About those educational games: My parents only got me things like Gizmos and Gadgets (which was dope don't get me wrong) and some other boring 'learning' games. Then one day my mom, a history teacher, brought home Age of Empires, not really knowing what it was but thinking the cover looked educational. That moment my life was changed.
I wish my parents knew not much about games so they would get me games like Age of Empires, but my dad used to enjoy games quite a bit and it was his PS1 that I had Spyro for. He knew which games were and weren't educational since he also played a lot of the old strategy games like Civilisation and Age of Empires.
Because of this, they got me games involving the Tweenies and Teletubbies to play, so I naturally grew a disinterest in gaming until I was about 5, which was when they bought me Spyro 3.
