Think back to when you were a kid, getting presents for whatever your family celebrated in December.

Name a gift you received that seemed boring and lousy when you opened it, but ended up becoming a major fave.

Mine would have to be this old Donkey Kong 3 handheld game. It was objectively neither boring nor lousy, but it was a terrible replacement for what I was really after that year: The then-new Nintendo Game Boy.

I considered it my sworn duty to avoid playing it out of petty spite, but once I cracked, I immediately fell in love. I couldn’t get over how that teensy little electronic game had its own controllers. Christmas was saved.
