Depending on which platform interests you it might or might not be avaialable. A quick search for the Commodore 64 brings up a lot of info:

Seems like there might be good hardware support for Forth on the C64

There was a really neat looking FORTH for the C64 focused on game programming: White Lightning[0]. oh - it runs on Zx80 too... I always wanted to play with it as a kid, but never got around to it :-/

I got it loading in a Commodore 64 emulator. It seems cool but I don't really know what I'm doing just yet.

The download I found had a full manual so I might see if I can figure out how to do some kind of graphical stuff.
