I got to thinking about the gifts I got as a kid for Christmas and was able to find some photos of a very rare gift that I found under the tree in the 70's.

If you listen at all to The Q Morning Show, this will show you just how long I have had a passion for this.

It was the mid 70's and I was only 5 or 6, but had been playing pinball ever since I could stand on a chair to see the flippers. Now I had my very own at home.

Pinball Champ was a simple game made by Coleco, but it had bells and a score reel that would tick 1000 points every time you hit one of the 10 pop bumpers or lanes. I loved it!

I haven't found any video of the game, but I did find the commercial for The Fonz pinball by Coleco that is the exact same game but themed with The Fonz from Happy Days.

Man I still wish I had this today. What's the best gift you got as a kid for Christmas? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook.
