I gave my sister the boxed atari, 2 sets of paddles, joysticks and 12 of the games we played as kids.

I predicted right, she cried. It was a kodak moment.

Then my nephew and I hooked it up and the three of us played Atari all day. When I left he hadn't even opened the PS2 games he got.

Still trying to decide what to give some of my friends back at college when I return. I'm leaning toward a copy of one of the Saint Seiya Famicom games .. assuming I can find one for a reasonable price.
