I tend to be like that with games. We had a TRS-80 clone at school
called a Video Genie. Black & white with block graphics. There was a
simple space invaders type game and I was the first person to "clock"
the score. I had to walk away in the end because it was just too easy
for that 11 year old. 

I did have to cross my arms though, I liked to do left and right with
my left hand and fire with my right, so left hand on ZX and right on
Return. I don't know if I could even do that these days.
