DarkBASIC

In the 1980s when videogames were a fledgling pastime and not the commercial, massmarket, Ministry of Sound occupation that they are now, many of the games available at retail were made by one person writing in BASIC (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) - the so-called bedroom coders. Sony's innovative and highly commendable Net Yaroze scheme tried to reinvent the bedroom coder for the new generation but high costs and its use of complex programming language C meant that its appeal was limited.
