Bill Murray, arcade games, seeing the never released Ms. Gorf in development, Silver Sue the sexy arcade owner, Apple II with nerdy boy showing the future, and Atari 800s at Club Med....what is there not to love about this:

one of the nice things is that it was taken from Umatic (for those who don't know, the professional version of Betamax) and has amazing quality compared to a lot of this stuff we often see.

Are you having these compression artefacts, too??

Like in the screenshot but there are scenes that are much worse.

Cool video André, thanks!

Probably already discussed here but anyway: Arcade Attack of course!
More 80's than the 80's themselves.

Everything is so wrong in that video that you just have to love it.

If you don't have the patience (or endurance) to watch everything (which I can easily understand ;D), please skip to the very end Ed Woodesque sci-fi sequence:
