My memory on this is super vague because this was way back in the mists of time, but I
think
some old versions of DOS used to have a BASIC interpreter built in, where you could just start writing BASIC code at the DOS prompt.

QBasic was included in some of the later DOS versions.

There were IBM PCs with BASIC in ROM.

Some versions of DOS had a QBasic interpreter included as a utility. I stumbled upon it by accident when I was about 10 years old.
