The Sega CD Surprise of Christmas 1992 | A Reaction DISASTER - My Retro Life 
Игры
Hey guys! This video is all about the STRANGE reaction I had to getting a SEGA CD on Christmas Morning 1992. To this day I cannot understand why I reacted the way I did, but I hope it gives you a chuckle. Happy Holidays to each and every one of you. GAME ON!
Your videos are the absolute BEST thing on RUclips. So glad to see you cranking out new videos again. Your dad was the coolest. Will be contributing to your patreon.
Dude you look absolutely NOTHING like how you looked as a kid and preteen. I saw this thumbnail and was like who is that?
Are you sure you out didn't kill Tyler and pretending to be him. You don't look anything like yourself as a kid...what happened.
“Oh, markers, I need markers, Dad.”
Dad: 😶
my thoughts exactly
😂🤪
The fact you’re wearing a JVC shirt and one of the Sega CD models in Japan was the “X-eye” by JVC makes this video that much better lol
Haha so true! Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t thought about that but remember the X’Eye, specifically how much Dad wanted it and regretted never buying it at our local EB Games when it was discounted
@@MyRetroLife I had an X-eye, it was awesome. I also got it heavily discounted for like $50.
JVC never released the X'Eye in Japan, though.
They did release the Wondermega and Wondermega 2, but under their Victor brand since that is the company's name (Japan Victor Company) and they were able to legally use it for branding in their own home market.
The X'Eye is basically the Wondermega 2, though without the provision for wireless controllers (thank goodness for that, actually).
"hope it's not another CD ROM"
Zing!
Your dad was hilarious
He really was and that was a good one haha. Had to include it
I never did get the Sega CD but you know what I did have? The Sega Channel. I have to say convincing my mom to get me that for me for… a little over a year was one of the coolest childhood memories I have. And at the end of every month, I remember staying up until midnight to see what the next haul of games would be. I’d keep resetting the system waiting for them to push the update. Love the channel. Wish I had these kind of videos… but happy you are willing to share it with me.
I had the opposite reaction that Christmas. I had only asked for two things Christmas of 92: A stereo with a CD player OR, a Sega CD. I got both. Needless to say i was near tears when i discovered the Sega CD hidden behind the tree. it was only years later, I was told Dad detoured on his way home from Toronto to Bangor Maine to pick it up. We lived in Halifax. He was days late getting home, and I remember giving him hell for it. He just really wanted to get that console for us.
What a great retro gaming story. Thanks for sharing man
LOL this is awesome. I had a similar Sega CD "surprise." My parents had my model 1 wrapped under our tree for a few weeks before Christmas so I had the bright idea to sneak it to a friends house one night for a sleepover. We opened it, played it, and re-wrapped it and stuck it back under the tree the next morning. So Christmas morning was lackluster to say the least. I had to "fake" being excited.
This is the best right here 😂 Thanks for sharing
This is just amazing 😂😂
I think it was Christmas 1991 where I had asked for a Genesis all year. I eventually found it in my parent's closet at some point before Christmas.
So I had to act disappointed and sad when they let us open all the gifts and there was no Genesis. I knew they were about to reveal, "oh there's one last present!" and I had to do my best fake wet eyes look. Pretend to be disappointed knowing full well what was coming.
Then of course I had to act surprised as well.
I did the same with my Super Game Boy. I had to re shrinkwrap it too though, which involved stretching some plastic (saran wrap, maybe...) tightly over the front with a bunch of scotch tape on the back. On Christmas I acted soooo excited and ripped that shrinkwrap off soooooo fast...
I really regret doing that though. Felt so empty.
Omg me and my brother did this too! We basically beat Sewer Shark before before Christmas day, however unbeknownst to us, my parents knew we had been doing this because the following year we asked and got the Panasonic 3DO. This time, upon carefully unwrapping the 3DO box, eager to play our new system, our excitement immediately crashes when we find a phone book in place of the console. My parents had hidden the console and fooled us good! And since we were not supposed to open gifts till xmas, we couldn't question it, because it would mean we opened our gift early.
