BeebEm to emulator całej gamy modeli mikrokomputera BBC Micro, który zawojował Anglię na początku lat 80 i stanowił groźna konkurencję dla powstałego mniej więcej w tym samym czasie Spectrum i C64. Komputer opracowano z myślą o platformie edukacyjnej (BBC Computer Literacy Project) - Micro stał się bohaterem w programów telewizyjnych, czy też był wykorzystywany jako platforma (Master 128) w jednym z ciekawszych projektów "Doomsday Project" (którego nośnik, śmiało można nazwać prekursorem dzisiejszego CD-ROMU).
