Well, I know that donkey.bas works on Rob Hageman's PC-BASIC, because I tested it just a moment ago.

PC-BASIC itself is written in Python though. I seriously considered getting PC-BASIC to run on MS-DOS/FreeDOS by way of some Python compiler — that was before Microsoft open-sourced (most of) their 1983 version of GW-BASIC.

I have not tried running donkey.bas under either QB64, or FreeBASIC, or BBC BASIC — but maybe I should.

Thank you!
