For fun: Best game-related Christmas present?

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!
