From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:
GEM One of the first commercially available {GUI}s. Borrowing heavily from the {Macintosh} {WIMP}-style interface it was available for both the {IBM} compatible market (being packaged with {Amstrad}'s original {PC} series) and more successfully for the {Atari} ST range. The PC version was produced by {Digital Research} (more famous for {DR-DOS}, their {MS-DOS} clone), and was not developed very far. The Atari version, however, continued to be developed until the early 1990s and the later versions supported 24-bit colour modes, full colour {icons} and a nice looking sculpted 3D interface.
