Surprise, Kids Want Games For Christmas
In 1986, I got the original Pirates! for Christmas. It was smiles all round. In fact, I think 9 out of 10 things I asked for that year were C64 games. Twenty-two years on and little has changed, with a survey by Weekly Reader Research finding that 90% of kids aged between 8-17 want video games for Christmas. The most popular games were Guitar Hero: World Tour, Rock Band 2 and Mario Kart, while breaking down into gender-specific preferences, more boys are asking for Star Wars: Force Unleashed, while more girls are opting for DDR.

I used to LOVE getting Commodore 64 games.
And Atari 2600 games before that.

put clothes on their ungreatful backs and to keep a roof over their heads) whereas 20 years ago we were lucky and very happy with geting 1 game for Christmas that we may have asked for.We also appreciated our gifts ALOT more.
Yeah Totaly agree. I remember seeing a rich friends NES and was l like OMG have to have it OMG.
Asked for it and eventualy got it and felt so lucky and played the Hell outa that thing.
Never wanted anything else besides a computer.
But nowadays with ipods, laptops, computers, cell phones, epic video game consoles with Xbox live etc etc. There is so much to want.
I feel the same way now with my Wii since its cool and all but its not HD and it doesnt play the really sweet uber games now.
Thats the thing with technology it never ends, its an arms race.
Still love playing my original NES though
