The best QBasic game ever?

I used to write level editors for a game called monospace when I was a kid. Still a pretty cool game. Here's a gameplay video:

I loved that game. It's a great game with a sad story behind it. I believe the author died of cancer shortly after finishing it.

Yep. The author was Milo Sedlacek (aka Gradius). If I remember correctly, he finished Monospace something like a year before he died. I only knew him through IRC, and I recall how weird it was for everyone to go through it at the time. Most of us were just kids and didn't really have any experience with someone "our age" dying.
