I forgot to mention the SpecBAS project by Paul Dunn (http://specbas.co.uk). It's a BASIC interpreter based on the old ZX Spectrum's BASIC, but much improved, more powerful and multiplatform. It is still alpha but looks quite promising. I think it soon will suit the needs you mention. There are binary packages for Windows, Linux (Intel) and the Pandora's Ångström (http://openpandora.org). It's written in Free Pascal and it's open source, so it can be compiled for other platforms as well. In fact I'm considering SpecBAS as an alternative to SBASIC for a couple of game projects under development. The source code conversion would not be difficult, and the benefits would be remarkable: wider audience; easier programming of sounds and graphics; and the chance to be able to contribute to an open and evolving project.
