How do you remember the seventies? Whether it's as the "Me Decade," the heatwave of 1976, or the Winter of Discontent, you'll find something in these pages to stir up nostalgia for the pop culture that defined a generation!

Cinemas were showing groundbreaking movies, from Star Wars and Suspiria to Smokey and the Bandit, and TV programming was in its golden age with classic kids' shows like The Tom and Jerry Show and The Muppet Show, sitcoms from Sanford and Son to Happy Days, dramas including Little House on the Prairie and Dallas, and more, all played out on brand-new color TV sets. Then came the first-ever video game consoles — the Magnavox Odyssey, which released just a few months before the Atari 2600 — and along with it, Pong.

In The Ultimate 70s Collection, you'll read and remember (or imagine!) what life was like in this momentous decade filled with legendary toys, trends, music, movies, celebrities, and other pop culture phenomena. Explore all the childhood favorite toys and games like Connect 4, Etch a Sketch, Speak & Spell, Simon, Weebles, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, Hungry Hippos, Boggle, Battleship, and more.

Remember the chart-topping songs, albums, artists, and musical events of the decade, including Michael Jackson going solo, the soundtrack to Grease, My Sharona from one-hit wonders The Knack, David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, AC/DC's Highway to Hell, Led Zepplin IV, Kiss, Queen, Blondie, The Clash, Ramones, Bee Gees, Love to Love You Baby from Donna Summer, and many more.

Discover how the iconic Dungeons & Dragons game was first created, the origins of Paddington Bear, the unique makeup of Stretch Armstrong, the musical revolution of the Sony Walkman, the story of Pong, 70 films that defined the '70s, from Dirty Harry and Escape from the Planet of the Apes to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Young Frankenstein, and explore a Star Wars retrospective.

Filled with fascinating articles, high-quality photography, and so much more, take a trip down memory lane and rediscover the most notable developments of the seventies with The Ultimate 70s Collection!
