I was like that when I got my copy of SMB 3 for my NES, giddy as all hell. While I didn't have that kind of childhood (making up for it now when I find games I want for the old consoles), the excitement level in your face, and I knew you were genuinely excited for each and every game you ever received.
A feel good topic for sure, even though there is a tinge of sadness within it (my dad passed in 06, never could get him to play video games with me, but we watched a lot of sports events together).
