It's not necessary for you to have lived in the 1980s to be nostalgic for that era. If anything, shows like <i>Stranger Things</i> prove that. But there was more to the '80s than <i>Dungeons & Dragons</i>, Cyndi Lauper and mullets — and we're especially glad that the latter are not a thing anymore. 

The '80s were also a time of major geopolitical changes, armed conflicts and advancements in technology that culminated in the personal computer. It's the decade that marked the end of the Cold War and introduced the world to HIV. 

It would be very difficult to cover such a landmark decade with one quiz, but we did our best. So jump right in and find out just how well you know the decade of greed.
