Christmas '95, I asked for money/gift certificates from whoever would be willing to do that (which did not include my parents). So I got a couple nice Genesis and SNES games, and a big stack of cash. A few days after Christmas, I headed to the local used game store, armed with my Christmas money, my own money I'd been saving, and my 8-bit consoles and games for trade-in, and walked out with a used Sega Saturn, memory cart, Panzer Dragoon, Fighting Vipers, Virtua Fighter 2, Virtua Cop with gun, Rayman, Gex, Solar Eclipse, Astal, Shinobi Legions, Bug!, Daytona USA, Thunderstrike 2, and Mystaria. I spent everything I had, and had a hell of a time thereafter.
