Off Topic What do you associate most with the 80's?

Not to mention sticky keys (and not the Tash variety)

 

Aye. They were proper games. Needed hand/ eye co-ordination and brains. Not like the senseless crap around today [although GTA V on the Playstation is amazing.]

 

Amiga 500 in the late 80's

 

I still have my Nintendo 8 Bit (along with all my other old consoles and handhelds much to the despair of the missus). The pads still have the sad depressed buttons from hammering track and field

Remember feeling like a computer expert when I doubled my Amiga from a half MB memory to a full 1 MB memory.

Also remember the first time ever using the Amiga and thinking I had broken it and/or the TY when I turned it off but the picture was still on the TV screen.

KIds today...

 

Moving to Antwerp for the first time and nearly killing myself on their beers near nightly for the next seven years...

 

I remember when i played Operation Wolf on the Atari ST. Christ, I thought it was the greatest moment ever

 

The way she slid that mouse down her throat was sublime.

 

My moment came with Elite on the BBC micro.

 

Also Radar Rat Race or Microprose Soccer on the C64. Speedball 2 on the Amigacomes clise too

 

Manic miner. Was ****in addicted to that ****.

 

I heard that the first four were all linked - does the term DIILF mean anything to you?

 

Closely followed by Jet Pac?

 

Or jet set willy?

 

I read the title of this thread, and the first thing that came to mind was leg warmers OMG the fashion memories, I doubt any of you had any hand knitted picture jumpers my favourite was one of a horse's head that had a 3-D mane honestly there are some cringeworthy fashion moments in my 80s history but honestly I would not have wanted to grow up in any other decade

Sticking with the computer games thing, what about Horace Goes Skiing

 

Brown/cream tefal kitchen appliances

 

Woolworths pick and mix.
Cola cubes and pineapple chunks.

 

The bitch Thatcher ripping the heart and soul out of the nation..

 

But on a more positive note...

Rose tinted glasses I think RAW...
