[PLUG] Need an OLD style BASIC

The thread titled "Learning programming" prompts to ask.
I'm looking for a _simple_ BASIC, similar to "Dartmouth BASIC" or
"Lawrence Livermore BASIC", to run on my Debian machine. Modern Basic's
are too powerful and filled with glitter.
I have mind some simple scripts. I'm learning Tcl which is appropriate
for most if not all of my needs. But my intro to programming used
CORC/CUPL (Cornell's predecessor of Dartmouth's BASIC) and I would like
to use something I'm fluent in. I wouldn't miss requiring line numbers.
I might even use a GOTO or two. (an elderly owl does expect to duck for
cover ;)
TIA
