I have seen some sites where a programmer places a functional VB6 game on a web page. If anyone knows how to do this or knows of a tutorial, I would be very appreciative.

This is tough, because a user would have to have the VB6 runtime on their machine in order to play. This would require the user from having Win2k or later, or run a separate download to install it.

If you compile a VB App in DHTML and installed it on a web server such as IIS, would it work properly or would you need to write in Visual Interdev? Rob
Just my $.02.
 
I think you'd need the runtime on the user's machine, even if your game was a huge OCX.

Try Migrating the game to ActiveX Documents using the wizard in VB6.
Create an installation cab using the wizard including any runtimes etc. and deploy to the webserver.
