Video Games Rule!!

I absolutely LOVE video games! When I was a kid, I wanted to be the CEO for Nintendo of America. What a dream huh? I didn't realize that to get to that point, you have to have several degrees and business knowledge. Ignorance is bliss is it not? Well, I still dream of that, not necessarily being the CEO for NOA, but I still want to be in the business market of video games!

What I currently do now is buy and resale video games on ebay and locally. It doesn't make tons of money tho, but its a nice little fat change! I still want to create video games, like design them and make storylines. I was thinking about doing that in my spare time. Among the other billion hobbies I do in 'my spare time'. Sheesh!

So anyway, I'm trying to find information on the net about how to build or create a video game. I have some old college text books on programming, but nothing on how to make, create, or even start a video game. I was wondering if there was some kind of Java programming that could possibly help me out with this. I've seen lots of Macromedia video games floating around; not very extensive but not too bad either.

Well, if anyone has any good recommendations I'd be more than happy to hear them! In any case, I'm on the hunt! Thanks for listening!
