Then it'll get like one of those Star Trek episodes where everyone starts having sudden flashbacks of stuff and they find out they were abducted. I would like to be scared shitless but not in any sense that I'm unsure about what happened while I was asleep last night.

You would not. You would have no memory whatsoever of ever having played the game.

...of course, that's assuming even a hypnotist would have the power to do that.
I highly doubt a hypnotist would have that kind of power at all--no one can just snap your fingers and make you forget like that. The only things I can see that would make you forget are the following:
1.) Getting hit in the back of the head hard/repeatedly.
2.) Coming down with a condition that, in some fashion, deteriorates brain function (i.e. Alzheimers)
3.) Having so much stress/trauma associated with that kind of memory that you end up actually suppressing it. And I mean a LOT of stress--like, you'd have to be close to completely losing your sanity. A hypnotist, at this stage, might be able to help you forget. Not to mention that it would be...odd if you really encountered such high levels of stress over a video game.
There could be others I'm not thinking of at the moment though.

I'm a hypnotist, and I've got no trouble making anyone forget, lol.

Hey, if he can erase the Periodic Table from your memory in seconds, he could probably do wonders to get rid of the game too.

Now seriously. Why should you want to forget your game experience? If you don't remember how did you played the game then you can't remember your experience. So playing the game is pointless when you don't remember nothing from it. Or am I missing something?

It's so we can have the joy of playing it again. Playing the games obviously was the high point of our lives and we just can't go on knowing nothing will live up to it.
