The '''[[wikipedia:BBC Micro|BBC Micro]]''', also known as the '''BBC Microcomputer System''' or the '''Beeb''' as it was affectionately called, was a series of microcomputers created by [[wikipedia:Acorn_Computers|Acorn Electronics]] for the BBC's computer literacy project. They were designed to be rugged, stable, and easy to use.
Nine models were produced with the BBC brand, the phrase "BBC Micro" usually referring to the first six ('''Model A''', '''B''', '''B+64''', '''B+128''', '''Master 128''', and '''Master CompactNeMul'''is a [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Famicom (NES), the latter three being referred to under the name Acorn Archimedes. Some of ]] emulator for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Master other model variants[Emulators on MegaDrive|Sega Mega Drive (Genesis)]] that followed after include '''Master Turbo''' and '''Master 512'''. The system was primarily used in schools across the United Kingdom, but also found success in the home computer markets in the UK, the US, and West Germany.
The '''Acorn Electron''' is a budget version of the BBC Micro; it uses the same processor and is software compatible (albeit slower) for programs that use the hardware abstractions and video modes provided by Acorn's OS, but uses incompatible hardware. As a result, it has a largely distinct set of emulators. ==EmulatorsDownload==While the BBC Micro had fewer games than its contemporary systems like the [[ZX Spectrum emulators|ZX Spectrum]], [[Amstrad CPC emulators|Amstrad CPC]], or [[Commodore 64 emulators|Commodore 64]], it was a powerful machine and several notable titles were created for it, including Elite and Starship Command. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"|+ BBC Micro! scope="col"|Name! scope="col"|Platform(s)! scope="col"|Latest Version! scope="col"|BBC Micro! scope="col"|BBC Master! scopecellpadding="col"|<abbr title="Free/Libre and Open-Source Software">FLOSS</abbr>! scope="col"|Active! scope="col"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommended]]|-!colspan="8"|PC / x86|-|[http://www.mkw.me.uk/beebem/index.html BeebEM]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD|AmigaOS|RiscOS}}|[https://github.com/stardot/beebem-windows/releases git]|B, B+, M128|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|-|[https://github.com/stardot/b-em B-em]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD}}|[http://b-em.bbcmicro.com/ 2.2], [https://github.com/stardot/b-em git]|A, B, B+, M128, MC|MT, M512|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|-|Model B|align=left|{{Icon|Windows}}|[http://modelb.bbcmicro.com/ 10-04-04]|B, B+|{{✗}}|?|{{✗}}|{{✓}}|-|[https://xania.org/Emulation jsbeeb]|align=left|{{Icon|Web}}|[https://bbc.godbolt.org/ Web], [https://github.com/mattgodbolt/jsbeeb git]|B, M128|MT|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|-|[https://web.archive.org/web/20181130010333/homepages.paradise.net.nz/mjfoot/bbc.htm BeebIt]|align=left|{{Icon|RiscOS}}|[https://web.archive.org/web/20181130010333/homepages.paradise.net.nz/mjfoot/bbc.htm 0.65]|B, B+, M128|{{✗}}|?|{{✗}}|{{✓}}|-|[https://www.rokcoder.com/bbcmicro/]|align=left|{{Icon|Web}}|[https://turbowarp.org/531881458?fps=50&clones=Infinity&limitless/TurboWarp], [https://www.rokcoder.com/bbcmicro/Rokcoder Website]|A, B, B+, M128, MC|MT|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|-|[https://web.archive.org/web/20181130010333/homepages.paradise.net.nz/mjfoot/bbc.htm BeebItJ]|align=left|{{Icon|RiscOS}}|[https://web.archive.org/web/20181130010333/homepages.paradise.net.nz/mjfoot/bbc.htm 1.03]|B, B+, M128|{{✗}}|?|{{✗}}|{{~}}|-|[https://www.bannister.org/software/horizon.htm Horizon]|align=left|{{Icon|macOS}}|[http://www.stairwaytohell.com/emulators/homepage.html 1.4.0]|B|{{✗}}|?|{{✓}}|{{~}}|-|[https://github.com/tom-seddon/b2 B2]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD}}|[https://github.com/tom-seddon/b2/releases git]|B, B+, M128|{{✗}}|?|{{✓}}|{{✗}}|-!colspan="8"|Mobile / ARM|-|[https://github.com/littlefluffytoys/Beebdroid Beebdroid]<br/><small>(B-em based)</small>|align=left|{{Icon|Android}}|[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.littlefluffytoys.beebdroid&hl=en 2.0]|A, B, B+, M128, MC|MT, M512|?|{{✗}}|{{✓}}|-!colspan="8"|Console|-|PSPBEEB|align=left|{{Icon|PSP}}|[http://www.qj.net/psp/homebrew-emulators/pspbeeb-v110-bbc-micro-emulator-for-psp.html 1.10]|B|{{✗}}|?|{{✗}}|{{✓}}
