There are many different styles from the 80s. Most of the American more mainstream 80s looks were cheesy. Cheesy 80s for girls: tafeta dresses, HUGE jewellery, sweats, lots of rouge and bright lipstick and eyeshadow. And for the guys: sweatbands, head sweatbands, hightop trainers, aviator sunnies.
BUT! I much prefer the looks derived from the UK - the new romantics and new waves.
The LOOK of the 80s is backcombed big hair, long fringes, lots of eye makeup, loose fitting sweatshirts/batwing blouses, ruffles, harem or loose pants which are a bit too short, and generally abstract patterns.
For girls: think loose wide rounded collars, loose wide fitting shirts, high waisted skirts with a belt, leg/arm warmers, dresses with the waist belted, dramatic, colourful and bold accessories.
For guys: Fingerless gloves, jeans or loose pants with the bottom of the leg hem rolled up, keds with laces, red slouch boots, big black coat, maybe a fedora hat and some wayfarers.
For more inspiration Google the bands Bananarama, Duran Duran, Tears For Fears, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper.

How has gaming changed from the 70s'80s and now?
In the 70s gaming was just lines and very bulky hardware. In the 80s you got games that where full on 2d side scrolling games with backbone and story. Some of the 80s consoles were smaller than ours today. Today we have full 3d open world games with sandbox like effects.

How would you dress like Duran Duran?
I would wear a fedora for my head, dye my bangs blonde, keep my hair medium length and make sure I had a special necklace (like Simon's tigerbaby one). For a shirt, a nice dress shirt and 80s tie, and leather pants or black dress pants. I would get a pair of white dress shoes or black short boots with a belt around the calf...that is how I dressed as John Taylor in high school for dress down days and it WORKED!!! :)
