Editorial Value

The 80s Server is more than an archive of the culture and events of the 1980s. It is an engaging mix of games, music, video, and information that is constantly changing and expanding. Few sites on the Internet can match The 80s Server for content, programming, and sheer size.

Games and Trivia: As a group, The 80s Server's interactive games are the biggest traffic generators for the site. Games are updated either on a daily or weekly basis, bringing people back over and over for a new challenge.

  • Rewind: A "Name That Tune" kind of game that draws from a database of more than 500 '80s tunes. Each week, thousands of contestants compete in three rounds to see who knows best the music of the 1980s.

  • The Daily 100: Every week day, "The Daily 100" serves up a different audio clip from a classic '80s movie. Contestants try to earn 100 points by correctly guessing the title, actor, character, and year of each clip.

To get a perfect score, players must correctly identify all 10 clips and the artists who recorded them.
