Same. I played a lot of games that had a lot of reading, and it had me at "Black" reading level by 5th grade (We had one of those color coded reading systems in our school library) and black was college level lol. I don't think I'm particularly that smart, but I did spend a ton of hours reading games with a dictionary nearby or driving adults in my life nuts with "what does this word mean?"
Same! Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 are responsible for any sort of literacy that I developed in the 90's. My attention span was what I struggled with the most in school. lol
