Was that Christmas 1983? I remember getting a ColecoVision around that time. Donkey Kong was amazing. I also remember playing Qbert. ColecoVision was one of the first real arcade at home moments.

Yep, I got it Christmas 83'. I had Qbert too, and yes, it was a lovely machine, with some really great arcade ports. It was more powerful than even the Atari 5200, which released 2 years after the ColecoVision. That's one tech savvy leather company. :) I still have mine, 40+ games, and the Super Action Controllers, which was the best peripheral add on. I had the wheel and trackball too, but they were kinda useless because they weren't supported. Returned them both and got the 2 Super Actions.

Pokemon blue, Banjo Kazooie, Jet force Gemini, Yoshis Story and Super Mario 3D World (this one was a self present)

I was so happy when my brother unwrapped Banjo-Kazooie. ^^ |
N64 christmas's were always the best IMO
Mine's not really a game, but a console. I got the original PlayStation for Christmas 1998 with a handful of games (Crash Bandicoot, Porche Challenge, Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Tekken 3). Still probably my favourite ever gift.
On Christmas 2003, I got Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. I remember getting up at 3 or 4 in the morning to put it into the PS2. I never experienced R&C before, just from a preview and review on the Game Informer magazine. But I fell in love with it immediately.
Christmas 2009 was when I got Uncharted 2. I got the first one months before when a Babbage's store clerk suggested my brother and I to pick it up, also suggesting to keep a lookout on the second one. After seeing the reviews, I was super tempted to play it. It was a a truly game-changing experience for me back then, which is why it's on the top of my list even to this day.

What a great system. Sounds like you had a really nice set up. Our Christmas's were similar. 1982 was all about G.I. Joe, 83 ColecoVision, and 84 Transformers. I miss the 80's!
