I made this RPG-demo a while ago. Was busy with it for several months, but after a long rest of programming i'm now getting into FreeBasic. So my question, is this worth converting and further work progress?

Looks interesting, but why is the bomb floating in mid-air?

Well, only you would know if it's worth it to you to build an RPG, if that's what you're asking.

If you're asking whether you should continue using the platform you started on, or if you should go back and start over on a different platform you like better, personally, I'd say that if your development effort has stopped or is still a long way out on the old project, start over on the new platform.

In fact, I'd say don't just port your old engine. You've invariably learned a lot in writing the old engine, so your capabilities are probably greater now. If you're going to start over anyway, don't just start over from the implementation phase - start over from the design phase. Make a better game than what you were originally going to end up with under the old platform.

Looks nice. You should consider migrating towards a more powerful language than QBasic, in my opinion, so sure. It'd be worth porting. More powerful languages mean you can produce better stuff, so I don't see why not. :)
