1986 nostalgia sounds innocent until the Zelda theme won’t stop. A childhood spent with that loop suddenly becomes evidence in a very unserious argument about Gen X and nineties raves. Hear the music underneath the case before deciding whether Nintendo has anything to answer for.

Meanwhile, the latest gadget has already been ordered. It arrives tomorrow. One small detail remains: what is the thing called? The search for a name becomes its own demonstration of enthusiasm getting ahead of product knowledge.

Fancy an easier 1986 question? How many goals did Wayne Gretzky score? An answer comes quickly, but keeping score gets more complicated once the conversation reaches beyond regular-season NHL goals. There’s a little room between remembering the record and finishing the count.
