Is there a name for that kind of dreamy, more optimistic space age stuff that evokes thoughts of interstellar space travel and not dystopian cyberpunk

Need more video games that resemble old fantasy art that isn't grimdark D&D poo poo. Mass Effect had a good thing going with the Syd Mead and we need more stuff like that.


and I wish Patrick Nagel was still alive

Too bad the mass effect series gameplay revolved mostly around being cover based shootmans with boring guns. (Aside from a few fun powers and a couple of the superweapons being crazy freaky.) Not to say they couldn't have guns, just that there was an opportunity for more cool use of science and psychic stuff than what they had. This was originally grown out of the work bioware did on the KOTOR games, but there was no 'elegent and better than a blaster' lightsaber type weapon for gunless psi-soldier troops, nor was there an option for the spockish or doctor who ish science-favoring types who would want to end battles using clever physics & matter manipulation tools or something. I like the idea of a future where methods of old warfare - including guns - wind up phased out, and where battles are more like science-manipulated rubicks cubes you have to solve.
I want to play what was described in the codex.

All the better ideas from sci-fi that have already been effectively mined by other space games of different genres and especially that Chris Roberts space game that won't ever come out and looks like vaporware scam trash to sucker nerds like us

The video for Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven is really bad because they've got a bunch of obvious digital effects trying to make it look like a bootleg VHS from the 80s but it obviously doesn't. They could have just got an actual VCR and made 3rd, 4th, 5th-gen copies of itself. (EP mode)

im confused....is this actually music from the 1980s, or music from 2010s made to sound like it's from the 1980s?
The latter and it's glorious.

For anyone who hasn't seen it or know about it, check out the movie Beyond the Black Rainbow. The story with this movie, as I understand it, is the director grew up in the 1980's and was in video stores a lot, but was not allowed to rent or watch any R-rated horror or sci-fi movies. But he was infatuated with the box art. Since he couldn't watch any of the movies until he was older, he often imagined what the movies were like based on the artwork. Beyond the Black Rainbow is a combination of two of his different film ideas based on this 1980's box art.

This movie was in my netflix queue before I cancelled it. Now I kinda regret that because drat

As somebody that made this kind of music back in the 1980s I don't think I'll ever get why you'd want MORE of it 30 years later. Seemed like there was way too much back then.
Tell us your story.

The Le Perv and Obituary videos are great but this doesn't quite match. I get more of an 80s cyberpunk vibe than... whatever this is.

I don't think you'll find that. Most of this music exists because it is able to look back to the entirety of the 80s and is an amalgamation of it.

That aside the closest ancestor to a lot of this is New Wave. Flock Of Seagulls and that poo poo you've heard a million times and is undoubtedly what you probably think of when you hear '80s music'.

That's just what i've found, someone cool can shoot me down but someone like Carpenter Brut probably couldn't exist in 1987
I think this qualifies

Quotin' from page 1, but this kind of artwork is awesome and I love it.

I've been a fan of the Rekall Tumblr for a while: http://rekall.tumblr.com Same kind of retro-future imagery.

Does anybody have any other favorite Tumblrs with this art style? I MUST HAVE MORE.
Rekall has been my mainstay for a while. Adding to this, there's http://artemartemm.tumblr.com if 80s cyberpunk anime doesn't scare you off.
