So the rules are pretty loose on this.
Basically if you could source certain items or media into a room together, things that were all particularly nostalgic to you - what would go in there?
It could have particular retro games consoles, loaded with particular games, plugged into the CRT TV you used to have in your bedroom.
It could have your old family PC loaded with MSN Messenger and Limewire, or access to old forums.
It could have certain albums on CD / cassette / vinyl played through your parents’ old hifi.
Maybe certain films you had taped on VHS and watched a million times, and the adverts you always remember in-between.
Perhaps certain meals, snacks, drinks laid out. Maybe ones you can’t buy anymore.
Certain items of furniture… certain wallpapers… certain aromas or perfumes… old toys…
Nothing is too old or too recent as long as it’s nostalgic for you personally. And things don’t have to all come from the same era, they can be mix and match.
What goes in your personal nostalgia room?
A PC that exclusively runs the OG Battlefield 1942 and Desert Combat mod. A flight simulator, like the really nice ones. Two seater Initial D arcade. A hammock. Mini fridge just for Sunny D and the purple stuff. A pair of Bose 501’s. NBA Jam, Super Street Fighter, and Tempest arcade cabinets with an epoxy starfield floor where I can work on my bikes inside… and everything would glow under black lights. Last but not least, a super nice couch where I will neglect everything above and just dick around on my Steam Deck.
