Traumatizing Videogame experience?

This sounds very stupid, but the sharks in Ecco scared the holy shit out of me when I was younger. When I was about nine or so, I was playing Ecco and had reached a level called "Ridge Water" (or something like that). Up until that point in the game, the sharks were docile. Well, I was swimming along in the water and BAM, a shark came out of nowhere with its nasty mouth wide open and tried to eat my dolphin! For some reason, that scared me very badly. I immediately shut the game off, ran into my parents room crying, changed my underwear, and didn't play it again for a couple of years.

That one experience has given me an irrational fear of all underwater levels in games. For example, going underwater in the submarine in FFVII scares me for no reason at all.

RE2 also got to me pretty badly back in the day. The first time that I got a taste of it was when my older cousin brought the game over and played it in my room all night long. Since I didn't want to seem like a wimp to my older cousin, I stuck it out and watched him play. That game gave me nightmares for a while.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
