Connect 4

I can’t remember when I first got Connect 4, but I loved it. It would have either been the late 70s or the very early 80s, but I played that same game from that progressively tattier box for over a decade. Connect 4 was such a simple idea – Two players take turns to get […]

Cluedo

Cluedo was a weird board game. Its great if you’re an adult, trying to deduce who did what where and to whom. But as a child I never understood it because it was just a little too complicated. It is a board game in which you have to work out who committed a murder. There […]

Buckaroo

Yahoo, it’s Buckaroo! Buckaroo is a fun, easy game to play. But at the same time, one of the most stressful games I’ve ever played in my life. You have to gently place supplies onto a plastic donkey, a donkey, I might add, with anger management issues. A bucket, a guitar, a spade, bed roll, […]

Beware The Spider!

This was a game which worked in a very similar to Operation, in that you had to remove plastic things from a metal area using metal prongs. However there was one huge difference between Operation and Beware The Spider. In Operation, if you touched the metal, the poor guys nose lit up and he buzzed. […]

Postman Pat

The series revolved around the adventures and mishaps of title character, Patrick Clifton, delivering his letters & parcels to the residents in the quaint fictional village of Greendale. It was a stop motion animation, initially running from 1981-85. Pat was voiced by Ken Barrie, who sung the title theme. Each episode consisted of Pat and […]

Street Hawk 2

Jesse Mach was a motorcycle cop. I say was, because he had a bit of a run-in with some naughty men which resulted in his knee being busted up and his friend Marty being killed. He was destined to never ride a motorcycle again, but to be shunted into the Public Relations office where he […]

Henry’s Cat

“You must have seen the movie, you must have read the book, he’s a mellow yellow feline, so take a second look. He knows everything about nothing and not too much about that, so if you someone who knows what he knows then you must know Henry’s Cat…. MEEAAAOOW!!” Yes I am sad enough to […]

The Dukes of Hazzard

Saturday afternoons at 3pm if my memory serves me correctly Waylon Jennings would start singing, ‘Just the good ol’ boys, never meaning no harm……‘ over the top of an orange Dodge Charger on our screens thrashing through the back lanes, jumping and kicking up dust on every corner. Yes its the opening titles to The […]

Help Wanted!

80sNostalgia is undergoing a huge revamp. It is moving servers for the first time in 6 years and, to celebrate it becoming a teenager, (2012 marks it’s 13th year online!) I thought I would treat it to brand new additional content. The 80s was a huge decade, for TV especially, with hundreds of shows airing […]

Classic TV

I don’t know about you, but I spent most of my childhood sat in front of the TV. And who can blame me, when you look at the classics that we could enjoy back then. This list is far from complete. If you are able to contribute a few paragraphs about any TV show that […]

The Clangers

The ultimate question has always been, and always will be, are we alone? Well, if TV is to be believed, the answer is no. Living on a far away planet, that strangely resembles the Moon live the Clangers. They bum around the planet all day, making strange noises and collecting soup from the Soup Dragon. […]

Worzel Gummidge

Shame on you. And you thought scarecrows weren’t real. Well, when I say not real, I mean that they are real, they’re just not real, if you see what I mean. No? OK, I’ll get on with it then. It all starts when two children, Sue and John move to the Scatterbrook Farm for their […]
