Sorry if posted, I searched!

Someone show this video to the guy whose daughter spoiled his XBox surprise. I think this is the reaction he was hoping for.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Got the NES with Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!, Super Mario Bros., Kung Fu, and 10-Yard Fight. I don't think I ate for 3 or 4 days after that.

Getting my Atari and Nintendos in the 70s and 80s were joys but if you want your heart warmed check this out.

remember getting my nintendo like it was yesterday. my cousins and I did nothing but play duck hunt and track and field for the next three days.

Didn't think it could get any better, then Sega Genesis came out.

My parents left my Nintendo in the fireplace. They said it must have fallen out of Santa's bag on his way up the chimney, but I could keep it. I sent them this video.

I got my NES that same Christmas. My mom told me not to ask my grandma for one because it was too expensive but I did anyway. My mom was so angry when I opened it but I didn't care. Took the arse whooping with a smile and spent the rest of the day playing Mario and Duck Hunt. That smug little dog used to make me lose my shite.

Lol. My grandma got me and my two brothers the Nintendo and my sister's makeup and mirrors. Needless to say my grandfather and my mom and my sisters and all Brothers always competed for who is going to play Duck Hunt or Jaws. My mother and grandfather won most of the time

My parents have a video of me reacting in similar fashion. That’s a great video now that I’m a parent.

It sucks being a kid today. The 80's and maybe the first three years of the 90's was the bomb for being a kid.
