Game related Christmas Story Thread

[Thunderlips]

Yes its December, here's a thread for your game related christmas memories. It might be the first game or console you recieved for Christmas or a game you played nonstop through boxing day.

One Christmas in the mid- 80's young Elrod21 had asked Santa for Xevious for NES. On an evening shortly before Christmas, Elrods parents went out for the evening. Elrod noticed one of the presents under the tree had a distinctive shape he had seen before. Would he actually peak just to make sure it was what he had asked for? Whats the harm in a small tear. Sure enough Xevious was the contents of the gift. Well......his parents were going to be gone a few hours....hmmmm...... He wouldn't!!!!!

Elrod opened the game, plugged it in, played it until he finished it and had it re-wrapped under the tree in time for mom and dads arrival. Watching him pretend to be excited opening it on Christmas morning was something I'll never forget.
