Lords of the Rising Sun was written in Modula2 on the Amiga

My understanding (please correct me) is that Turbo Pascal on PC was actually Modula2 ?

No, Borland did have a Modula-2 compiler (where actually Martin Odersky of Scala fame worked on), but they decided to focus on Turbo Pascal and sold it.

There was a fun break-out clone on the Atari ST, Bolo, that was written in Modula-2.

The recent discussion here about Turbo Pascal commenters said it was written in assembly. Seems to be supported by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Pascal

I'm not suggesting Turbo Pascal was written in Modula2, I'm saying it implemented Modula2, not Pascal. Modula2 is a superset of Pascal. Pascal never had modules AFAIK but Turbo Pascal did.
