Does not matter if you were 10 or 50 what was your favorite gift?

Mine was when I was about 8 years old, we were into snowmobiling and my dad bought me a Mini Snowmobile..it was from Artic Cat, called a Kitty Kat. I was the star of the neighborhood.

Kids these days dont how bad the graphics were on a atari or how pathetic the joystick was.
Every kid should have to play "combat" one time on atari 2600 to see how primitive their parents had it.
I had over 100 atari games,would get half a dozen every christmas.Played the hell out of them.Went thru 3 or 4 systems.Spent probaby 3,000 hours playing these games.Dug a system out of attic few years ago and everygame I used to play now sux.Except fpr maybe RiverRaid.

Pitfall was awesome... graphics were state-of-the-art too. It really pushed the Atari to its limits. :lol:

Seriously though, it looked a 100 times better than crap like E.T.

Warlords is still the ultimate 4-drunken-player game:

warlords.png


This paddle-controlled game is absolutely phenomenal with four players - perhaps the best multi-player video game of all time! The screen is arranged with an oddly-shaped "knight" in each corner, protected by a layered brick wall and a shield that moves around the perimeter. A "fireball" caroms around the screen, knocking chunks out of the walls. Players can either catch or deflect the fireball with their moving shields, and caught fireballs can be redirected and hurled with great force. As the walls weaken and holes appear, the action becomes more intense. The last knight remaining wins the round, and the first player to win five rounds is the victor. Warlords is far more than the sum of its parts. Alliances form dynamically to prevent any player from getting too far ahead, and at least when it comes to my friends, the trash talking never stops. Even when a player is eliminated from a round, he can still affect the outcome. By positioning his "ghost" shield, he can still deflect the ball and expose new angles for the remaining players. As far as I know, the whole "ghost" thing may just be a bug in the game, but it really adds a new dimension. Although Warlords has 23 variations, only games 1 and 2 are outstanding. Idiotic computer-controlled players take the fun out of the one and two player contests, usually doing more damage to themselves than anyone else! The graphics are pretty modest, but those who've experienced Warlord's four-player action know this game is numero uno when it comes to multi-player mayhem.
Recommended variation: 1
1 to 4 players

Sega Genesis here.

Played streets of rage all Xmas morning, and I remember thinking that finally now I was playing a game at home that looked just as good as the arcade ones, and that graphics really could get much better than this...

Now arcades are dead, and graphics even trump gameplay and fun as far as importance in most modern games goes.
