Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2011 18:16:17 -0500 Hi Ryan, First, I don't know if you are aware of this but Microsoft completely dropped support for Visual Basic 6 and earlier in Windows 7. As a result if you want to play the games like Robert's games, which were written in Visual Basic 6, you have to install the full Visual Basic 6 runtime. You also need the Visual Basic 6 components for DirectX 8 which also do not ship with DirectX 9 and do not ship with the Visual Basic runtime. The easiest way to get these components installed is to install Jim Kitchen's Winkit setup program that givews you most of the Windows 9x and XP backward compatibility libraries for Visual Basic.
