My note

Vice City gave me a version of 1986 made from neon, palm trees and film posters. I knew the roads well enough to drive them without the map.

The radio did most of the work. Flash FM, Wave 103, Fever 105 and V-Rock had proper DJs, adverts and songs I first heard inside a stolen car. I have parked in the game to let a track finish more than once. That is why the radio gets its own exhibit in the Sound room.
