I'm curious about how many escapists have ever made a video game of any kind. (I have for, the record)

I have, when I was first learning how to use Flex. Well, really, when I was first learning, I just made Pong and Breakout.
However, I recently did a bit of work for my cousin's partner's company, made a prototype of a game for them.

A lot. Most of my games are unfinished, but I released four games on the internet. Generally I got some pretty positive reactions and A Slightly Difficult Game, my most succesfull one, has been played by about 800 people (including the well-know indie developper Jesse Venbrux, which is quite an honour).
Anyway, let's take this chance to shamelessly advertise them:
Unscientific Fiction [http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=visgp8mtw1wjlrx5]: A comedic Sci-Fi Interactive Fiction that's pretty big, absurd and full of puzzles with strange but logical solutions. Almost nobody has bothered to try it out yet even though I worked on it for years. I'd really appreciate it if someone would want to give some comments on it.
A Slightly Difficult Game [http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/59370]: a ridiculously hard platformer that parodies fake difficulty in 8-bit games and adds another dimension to it. Inspired by I Wanna Be The Guy and masochistic Super Mario World hacks. If you can even beat level 1 you can call yourself a true hardcore gamer. So far only four people (including me)have finished it.
Asteroia [http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/65461]: An arcade game in which you must save the world from incoming asteroids by using gravity to change their trajectories. It will need a bit of getting used to when you just start but, according to my friends, it can be pretty addicting when you get the hang of it. Has online high scores.
Zyxis: A puzzle game I made a few years ago. Not online anymore more but back then it was appreciated by the few people that played it.

You're going to have to define "game". Certainly nothing like modern games. But when I was bored in high school I would program "games" in basic, and play them on a graphing calculator. Mostly text-based, with very few graphics. But it beat paying attention in class.
Also, do mods for existing games count? I used to make Use Map Settings games in Starcraft a long time ago.

I had an unfinished one in RPG maker, basically think Dissidia, only for everything. The complete party (if I can remember off the top of my head) was:
Link
Sephiroth
Crono
Marth
Dante
Goku (powered down through the plot)
Fox
Vincent
Ganondorf
And I can't remember the rest. The protagonists were a few known ones, and they were rounded up by one original character.
...Oh shut up, I was fifteen.

I went to Digipen (the place that made Portal) for a game-creating class. I made a silly little game which I plan to make again, so I won't tell you what it was.
Yep, many.
Mainly in Game Maker 6.1, but RPG Maker, FPS Creator, Visual Basic, DarkBasic, C#, and Flash 8 have all been tools of my trade.
Currently developing a little Horror-Based FPS at the moment, hoping to get into somewhere like Digipen University after High School.
(Also, mods should count as games. You have no idea how much work it takes to make a good mod for most games, I've done some Half-Life 2 modding myself, its a pain.)
