Solar Jetman for the NES - love it!

Nice to see a fellow member of the Federation of Space Loonies I got it one xmas and its one of my all time classic NES games. Superb game.

Second place would be getting a SNES+ Street fighter 2. Ended up getting many great games like Mario Kart /F-zero/Zelda etc.

Sega Megadrive was mind-blowing when I unwrapped it.

Best ever was probably my first electric guitar. Gave me years of joy, that did, until life took over and I stopped playing. Now I suck.

Mine is a little odd but has to be a Digital Radio that an ex gave me a few years ago. Didn't ask for it, didn't expect it, didn't even really listen to the radio all that often. I use it so much now that I always bring it home for the holidays. The Ipod dock it has helps too.

I used to go fishing a lot in my early teens. Mainly on the Thames near Goring and mainly Pike fishing.

One year my parents bought me a little fishing boat. Would seat three of us so we could row up to the weirs and go fishing for pike.

I called it '*****' for a laugh.

It is still alive though I have not seen it for years. A friend of my dads uses it as his harbour boat in Cornwall so he can row out to his main boat which is wet moored.

My most memorable was getting a Sega Mega Drive with Sonic and Mega Games 1+2. Golden Axe and Street of Rage on one cartridge!! Epic!.

Also N64 with Goldeneye gave hours on fun.

My boyfriend took me to London last Christmas, paid for a stay in a hotel and took me to see Cirque Du Soleil at the Albert Hall - I've wanted to see Cirque du Soleil since I was a kid and missed out on the chance to see them at Disneyland in 1999 - that's been my favourite Christmas present so far.

gameboy with tetris.

 

[RichIbizaSport]

Got to be the limited edition N64 with Goldeneye. Hours upon hours of fun with the brothers. I still remember how excited we were when we saw this large "shared" present sat in the living room on Christmas morning.

A week snowboarding in Banff, though it was a work xmas bonus rather than present

 

[Van Hellseek]

Sega Megadrive with Sonic + Altered Beast.

All other xmas presents EVER can kindly GTFO -->

 

[anything I don't mind]

Remote controlled car from my uncle when i was about 11.

I once wanted a sega megadrive and i got a computer chess instead, probably the worst present that i have received.

My Megadrive came with The Lion King when I got it on Christmas Day. I assume it was on deal at the time, or the only bundle package the parents could find.
It rivals the Tomy AFX set for "most awesome gift", I'd say. The Lion King turned out to be quite an enjoyable platformer, as I remember...

Miss Santa for a whole hour with the wifes credit card..

 

[Maximum Triceratops]

Amstrad CPC464 with the colour monitor

 

[aceface57]

It has to be a Rayleigh mountain bike and a little trip computer as well. Loved that, being able to see how fast you were cycling as well as how far.

Tamiya Stadium Blitzer, awesome truck!
Either that or a 2.5m Flexifoil Bullet

 

[something daft already!!]

It would have been back in the 90's when I was a teenager. Just before Christmas 1998, my dad died suddenly. My Mum was very ill also and died just after that Christmas, less than a month apart. Spending the last few days with her and that Christmas was the best gift I could have, RIP mum and Dad I miss you both.
