Leisure suit Larry taught me about STDs and the importance of using a lubber.
Civilization taught me world history and never to trust other countries.
Everquest taught me to hate random people online.
Half-Life taught me to distrust any authority.
Carmageddon taught me how to drive.
Most of all games taught me violence is always the quickest solution. And that stealing is your right as a growing up gamer, copy everything, pay for nothing.
On a more serious note. It got me interested in programming. It taught me Basic by typing in listings for small games and altering them. Which led to making my own. Then I reverse engineered civ.exe and altered the run-time libraries to create many variations. Then Dune 2 got me interested in C to make a level editor with mouse controlled GUI, and so forth. So no surprise I ended up in software development.
The best thing that came out of it is that I met my wife on Everquest.
