+Random Terrain Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 For those who don't know, I have Atari 2600 video game release date pages that have "pop culture atmosphere," meaning there are lists of music, movies, and TV shows (with links to YouTube and other web sites). Well, I made a test page with only the pop culture stuff for those who aren't that interested in video games: https://www.randomterrain.com/1982.html Please take a look at the page and see if it's OK the way it is or if there are more things I need to add or change. If you know any non-gamers who are interested in 1982 pop culture, please ask them to look at it too. I'd like to know if any changes need to be made before I make other pop culture pages. I've been meaning to do this for years, but just now got the urge to do it. I'll use the 1982 test page as a template for the rest of the pages (1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1991). I'll make pop culture pages for other years (including 1990) whenever the urge hits me. Thanks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Defender Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thanks for doing these. The commercials are a blast from the past. Bring back a lot of memories... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Looks good to me... I like uncluttered pages and the way you have things divided up makes it easy to read and browse. Thanks for putting these together! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeatari1 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Great page RT! I listened to a few songs and got taken back to my childhood. All of a sudden I was in my moms' 71' Coupe Deville listening to early 80s' soft rock! Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 The 1983 page is "done." https://www.randomterrain.com/1983.html I plan to sprinkle in things like new toys, new food, new gum, and so on to these pages, but I figure it's best to just focus on adding images and commercials for now.

+Random Terrain Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 I had to work on something else for a while, but the 1981 page is done now: www.randomterrain.com/1981.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 In case anyone wants to know, the 1982 and 1983 pages now have playlists that include most of the songs listed on the pages: randomterrain.com/1982.html#playlist randomterrain.com/1983.html#playlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
