Which part do you want to know? Graphics? Core game? Sound? Performance? Animation? Path finding? KI??? there are alot of things you need to know...
If you're new to VB I'd recommend not to make a game first, or not a big one... I dont know your skills, anyways, learn about DirectX or at least API routines (BitBlt and so on)...

If you don't want to implement to many anymations at once and if a Graphicscreen at about 640*480 is enough you can use the bitblt. But If you want bigger things you'll have to use DDraw. In DDraw you have the big advantages of fast graphic drawing and for Animation and you don't have to care about mask files, because DX does it all for you. (YOu could even do fast alphablending) But what DX is not making for you are menus!!!!!!!! You'll have to program your own GUI system. YOu can really get into trouble if you want to have things like non modal windows that shoul be moved over the screen.
So think about what you want before deciding what kind of graphic interface you'll use!
If you want to implement realtime fight (E.g. like in Indiana Jones) I really suggest to use DDraw!
sorry about this bad piece of english
