Can you guess the price of classic tech featured in Argos catalogues from the ’80s? Try our tricky quiz
THE 1980s was truly a golden era for home technology – well, okay, compared to the preceding decade, at least.
Not only was it the beginning of the digital age, it signalled the start of the personal tech revolution too.
For the very first time, you could record stuff off off the telly (albeit, from only three or four channels) to watch in your own time.
You could listen to music without bothering anyone else – and, incredibly, carry the music around with you!
You could play those newfangled video games without visiting an arcade, and even programme your own on a home computer.
But, of course, cutting-edge technology didn’t always come cheap.
See if you can guess the price of these classic products, as featured in Argos catalogues from 1980 to 1989…
You probably won’t get full marks, but why not challenge family or friends to beat your score?
You’ll find Facebook and Twitter share buttons at the end of the quiz.
