    I don't remember Xmas in the 80s but remember Xmas in the 90s having a NES with Mega Man 2 and Double Dragon 2 :)

    I had an Amstraid 6128 remember playing games like Galaxica, Burning Rubber and Robo Cop, ah the memories,
    Having Sugar puffs for brekkie or Liga if I could find any.
    Does any one know why Sugar puffs make you pee smell like sugar puffs?

    We has a Mac too but it had a 6 and 1/2 inch floppy drive but no games, remember playing with Ms Paint though.

    Watching cool cartoons like He-Man and Thunder Cats and Mask.:D

    had an atari 2600 (arkenoid - spelled wrong but what a game)

    and had an amstrad 464 ..... details are a bit hazy but pretty sure some of the amstrad tapes were only given to local charity shop in the last year or two ....i spotted one of the joysticks for the arati in the garage.

    think we had an amstrad 6128 at one point.....aaahhh....the 80's ...we were spoilt as kids (im still my mums favourite)

    Being born almost exactly halfway through the 80's, the first few were spend soiling my pants and laughing. In the 90's, however, I had the Sega Master System 2 with Alex Kidd built in. Mega! My mate had the SNES with Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

    Recently, I bought a SNES from eBay but was in poxy condition so can't play it.

    Anyone else see those *new* Sega Megadrives on sale a couple of months ago? 15 games built in. I snapped one up straight away. Golden Axe, Bonza Bros, Columns. Brilliant. I've spent more time on that lately than on my XBox or Wii!
