I believe win95 still had qbasic (with its built-in IDE and help/examples) in the Windows folder, but it wasn't in the Start menu anywhere. May have been on the CD instead.
- linguae 5y agoQBASIC was my first programming language, which I learned on my parents PC running Windows 95. It wasn’t installed with Windows 95 by default; I had to copy it from the Windows 95 CD.
- asciimov 5y agoThat is kinda how I remember it. Our computer was from Packard Bell, it didn't come with a proper windows disc and used some proprietary image installer for reinstalls. We did get the Win95 Extras disc as I clearly remember playing Hover!
- asciimov 5y agoMy memory of qbasic on Win95 is hazy. I seem to remember it being there, but it didn't include any of the built in examples or games. Maybe I tried programming things from the books and either couldn't get them to work, or they would run too fast to be playable. Either way, it wasn't predominately featured and without knowing anyone with programming experience, I didn't have any one to ask.
- mysterydip 5y agoYeah, not blaming you at all. It's unfortunate they had it as an afterthought. Could you imagine if they included an educational copy of VB4?
