Very nice code! The game is faithful to the original Famicom game too, from what I remember of the 8 bit 80's :) I have to ask: where's the music? I see the option for Fever and Chill.

Thank you both for the positive feedback :) If I’ve got more time, i will include the music and the missing sound effects. I'm still searching for a good solution without DirectX.

I think the free fmod dll from fmod.org is very good. They have VB6 API modules and sample VB6 code too.

I just found out fmod no longer includes VB6 API modules and examples but you can still get them from Version 4.34.20 under "previous versions of FMOD"

Thank you for the hint, Paul! I'll check it out and hopefully the next version will include the music:)

Very cool mate! I downloaded and started the application immediately. It's been a long time since I played this game but from what I can tell it looks spot on! Gj and 5 globes from me!
