Wow, this is a super out of this world give away. Thank you for bringing this back plus more lots more. I really hope I win this ’cause I love playing video games. And I don’t have a console to play on. And I always love playing board games with my children when they were growing up. So I just wanna say from the bottom of my heart. Thank you again for this opportunity. Have a great holiday.
Favorite childhood game was Pitfall on Atari. Activision would give you a patch if you sent them a picture of getting a certain score. I got the score and took the picture, but it didn’t come out. No saves meant I had to do it all again. Alas, I never again got a high enough score. Still loved playing that game though.
My favorite childhood game was Risk. It was hard to get anyone to play with me since it took so long. I was thrilled when a computer version eventually came out so I could play by myself.
My favorite memory of gaming was playing Zelda: Ocarina of Time with my mother. She would read the players guide while I ran around collecting heart pieces. It would be fun to do the same with my son on the Switch.
That’s why we’re doing it now as opposed to the Springtime or next summer. We’re hoping this will bring some holiday cheer to a handful of people. Spread the word!
My favorite game when I was growing up was definitely Super Mario World. I must have beaten that game at least 30 times by the time Super Mario 64 came out.
The kids (and maybe us parents) would love a Nintendo Switch. I’ve been away from Nintendo for so long, but it will always be the first console I fell in love with as a kid.
My favorite childhoof would have to be Yu-Gi-Oh The Falsebound Kingdom. I spent so many hours as a kid just playing through the three canpaigns, killing everything with my dark magician team.
My unschooled 10 year old is a huge Overwatch fan, and bounces around between Xbox and PC and YouTube, going down rabbit holes and learning large! Nintendo Switch would make a wish come true that I couldn’t finance!
DO you want us to comment daily? I can list different childhood game each time! I absolutely LOVED Kingdom Hearts when I was much younger! (And maybe now too)
For video games, I used to absolutely love Frogger! And Qbert, too! As for board games, I used to love playing Aggravation & Trouble & Monopoly & a game called PayDay!
I never had any of the early Nintendo or Sega consoles. I went Pong, Atari, then leap to PlayStation. I need to find my Start at my parents’ house and see if I can get it to work.
Other games I like to play in my childhood. Where Checkers and Chinese Checkers. Thank you once again for this opportunity to enter this wonderful giveaway. It’s spectacular.
This is so cool! I had never heard about Engaged Family Gaming until now and I think it is awesome. I have two step children and it is a struggle to try to get the family together to play. Would be really sweet to win!
I love playing video games are played video games with my children when they were growing up. And I really miss it. Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity.
Wow, what a great giveaway! Thank you for having this, not only is the opportunity to win great, but it was posted on a facebook page I follow and now I am introduced to your page which I am very interested in.
Ooops, I didn’t read the rules right. here’s my proper response….. My favorite childhood game…inthe case of video games it would be the Atari 2600 Yars Revenge. I loved that game. Later on as a late teen early 20’s I got a TG-16/Turbo Duo and loved most of the games for those systems.
My favorite childhood game was Monopoly. I’m telling my age, but when my children came along we will played Mario together and tried to save the Princess! This would be awesome to have. Thanks!
I love this giveaway. And I can’t say thank you enough for the opportunity that you have given me. I’m so excited. Am keeping my fingers crossed. Happy holidays to you guys.
Today’s way back Wednesday brought to you by flashbacks of my mom, brother and I playing Spryo. That’s my first real memory of gaming. Now she plays it with my son.
Extreme excitement is mounting now inside me as we only have 4 days left to go. Biting nails fingers crossed. And praying all the way. This is truly an awesome giveaway. Can’t wait to share with my great grandchildren if I win. Good luck to all. And thank you for the awesome opportunity.
Played some more LEGO Batman 3 with my son tonight. Only two levels to go to finish the story. Then tons of extra content and well over 100 characters to unlock. Really fun game.
My favorite game as a kid was probably Clue or PayDay. I still play them with my kids today. For video games, we had an SNES and eventually an N64, I still remember the Christmas morning my brother unwrapped the N64. Our favorite game to play together was GoldenEye 007, and individually was definitely Ocarina of Time.
Ahhh, the nostalgia – I remember my favorite childhood game was Super Mario Bros, & I could only play it at my friend’s house since my brother & I weren’t allowed to have video games.

Help settle this family debate? is 5 too young for a switch? a 5 year old who is not new to video games, mind you…
Nope! Not too young at all!
