Don't get fooled by what they say!!! Save yourself money if you don't plan to actually work really hard and spend lots of time doing something. ANd beware...you are NOT going to create a game of a Madden 2004 level in minutes! You can make quite interesting games, but not very complicated. Only buy this if you are SERIOUS!!!

This programmer has changed my life. My wife, my kids, my family, my students all love it.
Rating:  - Great intro into game developing...
A very good start for anyone wanting to get into game developing. I've had great success with this version of DarkBASIC, the pro version still seems extremely buggy at least for me, so I went back to this version. The DarkBASIC forum is very helpful but like other forums you're better off reading through some of the threads before you post a question or risk getting flamed... Unlike general purpose languages like C/C++, DarkBASIC is specifically designed for game developing, meaning that a lot of the house work required to initially set up before actually displaying graphics is done for you... You can very easily display graphics/models/etc in a few lines and begin your game developing adventure right away.
Rating: - Great for programmers with any level of experience
DarkBASIC is a programming language based on the easy-to-use BASIC language and compiled in C++, giving you the ability to create great games in a short amount of time, without knowing a pinch of the extremely complicated C++. A truly remarkable product. Also make sure to look at DarkBASIC Professional, which will be released in Summer of 2002...
Rating: - Great product
DarkBASIC is one of the best game development and rapid prototyping tools you could buy. The most valuable aspect of DarkBASIC is its community. The DarkBASIC community is an active closely-knit group of game developers, 3d modelers, and musicians. The community always welcomes new members and is a superb source for help and ideas. Although the GUI isn't the best Darkbasic Is packaged with another editor called Dark Edit.
