VB6 is how I got really started off with programming and building games. There were project files you could find online of games made in VB6 of such immense complexity (one was an 'MMORPG' with networking, file save/load and data serialisation via RTF blocks, etc.) that it made my head spin. I don't know if I would have gotten into programming at such a young age otherwise.
Are you by any chance talking about Mirage online (and it’s many other servers)?
I remember loving that game (or the Jerrath Online server anyways) and being amazed by it. I knew enough about computers to know it was programmed in VB 6, but not enough to actually code.
But the desire to eventually make something like it definitely had to do with my interest in coding later on.
