The original "QBDEFEND.BAS" failed because of deffn, so I turned that into a function.
It now runs but way too fast, so I added _Limit at line 248, which brought it back to normal speed.
That version is "QBDEFEND_v2.BAS". 

(I tried cleaning it up some more but "QBDEFEND_v8.BAS" fails with a subscript out of range error at line 2784.)

There are probably bigger problems with the program - ancient joystick, timer, adlib routines, writing to adlibs registers, a whole lot of stuff I don't understand.

If anyone wants to play with it, I am attaching the code!

I'll take a look at it. Thanks for posting.
Software and cathedrals are much the same — first we build them, then we pray.
