I remember messing up my older brother's save of either dragon quest or ff and getting bitched out since it belonged to a friend of his. Also, getting lost in Norfair in Metroid a lot. I think I once sat down to watch my brother play all "pshh you think you can play this game? It's a labyrinth dude it's impossible" then leaving for a bit. When i came back, he was escaping tourian. I was pissed and amazed.
Getting upset that the dog in Duck Hunt was laughing at me and then trying to shoot him.

I remember when I was three or 4 my aunt and uncle had the nes with super mario bros and duckhunt. I was hooked after that and at christmas i got a sega genesis 16 bit with sonic one.
edit: actually i'm sure that my first experience was at an arcade or something.
Playing Galaga, Tetris, Dig-Dug, Pole Position, Pac-Man & Wizard of Wor in the arcades with my dad and older brother. Galaga was my first favorite game. This would have been the late 80's.
My first home gaming experience would be Super Mario Bros 1, Zelda and Metroid on the NES. Couldn't tell you which game first, but I really enjoyed them all. I liked how fast Mario played, loved the huge open world of Zelda, and thought Metroid had the best music ever for any game I had played at that point.
Gato, I've been fascinated by submarine simulators ever since. However nothing has ever come close to the thrill of finding the key for changing the mode of propulsion from diesel to electric. I swear I saw an enemy sub once, they never managed to catch me because my crew would commit mass suicide before getting attacked.
I suppose it was 85 or 86, I wasn't in school yet and it was before any experiences with Commodore64. My dad's office, Intel 286 @ 6 MHz, calendars with boobs.

Either playing Wheel of Fortune in DOS(?) on my cousin's computer or Duck Hunt on the NES.
