I don't know much about the company - I've never come across either PureBasic or SpiderBasic before - but they remind me very much of tools like Blitz BASIC and AMOS on the Amiga, or STOS on the Atari ST back in the early 90s. All of these are dialects of BASIC very much geared towards games and multimedia. Don't think any of the same people are involved but the similarities are striking, and I'm somewhat heartened to see there's still a market for these kinds of programming environments. They're certainly great for teaching and getting kids interested in computing because of the almost instant results you can achieve.
