DarkBASIC

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No third-party references since creation in 2004, promotional tone, defunct software so new RSes very unlikely. I PRODed it, an IP removed the PROD without addressing any of the issues. Disconcertingly, I'm having trouble finding even unreliable sources that aren't primary, let alone reliable ones. The related article DarkBASIC Professional is also at AFD.

Comment Should be merged into article The Game Creators, see Draft:The Game Creators. Jonpatterns (talk) 10:58, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- So far that draft is similarly short on RSes ... but yeah, that would be a good place - David Gerard (talk) 12:06, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think there is enough sources for one article covering The Game Creators and their products. It would take a bit of work to put together though. Jonpatterns (talk) 14:18, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Nothing stopping you copying these into the draft while digesting them :-) - David Gerard (talk) 18:52, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
