Anyone here old enough to remember the QB RPG scene? It seemed hundreds of people were concurrently working on a NES/SNES style RPG for the PC in QuickBASIC back then. Even I got caught up in the craze and had partially developed an RPG (several attempts at it). Every so often, I google a couple of the old QB RPG projects I remember. There are a few files that are still floating around (including my own game), and I think there may be a very tiny group of people STILL USING Qb. It seems a lot of people have moved on to FreeBASIC, which emulates QB's syntax (and even has a compatibility mode), plus a lot more.
I actually dabbled in FreeBASIC a little over a year ago, until I got a notion to check out NESDEV stuff, where I finally feel totally at home.
