The Jupiter Ace by Jupiter Cantab was a British home computer released in 1982. The Ace differed from other microcomputers of the time in that its programming environment used Forth instead of the more popular BASIC.[1][2] This difference, along with limited available software and poor character based graphic display, limited sales and the machine was not a success.[3][4]
