About The Eighties

The 1980s had a sound you could almost see, synth lines rising over a neon skyline, the clatter of a joystick in a dark arcade, the whir of a cassette tape loading something miraculous on the home computer screen. It was the decade of shoulder pads and leg warmers, of Saturday morning cartoons and VHS blockbusters rewound before returning, of toy aisles that felt like the center of the universe. The puzzles here reach into all of it: the pop songs and the chart-toppers, the pixelated heroes, the hairstyles that defied gravity, the living-room machines that changed everything, the films everyone saw, and the workout crazes that had the whole country reaching for the sky. Pick whichever corner of the decade calls to you first, and take your time with it.
