So Sseth wasn't kidding when he said every Eastern European youth is required to master Heroes 3 to graduate grade school.

No, he was not. Here, you either master the game by the age of 10, or you get sent to the coal mines.

Our iron mines shift decided by the hot seat tournament. The only salvation is graduate from school.

absolutely everyone knew that game

Old gamers love to brag about how Nintendo saved the game industry in the 80s... exclusively in the USA for a small niche. Even without its participation Personal Computer and Arcade gaming were strong everybody else. Just because you had a NES or a SNES in your childhood, it doesn't mean there were not other forms for playing games on many other popular platforms (especially in Europe). IBM PC compatible included. If I were to thank Nintendo for anything it would be their backstabbing and abusive control that made Sony (and later Microsoft) enter to consoles.
