Take the Bodacious '80s Challenge on your phone

New mobile trivia game tests your knowledge of the 1980s

Take the Bodacious '80s Challenge on your phone

If you've still got a wardrobe bulging with shoulder-pads and legwarmers (hey, they're in again, right?) then you'll love this. US firm TimeLapse Mobile's new game is a trivia quiz with questions focusing on movies, TV, music and sports from the 1980s.

It's called Bodacious '80s Challenge (dude!), and has apparently already been endorsed by the likes of LL Cool J, Jennifer Hudson, and the cast of Ugly Betty.

The game has more than 100 question categories, and TimeLapse promises more than 25 hours of gameplay. It's also got an innovative feature where you can win prizes for your knowledge there and then – in the form of ringtones and wallpapers, downloadable from within the game itself.

The game is out next month in the States, and since a lot of the questions are based around American '80s culture, we're guessing it would need some tweaking before it could come out here too.

We'll let you know of any news about a European release, anyhow.
