    MBASIC80 (or 85) - by Microsoft, is the most likely version you need, that was the most commonly distributed and used for games BITD. And, yes, between KS1 and KS2 the legal status of the CP/M distro files were clarified, which meant we got permissions to include them direct on the SD card, anyone with KS1 who upgrades to the KS2 images will also get the files - but the result is the same as if you followed MikeC's video you referenced, just a lot less manual work for the pre-setup KS2 images. -Dx

    There was a game called "Merchant of Venus" by Crystal software which I rarely see mentioned but I was fascinated by. I think Crystal had gotten the idea from "Elite" on the BBC micro and tried a similar idea set on a single planet. The player would have to pilot his "lander" over the landscape to various trading posts and mining instalations to conduct business. This was easier said than done as it was VERY hard to land at destination without A crashing or B landing so hard that your ship was effectively wrecked. The graphics weren't hi res but they were lovingly crafted and if it wasn't for the difficulty curve in piloting the ship, it would be a pretty compelling game...
