*This Close*
How many little kids in 1990 had a very bad Christmas because of this thing?
I think I'm a part of the first generation of journalists to skip print media entirely, and I've learned a lot these last few years at Forbes. My work has appeared on TVOvermind, IGN, and most importantly, a segment on The Colbert Report at one point.

Not me lol i was game boying
on a side note, my brother desperately wanted a gameboy when they first came out. however, he didnt pay too much attention to the name and when we had family over for thanksgiving (including my very catholic great grandma) and we were asked what we wanted for christmas, my brother shouted, very enthusiastically, that he wanted “nothing but a playboy!! all i want is a playboy!!”

haha I love it.
Oh god, I used to have one of these, kind of fun actually. Totally better fun than the real thing! No… I take that back… It was supposed to be Mario Land… IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MARIO LAND!
Nice one @ Playboy ^^

So this would have been a really crappy christmas! 😉
Just like the kids these days that get the Wii knock offs or guitar hero knock offs.
