Well if you have no experience whatsoever how are you thingking about porting a Pc game to the Amiga.

Besides that the Amiga hardware is to weak to really port games to. The videocards are to slow to really enjoy a pc game that would have been ported.

Speaking for myself i am making an gameboy advance version of Advance WarsII. At first it will run on a classic Amiga 500/2000 with a bit of a ram expansion.

If you are eager to program and write games perhaps that could be an idea for ya. There is enough coding material around for the Gameboy and Amiga to get you started.

My development system is a PC where i use a GBA emulator and WinUAE to write the code on. Later i test it on a classic Amiga to check compatibility. This process of creating a game give much fun. Of course i code in Assembler C++ sux and takes longer to learn.

So let me get this right, you code 68k assembly and test it on a GBA emulator or you code ARM assembly and test it on UAE. Or both?

Your assuming someone whould want to code in C# though.

I've been introducing myself to C# and Visual Studio 2005 at work for a couple of days and I am pleasantly surprised.  It really does seem very good, both the language and most definitely the IDE.
