For me, it was always the video game systems. I didn't ever own Atari, like in the OP, but I got Colecovision one year with some games and several years later, it was Sega.

My folks couldn't really afford that sort of thing, but somehow they made it happen. The sacrifices! I could never appreciate them until adulthood.
