  1. You can just run bwbasic today (or blassic) and clone the Basic Computer Games from https://github.com/GReaperEx/bcg https://github.com/John-Titor/bwbasic
  2. …are recreating those in modern languages as it's a trivial task (I'm doing ports myself to JimTCL). https://github.com/GReaperEx/bcg You can actually use any language, even sh, but for these cases JimTCL it's ridiculously easy to use.
  3. …games into C, TCL or whatever it's really fun (and you can defnitively kill the spaghetti code): https://github.com/GReaperEx/bcg You can just run BW Basic for FreeDOS, but that's no challenge...
