszczący się na 16KB cartridge'u. Język ten łączy cechy Pascala i C, jednak jego kompilator generuje bardzo szybki kod wynikowy, porównywalny z asemblerem.
W okresie świetności 8-bitowych komputerów Atari, język ten był dość popularny w Polsce i na świecie.
Powstało w nim wiele programów (np. DiskRx), gier oraz dem.
Polską grą napisaną w tym języku jest np. Problem Jasia. (pl)