Parents...always a step ahead of us! Lol
It's such a shame that Sega got caught up with the FMV stuff so much with Sega CD. They could've really showed off it's additional power a lot more like Sonic CD displayed.
Go Gators. Jax in the house.
@@Gameboy-Unboxings full motion video
FMV was fun in it's own way though
If memory serves me correctly I got Street Fighter II, Super Ghouls N' Ghosts and a Chicago Bulls Starter Jacket that Christmas. I also recall being super excited because I had bought my best friend a copy of Dragon Warrior III for Christmas that year and with him being a huge RPG fan, I couldn't wait to see him open it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. ☺
Love this story. My cousins LOVED the Dragon Warrior games. had all four on NES.
I wanted Street Fighter 2 so bad back then. I had a Genesis. It wasn't available for another year on Sega Genesis. When it did finally come out on Genesis, it was $80. I never did get it.
In 92 I got the Genesis with Aladdin, Sonic 2, and Sonic Spinball. I basically said "WOWWWWW A SEGA GENESIS? CAN I.... CAN I PLAY IT?"
I had Epilepsy till I was 3 so I wasn't allowed to play video games, but a year without seizures they let me finally have a system at 4. I was a SEGA fanboy for life from then on. I don't think I was really aware of CD till later.
dude i wouldnt be able to concentrate in school with the amount of gold ive seen u get on your xmases. all id want to do is play games. loving ur channel. some of these episodes are really emotional man.
btw i was a turbografx cd kid and i was so envious of the kid down the street who got sega cd with sewer shark and night trap cuz i loved fmv games.
Tyler had an awesome childhood...i'm jealous...🥺
“Oh, markers!”
Sega Marketing people: “Uh oh”
I just would like to say that the love your father has/had for you is truly inspiring especially since I’m going to be a father soon! I honestly hope my child looks at me the way you did/still do when you talk about your father or in the home videos when your dad surprises with these amazing gifts. Keep up the good work I just recently found your channel and I’m hooked 😁(sorry for the loss and you have my deepest condolences)
Thank you for that Jacob. Really appreciate it
Every time I watch your videos I can’t help but to think how proud of you your dad would be and how cool he was to think to film these. Who would have thought while recording these years ago that so many people would get to enjoy them? It makes me want to preserve memories with my kids, so they can look back on them one day. Thank you for the videos and please keep them coming.
Love this comment. Thanks man and yes, more to come!
I love all these videos Tyler! Thank you for sharing your adorable history with us all
I'm always happy like a kid when you upload new videos just keep it up the best channel on RUclips.
Thank you, seriously!
Honestly who doesn’t need markers.
Markers > Sega CD
I guess you’ve been overly desensitized by consoles at this point. Lol. Absolutely hilarious reaction.
I was already older and graduated when the Sega cd came out,I didn't get it til the second gen came out,and my girlfriend who is my wife now bought it for me for Christmas,I played the heck out of sewer shark for hours and hours. Fast-forward a year or so I packed it up and gave it to my little brother with sonic cd cause he loves Sonic and he was all excited,I believe he still has it til this day
Love this story. Thanks for sharing!
@@MyRetroLife thank you for taking the time to read it and respond, I greatly appreciate it
My favorite console ever, FMV games are my favorite ever, wish they still made them, Bandersnatch From Black Mirror was like one tho so that's awesome
what are u talking about?
of course they are still being made
check out she see red on switch
they also remasterd Night Trap
That is what let the Sega CD down for me to be honest... rather than utilizing the extra hardware to make better games, like Final Fight CD, The Terminator, better arcade conversions etc... it was just a lot of FMV stuff, which I am not fond of. A wasted opportunity in my opinion.
Just seeing this for the first time exactly 1 year later. I got a Model 2 Sega CD Christmas of '93 and It was truly one of the best Christmas gifts I ever got. I got After Burner 3 with it, and a few days later picked up the Model 1 pack-ins Sol Feace and Sega Classics Arcade Collection used. Watching your video took me right back to my own experience and how lucky/rare it was to get a Sega CD at that time. Most people I know who got one got it years after the systems demise.
