Compilers
| Name | Rating | Description |
| Qbasic 1.1 | *** | Pretty good source code editor, does not come with a compiler. I used this for about a year until I got qbasic 4.5! |
| Qbasic 4.5 | ***** | In mine and just about everybody's eyes, the best source editor/compiler! |
| Qbasic 7.1 NEW! | ***** | Great compiler. Like qbasic 4.5, but with some added features. |
Qbasic Libraries
| Name | Rating | Description |
| Direct QB 1.5 | ***** | Qbasic libraries are for qb 4.5 and up! Written mostly in assembly, optomized for speed! Has support for Graphics, Joystick, Soundblaster, even 3d. Awesome library |
Strategy
| Name | Rating | Description |
| Sim Empire | *** | This game has no sound, is missing a few options, but is a Qbasic strategy game. If you like Strategy games and would like to program them, check it out! |
Fighters
| Name | Rating | Description |
| sphere fighter | **** | This game has great sound blaster routine, really neat graphics, and a good control of the opponent, if you know what I mean! |
Action/Arcade games
| Name | Rating | Description |
| Groove Bugs | **** | The game itself isn't nearly as good as the introduction! 3d movie-like introduction! Totally cool! |
| Kill bob | **** | This game is made by M/K productions! The program itself is great, but not too entertaining. This baby is digitalized. Worth the download! |
| Monofull | ***** | This game is a very addicting space shooter game. Too bad it's only in black and white, you may edit the level on it! If you know how to! |
| Wetspot | ***** | The legendery game by Enhanced Creations! If you like this one, check out wetspot 2, really neat intro, sound blaster, and load other worlds! |
Utilities
QB draw-****-This is a great tile editor. You may make up to 60 by 60 tiles in screen 13. It even comes with a program that will load the tile into your project.(while it's running)
Bmp load-*****-This program will load a specified bmp file onto the screen, quickly! Made by M/K productions!
RPGs
Dark ages-*****-Superior RPG! I spent all night trying to beat it! The graphics aren't as good as the story line!
Dark Castle 1-***-Looks like a pretty good RPG, though I havn't had much of a chance to play it! Too busy!
Queatures-***-A pokemon type game made by stallion productions! Though Stallion has gotten a lot better lately because of QB libraries...So has Graffitii Software :-)
Qb cookie-***-The first RPG in the series of Cookie Delivery! Though isn't much of an RPG, I think it should go under the category of Action/Arcade! Pretty neat though
Mini RPG2-****-This is another great rpg, though would probably be better with sound. Much like Mini RPG3
Mini RPG 3-*****-This is a great rpg, probably the best qbasic RPG I have seen yet, made by Jaws-V-soft! Must download this!
Monster Hunter-****-This is the game that really got me started with game making! has different episodes, where you kill monsters!
3d programs/demos
Test 3d-****-This can draw a lot of polygons really fast, and also shades them. I would say this one is about 30-60 Frames Per Second! really cool
3d bounce-****-This was made by M/K productions I believe and demonstrates different 3d graphic techniques. This isn't one of those faked 2d crap engines, this is real baby!
Ray casting 2-*****-This is the best qbasic 3d demo I have seen yet. Features real, proffessional raycasting, but is a little slow, I would definently download this!
Plasma-***-This is a plasma demo, though all it does is make a little cloud structure kinda thing spread across the screen, check it out!
Xeno-*****-This program requires Direct QB library to run, though it also comes with an execute version. Real-time 3d!
