25 sounds from 1980-1990, that will make you smile

computers

Starting Windows 95

Personal computers in those days were a rarity, so that most of us could see them only on computer science lessons at school, and that one eye. But input sound in Windows 95 forever etched in my memory of anyone who heard it once (unless you are lucky and you have speakers, haha).

Connecting a Dial-up-modem

This is probably one of the most memorable sounds for those lucky enough to be in the 90 computer with Internet access. If you are now less than 20, then, hear this, you might think that somewhere in the vicinity He opened a portal to hell. In fact, as in the 90s (and even in the beginning of zero), people connected to the network.

Work floppy drive

Floppy disks have long since outlived their usefulness, but what warmth we remember them. Because of stepper motors, installed in the drives, make sounds were so inimitable that now enthusiasts use "floppik" as musical instruments. Eight of these machines can be easily confused with cellos Apocalyptica group.

Printing on dot-matrix printer

Matrix printer - it is one hell of a machine, which publishes a terrible noise. This device is essentially an improved version of typewriter. The image formed in it in the same way: many needles hit the paper through the ribbon and leave it on the small dots that make up the letters, words and pictures.

New message on ICQ

If you are in the nineties and the beginning of zero was the Internet, make sure you had and ICQ to, or affectionately known as the most popular instant messenger while in the CIS, "ICQ". Sharp "and-oh," which can not be confused with anything, notifies users of new messages, making their hearts beat faster. This sound has remained in our memory forever.

Playing 3D Pinball: Space Cadet from Windows

If in the "Klondike" or "Minesweeper" has been more sounds, perhaps, these games have taken the place of "Pinball", but it happened as it happened. Built from the time Windows NT was the favorite game hit for those who preferred to drive highly intelligent gameplay. Unfortunately, since Windows Vista Microsoft removed the game from the standard kit than very annoyed loyal fans.

The soundtrack is the original version of Doom

The ancestor of all shooters, Doom was installed on any computer 90. The game allows you to relieve stress, to taste the adrenaline and just join the wonderful world of computer games, surpassing the console counterparts on the head. Soundtrack and special effects in the game deserves special praise. They are just marvelous.

Consumer electronics

Tape with pozhovannoy film

Compact Cassette, or audio cassettes, were incredibly popular. They were used not only in stationary equipment, but also portable. Domestic tape recorders and players at that time were not the highest quality, and imports were by no means all, so our recorders often "chew" the film with your favorite recordings, making them sound comical and a little scary the effect.

Rewind VHS-cassette

VCRs in our homes have appeared much later and were just fabulous devices. Good manners considered to rewind the videotape to the beginning, to a person who will look after it you immediately enjoy the film and not spend precious minutes to rewind.

Dialing a number on a rotary phone

The vast majority of citizens have phones dial dialer. Pushbutton been a source of pride, and phones with voice mail and caller ID devices in general seemed to be from the future. Dialing a number on a rotary phone has one feature: because of the spring that returns drive smoothly to its original position, a set of numbers, especially zero and nine, he took some time. At the same time he heard a distinctive sound.

TV

Screensaver "Tom and Jerry"

Hearing these sounds, we dropped everything and ran with all haste to the TV so as not to miss the start of the beloved cartoon. Children younger terrible roar of a lion a bit scared, but it was necessary to turn a couple of seconds, and now started a new drive irrepressible cat's ingenious mouse. Or vice versa.

Screensaver "Santa Barbara"

Imported TV shows were an outlet for adults. Children and adolescents from all these soap operas joy was short, but do not memorize them was simply impossible. It seems, "Santa Barbara" was infinite, but in fact completely show on Russian television never showed.

Screensaver "Call of the Jungle"

"On Wednesday evening, after dinner ..." Like 20 years ago, a remarkable Sergei Suponeva voice sounded in my ears, inviting two teams of children compete in strength and agility. In fairness it must be said that the output of the transmission still on Saturdays and in the afternoon, and in the morning.

