QuickBASIC Lives on with QB64

For me it was GW-BASIC on a Tandy 1000 our family found next to the university dumpster. Kids these days with their fancy-schmancy dropdown menus!

GW-BASIC too! Though in my case, running on a PC XT with an amber monochrome CRT. I remember doing graphics with GW-BASIC (on an Hercules videocard, I think you needed SIMCGA or something like it)... it was a bit like using the LOGO turtle, you had to go left, right, up and down.

Compared to GW-BASIC, QuickBasic was a luxury :)

PC Basic does what GW-Basic used to do. You can type old Basic games into it and they still work.
