I don't think those games were written in powerbasic. If they were,
there would be no need for all those dlls that come with most of the

Powerbasic produces executables that are extremely small, and have no
external dll requirements, and run on all versions of windows from 95
up to 10. Jim's games definitely require external dlls, and
sometimes, even need extra libs installed. I'm pretty sure it was
visual basic used for their development, not powerbasic, but since I
don't play those games, I could be wrong, but regardless, powerbasic
has a free classic version of it's compiler available at it's web
site, anyone can download the version 9 gui compiler, and version 5
commandline compiler for free, and I strongly urge anyone looking to
write windows programs to do so, since there's no other compiler in
the industry that produces tighter executables.
