I never get anything. Apparently some people think I'm too old for this kind of stuff. If I were to get anything, it would be money. If I asked for anything retro game-related, no one would know where to start.
What a maneuver!

Last Christmas I got a TurboExpress, and I'm hoping to get the new 7800 expansion module and a few 5200 homebrews this year. I usually don't get old stuff for Xmas, the last time I did before last year was when I got my first Genesis in 2001.

Thats awesome man. Last year my mom got me a CIB PC Engine Duo-R with 12 complete games. Definitely one of the coolest presents I've ever received. I also usually don't ask for any old retro games, but last year was an exception. Going with the modern stuff this year.

I have no idea. My mother is amazing. She knows next to nothing about video games but lo and behold she sent me a huge box last year. I was very curious and i rip that sucker open to find a Neo Geo AES in box with KOF 94,95,96. And a copy of PANZER DRAGOON SAGA! She is honestly the most amazing woman in my life haha.
