Remaining users of QB

[Radical Raccoon]

QB can be fun, but there's nothing fun about it when you find out that no one else can run your game. You can't use EMS libs anymore because it's a pain (and sometimes impossible) to enable it with the new versions of Windows. You can use DosBox, but that's too slow (and inconvenient for users). You can try some other memory management system, and your game still might not work with ME/XP/Vista. It's just more convenient nowadays to use a modern compiler, such as FreeBasic, or to move on to C/C++/Java/etc. Anything I make I want it to be as playable on as many (modern) computers as possible. It's just not worth it to devote so much time into making something that won't be compatible with 90% of the computers that download it. The DOS market is just a niche now. I miss it. I mean, DOS was fun and simple, but no one supports it anymore.
