As a present to the whole family, my brother got us an Atari Flashback 2, or game system that lopsidedly mimics the look of the classic Atari game system and contains like 20 of the old cartidge games.

Christmas day night we brought it to mr rampy's family's house and played it for hours, both our old favorites (I remain queen of Adventure, even remembering how to retrieve and use the "invisible dot" that lets you pass to a secret screen displaying the programmers' names) and ones we'd never heard of (Save Mary?).

As much fun as we had playing the thing (and complaining about its lack of our other favorite games, such as Superman and paddle games like Skiing) the best moment had to be when my dad said, deadpan, "I expected more out of this Xbox 360."
