As for video games - a similar policy, but I went out and made enough money to buy a NES right before the N64 came out, then I sold my NES to buy a SNES and by this time my parents were fine with me having games as long as I didn't have anything else important to do. I then saved up and bought myself an N64 and my mom caved and actually bought me Goldeneye - TONS of hours spent every Christmas playing that for years to come ... mmm memories ...

But one Christmas I thought they had finally cracked--there was a big super nintendo sized package under the tree--I knew this was my year. Only, when I opened the package (the first one I went for) instead of a super nintendo, I found a speedo swimming backpack (for lugging all my nasty wet swim team stuff, NB: I hated swimming!). I couldn't conceal the disappointment. still don't think I've gotten over that (well apparently not since I am writing a post about it). My parents had a similar no video game policy.

My dad bought me a Super Nintendo the year it came out, but that was only because I was about to have a life-threatening surgery. Aw, I really liked this one.
