Want to start making games, no luck at all

Hi there
I want to learn to make games for Megadrive/Genesis. I know C but before I tried to use Basic to start, remembering my Spectrum days long time ago.
First I tried to install BasiEgaXorz.
First example:
When compiling I get error:
Don't know what to do ( I put a space/tab before print), nothing in google.
Think print is not illegal but, how knows, something is wrong but I don't know what.
So I installed SecondBasic. Ok, it's updated, ok I change config as there are some wrong paths after install program, then I succesfully compile some examples.
But every example I make, always the same in the compiler, black screen and 2 zeros (please see attached).
Seems I have to forget about Basic and go to SGDK
