Game Programming Newbies

I think many people make the mistake that 'the only way to make a cool game
is to have the latest versions of Visual C++, Photoshop, and Studio MAX'.
This is a bad mistake.  For most newbies, they should start out on
DJGPP/Allegro.  It is incredibly user friendly, and with Rhide, can be
almost as powerful as Builder or Visual C++.  I worked with DJGPP for
several years, until I actually made money on a game with Radioactive
Software.    DirectX is great, but for those of you who can't afford Visual
C++, use DJGPP.  It can be very powerful, and is a great way to start off.
