Retros Shell

Retros Shell is a Windows application that ​provides a way to run programs and navigate ​your computer's file system just like the ​command prompt in the Windows Terminal, or ​like the command line interface (CLI) in Linux ​and macOS.


And it provides a built-in programming language, ​Retros BASIC, which is a modern implementation ​of the Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic ​Instruction Code (BASIC) programming ​language that helped launch the home ​computer industry.

Retros BASIC ​Programming

Retros BASIC code has a very clean appearance, ​which helps make it easy to learn, and it's also very ​powerful with modern object-oriented and functional ​programming features.


Retros Shell lets you write simple BASIC programs ​right at its Console command prompt and, of course, ​write more serious programs with a built-in, very ​modern code editor.


Retros BASIC has features for emulating the ​Retros Embedded OS (coming soon), which is ​a version of Retros that runs on embedded ​systems, like the Pi Pico.

And it has an ever-expanding set of features ​for writing graphics programs and games.
