List of BASIC dialects by platform: This is a list of dialects of the BASIC computer programming language, sorted into groups for better conceptual organization.

There is also an alphabetical list of BASIC dialects. These two lists should contain the same information. However, accidental differences may arise, so if you are looking for something, check both lists.

About these groupings: Some BASIC dialects group nicely by the platform (operating system and/or computer architecture) they are targeted for. Some BASICs group nicely by some other category, rather than a particular platforms. Other dialects are notable for being explicitly engineered to be cross-platform. Finally, some BASIC dialects do not fit into any of these groups -- mostly one-to-one dialect/platform pairs.

Platforms

Acorn

BBC BASIC was developed in 1981 as a native programming language for the MOS Technology 6502 based Acorn BBC Micro home/personal computer, mainly by Roger Wilson. It was a version of the BASIC programming language adapted for a U.K. computer literacy project of the BBC. The language was ported onto many other processors and platforms including the RM Nimbus. A version for Windows is now available. It is possibly one of the most accessible and flexible variants of BASIC due to the inclusion of many low-level commands in all dialects of the language.

Amstrad

Locomotive BASIC 1.0 was developed in 1984 for the Zilog Z80 by Locomotive Software. When Amstrad was looking for a BASIC dialect for their forthcoming CPC464 which was intended to be MOS Technology 6502 based, Locomotive Software convinced Amstrad to make the CPC Zilog Z80 based instead, to avoid a major rewrite of the BASIC Interpreter.
Locomotive BASIC 1.1 was the enhanced version for the CPC664, CPC6128, CPC464plus and CPC6128plus computers.
Mallard BASIC was the BASIC interpreter for the Amtrad PCW computers. It was similar to Microsoft MBASIC, but more enhanced.
Locomotive Software also developed the BASIC2 interpreter that run under GEM on the Amstrad PC1512/PC1640 computer

Apple I and][and ///

Apple Business BASIC — the standard Apple III BASIC
Applesoft BASIC — the standard BASIC for the Apple II series except the original-model Apple II. Based on the same Microsoft code that Commodore BASIC was based on. Available on floppy or cassette on the original-model Apple II; built into ROM on the Apple II Plus, Apple II Europlus, and all later Apple II series computers.
Integer BASIC — Steve Wozniak's own creation and the standard BASIC for the Apple I and original-model Apple II. Was originally known simply as "Apple BASIC". For the BASICs available at the time, it was extremely fast and memory-efficient. Only supported 16-bit integer numbers. Came as standard on cassette with the Apple I; built into ROM on the original Apple II; and available on floppy on later Apple II series computers for legacy use.
MD-Basic — Morgan Davis devised this compiled basic for his Pro-line BBS system (a Unix shell work-alike) and released it publicly with a set of utilities. MD-Basic could compile Applesoft for more speed and efficiency or BASIC could be written to it native.
