That time of year when parents have to invest in the newest hot toy for Christmas is at hand. Too bad not many of these Best Toys of All Time are still hot.
From classic scooters and teddy bears to Furbies and Cabbage Patch Kids, this Good Housekeeping list documents the hottest of hot toys that were hot in their day. And unlike People Magazine’s 80s special, they’ve gone and given Nintendo and Sega their rightful props as hot toys.
While I can’t name anybody who’d be glad to get a jar of Play-Doh this year, I can think of a lot of people who would be thrilled to see a Sega Dreamcast or an original Nintendo Entertainment System under their X-mas tree this year. Sadly, none of them are kids.
What classic entertainment system would you want under your tree this year?

I personally think Megadrive/Genesis is a better toy than Dreamcast. The article also failed to mention something like Skateboard, Roller Blade, Rubic Cube, Snake and Ladder… etc
