Best present ever: SNES when I was like 10 for xmas.

That's the one thing I would have loved to get as a kid and never did (well, an NES, not SNES). My parents absolutely refused, although I'd get computer games. I actually saved up for a long time to be able to afford a Sega Genesis.
Never receiving an NES wasn't a useful character-building experience in particular; it was the general atmosphere of denial that I think was healthy. When my parents told me "No," that was it, and there was no use being a brat about it. It seems like parents today are too quick to coddle their kids.
Sorry for the tangent.

My parents were the exact opposite of "coddling." My family was always very well off and yet I had half the toys all my friends had. I know you weren't speaking to me directly, but I felt the need to defend them [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