Your dad is so awesome for filming all of this!
I can't believe how many home videos your Dad filmed, especially when it comes to gaming. My mind is blown.
I remember that I had started my first year in college and I was working. I had saved up $500. I had asked every day at my local KB toy store when it would come in. The day that it came in, I waited around in the mall the whole day until it arrived. I blew my $500 on the SEGA CD Unit and two games. Sherlock Holmes and Time Gal. It was the coolest day ever. The Sega CD version of Final Fight is still the best version of that game till this day. Fun times with the Sega CD.
Just stumbled across this channel and I'm glad I did. Brings back such memories. Your dad obviously loved you a whole lot. Seems like a pretty cool dude. Thank you for sharing!
Just discovered your channel recently and I'm a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing all these memories you had, it's a joy to watch them all and takes me back to my childhood and growing up with videogames.
Welcome aboard! Seriously my pleasure to share these memories and thank you for watching, commenting
I keep saying it but your past with your parents and gaming reminds me so much of mines. Which is why I love this channel and instantly subscribed. It’s like I’m reliving my memories through you since I didn’t record them. Lol
In trying to remember what I got 92 Christmas I keep drawing a blank gaming wise. I was still on Genesis and NES with crazy amounts of awesome titles. I had a friend a street over who was similar to you. His dad though, was a huge PC gamer and he got things like the sega cd, snes, 32x etc. so I got to play them over there. Then I looked up gaming 1992, and remembered. For me it was all about the ARCADE! Games like street fighter and mortal kombat were huge in the social scene I was a preteen at the time outside boston hanging out at arcades and such constantly.
Funny episode, especially because the sega cd was such a sought after item nobody I knew had that at christmas that year. Honestly if you told me, I probably wouldn't have known it existed at the time.
I'm from latin america so I didn't quite understand what Tyler said when he saw the Sega CD. A CD for what? Just before the markers part.
I'm a big fan of these series. When the iretrogamer channel disappeared, the episodes that I wanted to see again were the Batman, Contra 3 and, especially, the Sega Saturn episode. I really like that message at the end "If you can't be yourself, then who are you?". That was awesome.
Another episodes that I hope we'll get to see again is the one where your aunt Michelle gave you a copy of SMB3, and there was another one in which you talked about the Game Gear, I think.
Thanks Tyler for all the great episodes. They're are very relatable and they bring back a lot of memories. Have a great December, guys! Can't wait for the next episode.
I got down to the SEGA and said "CD-ROM..." and then gave more enthusiasm for the Markers LOL. In case you didn't know, the older episodes are up on Pixel Game Squad and located in a playlist on this channel. The Super Mario 3 video you mention will be remade soon. Thanks for watching!
@@MyRetroLife Yes. RUclips recommended me those videos (the ones uploaded to Pixel Game Squad) a while back and I watched all of them.
I was very happy to see that you started uploading them again. It's ones of the best series on RUclips, seriously. Thanks for replying!
I would at least partially blame the lack of excitement on the original Sega CD box. Not very bright or attractive for a youngster to get excited over.
That's maybe part of it
That was my reaction to it as well. I got my Sega CD the Christmas it released (92') and while I was excited to get one...I almost didn't understand what I was getting. The Sega Genesis as an example had a picture of the Genesis, the console, a TV, 3-button controller, and Altered Beast emblazoned on the screen. The Snes had a picture of the console, Super Mario World, and two controllers. Both machines packaging had pictures of games on the back. The Sega CD's packaging was...maybe not abstract but far more subdued than any other machine or add-on during that time. If I remember right the Sega CD box had a few games on the back...I have to go back home and look.
They must of been some amazing Markers you were drawn too! This made me laugh out loud! 😂
Such unique videos and memories you share with us Tyler, cant thank you enough for that. Really brings back nostalgia of my own. My earliest gaming related memory is when i got my first ever console the Nintendo GameCube for my 8th birthday and it still warms my heart every time i think about it. It will forever be my favorite console and a big part of my childhood. Thanks again for sharing this with us man.
