Me too. I learned english "by force" by playing basically Monkey Island and Indiana Jones series. Funny thing is that I played them a lot in pair. I would go to a friend's house and we would play together, even if is essentially a one player game.

One that infuriated me was King's Quest, the one that you could type anything you want the character to do. Such a powerful potential, but I took days just to discover the term "pick up", to pick up a book, for example. My basic english didn't know that verb, I tried every variation of get, hold, put in pocket and stuff.
