Ahem. Yes. I did this sort of thing a lot as a kid. Slaying dragons, fighting zombies, defeating international super spies. Funny thing is, the only video games I'd ever played were a really early version of Mario Brothers and something else that looked a lot like it, but the idea was to grab as many healthy snacks as possible.
Heck, until about sixth grade I didn't even know what a Nintendo was.
Maybe it was all the fantasy and sci-fi books that did it.
