Great topic.. One Christmas we got the Apple II+ with *2* disk drives.. it was amazing. My brother and I played multi-floppy games for years on that thing. He also managed to hook it up to a tv (the monitor was amber only) and we played color Pac-Man for FREE.. WOW! Then many moons later, we got the coveted commodore 128 (tho we only used it in 64 mode) and something called a modulator de-modulator that could transfer 300 bits per second over the telephone line (until someone picked up a phone on that line +++ NO CARRIER) Cheers! |

I always tried to wake up as early as I possibly could. So one Christmas I made my way downstairs at about 4am to find the most beautiful site.... a Sega Genesis under the Christmas tree. Hooked it up to the tv and played Lakers vs Celtics until the sun came up. Good memories. |

Two videogame Christmas presents stand out for me. I received an Odyssey^2 for Christmas 1981 (or maybe 1980) which unfortunately wasn't a surprise, as I found it several days earlier, hidden in my mom's closet. Then in 1984, I received a set of Coleco Super Action Controllers, which, while my mom was away on Christmas Eve, I took from underneath the tree, unwrapped and opened the box, hooked it up to my Colecovision and played for about an hour, before carefully re-wrapping and placing back underneath the tree. Good memories. |

Definitely the 2600 console - I got Asteroids, PacMan and Combat. PacMan really sucked, but I loved Asteroids, and Combat was great fun - it was cool that two people could play together at the same time. On a side note - wow, can you ever see the age difference here... |

Oh man, definitely getting Super Mario Bros. 3. I was 5, and it is still my favorite game of all time. Close second is getting my N64 years later. I think I was twelve then. I remember getting sweaty hands after playing for an hour or so and having to switch controllers. that is the only time that ever happened to me. I was truly convinced that I had the most powerful revolutionary game system of all time. |
