Re: Feature: Video Game Ghosts Of Christmas Past

ZeldaToThePast

I don't remember getting video games before Christmas 1997 with a N64 and Goldeneye 64. I pretty much rented the 64 before that through the year leading up to it.

My brother bought most consoles before that and I would play what he had. I do vaguely remember big ones like Super Mario World and Zelda Link to the Past, but don't believe those were given to me on Xmas.

Of course many things before that starting with a Atari 2600, NES, Gameboy and Game Gear all between that time. Genesis I believe was second. I don't really remember when I received all of them.

The one other console/add-on I do remember getting for a Xmas gift was the SEGA CD and about 10 games...after it had failed of course.
