9 Obsolete Computers Ads

Home computers really took off in the 80s and people would pay big bucks for these marvels such as 16K RAM cards and computers that could display COLOR! Of course business users had to lay out even more such as $12 000 for an 80MB hard drive.

The two brothers have been active since 1970 as composers, artists, producers and publishers. Under the name DD Sound they were among the main producers of Italian disco music of the seventies.

You’re The Best

This song dig deep in to 80s psychology and what it is like to be the best, basically nothing is ever gonna keep you down just like the Karate Kid. Say for example it is 1984 and you are an Italian kid from Jersey with kick ass martial arts skills who is tired of being pushed around. This song explains what its like to be a simple kid like him who takes on his enemies at the local martial arts championships and gives them some Mr Miagi up their ass. Check out this inspiring video and then go do some laps. I really identified with this song from Joe Esposito because Im the best!

80s Board Game – Go For It!

80s executive board game
This forgotten board game sums up 80s Western culture in single image. You’ve got airbrushed silk workout shorts, leg warmers, sweatbands, suburban mansions, wind surfing, solid gold singing, Ferrari driving, tennis playing, executives behind the desk, lush green lawns, and a little bit of Europe just to make things feel a little international. For me this evokes Wimbledon, John McEnroe, Olivia Newton-John getting physical, the Surfing fashion craze, Princess Dianna, hardly working at the office, Magnum P.I., and Life Styles of the Rich and Famous all rolled up into one awesome piece of cover art.
