After playing Ultima III and IV on an Apple as a kid I really wanted to learn enough to program games like that. Unfortunately, I simply wasn't smart enough to understand the subtle details of Apple IIe machine language, graphics, and audio programming at the time, and by the time I knew enough, computers had gotten so much better than Doom and Quake were setting new standards for 3D graphics (at which point I also wanted to write a Quake clone).
