By BASIC do you mean all the Basic versions which came before Microsoft Quickbasic and QBasic? These old Basic versions are practically dead now since they're more than 20 years old.
QuickBasic and Qbasic, collectively known as QB, are very similar to each other, mostly differing in the development environment.
There is no $$$ between QB and the old Basic's. QB added many enhancements and capabilites to the original Basic language.
So, to answer your question, QB, and specifically QBasic 4.5, would be your best bet for game development.
Actually, QB is now obsolete since Microsoft stopped supporting it at least 10 years ago. Mostly what keeps it alive are game programmers. Other than assembly language, there are few languages better suited to game development than QB.
Go to it!

You can set up the environment for her by teaching her how to double click qb.exe and then pressing F5 to run her code. To download QB, go to qbnz.com, software section, and download qb version 4.5 and unzip it.
