| 3564 | Article | mickyarber | I had a very similar experience (without the divorce) when I got my Super Nintendo for Christmas one year. I begged for it for months, and on Christmas morning, I opened an SNES game first. My parents played it off, saying it was a mistake and it was for my brother. (He already had and SNES since he was working). But at the end of the morning, there was the SNES in the last package. I seem to recall having a very similar, if not the exact same, remote controlled fighter jet once upon a time too. But good read, and you really triggered some old memories for me. | Dec 12, 2016 |  | |
| 3566 | Article | vkimo | Thanks for sharing. It's very poignant how video games help kids find refuge at times. Ever since the mid 80s the quintessential game console has taken the number on spot on most boys wishlists. I feel the magic is gone on todays consoles. I remember getting a Xbox 360 and spending 20 minutes to set up a profile and download the latest firmware, kind of killed the excitement | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3567 | Article | Vaporman87 | @vkimo: You said it, brother. All the rigamaro involved in setting up a console these days just sucks the fun out of it. | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3569 | Article | NLogan | When I won a X-Box 360 and gave it to my boys I opened it and created profiles and downloaded games like the week before so that it was ready to roll Christmas morning. That F-14 looks sweet. I had WWII fighter that was gas powered but flew in a circle on a hand held line. I never did get a Genesis but I loved me some Altered Beast in the arcade and secretly wanted one but the Nintendo dominated in my house. | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3575 | Article | Hoju Koolander | You're video game stories are always the best. This doesn't beat your Nintendo story for strange acquisitions (no prisoners had a Genesis to sell this year, huh?) But it definitely wins for best emotional roller coaster and happy ending. Like so many of us here, I can relate on the divorced parents at holidays deal, but luckily my Mom's boyfriend's grandson was a cool kid and became one of my best friends, which helped smooth over the weirdness. | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 13, 2016 | |

| 3648 | Article | Superman | Nice article. I remember the Christmas that I received my first video game console fondly. It was a Super Nintendo, and the fun I had playing it set me on the path to being the Nintendo fan that I am today. | A Very Sega Christmas | Jan 01, 2017 | |
| 3581 | Article | Vaporman87 | This story of your father helping others during Christmastime reminds me of the stories I've heard of my Grandfather and how he helped others without ever saying anything about it. That's what the Christmas Spirit is really all about. The giving. Especially to those who are struggling and just hoping to make it through another Christmas with food on the table. Thanks for sharing these memories Mickey. They will do us all a lot of good this Christmas. | 1986: The Year That Santa Became Real | Dec 15, 2016 | |
