Before smartphones and Wi-Fi, there was the wild world of 80s tech—a time when computers loaded via cassette tapes, phones were firmly attached to walls, and gaming meant joysticks with exactly one button! 🎮📺
In this episode of Old Mates New Laughs, Brendan, Andy, and Mike take a nostalgic trip back to the gadgets, gizmos, and glorious tech fails that shaped our childhoods. From the ZX Spectrum vs. Commodore 64 battle to VHS vs. Betamax wars, we’re covering all the weird and wonderful technology that we somehow survived!
Expect plenty of laughs, some questionable tech memories, and at least one moment where we realise just how old we are! 🤦♂️
📻 Press play, rewind your brain, and join us for the ultimate 80s tech throwback!
