You be correct about that. All of that was great especially the 1950s Woolworth & one from FOX & MGM :scbat:

Okay, continuing the Sega Genesis vs. SNES Christmas War, I'm going to show some great moments for these kids Christmas in the early 90s :scbat:

It's that they filmed this and posted it on YT...the kids were really excited

Both of these are from 1993 :shock:

Now here's video #1 from this family thru the years. Watch as he unwraps Super Mario Bros. 2 which is still arguably My fave SMB game. It's cute how he talks about ToeJam & Earl. This is their 8-Bit & 16-Bit Christmas :scmm:

Now here's video #2 as their Christmas is from 91 - 95. Watch as he's so excited for Ultraman, Mario Paint, Empire Strikes Back, Clay Fighter, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, TMNT: Tournament Fighters, Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World 2 & more. SMW2 is yet another that is arguably My fave SMB game. Watch how excited the kids were here

My wife post stuff on Facebook but I don't know if I would ever post my kids on Youtube like that.

That's good. People show their kids like that but sometimes the kids show themselves as well. I know a but boy-o-boy does these videos show their joy when things were really exciting back then, I mean after the Video Game Console Wars ended in the 90s & early 2000s when Sega went out, we had Nintendo & Playstation at the new Xbox and even though were great years even now, it pales in comparison to back then...it reminds of the Monday Night Wars :schal:

Great clips there.

Okay, here's a three-parter coming at ya starting with this :scbat:

I never watched the old b&w kids shows much but I always liked Dennis the Menace over things like Leave it to Beaver.

Great clips there. I sure recall that X-Files episode like it was yesterday. That was from S06-E06 on December 13, 1998. It was called " How the Ghosts Stole Christmas". It was a good one. I was like what did you get her Mulder :batwink:

Then oh boy, what did you get him Scully :wwwink:

Well, the episode ended and we never knew :smsmh:

The Season in 98 was great as it just came off from the excellent movie which the film is one of the best films IMO. There was nothing like watching The X-Files back then in the 90s :blaq:

I see, well here's this second Dennis the Menace :scww:

I don't think they were really riding at the end there, lol.

Those were great videos. Yeah, games and stuff seemed really expensive then and they still do however, if your a constant player at places and forkin' out dollars everyday or so, that money is going to add up so having the pinballs & systems at home is really a better deal IMO because those arcades aren't gonna be at the stores for long while your home games will be for years to come then again, it is very fun playing aracdes no matter where they are :scbat:
