QBASIC files [Outer Court]

Here you'll find a freeware collection of QBasic games. You should only download those labeled as containing an exe if you don't have a QB interpreter.

The Q in QBASIC means quick. Microsoft introduced this enhanced version, and you might find it on your desktop or the Win95 CD. You can also download QB1.1 for free as part of Microsoft's Old Dos collection. Later versions are also able to compile the source code, so that you can run it without an interpreter. Microsoft stopped doing QB and did VisualBASIC, drag and drop Windows programming.

Additional info

Below the program description there might be some extra info. Programs that need the mouse can be normally loaded to some versions, but if you use fe. QuickBASIC 4.5, you have to start QB with "qb /l qb", otherwise mouse functions won't be supported.
Note that if you download programs you should unzip with recurse folder option activated, and then alter the root constant or the CHDIR at the beginning of a program if needed. This has to be done if you don't include a program which contains several files into your QB main directory, or another path is specified.

Various

Green Island

An unfinished but playable real time strategy on an island. You can guide your workers around and assign jobs or build houses. It works like: to get a soldier, you need a weapon. To make a weapon you need metal, to get metal you need a mineworker, and so on. With Soundblaster FX and music.

Shadow over Gnor

I tried to do a RPG with this program. This is alpha version since there is no real story.

Brix

Just another Tetris clone. But there's one little detail which I didn't like about the MS version, which was the way a brick would instantly fall at the bottom when you'd speed up, so I corrected it in this one.

Rings

See for yourself, it's the simple but addictive kind.
exe, mouse

Luftballons

A game for 3+ year olds. You got to crash-eat flying ballons using the arrow keys. Starts out slow, and it's impossible to loose in the beginning. Later on there's things like shooting Helicopters for the advanced players.
