Hi Ken,
Well, to start with you definitely need the full Visual Basic 6 runtime
libraries as well as dx8vb.dll as none of those libraries come with
Vista, Win 7, or Windows 8.
It would help if you bundled those files with your games.

Hi,
Yes, I know that I have been doing everything wrong for over 20 years. I know
this because people such as James, Thomas and Shaun have told me this over and
over. And yes I am very lazy because none of the below games have ever used
option explicit, but hey I am not working on beta 28
focusing on the end product
rather than the language the guy used to make it please.

Hi Jim,
Many of us do not have VB6 on our systems. Porting it over to BGT will
allow
many more people to actually look at the game, and it will probably

Hi Hayden,
Exactly right. More and more people are now getting into the swing of BGT,

seeing doing quite well for themselves.

Well, it is a portable helicopter. It's not going to sound like a life-size
helicopter would sound when it's ten feet in the air.
Also, the reason you're not hearing the 3d side is because both the enemy