Gadgets

Montana Watches

Unique representatives of Chinese consumer goods, which became in the early 90's just iconic. The clock was incredibly cool: they peak at the beginning of each hour, had a backlight, stopwatch timer, alarm clock and, most importantly, built-in tune! Quantity varied depending on the model (usually eight or 16), and they were reproduced through the bottom of Piezo hours.

Tamagotchi

Egg on a chain with living inside a pet, which had to take care of in every possible way: feed, walk and so on, has been extremely popular. The original Tamagotchi was a rarity, and most us fall into the hands of the clones and bad copies is no different quality, but nobody cared. Gadget beeping when the dinosaur, a fish or a puppy wanted to eat or they had to be removed, what attracted unwanted attention, especially if it was during school lessons.

Standard ringtone Nokia 3310

The best-known Nokia device, which has become the hero of anecdotes and incredible stories, of course, had a Nokia Tune ringtone brand and announce to them all the surrounding neighborhood when you call. Melody was in earlier phones of the Finnish company, but due to the popularity of the Nokia 3310 is remembered for his performance.

Games

Soviet slot game "Battleship"

When no consoles and computers, no one and did not exist, we would go to play slot machines. One of the most memorable of them, "Battleship", simulated torpedo attack enemy ships of the Soviet submarine. machine design was very primitive: painted scenery, a few lights, boats, tin yes periscope, in which all of this can be observed. But hiss torpedoes and explosions when a successful hit echoing still.

"Well, wait!" ( "MI-02 Electronics")

"If you type exactly a thousand points, you can see a cartoon!" This legend is passed from mouth to mouth, and every owner of a stunning gadget tried them yet score. Some even succeed. I only wish that the joy of victory gave way to disappointment, no cartoon there, of course, there was close.

«Tetris» (Brick Game)

The game "Tetris", always a part of these portable gaming gadget has become a household name for them. The first "Tetris" were only a few games (two to eight), but with the development of Chinese technology industry began to rivet models with tens, hundreds or even thousands of games. It is clear that different games have been on the strength of a dozen or so, and everything else has only their variations, but all the same it sounded cool - 999 in 1!

Screensaver cartridge 9999 in 1 Dendy

This cartridge comes with most clones Japanese consoles Famicom (the official clone which we It is known as Dendy), and it is here that many of us to begin exploring the wonderful world video games. I am sure, if you turn the music and close your eyes, you will immediately see a couple among the palm trees on the shore of the ocean caressing.

Soundtrack Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros., naively called us "Mario", was number one in the list Cartridge "four nines". But even if the game was the last, say, or 2937-th in a row, it would still have remained the most favorite game of all children and adults. It all sounds absolutely wonderful, from the soundtrack to the individual effects. That only is the sound of punching bricks, coins or ringing tune sounding after the fall into the abyss Mario.

Beginning levels Battle City

No less a favorite toy was "Tank Battle", which actually called Battle City. Here it was possible to play together, it was much more fun and made it possible to persuade his father to allow him to play with on a color TV set, and not an old black-and-white.

Laughing Dog from Duck Hunt

The Duck Hunt would play an even steeper. Light gun, it's almost like a real: you tselishsya, zhmosh trigger, you hear a shot and if you're lucky, the sound dive down duck, not a nasty laugh arrogant dog who wanted to shoot or even strangle their own hands. It is a pity, the game has not provided such.

Screensaver SEGA

16-bit console was already a major league. Solid box, chic design, gamepad with integral six-button! A game? Games are simply amazed graphics and sound! Each of them have a branding intro that forever imprinted in our brain ROM - neither more nor less.

Screensaver PlayStation

"Playstation" was not that major league, it was just a space. These were the only Game store or at one or two friends in the class, which automatically became respected by the people. We tore the template is not only amazing games, but also on the console itself the screen saver. Even now I have from it on creeps.
