I will describe one I used to do several years ago. I also loved to play some games. But I had in the past a computer called MSX, very popular here in Brazil, and the game genre I liked the most was RPG. There was only one problem: the vast majority of the RPGs games which was being made for MSX was in japanese. So if I tell you that I finished several japanese RPGs games from MSX, with no understanding at all about japanese? I just developed some 6th sense about this, I remember being stuck in a game called Dragons Slayer VI, cause my character wouldnt pass through a doorway, then I thought: what if I unequip all my armours and weapons? I tryed it, and guess what? I did it. On that time, this kind of resolution served me as a kind of hobby.
