My thesis is that kids in days past would go to further lengths than kids nowadays to figure things out, mostly out of boredom. Middle class kids in the past also had access to "the sum of all human knowledge" through their public library and inter-library loans, but the barriers were higher than for kids growing up with the Internet. Nowadays, it seems like every kind of game imaginable is being implemented (albeit badly) by someone out there. Providing another anecdote doesn't invalidate my argument. Nor does it counter what you quoted there. Nope. Just sharing. Ok, fine, you win, I guess.
