For me that was the NES 1989. I think I just turned 8 or something.

The strangest shit happened. I got a NES from te states with like 10 games. Plugged it in and blew out the power plug cause where i was at the time used 240v and the states used 110v. I was 8... I was totally clueless.

My cool parents then got me a NES from the UK. But that couldn't play my games because of region locking. I think i almost died.Then my super cool parents got me 10 other games from the UK. Then someone gooked me up with another PCU for the NES and a step down transformer.

And there i was in gaming nirvana with two NES consoles and 20 games.I basically had all the best games there were to have. From double dragon(s), to ninja gaiden to metal gear(s).

Then in 1991 or so I got the super nintendo with contra 3. sigh.... I had a great childhood.
