One of my best Christmas gaming memories was back when my best friend and I both got Madden 2002 for N64. He was all excited about it and with cartridge in-hand, he ran up the snowy hill to my house so that we could play it against each other on Christmas Day.. When he arrived, we found out that we both had been gifted the same game by our parents. That meant we could play the game at each others house anytime. My time was 50/50 gaming and playing outside as a kid. I feel like now it’s 100% gaming for a lot of kids.
I hope you get that PS5!
My best memory comes from Christmas 2007.
That was when my dad gifted me a PSone (the small model). My family used to be pretty poor so we were always behind on games and technology, but getting that PS1 felt absolutely magical.
It was such a huge step up from the SNES I had. I'll never forget all the time I spent playing games on that little thing, it did me good for a number of years.
