Philip the Adventurer
Last December I got the Atari Classics 10-in-1 Joystick Game.
One of the games is Adventure, wherein you're the hero (okay, a big, blocky square) that has to get the chalice back to your palace (not the vessel with the pestle). Along the way there are keys to open your and two other castles that need to be found, dragons to be slain (after you find the sword (okay, a directional arrow)), and a maze to be navigated (the beginner level has one maze, the intermediate and expert levels have three mazes).
Long story short (TOO LATE!), Phil completed the beginner level by himself (or "my own self" as he likes to say) this morning.
Perhaps there's a career in professional competitive gaming in his future.
*10 bonus points if you can identify the two classic comedies to which I allude in this post.