It’s a pleasure to share and thank YOU for watching!
The fact you were so grateful for markers was so adorable
Love the Lunar music in the background at the start of this!
Awesome memories man, your family is super awesome and I thank you for sharing this one of a kind footage!
I recall ordering one from a local mom and pop video game store in my hometown. It was in limited stock and after a month or so (for a reason I cannot recall) I canceled the order and I never ended up getting one. I really enjoy your videos and your dad was way ahead of his time. Thanks for sharing!
The good old days , today the kids just want digital games , its not the same as owning the physical copy but yes how time changes and I'm glad to be part of the old school era
This is such a good youtube channel, it really stirs memories in me. I'm a huge gamer and you seem just like me. Thanks for this!
Thanks for that! Glad you’re enjoying the memories and the retro
Watching you open presents and being so excited at getting Sega games took me back to childhood. Thank you so much for reminding me of those times.
My pleasure!
Keep up this channel. It’s amazing. You dad deserves props for all the footage and your parents seem like awesome people. This is great to watch!
Thank you! Will do! Dad really did provide a gift
Now thats something i would never expect, maybe you was still really sleepy. Your dad reaction was priceless!
Thanks for.sharing.
Seriously my pleasure. Thanks for watching
I was always super stoked about my Christmas presents. No matter what. Even if I knew what presents I was already getting for sure. I’ll never forget the Christmas of the year the first PlayStation came out. I was incredibly excited. I was already a young teenager by then but still. It was amazing.
Your dad was like thank God for cousin Ryan throwing him alittle bone in the reaction department 😂
Just say thank you bro! I never hear you say thanks! You really did have an awesome dad! ❤️
Haha I say thank you plenty of times throughout the series actually if you go back. I probably could have said it more this year though 😂 Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing all your memories and personal home videos your amazing father captured. It brings great memories back from my own childhood opening up amazing video game presents. My dad wasn't as into gaming but I think he and my mom always loved seeing the shock and excitement.
Thanks for watching man. Here's to awesome parents who supported our hobby. My Mom was like that. She tolerated a lot from us gamers
Strangely enough, this video encapsulates why the SEGA CD didn't get the sales Sega was looking for. It's not a stand alone console and the only people in the market for it have to own a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in order to use it. Sega accidentally competed against themselves. The Sega CD games were awesome to. It's a shame Sega didn't just go all in on the Sega Saturn port the SEGA CD games to Saturn, instead experimenting with the CD add-on and stop at the 32X, but that's all hindsight. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing!
[Edit]
6:39 WHOA! WAS THAT THE TURTLE VAN?! YOOOOOO!
Your videos are fantastic nostalgic trips, and also a charming glimpse into your childhood/adolesence. Keep it it up! 😊
Thanks man really glad you’re enjoying them
Tyler do a live on Christmas with your daughter it was cool seening a family of gamers on your birthday party's see i told u was he the man in red suit 🙏🏽👍🏽👊🏽
This is a great idea but I might not do it just to have that family time be special and not have the channel on my mind. Thanks for the suggestion though!
I got my SNES in Christmas of 1992!! It was packed with Super Mario World! I was so happy and excited, I wanted to leave my uncles house and get straight home to hook it up to play!! I was 6 years old then lol
Just discovered this video series/channel while binging Old Dragon quests games. I love your content
Thanks you Charlie, I'm glad to have ya as a viewer! More to come
What a good episode Tyler what are you gonna make next
Oh wow! I was always wondering if you'd make a video of the christmas of 1992 Sega CD, and asking you my idea! I was wondering did you get the idea when I was asking you a couple of months ago? :p btw the video is AWESOME it's how amazing I was expecting to be! Loved that you noticed the christmas stocking and markers but NOT THE SEGA CD LOL, I love that your dad bought the Sega CD when it was impossible and expensive to find! I love this video. AMAZING JOB TYLER! ;)
*hope you have an awesome christmas with your family and everyone too!*
I’m sure our conversation inspired me to rethink this Christmas and actually talk about it! Thanks for that man! Glad you enjoyed it
you're welcome, man!
