I just started this whole QB thing. I need to know, how do I even run a game?

you need to do the following steps to execute a program in QBasic.

1. Load it the QBasic IDE
2. Select the File menu where you'll notice the "Open" option.
3. Once in Open, you'll see files (bottom left) and folders (bottom right) in the window that appears...go to the folder where the game was saved, and you'll see the name of the .bas module in the llist of files on the left.
4. go to the list of files and select the file you want to execute. Press Enter.
5. once the program is loaded, hit the F5 key (or select the Run menu then the Start Option in that menu.

And voila, the game should start to execute.

Hope this helps, and welcome aboard the World Of QBasic and family.

Wow, do you think that he is a complete retard?

I think he knows how to open a program....

Ya, just press SHIFT + F5 to START a program and F5 to CONTINUE a program...

If I was suppose to understand that one way or another, I truely am stupid.

I open the .bas, i get a list of files that are vital for the game... Then I press F5, then... Somekind of error about a file not being found comes up... Gawh

when you get a list of .bas files you should be able to select one of them with the mouse or with the keyboard...then you click the ok button and the file should get loaded

Nonono, I'm past that, once I load the .bas, a list of files is shown, the ones from the game, I then press F5... and it says somethnig about a file not being found... which has to be impossible! I downloaded the game from this site!
