Welcome to the VintageBASIC discussion forum!
This discussion will be for those who love the old Vintage BASIC games of the 60's – 70's that started the gaming revolution. We will start with games and other programs from the era, presenting the original code, and converted into modern day BASIC. BASIC that runs on Windows, macOS, Linux (x86 and ARM processors, including the Raspberry PI), and iOS systems.
I am working to develop VintageBASIC's own website, and working on content to start this blog. I have purchased a Commodore 64, ZX-Spectrum and Apple IIgs vintage computers so we can get the code that runs on these machines.
Each post here by me will include a small article with original source, and the updated code to show how to update these old programs to today's BASIC. Tips and pointers to identify code statements that no longer work and what's needed to make them work.
I welcome others to post their favorite vintage programs, and if you also converted them to run on today's BASIC, please post it. I also welcome replies to my posts, and if anyone has other versions of my programs posted, or wish to make updates or corrections, feel free to do so.

I've changed my avatar to the logo I've designed for this and my blog when it comes online. I plan to integrate this forum so it is available on my website.
Welcome, and posts will be coming soon!
