Solution

We are given a .bas file. I initially thought it was a typical BASIC file, however running it as if it were one was unsuccessful. I then searched for “.bas file apple”, revealing the file contained Applesoft Basic code. I found an interpreter online and ran the code, returning the flag.

Flag
