Technically from the 70's but... "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"

Oh and my wife wanted to throw out "The Labryinth" too ;). It's funny watching "I love the 80s" on TV, since half the time I say "Oh I remember that!".

Out Run

1942 was a GREAT game. The games I remember best are Predetor and Duck Tales for Nintendo... oh and Little Nemo (my wife has to correct me every time I say that refering to "Finding Nemo").

LA GEAR? bleh...Gimme Reebok Pumps anyday. :D

ANyways it seemed like the list is aimed more towards the females. No self respecting male whether in the 80s or not will ride a bike with streamers.

1942 was THE game to play after school at the corner school....
