We all remember that Christmas we received a Nintendo 64. Best Christmas eva.

No problem ;)

What did I just see???

N64 was really ones of the best times ever.
I remember picking up Zelda OoT and just having yime to see the intro before i went out. Awesome!
NES and N64 were the two consoles i played the most with my brothers: turok 2, Diddy Kong Racing, Perfect Dark... really good times! :)

I remember when I got a PSone for Christmas in 98. My parents had vowed never to buy us a gaming console and then there's this huge box and they said we had to save it for last and open it all together (my brother, sister, and me). We get to it and freak out and are running around hugging our parents and waving our hands in the air, then we go in the other room and find 5 or 6 games waiting on the TV including Spyro, Crash 3, and Gran Turismo. Best freaking Christmas ever!

The N64 it's the best birthday present I've had.

So much memories. ;)

N64 was the first console I bought with my own money.

To me, those magical times were the SNES. After begging for it since April 1992, I tried to save my pocket money for most of the year (hard to do with like $5 per week). I even left the money I earned under the tree to see if it would be enough. Santa gave us the SNES and left the money, and said to spend it on games, so I got Mario Kart the following week. Happy times...

first console ever too so it was just amplified.  I haven't been able to top it and probably never will top the surprise since I normally know what I'm getting nowadays.

I gotta say, it's a shame that we went from times where recieving a new gaming hardware on christmas was one of the best moments of our childhoods....to times where parents prank their own children by giving them fake Wiis, PS3s, 360s etc.
And yet we laugh at it. Yeah, I guess that parents give them the real thing either way off camera, but still...
What the hell happened?
