Uh, I've met Wizardry on a PC system the first time. I didn't know it under TOS but the most games were made for Atari and Commodore computers first.
Haha...yes, maybe I would have done the school better too but on the other side I'd have so many things beside gaming to distract from school like music, sports, friends, tv, nature (I played often in the forest). Today I'm a hardware and software engineer who think that it was the best thing I could ever do to distract from school because I've learned so much more out of school than in school. So, to date I'm a great disclaimer of today's school systems...
Learning by doing/playing is the best way to go. I'm still learning on this way until today and so I've reached the highest intelligence values by psychologist's tests...
...hey, they've tested me from time to time because all the teachers thought that I'm a little bit stupid but I was only bored by their stupid school system...
I had the hell on earth because they thought that I'm stupid but the only fact is that THEY didn't undertand ME. Maybe they were too stupid instead of me. It was the pure terror to me!!!
...if I hadn't have my parents!!!
Okay, playing Wizardry is a good training for solving puzzles and troubles. This will trainee your mind. So, this game is a good teacher (also Dungeon Master, Ultima, Bard's Tale, etc.)...
