Pascal is still a good language for games and
here(http://www.cs.vu.nl/~jprins/tp.html) is a page that covers allot, you
might even find a newer compiler in there somewhere.
    Personally I'm trying to learn C++, but this is mainly for the fun of
it.

hope that helps

I'm new in the bussines... the last "game" I made was in '91 in an ancient
version of Turbo Pascal.

I always thought there were just one MAYOR languaje. A great "game maker" of
the games I played in Nintendo, Sega, Neo Geo and all that consoles.  Like
Word for text, you know.

I Decided to take the hobbie again and when I found you guys I've got a
shock. I don't know were to begin, you know... they're too many languajes...
and what's a "library"... man, i'm still stunned.

So, where to begin?, where to learn?...
What do you recomend me?
I would love to make fight games like the arcade classic Double Dragon, or
Street Fighter (remember when we were kids?). What languaje do you
recomend.. and if there's a book to learn it, where to buy it?

Hope you can clear the blur.
Bye
