What was the first game you bought and how did it make you feel?

Now think about the first time you had what you consider your own arcade (2 or more games, I guess) and how did you feel when you first turned them on all at the once?

I think for me the primary feeling was pride! I was so proud to own a video game (It was Tron). I travelled all the way up to Albany to pick it up (mostly complete) and once I finished getting all the needed parts from RGVAC and eBay, I was Psyched!

Eventually I had an arcade of about 14 games and turning them all on was amazing! The neon glow, the wall of marquees and flyers, the light from all of the games.... Once again, I felt pride and happiness as I created, no curated, the perfect arcade of all my memories.

What about you?
