So in essence, you want one of us to do your homework?

Google -> "game MFC C++ .NET"

My 2 cents: if you're going to develop for Windows then DirectX is the usual
choice of the developers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx). You can
program against the DirectX either from unmanaged code (VC++) or from
managed code (VC++ .NET). A .NET implementation will always be slightly
slower
(http://www.vertigosoftware.com/Quake2NETDownloads/Quake II NET Port Whitepaper.pdf
[see page 12]), but I don't think that performance is on top of your list.

Hello,

.NET isn't at all the best choice to write a game. For a game engine,
..NET doesn't offers you any extra (or enough good) feature that justify
the slow down that will introduce the use of .NET in your application.

My personal opinion is that if you can avoid MFC too, do it. Win32 for
window management and direct input for keyboard/joystick/mouse are the
only things that you need, later you can choose between OpenGL or
DirectX for the rendering, but as I said, plain Win32 will do the work.
