MASM is maintained by Microsoft, but since version 6.12 it has not been sold as a separate product. It is instead supplied with various Microsoft SDKs and C compilers. Recent versions of MASM are included with Microsoft Visual Studio.
Notable applications compiled using MASM are RollerCoaster Tycoon which was 99% written in assembly and built with MASM.[1]
