Earliest Gaming Memories

Probably playing Super Mario Bros. on the NES and being too scared to get past the first Goomba. (I had to have been 4 or something.)

But eventually I overcame that obstacle and never actually beat the game until years later.

You're not alone in fear. I was spooked off of LoZ: Ocarina of Time the first time I rented it when I first encountered ReDeads in the Castle Town. Few years later I bought it and thought little of it.

EDIT: As we speak my Dad just found an XBox a friend gave him in his boxes and handed it over to me. Now the owner of an original XBox.
