U GAIZ JUST DONT LIKE CHANGE , (builds a artificial foundation here)
Well, there's the RPG and Fighter Maker games. But other than that, I would guess you'd need some programming knoweledge.
Way back in the day, I used to program games. I actually ran a Qbasic magazine in 98 or so (people knock Qbasic, but I think it's a great place to start and you can really do pretty much anything you want to - I saw guys do raycasting, texture mapping, inline assembly, etc.). It was very popular for quite a while; I think you can still find it on the net if you search for "qb:tm".
The only game of mine I still play is a mini-game called "Dual Sticks." It's only 1kb of code, and the graphics are as simple as you can get, but I like the game a lot. Basically, there are two lines (blue and green) starting in the middle of the left and right sides of the screen. Somewhere on the screen (random), two boxes (also blue/green) appear. The player controls both "lines" simultaneously (8-direction movement) using the number keypad (right hand) and qweadzxc (left hand). If a blue line touches a green line or box, it's a "death". You can go through the sides and top/bottom of the screen to the other side. The goal is to have both lines "hit" their respective colors at the exact same time. The closer the times are to each other, the higher the score. There are 100 levels total (so it's maybe a 15 minute game all told), with each level making the lines move faster Tetris style. Good stuff.
I wrote a really in-depth Zelda-style game as well. 4 spells, 8 enemies (with different AI's) and 144 8 tile by 8 tile maps (made up of hundreds of tiles). I can't find the game now though - I have an Iomega disc that I think has the game on it, so hopefully I can find some way to open it.
Today, I use c++ once in a while for math related algos, but that's about it.
If I could ever find a Win 95 PC to hook my yaroze up to, I think I could work out a basic text adventure
