There and to the left a bit

Decimilisation

When there were only three channels on the TV and you had to get up to switch over

When if you missed a film at the cinema you had to wait years till it was shown on TV

When cinemas showed double bills

When films had an interval

When kids TV was limited to an hour and a half on a weekday and Saturday mornings

When you had to send a cheque with a stamped addressed envelope to a concert venue and hope you were lucky to get tickets

I could go on

Original Streetfighter 2 on the Amiga. We'd sometimes go round my mates at school lunchtime and play it while smoking his dad's duty free and nicking a Stella. Haha.

Northern England

"Rendezvous" Contact Magazine!

Profiles consisted of tiny thumbnail pictures in black and white and a few lines of text. You'd send a LETTER to the magazine by post to people you liked the look of - along with a modest forwarding fee and self addressed / stamped envelope; and wait for the reply - and yes, you almost always got one ; even if it was just a "thanks, but no thanks"

Ahhh nostalgia. Did anyone else use this wonderful publication?

Commodore 64 wow.

Loading a computer game took hours, so you did it while playing football outside. And half the time it crashed anyway.
