I jus love his weird attitude. For people who say he's like the AVGN, he's not. He has own unique comedy in his vids.

Holy shit! Big same! I’m from South Jersey but my dad worked in Trenton and always got the Star Ledger; he saw the contest and cut it out for me. The gimmick was since you’ve mastered the NES, try to win their “next generation” system by answering NES trivia questions - the NES questions were therefore about facts from when you conquered certain games. I remember I had to guess on a few, too, like the question: at the end of Double Dragon when you rescue Marion, what side of the room was the plant on. (That game was hard as balls and I didn’t beat it until years later in college.) I later saw another promotion in the Courier Post for a free TurboGrafx game with proof of purchase, and I wrote them a letter saying I got the system but didn’t exactly purchase it. They must have been feeling generous so they still sent me a free game! Great memories.

It is great to see Pat's success over the years and we can't blame him at all for expanding his creativity into avenues other than the Punk. But in genre of playing a character who reviews games, this and a few of his other holiday videos are my favorite ones. Pat somehow was able to tap into that joy and happiness of being a kid at Christmas at that period of history and bringing it to life for us as adults, even if just for a few moments. Thanks buddy

About the jacket being adult size: You have to remember that we all loved to wear ridiculously over-sized jackets and sweaters and things back in 1989 and 1990 days. If they were early teens, like maybe 14 or so, they would be almost full grown anyway, so it's fully believable that the jacket would be that size.

This makes me happy. I've only seen the show once or twice and it's easily been AT LEAST a year since then. My brother got 'suckered in' by one of his friends and got a TurboGrafx-16. I loved it. There wasn't anything I didn't like about it except that no one I knew had one or had even heard of it. I had a SNES and Genesis at the time and my brother handed down the TG16 at my insistence instead of tossing it when moving out.

TurboGrafx 16 was an interesting system, a friend gave me hers back around 2003 .. I had it for a couple years, collected some games for it on ebay and then sold it. The hu-cards were cool and some of the games were nuts! so many sprites moving around on the screen at once it was insane! These days have I have a emulator on my mac that plays TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine roms. Hope you have Devil's Crush, a great pinball game!

Similar to your story, I also won a TurboGrafx-16 contest [Turbo Titans] off a Chicago Sun Times Sunday paper (August 19, 1990) by answering 5 NES related questions! But, this is the fun part: unlike your parents telling you a UPS package arrived, my mom intercepted it, wrapped it in gift wrap...and gave it to me on Christmas day! I knew something was off the moment I saw it as she never bought me any gifts THAT big! I was pretty pissed she did something so weird! But anyway, I caught up with you once on Facebook to share the story because I saw your post on the PCEngine-FX forums and I've been looking for info on these 1990 contests which were sponsored by NEC (and Data East given the Bloody Wolf pack-in). Too bad it's lost to time for us history buffs.

I remember my brother got his TurboGrafx 16 for Christmas and he played it all the time. It did last long until the console isn’t working by 1992 where he got the SNES and the Sega Genesis. TurboGrafx 16 was the world’s first 16-bit console before the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo which came out 2 years later in 1991.

Also, that Street Fighter II port blew my mind, un-fucking-real.

We used to have the console, but it’s not working anymore. The TurboGrafx 16 was released in 1989 by NEC and Hudson Soft, and it was the first and only 16-Bit console before the Sega Genesis came in. It has a decent library of games, and many of the games are not too bad for its time. This was also the same company that now makes digital cinema projectors which were used in movie theaters which were also made by NEC where it replaced the traditional 35mm movie projectors, the most expensive movie projectors ever exist and they were beasts.
