Oh my. I was about 11-12 years old in 1987, my father promised me a game for the Atari ST, we were in a computer store and the Dragon looked so cool on the cover so I chose the game without knowing what it was.
My parents played Shanghai for more than 10 years daily. Me not so much.
Edit: I repeated this kind of mistake a bit later by choosing "Knight Orc", a text adventure game with static pictures but with a cool cover. In english. Not the best choice when you start learning english in school when you're 10.
