The '''BBC Micro''' platform amassed a large software base of games and educational titles, reflecting its dual niches at home and in the classroom. Notable examples of each include the original release of ''[[Elite]]'' and ''[[Granny's Garden]]''. Programming languages and some applications were supplied on ROM chips to be installed on the motherboard. These could be loaded instantly and left the main RAM free for programs or documents.
