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

When I was young I wanted one of these handheld pc's. I always thought it would be fun to play pc games on the go. Now I've got my steam deck and I really wish I could have had that then.

This was it for me too. This model of UX and the OQO model 02 were the coolest things I'd ever seen at the time (and kinda still to this day).
