Are their any upgrades I can get for my EMachines XP to make video games?

Or are they just programmed using NotePad? I am mostly interested in making 2 Dimensional (2D) games like Mega Man, Super Mario Bros. etc.

Depends on what programming method you are using...

If would be very difficult to program anything in Notepad. You would also need a compiler. Microsoft has free versions of Visual Studio 2005 available (an Express edition). You can pick your programming language: Visual Basic, C# or C++. I recommend Visual Basic if you have no programming experience. You can download them at this link:

A Beta 2 version of Visual Studio 2008 is also available for free, but I recommend starting with the 2005 editions. Beta 2 has a few bugs. The 2008 versions will be available in the first quarter of 2008.

Once you've downloaded visual studio express you might check out http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/arc...g/default.aspx
There is a lot of info on coding games using VS express.
