Firts of have you got Dark BASIC Pro, if yes then look at some of the tutorials or source code in the code base for games like space invaders and pong as they are quite simple. Then start work on the type of side scrolling game you want (sonic the hedgehog style, street fighter or one of the dozen space shooter games on the Dreamcast). There is a reall good book you can buy of amazon for complete beginners, thats were I'm starting from.

Good luck

Oli

First of all read through "My First Pong Game" on this board, at the top. You will probably find it helpful in getting started.
