One thing you would save from the 80's

If you could preserve one thing from the 1980's what would it be?

I'd save rubics cubes! No better puzzle has been invented in my view since then!

I'd save the DeLorean,even though car wise it was a bucket of sh*t..it still had the power to go Back to the Future.

The advent of the domestic personal computer? Sure your C64, Amstrads and Spectrums were slow and pretty useless but the games were fun and led us towards all sorts of modern entertainments.

my summers in my Grannies, actually no, I'd save the dolerean too then I could go back in time and go to my Grannies anyway. :rolleyes:

Thought about this for all of 10 nanoseconds, and even though the 80's were 'my' decade, the whole period sucked, economically and musically.

Growing up in Dublin in the 80's was grim.

The only redeeming thing about the 80's was the birth of Alternate Comedy (The Young Ones, The Comic Strip, etc).

Oh Chrisht! I probably wasted years of my young life waiting for things like Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy to load.

Ha ha, me too with Ghosts and Goblins, Booty, ChopLifter, PitfallII, Platoon and Last Ninja 2 on the C64.

Yep, I would bring back my C64

Those toy cars that you turned the key in to make them go forward

Bring back chips and Atari 2600 with centipede then delete all existing references to the 80's cos like Dublin writer says, the decade was depressing.

I've got an atari 2600 at home and a rubic cube.

HMV have the cubes at the moment for €15 or there's about.
