The Weekly Links: Mini Flux Capacitor Kickstarter, Run-DMC Comic Book, Game Console Transformers

Jason Gross November 07, 2014
Welcome to another edition of The Weekly Links, your weekly source for the best '80s content on the web! I've been under the weather this week, but that's not prevented me from cataloging some great articles to share. My partner in '80s crime Wyatt helped me out this week while I was recovering by contributing another great Airwolf at 30 article. Did you see how young Brian Cranston looked? I also posted a rad infographic on '80s toys and how they've appreciated in value since they first came on the market. And at the beginning of the week, I loaded up my Netflix streaming queue with newly available '80s flicks. Guess that was a bit provisional for the 3 days I spent quarantineed at my house.

I also watched several great videos this week, one of which I enjoyed above the others. This virtual reality tour of an '80s arcade is truly unbelievable and made me wish I could experience it first hand. Not only can you play arcade games and a Gameboy, but you can also pop in your favorite cassette and take your boombox inside the arcade wherever you like! Definitely an environment I'd love to experience again...
