With very minimal computer skills you can make a videogame or be part of a team that is creating a videogame, but if you're trying to do it yourself (or with minimal help) the game could not be that complex ...
One strategy to making a videogame which works for people starting out in game development is to find a way to play your game without the need for a computer; create a board-game, card game or a "sports" game of some kind that is enjoyable to play. This works well because you can develop the skills necessary to be a good designer without depending on the skills necessary to become a good developer.
