Is it to late to start computer/game programming?

Absolutely not! You can start learning C++ with these video tutorials:

They are perfect for beginners. This one can get you started by showing you how to install a free compiler:

Here are some simple games with code downloads that you can use to get some ideas:

Best of luck!

No, not at all.

I didn't go to college until I was 33 years old (I don't recommend waiting that long). I got my degree in CIS (Computer Information Systems) and now, 2 years later, I have a great job doing .NET development for a large healthcare corporation.

Before I went to college, I knew very little about computers. Now, I am considered a "guru" by my less knowledgable friends.

I would suggest going to school and getting a degree in the field. I would also suggest either getting a part time job in a helpdesk style position somewhere, or volunteering or just doing some tinkering on your own to get to know hardware and troubleshooting skills. Contrary to what some people believe, those skills are very helpful to me as a developer.

It's never too late to start. Good luck to you : )

Not at all. There are many people who go to college for programming having no background in the subject.

Are you kidding?! You are just the right age to start! Pick a language and buy a book (or go to Lynda.com and see if they have any tutorials on it...Personally, I learn better by doing rather than reading; sound funny from someone who wrote a book on software development, doesn't it?
