What classic gaming goodies did Santa bring YOU this year?

[icbrkr]

So I cheated - the wife and I open presents on Christmas eve. This year I got lotsa goodies from her:

For the Intellivision - Ladybug, River Raid, Defender, Thunder Castle and Diner. W00! That leaves me now with an extra Diner cart for trade. Also, she got me a "Running Man" coffee mug and Tshirt from Intellivisionlives.com

For the 7800 - Scrapyard Dog, Mat Mania and Midnight Mutants sealed :D

For the TG16 - A TG16 gamepad, a Quickshot joystick, and Final Lap Twin

For the PC/Mac - a new Sidewinder USB based gamepad.

What did you guys get this year?

We normally open all gifts on Xmas proper, but as "early" family gifts, I got Typing of the Dead for DC (with keyboard) and a Parker Brothers Bankshot Electronic Pool game (complete in box)! Also, the Mattel Electronics Football and Baseball re-releases!

Tommorrow, I'll be posting more, I'm sure. But these were nice little finds - especially since my folks are not "thrift-savvy" so I don't know where they founf the Bank SHot game.

[ROBOTRON]

Robotron 64 and Alien Crush -Psychosis(TG16)

Not classic but I also got KOF 2002 for the Neo-Geo Home Entertainment System.

[Atar1G1rl]

Can't complain... Found a Limited Edition Platinum GameCube under the tree this morning from Michael and his mom. Totally unexpected!!! How he managed to keep me from frinding out is pretty amazing! Plus three games: Pikmin, Pac-Man World 2, and Star Wars Rogue Leader Rogue Squadron II. (And even though it wasn't a game, my Tron 2 disc set DVDs are pretty damn cool, too... And the ET gift set DVDs and music disc...) :D

And, of course, my Shadowgate NES cart from autobotracing!

Michael got THPS4, Medal of Honor Frontline, and GTA Vice City for the PS2.

Having two gamers in the family definitely has some extra benefits- W00T!

[omnedon]

From the wife:
IntelliVision running man mug, shirt and poster (poster with man silhouette made of Intelly titles boxes!)

Very nice.

Oh.. and a Dremel! What's gaming about a Dremel? Wait till you see the awesome looking Saturn region mods I'm gonna do! :D

[Six Switch]

1000 Game Heroes (another coffee table gaming book)

I saw that at Borders but it was like $40.Is it worth it? :hmm: :/ @_@

[Queen Of The Felines]

I specifically told everyone that all I wanted were video games, new, old, used, cheap, expensive, it didn't matter. Mom asks me to give her a list of what I wanted, so I spent over an hour going through the sales flyers trying to figure out what I wanted. So what do I get? Clothes. Mom said "You don't need video games, you need clothes." :roll:

Um, thanks Mom, but if you honestly believe that I don't need video games then don't ask me to write you out a list! Gah!

Good thing I had a secret Santa. :)

4 shirts.... I can deal with the clothing and no cool toys from family but cmon people at least do an assortment.

I did however ditch the family dinner "To much dissapointment and bad feelings all around" I thrive on causing turmoil on the holidays.

Got to sit at home and play Counterstrike for about 7 hours.

Got hungry and ate half of one of those Hickory Farm sausages.


Bah Frickin Humbug.

[WiseSalesman]

As far a gaming goes, the well ran pretty dry this year.

Six Switch...

1000 Game Heroes is actually somewhat amateurishly done. The graphic design and presentation are top-notch, but the book is somewhat lacking in content. Rather than interesting notes about the games, what you mostly get are trilingual summaries and CG's of the characters. It makes a decent coffee table book, though.

Supercade is great and reccomended. Lots of interesting history and great presentation. I'd be very interested in a Supercade-style book from 1985-2000, if they made one (this one goes 71-84).

[Achika]

I *officially* got Steel Battilion today
Another S controller
DVD Playback Kit

PS One LCD screen

2x Wavebirds

NES games (secret santa)

Martian Successor Nadesico DVD Set
Card Captor Sakura DVD which I already had

[YoshiM]

From my wife I got an early gift earlier this month: my XBox (refurb w/standard controller) and TimeSplitters 2.

From the rest of the family/friends:

Bag of Cheetos and a $10 EB gift card (the Cheetos is an inside joke, as I was seemingly addicted to them for a while and then went cold, um, cheese puff).

2 long sleeve polo shirts (I actually need shirts, so this was okay)

A pair of warm gloves (I needed those too, I mean I live in Wisconsin and it is winter)

$100 in cash (going towards purchase of Apex 27" tonight)

A fold-out tool box with tools I don't own (I'm sorely lacking tools...not anymore!)

A gift box of various nuts

Jelly Belly variety sampler pack

Star Trek Nemesis and LOTR Two Towers movie posters (not the ones you buy in the store, the ACTUAL PROMO POSTERS from a theater)

So the only game related thing I got was the XBox, it was my Mom that got the classic gaming goodness: I gave her Klax, SMB/Duck Hunt (she didn't have it), Fester's Quest, Tetris, and Golf for her NES.

[Dire 51]

I got my first Sega Dreamcast system for Christmas!!

...strangely enough, from the person in the family that I don't get along with very well... :hmm:

[IGotTheDot]

I mentioned this in another string, but I am too excited not to mention it here.

I got Robotron 2084 and Mario Brothers arcade machines! :o

I have played Robotron so much the past few days that my shoulder is hurting. The Robotron is pretty much perfect and the Mario Brothers needs a little work. No side art and the monitor is a little jacked. These are my first arcade games so they are extra special.

Yay! I am going to go play Robotron right now.
