Certainly. You need to take a look at the DirectX 9 SDK. That will help
you write games for Windows using VB if you want.

I just thought I'd mention DirectX is not 'needed', and may be a bit
of overkill for turn based games like solitaire, or chess. An RPG
could also be of the turn-by-turn type. In either case, I'd think its the
artwork that is going to be what needs attention. Whether animated
or not, the artwork has to be presentable....

True, however, most games, whether using animations or not, can benefit from
the audio capabilities of DirectX as well.

No no, a free copy is what you were supposed to say <G>.
