Borland CBuilder

Borland C++Builder

A close rival to Visual C++ is Borland C++Builder, which is also a very popular professional grade C++ development tool. There was a time when an earlier version of this tool was pretty much the only C++ development environment for Windows, but Microsoft quickly geared up and challenged Borland with Visual C++. Nevertheless, Borland C++Builder is a very capable development tool for game construction. There is a version of C++Builder called C++Builder Personal that is geared toward individual developers, and it is priced accordingly . I highly encourage you to check it out.
