I played the game in one go in my dark dorm room, cutting classes for a couple days. I’d become an art major, I thought. Give up on the CS class. No more phone books.
I ended up failing that CS class. And I did take a bunch of art classes. I learned C++ to make weird graphics stuff. And after bouncing back and forth between art and CS classes I ended up finishing college weirdly prepared to go work on video games, having a mixed bag of skills.
