I only vaguely remember that some famous DOS tutorials were translated into C. I can't remember if it was Denthor or Telemachos or whatever. (It's probably Turbo C, but that's "close enough" to OpenWatcom, or at least closer than Pascal.)

P.S. It's still a good idea to look at actual games and see what they do. Perhaps old QBasic games (or even FreeBASIC), there were tons of those, or something popular that was open-sourced like Descent or Doom or Quake or Ken's Labyrinth or Duke Nukem 3D or R.O.T.T. Heck, even DJGPP's Allegro lib has tons of VGA and VESA support and lots of examples. I know 386 isn't your target, but you can learn a lot from there.
