    Wow, looks pretty darn good for a BASIC game. I really thought there must be some machine code in it somewhere, as I thought the graphic would be much more jerky and flickery for BASIC.

    I loved the sound effects on those early games by BLABY software - stuff like BARMY BURGERS, DO-DO AND THE SNO-BEES, SHUTTLE, GOTCHA etc.

    They were sure as hell not compiled Basic but they MIGHT have been compiled from another language (C for example) although I don't know of any who did. Most later games WERE developed on cross-platform development systems however.
