For Christmas, this time 20 years ago.

[Sir Arthur]

So, for those of us that where around 20 years ago, what gaming goodies where you to get for Christmas 1989?

I myself where to get a lovely pair of 3D glasses for my Sega Master System with Maze Hunter 3D & Out Run 3D. Also on the cards where Shinobi & The Ninja, two games I was always pinching off my friends so my parents thought I might as well have them myself LOL.

I have no idea what I got last year, let alone 20 years ago!

Now that does sound like an age issue.

[Romulous]

Do you diarise your Christmas presents.

I would have issues remembering what i did last week, let alone last year.

IIRC i had dropped out of the gaming scene at that time, at least in the house, i was still playing in the Arcades.

[ShadowMan]

I've no idea what I got 20 years ago! The only gaming related Christmas presents I do remember getting was my Nes in the early 90's (91 I think?) and Shenmue in 2000.

[Doddsy]

Well it wasn't an Amiga Game because i got that machine in 1990. So thinking back.......

it must have been Hard Drivin for my Speccy +2. I remember it well now because the review in Sinclair User or Ace magazine said it was the perfect game to play on Christmas Day.

I had just turned one year old by December 25th 1989. The first Christmas I can remember was 1991.

[Skull Commander]

I could be wrong, but I THINK I got "Myth" for my C64...on cartridge!

It was my only cart game, and I remember putting it into the back of the machine and being amazed at the fast loading, and the brilliant speech. I loved that game at the time

Not at all mate, I just remember what I got, great memories I would say.

1988 was the Master system its self with Wonder Boy, Out Run & After Burner.
1987-86 was a good few Electron Games.
1985 was the Electron its self with Hopper, Boxer, Arcadian's, Chess & Business games.

Not sure, but I got my Amiga in Sept '87, so I probably got a memory expansion in 88 and in 89 it might have been my GVP Amiga Hard Drive.

That is so true

It must have been something for the Atari 520STFM (I know) as I had that machine back then. I think I may have upgraded to a double sided floppy disk drive for it.
Was the Mercenary double pack out at that time? If so I probably purchased this

1989. I was 8 and it was the last year that my Amstrad was my main machine and seeing as though I bought games every week I only asked for toys and videos for Christmas.

The next year I got my beautiful Game Boy. (R.I.P)

[Lorfarius]

I think 89 was the year I got a Spectrum +2 which included the gun and Bullseye game. As a bonus my parents gave me Ghostbusters as a teatime gift.

[BornToEnd]

I'm not 100% sure but it was the X-mas I turned five years of age.

So, it must have been the year we got a NES with Duck Hunt/Super Mario Bros. bundle.

I had no clue what-so-ever what it was. But oh my, once my dad had set it up that was it. Hooked, for the rest of my life.

Xmas 1989, the beginning of the end....

[Freestyler]

I think I got diarrhoea 20 years ago, Christmas.
Cook your turkeys properly guys. Trust me.
