Getting back to the original topic, I have a version of Richard Russell's BBC Basic for Windows running on my Win10 PC. Being interpreted and possibly 16 bit, it's not the fastest but has many good features (including native matrix multiplication and a VDU command which sets the origin of a graphics window to the bottom left). Worth a look if you want to play with some of the older stuff. Just Google BBC Basic and you'll get loads of links.
