   Selling Indie Games
  I am in the process of learning DirectX and I would like to sell a game when I get one finished.  I am not a professional programmer.  I am doing this as a hobby.  Sales volume is not that important to me.  When I get a game done, I just want to share it with other people and make a little bit of money.  I recently wrote an Atari 2600 game called "Backfire".  AtariAge.com makes all of the cartridges, prints the manuals, and ships the orders.  Does anyone have reccomendations about similar companies for PC games.Keep in mind that my main goal is to have fun writing games, and to sell a few copies with minimal effort put into the sales and marketing.
