That Fisher Price record player sure bring me back, haven't seen one in years.

That was pretty funny. I gotta admit though it took me a few seconds to recognize the 8-Track player. Everything else I remember using, the 5.25 floppy was the only drive my original Laser XT computer had.

I didn't know what the first one was, thought it was a scale
Only 8-track I ever used was in the dash of my dads car.

What surprises me is that they didn't know what a Game Boy was. Although I don't think anyone would figure out what the RCA Videodisc was. I would've liked it though if they showed a Laserdisc though...or even music from the 90's and how it fares to todays...or even TV shows.

Man, I love nostalgia.

Those floppy disc sure bring back some memories.

I used to have that 8-track player that's made to look like a TNT detonator. Mine was blue.

Pretty much only used a 3.5" floppy to store my school work for nearly 12 years. Good times. Hand in your floppy in a box and hope either another student or the teacher didn't screw up the contents causing an assignment or exam failure.

I still own the Star Wars soundtrack on 8-track.

I'm 31, and aside from the Game Boy, record player, and floppy discs, I didn't recognize a lot of that stuff myself. One of them reminded me of an old Atari game cartridge, only bigger.
