Put on your headphones, switch on your walkman and off you go on your skateboard! Skate through the streets of 1984 while listening to 80s synthwave music, but make sure, that you don't run out of batteries for your walkman. Can you make it to the arcades? Then have a break with some classic 80s mini games before getting back on your board with some fresh batteries. Play the classic shooter "Space Galaxy" or the famous music game "Color Senso", prove your memory skills with typical 80s motifs in "Memories" or free your tapes in "Save my Tapes" from "spaghettied tape" - provided you still know the connection between a cassette and a pencil ... ;-) 1984 has called: it's time to hit these roads again!
