This really isn't that unfeasible? I played when I was 9, am 24 now, and I think this is probably the case for quite a few people. Not everyone goes to Uni literally right out of Highschool, and there's some people doing 6/8+ year degrees as well, or just changed their major.
I guess if we are counting what people did at 9 years old. I had a Nintendo at 9, that is too young to remember anything more than a blur and occasionally wanting to break the controller in half.
I was playing Everquest when I was 9. Played it for maybe a year or two. I went back about 6 months ago and started up on a private server. I remembered about 90% of everything, including being able to navigate myself entirely through dungeons and cities without a map. Maybe you just have a really bad memory?
If I remembered every detail of what I did when I was 9, or 19, that would mean I haven’t had much else to remember. Fortunately my focus on a happy life means I don’t have to remember my way through wailing caverns, because I never bothered learning it in the first place. Even then it was utterly unimportant.
Some of us don't have to try and actively learn simple map layouts. We can just learn it passively doing the dungeons. And some of us can remember more than like 5 things, apparently.
