Locomotive BASICBasic was a variant of BASIC that was built into the ROM of [[wp:Amstrad CPC|Amstrad CPC]] 8-bit home computers introduced in 1984. CPCs were a popular, slightly more expensive alternative to the Commodore C64/C128 and sales were particularly strong in the UK, Germany, France, and Spain. Today the language can be used via CPC emulators such as [http://sourceforge.net/projects/javacpc/ JavaCPC].
 
Version 1.0 of Locomotive BASIC shipped with the CPC 464, later models shipped with Locomotive Basic v1.1 which brought some important improvements. Despite the fact that all later version call themselves v1.1, ROM headers show that e.g. the Amstrad Plus version is actually v1.40.<ref>http://www.grimware.org/doku.php/documentations/software/locomotive.basic/start#basic.1.1</ref>
