walking into the local pizza hut, smelling the pizza cooking, sitting down and playing bubble bobble for hours on end.

For me, it was walking into the local Pizza Inn, smelling the pizza, hearing the 80s music blasting while people watched one of those old 80s projection TVs, and hearing the arcade games in the back of the restaurant and then playing them. God I miss those times so much.

Computers rocked in the 80s. They had so much more "personality" or something back then.

[The Boston Dangler]

1984.

Madonna appears on the radio for the first time.
Springsteen hits it big with Born in the USA
Bananarama Cruel Summer
Footloose
Cyndi Lauper
1984, Van Halen.
Purple Rain
Wham!
Tears for Fears
Thompson Twins
Duran Duran

1984 was probably the high point for 80s music.

it's widely understood that 1984 was the most 80's of all the 1980's. who can forget sheena easton's sugar walls?

You know it.

Being born I guess, but I don't remember it... The earliest memory I have was tasting apple juice for the first time, so I guess that...

 

[bobsmith1492]

Only thing I remember from the 80s was walking half a mile down the road to the store to buy a honey bear all by myself ... at 4 years old. Maybe also a trip down to visit old friends from the last place we lived.

I had many favorite memories:

- Lost my virginity in the middle of a field - she got poison ivy on her ass cheeks.
- Graduated high school [I was so glad to get away from that crap]
- Watching the first episode of MTV via my parent's huge satellite dish [back in those days - you could get the live feeds - interesting to see the newscasters yell at everyone]. My dad also subscribed to the pr0n channel.
- Entered the Air Force
- Music of 84
- TI/994A computer - that was an awesome system at the time. I stayed up all night and played Bard's Tale [I can still remember my Mom's look of "what the hell? You've been up all night playing that game?"]
- My parents waking me up to watch the first shuttle launch - that was extremely cool.
- shuttle disaster in 86 - I was working at Montgomery Wards in the automotive dept [mechanic/auto tech] - I don't think anyone did anything but watch the tv for an hour...
- Commodore 64 and game "trading" parties [trading cracked games].
- Commodore Amiga - Awesome system way ahead of it's time.
- Star Wars Empire strikes back and Return of the Jedi.

I still have those systems out in my garage. I have no doubt the C64 would power up. The Amiga, I am not so sure about.

And yes, Star Wars rocked back then. I remember my parents taking me to the stores to get the new toys when they were released.
