What was your 1st Arcade Experience?

[BLUEVOODU]

Thinking back... a long time ago or even more recent times... what was your 1st arcade Experience?

For me... it was awhile ago.  I cannot say it was my 1st experience, but it was the 1st and most profound experience.  I was on a trip with my parents and happened across a new Super Mario Bros arcade machine.  I was hooked.  From this point on, I was hooked to arcades.  I had played other games on older home consoles, and enjoyed them.  There was something about Super Mario Bros that just resonated and clicked well.

What about you?  Thoughts ... comments... Post it up!
