Looks like you're still learning to type, too 
Nah, seriously, I was the same way. When I was two or three, I sat at the computer finding games by going through the menus despite not being able to read the program names....
When I did start learning to read, the spelling of "Fairy" as "Faerie" in A Link To The Past completely fucked me up. Did that bother anyone else?

Yeah I always noticed they Special way they spelled that. Not sure how many of you were PC gamers growing up, but a lot of my time was also spent on the Command & Conquer Series back when Westwood made them and they kicked total ass. Doom 1 and 2 on the ol' 28K Modem and then the Glorious 56K yelling at mom not to answer the phone as they dialed over. Those adventure games consumed a lot of my time too, Kings Quest's, Full Throttle (I think thats why I even crack my knuckles today), Freddie Frontier, Secret of Monkey Island, and hell plenty of others I can't remember off the top of my head.

The game that scared me the most when I was young was Sinistar. I played it on my dad's computer. The first time I heard "BEWARE, I LIVE" "RUN, COWARD RUN" and that fucking roar, it was too much for me to handle. I ran outta the room and got my dad to exit out of the game for me. I don't remember the last time I played it, but I know it's been a while.
Also, I didn't have a Sega console growing up, but my friend did. The first time I heard that drowning music in Sonic, I started freaking out and had to turn the game off.

Elevator music in Metroid, well technically any music that wasn't Brinstars. I never got into Kraid's Lair when I had it for real on NES.

I know exactly what you mean. The low beeping noises sound like a burping, rumbling monster to the ears of a five year old.

I was 8 years old when I played Super Metroid for the first time. I remember I got to Wrecked Ship the very day I got the game... and it took me two or three days to actually summon the courage to venture thru. The game had me nervous from the start (I still remember how I shrieked when Ridley's glowing eye appeared out of nowhere in the space station, and later the "Crateria Raining" part felt very gloomy) but Wrecked Ship's music (or lack thereof), the Coverns and the dead bodies were too much.
The reward I got for my bravery was Phantoon. My dad still remembers I frantically called for him when those blue fires appeared.

 It's too late now because you haven't been PAYING ATTENTION.

This shit fucked me up in the exact same way. I never could get past that woman because she always made me run out of the room screaming. Everything about that game would creep me out, even the box art.

I never played Uninvited when I was young. The only game close enough was Deja Vu and then the GBC remake of Deja Vu and it's Sequel as the Ace Harding Files.

Thank god I'm not the only one. I still think that game is scarier than any of the Silent Hills, Resident Evils, and whatever else you want to throw into the current day "Horror" Field. F that game.

The cursed jewel always scared me; I had no idea that the jewel curses you and eventually kills you when you take it into your inventory, and when the game kept popping up messages saying that my life force was slowly being drained, I thought it was because of something I might've done in real life.
