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!
Game comments are here, for details:
' Program : QBMissle

' Qbmissle is unfinished. I wanted to add smart bombs and a high score
' 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
' game and shows that Qbasic is capable gaming platform.
'
' 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And for folks who like to ask, "Will QB64PE still run my anicent and outdated QBASIC code, without needing changes?", I think this is a good example of how hard we work to be able to do that.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!
