Et voila - but where is "missile.bas"?

 Here?
 https://github.com/robhagemans/hoard-of-gwbasic/blob/master/AllBasicCode/MISSILE.BAS
 But that is a program for MS GWBASIC and uses its graphics and sound
commands. Is there a Forth implementation with graphics and sound?
 

Win32Forth? iForth? BigForth?
Anyways, that's what threw me off; 1. because I've ported quite a few games to uBasic/4tH - and I don't remember encountering that one and 2. They're always the "minimal basic variety", so they're quite easy to port.
Of course, you could get one running using GWBASIC.EXE under DOSbox - or you could compile (and port) the sourcecode of GWBASIC - or (when running Linux) you could get PC-BASIC - but it should be terribly slow, given it's written in Python. https://github.com/robhagemans/pcbasic/tree/master
I've tried running it under Blassic (my usual "go to"), but it bombed out at line 10. :(
