Dialects

This is a list of different kinds of BASIC — a type of computer language. BASIC comes in many versions, or "dialects," made to work on different computers or for different purposes.

Each dialect is designed to work on certain computers or operating systems. For example, some work on old computers like the Apple II, while others work on modern systems like Windows or Linux. These dialects have been used for everything from simple games to business programs.

BASIC extensions

BASIC extensions (also called BASIC toolkits) add features to a specific BASIC language.

These extensions work on different computers like the Amstrad PCW, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64, Commodore 128, ZX Spectrum +3, and VIC-20. Examples include BASIC 8 for the Commodore 128, Beta BASIC for the ZX Spectrum, BASIC XL Toolkit for the Atari 8-bit, YS MegaBasic for the ZX Spectrum, Simons' BASIC for the Commodore 64, Super Expander for the VIC-20, and Super Expander 64 for the Commodore 64.
