Is that a spaceship outside your window?!
I have a theory that Geeks were being abducted in the 80's.
Toss in a mullet, and there but for the grace of God go I.
Oh, and if they are playing Fortress america, then the albums would be Rush, Iron Maiden, and Billy Idol. (Don't ask me how I know.)
i don't know. the lack of fingerless gloves, leather, and/or denim leads me to believe albums would be Styx, Devo, and Richard Marx ...but it is Fortress America so throw in some Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen.
8. Apple IIgs 9. Two guys unabashedly wearing glasses that look like Ray Ban Aviators.
Huh? The computer was mentioned in the post you quoted already... and what's wrong with glasses that look like Ray Ban Aviators. I wear sunglasses that ARE Ray Ban Aviators. Although I do agree it is a bit silly to wear them indoors after dark.

33 1/3 rpm LPs...
And this goes without saying since the turntable was previously mentioned.
Anyways, having a turntable and some LPs isn't so strange either. I myself have an old turntable and a shelf of LPs positioned pridefully in my home entertainment system above my 7.1 surround receiver and below my 1080p tv.

Anyway, in 1988 and with that shape the computer is a MacIntosh II, not an Apple II.
Apple made the Apple II series for a long time after the Macintosh debuted. According to The Wiki (tm), the Apple IIgs (last and most powerful in the series) was finally discontinued in 1992.
Since we are doing 80's MB Gamemaster series flashback, I'll throw my own in-[ImageID= 373059 ] Thats me in the back left corner with the yellow shirt. And yes, that's a mullet....
I think that the clothing is most killer. Violet Shirt White Short That shoe, that is killer too. The other guy is also fashion dictator too. The sunglasses specially night in the room. :-) This one rocks...

You sure those haircuts and moustaches aren't from 1978.
I think you have failed to implement the +10 Year Geek Rule!
This rule decrees that all Geeks take a solid 10 years to catch onto the trends and fashions of 'the real world'.

Whaaaaat?! That cracked me up, because he'd make my list of the top 10 sexiest men alive.
Those plaid shorts gave me serious flashbacks, I had some that looked like that (same colors).
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that those shorts looked a little better on you.
Is it true... Is that an Apple II computer?
