Stuff that, back when you were in the economic clutches of your parents, you could but dream of having.

For me, there were several. The Dreamcast was the first, then the PS2, back in the early 2000s

More recently, I've been completely enthralled by the Amiga and what it offered back in the late 80s. That's a system that was never available around my parts (Brazil), even as a clone product or contraband

ColecoVision with their perfect-looking Donkey Kong, and later Neo-Geo with the same graphics on the very expensive home console as the arcade games.

Collecovision achieved what we all wanted when I was a kid, arcade games at home. When you compare donkey Kong on the Colleco to Pac Man on the 2600, it is night and day.