Dang dahs major props man for reading off all ur patreons one by one slowly and clearly.... dat shows u really care
Dude thanks for all of your videos , and shoutout to “DAD” I aspire to have his exact attitude till the day I’m old
He would be amazed at how he's still inspiring people in 2020. Thanks for watching
Christmas of 92 I was 13 and finally got a Sega Genesis. I was through the roof with excitement. Then I looked at the one game my Dad had gotten for me.....Tommy Lasorda Baseball. I am not a sports guy and my Dad was still trying his best to turn me into one. I didn't let him see my disappointment, but I can remember sitting on the floor staring at the back of the Genesis box and wishing I had gotten an action game to go with it. However Dads friend then brought me over a huge box of his Genesis games to play and I was in pure heaven. Rambo 3, Ghostbusters, Golden Axe, I will never forget that Christmas.
Seriously love this story! Thanks for sharing
@@MyRetroLife I got more! I'll be back! LOL
just found your channel the other day. dude this is legit. keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do! Appreciate the comment
You had it good, my grandparents spoiled me too, but I did not have quite as much as you did. At age 7 I was introduced to Gameboy Color and Nintendo 64. I wish I could go back to the 90s.
You sound so much like your father!!!!!
I remember getting the Sega CD the Christmas that it came out. I was so excited about it. Then the next I was disappointed because it had already stopped working. But then the day after that my parents had returned it and brought home a brand new one.
I still remember when my dad got me pokemon platinum on my birthday. I was jumping up and down like I have just been given the greatest piece of knowledge of the world.
Way better reaction than when I got my da lite in the first place, might have something to do with giving me the console at 6 am, where I am still groggy and I dont even know what life is!
Brother, your life mirrors mine so much it's scary. While we were smack in the middle of the 16-bit wars...in my home we loved them both. We had a Sega Genesis/Sega CD and Snes the year they dropped (Gen-1989, Snes-1991, Sega CD-1992). Even though we played many Snes games our preference was always with Sega. Christmas for me was always a smorgasbord of gaming goodness that at times bordered on the ridiculous. What made it even more nuts was my parents were divorced but they always set aside their differences for me. For example, my mom got me the Sega CD Christmas of '92 and my dad took care of the games that year. What really sucked was my Sega CD was faulty and we had to ship it back to Sega for repairs. I didn't get my Sega CD back for almost 5 and a half weeks.
So sorry you had to wait so long for your SEGA CD to come back. Man was that ever a great system though...
@@MyRetroLife
Yes it was! I remember when I finally got to play it...the feeling that I really had something special. Given how positively rare it was to see one out in someone's home it felt like I was part of an exclusive club for diehard Sega fans. Yes, a lot of the games didn't always take advantage of the hardware but when they did...oh my God.
I just imagine your dad's expression after you said you needed markers to be that typical anime fall over dead thing lol
I got my SNES for Christmas in 92. Quality wise, maybe the best Christmas of my life.
me too. we partied the same way on the exact same day almost 30 years ago. What games did you get? Along with super mario w i got street fighter 2, castlevania 4 and final fight I think
I got A Link to the Past, Final Fantasy 2, Castlevania 4, Turtles in Time, and of course Super Mario World!
That was the year I finally got a Sega Genesis. My big brother bought it for me that year! My 14 year old brain was blown away, it was the beginning of the end for my TurboGrafx-16 unfortunately.
people who weren't kids in the early 90's era just couldn't understand the importance and impact of SEGA
I remember in 1987, if memory serves me correctly, getting the first Nintendo for Christmas along with super Mario brothers and the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game. I absolutely lost my mind. I was five years old in 1987. Then I remember Christmas of 1992 getting my first Sega along with the first Mortal Kombat and sonic the hedgehog game. I could be off by a year or two with my years but, I remember losing my mind over the Sega as well.
