A for-fun topic: Just wondering what people's best memories are for Christmas gifts received as a kid related to video games. For me it wasn't a gift for me but for the family when we got our Atari VCS... Mom and Dad managed to also get us Asteroids and Space Invaders carts and I thought it was soooo cool... |

Intellivision. Best Christmas present I ever received. Like vidmouse, it was for the family but I played more than anyone. And it was better than Atari! :P Good question vidmouse. :) |

Money was always really tight at my house (single mother/only child household). Somewhere near the end of the snes life cycle (n64 and playstation were king), I got a snes bundled with super metroid. A friend and I stayed up late every night over christmas break to beat it. My best memory though.... a few years later, my mom found the man that would soon be my stepdad. He got me a dualshock playstation and metal gear solid. I honestly don't think I've EVER had a better christmas since then, and that was nearly 10 years ago. Video games and christmas go hand in hand. |

Well, when I was younger I was really excited when I got my Sega Master System. Everyone else had an NES so it was kind of unique. I remember getting Black Belt, Ghost House, and Teddy Boy with it. A few years ago my wife's parents bought us an XBOX with DOA 3 (for me) and Jedi Starfighter (for the kids). I was shocked because I was expected something really cheesy! And finally, 2 years ago my wife ordered my Quasicade arcade for me for Christmas. Probably my best present yet! ;) |

It would be close between two gifts I received. When the NES first came out (it was even more sold out than the WII), my Dad had a business trip to Conn. He came home with an NES for me and my 2 brothers...not a single unit for us...one each! That was awesome. Later in life, my wife (she really does not care too much for games) got me a Sega Genesis for our first Christmas together...she also tried to find a game that we would both enjoy. All-in-all...I would have to say the latter one wins...cuz it was from my baby! Xam |
