The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is now in possession of leather chaps, a Budweiser-branded guitar and a a cassette tape featuring a mouse in a tank-top holding a knife. Ahhh, how we miss the hair metal of the 1980s.

It’s kind of a slow Monday morning, which gives me a chance to selfishly indulge my penchant for 80s nostalgia. Wired points out that on this day in 1985, the first Nintendo Entertainment Systems hit American living rooms, with little fanfare and no idea how huge of a cultural phenomenon it would become.
