The Christmas I recieved my first console, an NES, was a happy day indeed. I aquired it and a bunch of games from my cousin in Cali, who had recently upgraded to an SNES. I didn't care that it was an older, preowned system... I was 6, and it was
awesome. Bubble Bobble, SMB 2, Tetris, Zelda 1 and 2... I still consider it my favorite Christmas gift.
The best part, though, came a couple weeks later, when a package that had been assumed to have gotten lost in the mail arrived. A dozen more NES carts and the ZAPPER! I was positively elated. SMB/Duck Hunt... YES!
My parents then realized what made lil' Justin happy, and proceeded to make appropriate gift preperations for following holidays and birthdays. The novelty of getting a new system wore off after that, however, since it became the present I most expected.
Damn you, nostalgia.
How ya doing, buddy?
