X for math and Y for reading? Age 9 I obsessed over Civilization, Sim City, Myst and the Journeyman Project. I distinctly remember playing these games and wanting to "be smart", sitting at the computer with a dictionary in hand and a jotter for working out puzzles. I have no doubt that the mastering of these games played a significant role in my academic achievement.
