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

Only rich kids had a Neo Geo or Turbo Grfx-16.

We were far from rich.

We asked for a SNES and our parents got us a turbo Grfx-16 because it was cheaper. After we went to a game swapper shop and they had a bunch of the games for like 2 or 3 bucks a piece. Still to this day it's one of my favorite systems and it was dirt cheap.
