Hello,
Would it be possible to make a successful game (provided there are good code and graphics) in Visual Basic 6 using the DirectX 8.1 SDK? I'm pretty experienced with VB6 and API's. BTW, I have Visual Studio 6 Enterprise (if DirectX SDK requires that).

I downloaded DirectX 8.1 Developer Runtime and DirectX 8.1 Visual Basic SDK from microsoft. I tried installing it on my pc (running on Windows 98) and it doesnt work. It tells me that it isnt a valid Win 32 program or something. What could be wrong? Thanks!

Sounds like you got a corrupted exe. Try downloading it again. Installed it on both Windows 98 and Windows XP and it worked fine on both. And yes, you can produce a decent game under Visual Basic 6 and DirectX 8.1. You will get better framerates with VC++ depending on how graphics intensive you are going to get and what features (enviroment mapping, bump mapping, volumetric lighting, etc.) you use. But it CAN be done.
