Christmas Excitement Back in the Day

Posted by Jeff Waldron  Published in Console Games

When I was a kid I remember always looking through the Sears Christmas “Wishbook” catalog, getting excited about what I wanted for Christmas. There’s a great post online with some scans of the video game section of a 1983 catalog. It really brings back the memories from when I was young. These really were the best times for video gaming! Thanks to “the Retroist” for such a great post!

Here’s the link: The Retroist Post – The Video Game Systems of the 1983 Sears Wishbook
