What is your favorite gizmo or piece of the 80's?

It can be things like the cars, toys, songs, hairstyles, or whatever...

I love KangaROO Sneakers and I hope to get a pair soon after I can find a pair of my size...


Here is a picture of a style of ROO's.

I used to have a pair of those KangaRoo sneakers! :D But they don't fit me anymore. :(

It's hard to pick on piece of the 80s that is my favorite. I like a lot of music, many TV shows, and almost all the music from that time period. I also like the video games from that time and a whole bunch of other things too. Cool topic Eastwood. :) :martyjr:

What size are they maybe you can post them on ebay and I will buy them....Opps going off topic. Nevermind :P

I miss generally long/frizzied hair the most. Back then, almost everyone had it, and it just looked flashy and cool to me. Jon Bon Jovi circa 1987 is a good example. :D

It's the striking opposite of the nearly shaved head look of today -- but hey, nothin' against that at all. On one hand, it is comfortable and there's nothing to have to comb. :lol: It's just not quite my style.

1982 - The introduction of Corkscrew into ALton Towers.

the original nintendo..i still play it to this day...super mario bros 3 is my favorite

Air Jordans.

Yep. I'll be playin' NES until I'm dead and buried.:D

I think part of its appeal for me is that the games were not only fun, but fairly easy to learn. I still remember, back in 1986/87 me and my dad playing the original Legend of Zelda game on summer vacation until, like 2 A.M. some nights. B)

^As will I...

I also have an NES.
Games I got with it are:
Back to the future game (Anybody want it? PM me if you do. Spotty might want it.)
Mickey's Mousecapade
The Little Mermaid ( I'm waiting for the DVD to come out)
Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt. (My bro likes to play Duck Hunt.)

I had a Colecovision that included Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Jr. I sold the system to reserve the NES that was at a pawn shop. I own it now.

Colecovision came out in 1983, NES in 1985.

What does NES stand for? We have a Nintendo 64, and relatives have a Super Nintendo, is that what it is?

Nintendo Entertainment System

Any quick google search could tell you that, but if you aren't that into anything technological, then I guess it's alright. :martyjr:

Oh, lol, silly me, of course! I never even thought of google, lol! But don't worry, usually I would, it just slipped my mind at the time, though.

For the record, not only I have an Nintendo Entertainment System. I also have a Super Nintendo with Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (which I beat 6 times), A Playstation One. Have yet to get a slim design PS2.

:D BTTF defiantely, sorry guys someone had to say it...lol

I was born, YAY. Oh and BTTF also (I know its been mentioned)

Indeed, all the best people were born in (November) 1986. ;)

^ OMG, are you serious? My older brother was born in November 1986! Me? I was born in September 1990! :D
