Dynamic is an impressive space shooter which was coded in QuickBasic. You are a ... space ship, and your job is to blast stuff. The first few stages you're blasting asteroids, but after that you start battling enemy spacecraft. One interesting aspect of the early stages is that you're supplementing your space station's turrets, so they will sometimes destroy asteroids for you. The resolution of the game is high and it offers decent graphics and visual effects. The gameplay is decent, but not particularly great. (The enemy spacecraft don't exactly have good AI.) Overall a very impressive display of what QuickBasic was capable of. (Source code is unfortunately NOT included.)