Waw Bro! Feel like i know you. I love that kind of souvenir. Your father seems like an awesome person ❤️🙏
Thanks Max!
😢loved your video it brings me bacc to my experience of getting a Sega CD on Xmas 1992 I was like 12 or 13 yrs old I loved playing sewer shark & dragons lair & a game called surgical strike & ground zero Texas & double switch & last but first sonic CD
Very cool video Tyler! Thanks so much!
Always great videos man! I think you got the coolest dad ever!
Thanks man. He was awesome no doubt
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful videos .
My pleasure to share them ❤️
Great video,thanks for sharing your memories with us
Glad you enjoyed it
Gotta love the esthetics of the gen 1 sega cd. The front loader just hits the right spot for me.
I will always prefer the front loader!
the top loader killed Sega
We got our NES’s on the same day!!! Thanks for sharing this!!!
Magical times!
Christmas of 1992 I was 16 and I got Ys Book 1+2 and Ys 3 for the TG-16 CD. I was so psyched because they were hard to find but my mom was like your dad, she always came through. I got to the end of Ys1 but rushed and was too under-leveled to beat Dark Fact, so I skipped to Ys 3 and about the time I beat Ys 3, I finally finished Ys1....and went on to 2. So I essentially beat them out of order. Still, my god....it was so memorable. I became a huge Ys fan that day. Of action RPGs in general, really.
This really makes me wonder who else was so ahead of the Retro curve who was, like, an adult. Like we kid loved video games, would beg our parents to get us games (with varying levels of success). But I have a really specific memory of BEGGING my mom for the Sega CD when I saw it at the Software Etc. I worked on her in that food court for, like, 2 hours. In the end, we walked out without the system. In truth, I’m glad I didn’t get my way because, while there were some solid games for the system, there is NO way I would have known what games to get. I would have likely been stuck with Sonic CD and a bunch of bs full motion video games.
My biggest surprises were, 1. My mom surprising me with some sweepstakes she entered me in, and We won Super Mario All Stars before it was released. And 2. My cousin surprising me by putting a mod chip in my ps1 and burning me any game I wanted lol. I wasn't wealthy so it worked.
What a cool cousin
Absolutely loving this channel. Keep up the great work
Much appreciated!
I love your channel it takes me back to a happier time in Xmas of 92 we got a super nintendo system in all honesty we didn't get it I got it being the oldest of my brother and sisters I hijacked that thing so quick and passed down the new to them
Thanks Anthony! Happy Holidays man
Dude your voice is so similar to your dad's, I'm glad that I found your proper channel!
Thanks Steve really appreciate it man. More to come
These videos are great its cool to see the time when these retro console were modern & before i was born
Glad you’re enjoying them
Well......your reaction kinda sums up the existence of the Sega CD🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Ok to be fair, my expectations were through the roof for the Sega CD......for months I had caught these glimpses of the Sega CD and some of the games like Sewer Shark, Night Trap, etc. so I saw all these cool looking screen shots of these digitized images, which at the time they was mind blowing, I was thinking "damn this looks like actual TV" and little did I know but these games would be more akin to watching a show on TV than playing an actual game😆.
I'm like you, over the next several years I did come to love the Sega CD, and it did have a handful of truly memorable games. This console is where I played the game that, to this day, is my favorite game of all time......The Secret of Monkey Island. That game literally changed my life and turned me forever on to point and click/adventure games. The one huge downside to the Sega CD is that hardly anybody else owned one so there was nobody I could trade games with for a few weeks. Blockbuster did have a small selection of Sega CD games, but since it was such a niche product, they only had 1 or 2 copies of the few games they had for the console so it was extremely hard to rent the more popular titles like Sonic CD.
To the day I still have my Sega CD hooked up in my gameroom/mancave and yes the Sega CD still works. I haven't played it in a while but after watching this video I feel the urge to fire it up and play some Eternal Champions Challenge From the Darkside.
