Remember back a few years, did anyone ever get a system for Christmas?
I dont think i ever did, but how cool would it have been to have unwrapped a present to reveal a Sega Master System! or a NES!! |

I got a handheld game called Galaxy Invader 1000, and an Atari 2600.
Other than that, my brother bought a CBS Colecovision once he started working, my mum bought me a 2nd hand C64 because we were too poor to get a new one, and i bought an Amiga 500 out of my own pocket when i left school. |

Which can only mean one thing! The C2N (datasette) has been replaced as the worlds most prefered footrest/doorstop/paperweight and similar
But I still wouldnt mind one as there are one or two worthwhile games to be found on it.Im hoping the XBOX360 takes off which brings me back to my dream of getting one given to me(I wouldnt actually part with cash for one)
