Let me start with a quote from the Boulder Dash-XL Website

"Back in the 80’s, when hairstyles were wild, music was electronic and video games were sold on Music Cassettes in Europe (yes, it’s really true!), Boulder Dash® won our hearts by storm. "

This Quote inspired this contest. So here we go!

Alright so simpler is a bit of a lie. The 80's were straight whack. So in this contest we're going retro and wild! To enter I need you to take a step back into the 80's even if you weren't alive then, and find the craziest wildest things from the 80's in the form of an image and post them here. For each image you post you get one entry into the contest for up to a total of 5 entries per one person! We have a couple of codes of Boulder Dash-XL to give away here, so go nuts guys, and remember think crazy, wild, and neon, like the 80's!

If you'd like to learn more about Boulder Dash-XL you can check out our review here (http://www.readyuplive.com/showthread.php/7419-Boulder-Dash-XL-Review)!

A huge thanks to Kalypso Media (http://www.kalypsomedia.com/) for donating all the codes used in this contest!

This contest ends next Sunday at 11:59PM PST!

Not actually filmed in the 80's, but you get the point.

Congratulations to All Else Failed, and Sorarules20 the winners of our two Boulder Dash-XL codes! Thanks to everyone who participated. It was pretty excellent to see so many awesome 80's things (and a bunch of weird ones too).

I'll PM both of you with your prize!