I got the Sega CD for X-Mas of '94 and I've always loved it in spite of the controversies it got, and I notice the Sol-Feace muzak towards the end of the video. 😎
It's understandable, it was the first thing you saw in the morning, and you were obviously still sleepy. I know what you mean though, I often wish I could go back in time and change my tame reactions to some stuff my father was excited about.
For real man! Thanks for watching
@@MyRetroLife Your videos are awesome! Thanks for making and sharing them!
I think your reaction encapsulates the reason the Sega CD wasn't a commercial success.
For many years the only games I had for that thing were Sewer Shark, Sonic CD and Spider-man. Of course the collection has grown since then. I'm waiting for my Polymega pre-order to show up to play those games again.
I got a Super Nintendo at my grandparents house for Christmas 1992 and my grandparents got a Super Nintendo too!
Found this channel back recently after the iRetroGamer channel got dropped, always a pleasure to see this.
Thanks for rediscovering it man
@@MyRetroLife Yep, i am happy. Also posting your video's on my dutchwebsite too :)
@@RDJ134 Thanks! Link?
@@MyRetroLife Thats www.eigenwereld.nl (Dutch but most is video's so they speak for their self) Doing a bunch of pop-culture/nerd and geek stuff and more.
awesome episode tyler, i appreciate the content!
Wirehead was the best FMV (and funniest) ever made. That game was pure 90’s gold .
Willy Beamish was another fantastic game and was a unique point and click adventure that was actually ahead of its time in a lot of ways .
Obviously sonic cd and lunar silver star as well. Fantastic system
It’s a little interesting seeing someone’s dad who was clearly into gaming as well spend “adult money” on games like that because I swear every other gaming RUclipsr I watch mentions how back in those days videogames were insanely expensive and they had like 4-5 actual games and rented the rest 😂 Love how you got to enjoy so many games because your dad was essentially buying them for himself too haha
What a great memory i didnt get mine until 1993 when sonic cd was released
Man, those must've been some amazing markers to take away all the attention from a factory sealed Sega CD lol!
I wouldn't be born for another two years. So instead, I'll bring up how Christmas of 2000 when I got my Grape Purple Nintendo 64 at 6 years old is what made me the gamer I am today! I still have my original console and my original copy of Mario Kart 64, though the original controller is long gone!
Haha that’s awesome. I loved the different extreme 90s colors the N64 got! Also, they were MAGIC markers I guess 😉
My brother and I got one for Christmas 1993. It was an original Model 1 CD and it didn't work right out of the box LoL.
the next day our mom went to the mall and got it exchanged for the model 2 Sega CD and that was the one we played for years after.
My brother still has that Sega CD, but I just picked up n original model 1 CD and have restored it to working order :)
The model 2 was definitely sleeker but I loved the model 1 startup music! Thanks for sharing
i found the my retro life series right before and during getting my ps5. it really made getting a new console feel so much more special!
Awesome! Haha glad to hear that
Xmas 92.
I got Mario 3, ghostbuster 2 for the nes.
Great Xmas,spend the entire summer (here in Australia) playing mario 3.
Hell yeah a brand new episode! Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome!
@@MyRetroLife My first console was a Sega genesis back in 1998 lol 😂. I was surprised my mon didn’t get me a Nintendo 64. I reacted the same way I was oh okay but I think it’s because I wanted a N64 just like my cousin.
Christmas of 92 my Grandma got me a Sega Genesis with Sonic 2 system was the best thing ever!!!!
Love that game and have a great story to tell with it
I had a awesome Christmas 1992. It's the year I got a sega genesis with sonic 2, sports talk baseball, and global gladiators. It was my first console.
Sega Genesis may be my favorite console of all time if you include the Sega CD
To be honest, I'd probably have the same reaction. At a time when people were still using game cartridges, cassette tapes, and VHS tapes, CD's felt like a very new and expensive thing and I just associated them as "boring stuff for adults". LOL. I don't know why but that's how I thought back then.
Yeah I totally think the technology of it made it intimidating to me. Thanks for watching man
I love that Christmas of 89’ it’s everythjng Christmas should be! Well done to your dad 👏🏻
Thanks man! That was probably the most magical of Christmas’
