QB Missle - SMcNeill - 10-24-2024

Here's an ancient game from long ago and far away that still seems to run more-or-less as intended on QB64PE -- QB Missle!

Quote: Fully playable, unfinished version of Qbasic Missile Command clone. Defend your city's against a barrage of nuclear missile attacks. Features sprite graphics, FX sounds, mouse control and unlimited levels. This game is not compiled.

'  screen but i just haven't had the time. I don't plan on finishing it
'  but I though Qbasic fans would like it anyway. It's still a playable

' To play :
'  Move the targeting cursor with the mouse and press a mouse button to
'  fire an antiballistic missle. Progressive levels will get harder.

And for folks who like to ask, "Will QB64PE still run my anicent and outdated QBASIC code, without needing changes?", I think this is a good example of how hard we work to be able to do that.

Take old code.
Load into QB64PE compiler.
Run executable!

It must have been hard for Tim to code... missing an "i" and all.

Some of the old Qbasic games are really cool, and just ripe for a QB64PE boost. 

I saw a lady on a tv interview, around Christmas, with a small missile tattooed on her big toe.  She said it was her missile toe.

Bad Pete!   BAD!!   You're starting to rub off on Dav!   BAD PETE!!!   Tongue


Try this version if you want.  It's the same game, but the sounds should work with the lastest versions of QB64PE now.  Wink

Don't make me put Dav's missile toe in your ascii!
