All the greatest '80s tech you can buy, ahead of ‘Ready Player One’: [Insert synth pop music here.]Image: pixabayBy Carlos CadornigaMashable Deals2018-03-21 13:46:56 UTC If you've seen any trailer for Ready Player One, or read Ernest Cline's wildly popular book that serves as the flick's inspiration, then you already know it's chock full of nerdy references from the '80s.  Ready Player One is pretty much the most 1980s thing this side of Hawkins, Indiana. From the use of Van Halen's Jump in its promos to the vintage-style posters and the references to Back to the Future and Akira, the entire movie screams 1980s nostalgia aesthetic and we couldn't be more pumped. (Though some, it seems, are not on board.) In celebration of this love letter to the '80s, we've hopped into our DeLoreans to find some tech from the era that can still fit into our modern day. Decorate yourself in some 1980s swag in time for the movie when it premieres on March 29 and check out our retro finds below: What '80s kid doesn't remember spending hours after school at the arcade playing Pac-Man or Space Invaders? If you're not exactly shopping for the original gargantuan machines, then get your kicks on a fully-playable arcade machine keychain. Play Pac-Man, Space Invaders, or Ms. Pac-Man wherever you are. It's thenext best thing to putting a quarter on the machine.Image: ThinkGeek Calculator watches were all the rage during the '80s, because being able to do complex math on your wrist just sounds cool. Back then, nerds might have gotten some flak for wearing one, but it's pretty retro geek chic these days.Image: Casio Clap on. clap clap Clap off. clap clap Now that that old jingle is stuck in your head again, let us be the first to tell you that The Clapper is still on the market.

You can get an actual vintage 1983 DeLorean on eBay.

It'll run you a cool $50K, but it'll totally be worth it.Image: ebay
