1982 Socks
Description: Fastway were an English metal band formed in 1982. They released their self-titled debut in 1983, which was both a critical and commercial success. A second album, All Fired Up, dropped in 1984, but failed to get traction due to the rise of glam. In 1985, the group released Waiting for the Roar, which was more of an album-oriented rock sound, instead of the bluesy-metal of the previous albums. Success was limited, and disappointed many fans, but the same year, Fastway was approached to make the soundtrack for the heavy metal horror film Trick or Treat. The film flopped, but the soundtrack re-established Fastway as a hard-hitting metal band. The soundtrack was a moderate success and stayed on the Top 200 chart for eleven months.
Description: Winter, 1982. An isolated Antarctic research station, one wandering dog, and a containment protocol that suddenly depends on knowing who is still human.

Description: BurgerTime, originally released as Hamburger in Japan, is a 1982 arcade game developed by Data East, initially for its DECO Cassette System. The player is chef Peter Pepper, who must walk over hamburger ingredients located across a maze of platforms while avoiding pursuing characters, including Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle, and Mr. Egg. The player can score extra points by either crushing them under a falling ingredient, or by dropping an ingredient while they are standing on it. In the latter case, the ingredient falls two extra levels for every enemy caught on it. Crushed or dropped enemies return to the maze after a short time. The player could stun the bad guys with their pepper shaker, and a life is lost whenever Peter touches them.

Founded in 1922, the company's 'so bad it's good' logo was put into use back in 1982 and has been on the road ever since.
