Actually, contrary to what people are telling you, yes you can make a video game with minimal computer skills. There are two ideal pieces of software for you (ie these are great places to start):

First (most popular) is Game Maker 7. Many a folk in the same position as you have begun their game developing careers here. Also when you get more comfortable with it you can start to get more advanced with its integrated scripting language.

Second is The Games Factory 2 / Multimedia Fusion 2. These use purely drag and drop event based system. It is in a different style than Game Maker 7 so some people may find this more comfortable. Start with The Games Factory 2 as Multimedia Fusion 2 is for when you become a bit more advanced.

If you absolutely want to make games, don't let anyone tell you that you can't!

You can check out what kind of games were made using these engines at: http://db.tigsource.com/browse . Just change the engine dropdown to Game Maker or TGF/MMF. Maybe it will give you some extra motivation.

And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.
