Era
1982-inspired
Type
Interactive interpreter

An independently created educational 8-bit BASIC interpreter inspired by early home computers. It executes BASIC programs in your browser without ROMs, copyrighted software, servers or libraries.

About this exhibit

This is an original, browser-based BASIC interpreter for museum learning. It supports numbered program lines, variables, expressions, loops, subroutines, data statements, local saves and built-in demos.

Historical context

Home computers of the early 1980s often opened directly into BASIC, making programming part of the first encounter with the machine. This exhibit presents that approachable, keyboard-first style as a browser-based learning environment.

Recreation notice

No original Commodore ROMs or proprietary software are used or distributed. This is not an official Commodore product.

The interpreter, command responses and demo programs are independently created for education.

Interactive BASIC Terminal

Keyboard driven: type BASIC lines or commands. Try LOAD "HELLO", LIST, RUN, HELP.
