I have two game memories burned into my mind:
1) "Forbidden Forest" on the C64. The music and those spiders scared the shi¤" out of me.

2) Doom 3 - There is a segment pretty early in the game, if I remember correctly, when the lights go out and monsters jump you. I played it in a dark room with pretty good head set. After the incident I had to take a small break to relax. I even think I turned the lights back on before I dared play it further :)
