Hello everyone. I am an amateur developer, and I'm here to promote a
page on my blog featuring programs I offer to the public.

I like to program in Game Maker and various dialects of BASIC,
including Emergence BASIC, FreeBASIC, REALbasic, Visual Basic, even
QuickBASIC.

I like to focus on simplicity and nostalgia, and my programs are 100%
free.

You can visit my software page here (now at a new location):

Please spread the word and share with anyone who might be interested.
Thank you.

Have you done anything in ASIC? It's severely limited compared to any
of those. I noticed your sinkzeship game is ebasic... Not too shabby..

Will you consider sharing source? I like going back in time on
occasion.

Nice little programs man.

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply; I originally posted this to just get the word out and didn't check for responses right away. Send me some personal e-mail, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have about my programs.

About ASIC ... actually no, although I think I've heard of it, I've never done anything with it.

No! Don't think I'll need anything at all. All in all it was all just
