I have fond memories of QB, but going back to it after 10 years is really brutal. Modern programming languages have evolved a lot, and QB just can't compete.

Red Baron by Adam Stanchos was a very polished game. It showed me what good programming was. Adam personally gave me a few tips on programming and I feel that my interaction with him and his QBasic software contributed greatly to my love of programming. I was 12 years old at that time, and I am now ...
