SpecBAS is broadly compatible with most forms of BASIC. Demo files are available for you to nose through. Writing games, utilities and fun-code in SpecBAS is remarkably simple. The speed of the interpreter, and vast amount of commands available allow impressive results to be achieved quickly. You could relive a couple of ZX81 type-ins, or just as easily throw together a fractal based animation, a slick arcade game, or useful utilities and tools.
