If the interpreter will take LPOKE (or LPEEK) without a syntax error, you've got a Coco 3.  Those items weren't in the earlier BASICs.

God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who _smiles all the time_.
