The original Gameboy, the brick one that came with Tetris. Thing still worked like new years later. I'd try to find it now but I'm pretty sure my parents threw it out when they moved. 

That I remember getting, A sega genesis with mortal kombat and sonic 2.

 

Also got a Mr Bucket, I used to like the commercial as a kid, hearing it now though...it seems filled with innuendo, or maybe I just have a tainted mind.

Anyone remember the first year your wives present was stolen from the trunk of your car?  I sure do....she would have loved that roomba.

I think the 1st present I remember getting was a remote control (on a cord not RC) Tractor Trailer truck that my cousin Lori promptly broke. Still have the damn thing at my parents house

 

It was a wonderful day in my household!

Original Nintendo. I was 5 and very very happy boy. Remember playing Mario a gazillion times.

I don't remember if this was the first because it was a long time ago but it's probably one of the first.
