Didn't even know Argos was that old.

I had that Atari (a bit later than then from a boot sale), had a spectrum, CPC464 and then a C64

Ahh memories.

I guess they were still a new, high-tech item at that time.

Whoah.. I was born in 1991 and I definitely remember tons of things from this catalogue. Random things like a big red flybe mower, or the Braun hair curler at the top of page 56...

This is weird I don't like it anymore

One of the first programs on Amstrad I ever tried was something like:

10 DEG
20 ORIGIN 0,100
30 FOR x=1 to 360
40 PLOT x,SIN(x)*100
50 NEXT

Can anyone else smell the argos catalogue when they are looking at the images?

Also, as is traditional I started from the back!

My parents had that TV in their bedroom until a few years ago.

I absolutely love the style of all the electronics stuff. I honestly wish they would bring the style back. Veneer wood and aluminium ... I love it

This and these.

Edit: It's not even aluminium is it, it's just plastic. Still, they look amazing.

Crizzy · 9 Dec 2010 at 14:19

Wow page 228 item 7 is a Nintendo DS! :eek:
