Yep, literally the only time I watch a sponsor segment on YouTube, insane the effort they go through compared to other channels

Interesting and genuinely amusing for about 15 years at this point.

I’d personally have…

My Master System plugged into my grandparents’ old wood-effect TV. Along with my Amiga and PS1, and a 90s Mac with The Settlers II.

The Sophtware Slump on CD and my cassette I made with the first two Garbage albums, one on each side.

Ghostbusters and The Goonies recorded onto VHS off TV, both with all their 90s ad breaks. On a TV that otherwise broadcast early Simpsons, X Files and Ren & Stimpy.

A Scalextric set and tons of Lego.

And all of the crisps (potato chips).

So the rules are pretty loose on this.

Basically if you could source certain items or media into a room together, things that were all particularly nostalgic to you - what would go in there?

It could have particular retro games consoles, loaded with particular games, plugged into the CRT TV you used to have in your bedroom.

It could have your old family PC loaded with MSN Messenger and Limewire, or access to old forums.

It could have certain albums on CD / cassette / vinyl played through your parents’ old hifi.

Maybe certain films you had taped on VHS and watched a million times, and the adverts you always remember in-between.

Perhaps certain meals, snacks, drinks laid out. Maybe ones you can’t buy anymore.

Certain items of furniture… certain wallpapers… certain aromas or perfumes… old toys…

Nothing is too old or too recent as long as it’s nostalgic for you personally. And things don’t have to all come from the same era, they can be mix and match.

What goes in your personal nostalgia room?
