Game programming with BASIC

I recently started game programming, and have decided to use a variant of BASIC that is geared towards game programming. I have found
BlitzBASIC and DarkBASIC and am leaning towards DarkBASIC for a number of reasons. First of all DarkBASIC is cheaper. Second of all the interface is different than most other IDE's that are out there. Third of all the demo version can make EXE's. Lastly the syntax is easier and is more like a blend of traditional and modern BASIC dialects. If this was you what would you choose. ALso has anyone heard of more variants of basic like this? Thanks.

Use C++ its not too much harder then basic, and WELL worth the effort. you can make almost any kind of game in c++ for free! well, it depends on how you do it, but its way worth it
