    Hey Everyone, :pac:Happy Christmas to all:pac:

    I just "came across" my Christmas present and did the honorable thing, took a sneak peek inside the wrapping paper. :pac:

    Carefully peeling it back, I saw a 7800 Atari box. I also saw, what must be like 20 games, the first two I saw were Pressure Cooker and Frost Bite, my favs from the 2600. Heard the car pulling up so had to hide the Parcel again:D

    This will add nicely to my already growing Retro collection. Me thinks that I will be up earlier than my Daughter Christmas morning, can’t wait...

    P.S It was wrapped with Space Invaders wrapping paper...how thoughtful :pac:

    Power tools & cleaning aids generally go down well with the other halfs :D

    I think if I did that that I'd be dismembered with the power tools and the cleaning aids would be used to dispose of my body.

    I might do that one year for the craic though. Wrap up a Virtual Boy or something and put her name on it :pac:

    Real gift on standby for when the punches are about to fly!

    Actually, my missus wanted, and got, wood carving chisels!
    And I secretly got her a fantastic Senseo coffee machine, and she is only after pointing one out in a mag today! I've cracked it this year!
