I loved Sinclair Basic back in the day despite its limitations - it was my gateway drug into software and systems. When I discovered Boriel Basic a few weeks ago it allowed me relive my childhood, and finally finish making a game for the ZX Spectrum (albeit a remake):

I wrote a golang BASIC interpreter a few years ago, which was inspired by my ZX Spectrum:

And later still I wrote an adventure game in Z80:

The Spectrum was how I got into programming, and despite the limitations I have fond memories.

Sorry, but the link is incorrect. Which is link the correct?

Oops - fixed it now - I'd set it to private while developing, but it works enough to play now.
