Decades of geekery

Welcome to the Decades of Geekery subsection!

This corner of the site is basically a time machine, no DoLorean required. We’ve split each decade into its own little hangout spot, so you can zip straight to the era that makes your inner child do cartwheels. Whether you grew up in the 80s, 90s, or 2000s, we’ve got you covered. You can chose which era you want to (re)discover first.

Once you land there, it’s like opening a treasure chest of memories: epic timelines stuffed with the toys, comics, video games, board games, and pop culture icons that ruled that decade. And because we like to keep things interesting, we’ve added some few twists. Think of challenges, themed events, or throwing a game night where only 90s video games are allowed!

So whether you’re ready to flex your movie knowledge of the 1980s, trade Pokémon cards in the 1990s like they were precious currency, or relive another golden era of your choice, we’ve got your nostalgia fix.

And hey, if the “new stuff” of today is putting you to sleep, just pop back in here. Sometimes the past really does have the most fun.

Do you want to have a quick set up for a themed era event?

  1. Select Your Year: Kick things off by choosing the specific year you want to relive. This decision will dictate the soundtrack, games, and cinematic gems you’ll be featuring.
  2. Craft Your Guest List: Invite friends and family who share your birth year. This way, everyone can revel in the nostalgia together.
  3. Set the Scene: Transform your party space into a time capsule by adorning it with posters, toys, and other memorabilia from your birth year.
  4. Musical Time Machine: Curate a playlist featuring the greatest hits from the ’80s, ’90s, or ’00s – depending on your chosen year.
  5. Game On: Revisit your old favorites by bringing out classic board games, video games, or even vintage arcade games.
  6. Movie Marathon: Sink into the couch and enjoy a cinematic trip down memory lane with movies from your birth year.

Throwback parties are a fantastic way to celebrate your childhood and bond with your friends and family. Gather your crew and prepare to relive those cherished memories!
