Board 8 > Merry Christmas, here's a Santa Wish List from 8-year-old Bane

(+) Yeah! (+)

Visiting my dad he decided to pull out a Christmas list I made way back when, in the year of our Lord 2000 and I was 8 years old. Thought it would be fun to share here.



In case it's too hard to read (my handwriting is STILL shit) it says:

Banjo Tooie
Rugrats in Paris Video Game
Mario Tennis
Pokemon Puzzle League
A Game Boy Color Clear Purple
Pokemon Silver
Hit Clips *NSync
Hey You Pikachu

A Pokemon boy through and through. Oh, added fun game: guess how many of these I actually ended up getting for Christmas.

8 year old me would have been asking for Mortal Kombat II and Sonic Spinball

cool guy games
---

Oh hey I too got Banjo Tooie when I was 8 for Christmas

Surprisingly played it before Kazooie! (And Majoras Mask before Ocarina)
---

Eight-year-old me...? I think that was the SNES Christmas so... Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Mana, Super Mario World, and Donkey Kong Country? Something like that.
---

You got everything, 8 year old Bane got the world!

Maybe
---

8 year old me got a rock.
---

8 year old me would've wanted Pokemon Emerald, FFX, Super Mario Sunshine and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Melee too I guess but I think I forgot to ask
---

i think i got FFMQ when i was 8. 1993 was such a shit year for gaming that i got a year old cheap game. my first RPG and i loved it though. probably got Mortal Kombat II then as well. can't remember what non-games i got at all.

but the best version of star control 2 came out in 1993!

Hey, we're the same age and I think I asked for most of these as well!

Edit: actually only the Pokemon stuff and gameboy now that I think about it

My handwriting is also bad, but those u's made me laugh
---

Us and as Look like 9s. probably still better than my current handwriting though

I believe I got my N64 for Christmas when I was eight (1998). I remember Diddy Kong Racing, F-Zero X, Snowboard Kids, and Banjo-Kazooie being my first games for the system. I think that my grandparents gave me Mario Kart 64 as well.
---

He probably asked, "hey, what do you want the most?" and you said "I want game boy with Pokemon" and he said "gotcha, but gameboy is expensive, so I can only get it to you with one game, so the rest of the list will have to wait for next year"
---

By the way I know I got Hey You Pikachu that year, but I think the rest were older games that I was still missing.
---

You got Hey You Pikachu didn't you. Or Banjo Tooie cuz it's at the top.
---

Alright now that I'm awake and sobered up, here is the final answer:

Banjo Tooie
A Game Boy Color Clear Purple
Pokemon Silver
Hit Clips *NSync

Thanks for playing, and yes the Hit Clips was very "play with it for like a day and then never again"
---

But not Hit Clips backstreet boys?
---

At that age I was basically just listening to whatever my sister listened to and she was more of a NSync fan. As I got older that's when I realized Backstreet Boys were better.
---

Even at 10 I knew Backstreet Boys were far superior.

Like, I legit still listen to them occasionally.
