what are some retro games u are picking up for xmas? SF2 turbo , legend of zelda -a link to the past
I'm planning on getting a PS3, (Doesn't count at all) a Dreamcast (Doesn't REALLY count) and...A COLECOVISION! Yeah, this bad boy was VERY powerful for its time and had hardware pretty much identical to the Sega SG-1000 (Only in Japan/Europe) and Microsoft MSX. (Only in Japan/Europe) It had a huge controller with a joy stick disc, two fire buttons on the sides, and a full keypad. The systems were HUGE and bulky, but the biggest attraction might be the Expansion Module #1 (Others included a driving controller, a trak ball controller, and an Adam Computer connector) which lets you play Atari 2600 Games on it!!! The system is about 150 bucks in good condition on eBay and the Expansion Module adds on about 20. I would get a Atari 7800 if it weren't for this (It can play Atari 2600 games too, but in my opinion it's library isn't as good) and an Atari 2600 before that, but the commercials were right, this IS the ONLY game system you'll EVER NEED!
The Atari 2600's library needs no introduction, but the Colecovison had many PHENOMENAL Arcade ports that some consider to be better than the Arcade, and fantastic original titles as well. Games like Burgertime, Pepper II, Frenzy, Lady Bug, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong JR, Popeye, and SO MUCH MORE are simply TIMELESS.

That's why people call it xmas or 'crimbo' - so they don't have to use the word Christ or make any reference to what the holiday is supposed to represent. They could mean "with money I hope to get from others for chrsitmas" but that's not exactly clear.I think you misunderstand CHRISTmas my friend. It's about buying or giving things others, not yourself. :)
