Probably my SNES as i was under the impression my parents probably couldnt afford it so it was a bloody nice surprise when i opened it. So many great gaming hours spent on it over the years.

Also, got an awesome train set one year on a massive table with stations, bridges etc. Unfortunately after playing it to death on xmas day i didnt really look after it properly and it ended up gathering dust and pieces gradually breaking off.
Was too young to appreciate it fully really. The table is actually still in the shed minus all the track and stuff.

A Tracy Island, and fortunately not a Blue Peter-inspired homemade one.

probably a big ****-off big Lego Castle i got when i was about 8, it was truly awesome, and went brilliantly with my Robin Hood Tree

Yeah I think mine was a massive Lego fortress as well. One of the ones from the moon series with those cool fluorescent windows. Had a working lift as well. ****ing Iraqis destroyed it one of the times they ransacked our house though Bet they thought they were really cool attacking the little Lego men.

Megadrive 4 LIFE.

My parents could have wrapped it up and given it to my brother and I for twelve consecutive Christmasses, and it still would have been the best present we had each year.

I remember my dad was so good at pulling out a last minute awesome gift, one christmas he gave me some presents and was like "yeah i was short this year, so I only got you bits and bobs" and then after half a day he said "Oh I forgot, I got you some new trainers too, they're under your bed" and I looked and there was a Playstation under there :********)

Only thing was there was this whole stupid tug of love going on, and he made me keep it at his house, I only saw him once a month ffs

He actually went from pulling out duke presents and big efforts like that, to completely forgetting my birthday altogether. Kudos

I got World Peace in 1996 but I must have thrown away the instructions with the wrapping paper and so we could never get the damned thing to work.
