If it's the same thing I've seen, it's far from new.
It's basically (argh....) a BASIC with commands and functions somewhat
more "standard" (whatever that means) than Atari Basic.
Notably, it has standard string functions, e.g., LEFT$, MID$, RIGHT$, etc.,
and string arrays.
As for graphics and sound, I couldn't tell you. I never bought it.
