Ok, I was wondering what you would use to make a computer game. I don't mean something ultra-realistic like Halo or ... well... any game currently on the market. But something like an old Atari game. or even if i could just make a square that you can move around. Would that be OpenGL?

Just about anything: C/C++, Java, Visual Basic, Javasript, Flash, Perl, etc.
Whatever you feel most comfortable with might be the best choice to begin with.

woah, thanks
I never even would of thought about using javascript. I'm just starting to learn C++, I'll probably just use it.
Thanks shmoove

Basic is fine for making nostalgic games as well, although most likely I'll be frowned on for even mentioning it ...
