[gameprogrammer] Game programming in VB?

Hey guys,

        I've posted on here before, but I'm looking to get started with a 
project. I am a pretty experienced programmer in Delphi, but have only minimal 
experience in other languages such as C++ and Visual Basic. I've been using 
Visual Basic now exclusively in my present job for about 4 months now. I'm 
confident enough in Visual Basic that I'd like to start to develop a game in VB 
just to both enhance my Visual Basic skills and to also improve my 
understanding of how games work.

Someone gave me Dark Basic... the entire thing, manuals, box, and CD. I've been 
reading it and it's acutally pretty interesting.

My question however is, are there any "engines" that I can simply download and 
begin using? I'd like to start off with something fairly simple like a game 
similar to Starflight or Starcontrol. At least something that's more 
programming than having to rely on a lot of graphics. 

I'd like to hear from anyone who has any comments or advice!


Thanks!!!

Todd
