Coolest Christmas present you ever got as a child.

My #12 Hakan Loob Home jersey. I wish I still had it.

Coleco Pac-Man:


And no, I seem to recall there was no way to play it in silent mode. Either that or I enjoyed driving my parents up the wall.

I can't believe I found this picture. There was one Christmas that my brother and I got all of the above. The pizza thrower was so win!

Sega Dreamcast!!! .....er, Genesis. With NHLPA '93. It was a very anti-social Christmas. Opened gifts and then spent the rest of the day in the basement with my cousin playing video game hockey. I think I should do that again this year.

Another memorable one was Snake Mountain pictured above. I still hear complaints from my Dad about trying putting that thing together on Christmas Eve =D. For those of you who had it, do you remember the POS microphone built into it?

Hard to pin it down.

This was the most fun, although I broke my leg trying to jump over a small river at the base of the hill. My brother only broke his arm the lucky . Many a fun after school prairie freezing winter nights were had on this thing.



What i thought was the best - only for the limited time bragging rights was 1 4-leg and 1 2-leg star wars walker. But after a few months its playability dropped to zero.

This was great at the time, but has become the gateway drug for my model train addiction. Trains and Such you convienient overpriced store.

Ghostbuster firehouse:



Crash test dummies car and the set that you crash through walls and stuff. I can't find a pic of that though.

Easily the Sega Genesis was by far my favourite as a kid. Putting Sonic on for the first time, omg. Then it got ripped from my hands for a few hours as I was screaming all the way to grandma and grandpas house for their Christmas get together Socks and t-shirts for the loss!
