I recently created a new Basic Links Page and would like to share it with you.

It directs you to useful, interesting, and inspiring projects and information sources.
Mostly rare and forgotten old projects that deserve to be preserved and known again.

Some of the sources are lost and I had to link to archives.

Poke around at all of the links. There's a lot to see. If you find anything interesting, please share it here.

Thank you very much for all this information, I will investigate it conscientiously. 

I would like to point out based on your question on the other thread that optimization is an important factor in game programming languages.

The oldest version of the Blitz Basic compiler I have puts out 600kb exes.
The newer Blitz versions are like over 1mb.
Last I checked, Gamemaker puts out 2mb exes.
Without heavily configuring optimization settings, Bloodshed Dev C++ puts out something around 500kb exes.
FreeBasic and QB64 put out large exes without considerable use of optimization settings and still are somewhat bloated (although they are free, so this is fair)

For comparison, I am working on an RTS game in Blitz Basic that compiles to about 2mb. A classic RTS game called AGE of Empires 2 is also a 2mb exe, but is way more packed with content. Had I developed it with a more efficient language, it would be smaller. The thing is Blitz gives us so many features to work with, so it's tempting to use. You will hardly see a better "game programming language" suited for the average user than Blitz Basic.

I have been trying to improve my skills with Emergence Basic for the past few years so that I can depend on Blitz less. Blitz Basic was the first language I learned. I was 13 at the time. 29 now.

Many interesting hyperlinks on that webpage. Thanks.

The page has been moved to my new site.
