But what it lacked in technology, the ’80s made up for with questionable fashion choices, an abundance of moustaches, and Alf (as much as we’d like to, we can’t forget Alf). This is a small glimpse at what the ’80s looked like in the pages of EC&M. Don’t hold us responsible, folks. This is what everyone looked like back then.
