twice here - I remember having to feign surprise upon receiving a Sinclair
ZX Spectrum +3 one year, and then a Sega Megadrive (I think the very next
year), after finding them both prior to Christmas ... and also opening up
the Megadrive and having a shot of Altered Beast too!  God, the adrenaline
rush of playing with your xmas pressies before you're supposed to!  I felt
totally totally guilty on Christmas Day tho!  Deservedly!

I think that doing that twice in a row kinda killed the incentive to go
hunting in consecutive years ... :)
