Actually, 25 years ago would have been 1984. That was during the terrible totalitarian regime, with Big Brother constantly watching you. A dark time to live, at least for the proles. Obviously by 1985 the regime was thrown down and replaced with modern society, and everyone got the Big Macs and porn they deserved.
