If someone could create your "Ultimate Nostalgia Room" - what would it contain? (lemmy.zip)

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?

I want it to look like a 90s video rental store. But not a big chain store, more like a mom & pop rental in some vacation town.
