I have uploaded a copy of this game to Planet Source Code which enables VB5/6 users to play the game. The title is Air Game for VB 5/6

(VB 6.5 XP) Out of date BitBlt Declaration causes overflow when you press Enter. Replace it with newer version and away you go . Also very, very fast for such small window try setting Timer1.Interval to about 50

I opened this code in VB with Air-X and got an error. I simply closed it and opened the Air-X32 and it worked fine. Ignore whoever said stuff about making planes different colours and stuff. This is one of the best games I've seen on PSC and I just had to comment on a job well done. Excellent game 5 marks from me.

What Roger Gilchrist means by out-of-date BitBlt code is that all the 'Integer' declarations in the BitBlt Declaration in Module1.bas should be changed to 'Long'. Then everything works great!

Using vb.net, there are absolutely no issues (even in xp). could it be that vb.net fixes these issues...?

anyhow, neat game, but the plane would look a bit better in different colors...

I think the Zip file is damaged because it gives an error whenever I try to open it. I have downloaded it 2 or 3 times but it gives the same error message.
