I really liked QBasic in the 90's. Its help, debugging functions, and example games you could modify, were amazing to learn programming as a kid.
I also tried some Visual Basic back then, but didn't like it because I loved drawing things with pixels in QBasic (using PSET, CIRCLE, etc..., in e.g. Mode 13h) and VB couldn't do that (at least not any way I knew), only create GUI windows with radio buttons and such, which really disappointed me.
