Eclipse with ADT - Cannot Create New Android Project

I'm totally new to Android development, but I've made apps with Java and Eclipse before. Today I was trying to follow a neat tutorial @ KiloBolt (http://www.kilobolt.com/day-1-foundations) formaking and Android game. However, I have this issue that I don't understand preventing me from following along.

Every time I try and create a new Android project in Eclipse, I get to the following screen and cannot press FINISH or NEXT. I have the ADT plugin installed and the Android SDK installed, along with a Java 7 JDK. Eclipse doesn't show any other errors that I know of.

enter image description here

Does anyone know what I might be missing or why Eclipse won't let me create a new Android project?

EDIT: Following Daniel's comment about themes and Android versions, I retried creating a project with the theme set to 'None', but I was still blocked from continuing.

As the comment says, you can't use the Holo Theme with Minimum Required SDK 9. You need at least Minimum Required SDK 14 to use the Holo Theme.

Anyway, you're following a very old tutorial. I strongly recommend you to create a new project with Android Studio instead of Eclipse. It will just work and it will use a more modern structure with gradle (although you will need some time to learn how to use Android Studio)

This is a good place to start: https://medium.com/google-developers/getting-started-with-android-using-android-studio-in-preparation-for-a-zombie-apocalypse-8f42cae10644
