YMMV / 1983: Doomsday

• Fridge Horror: A good deal of them, such as the ones involving Deadline News. There are mentions of some reporters sobbing while others desperately trying to go out in dignity by staying on air for as long as possible...
• Moral Event Horizon: Doomsday itself definitely fits the bill. Though a more specific example would be the Soviets' attempt at invading Austria despite its neutrality, beginning with dropping two warheads indiscriminately over Vienna. They failed.
• Spiritual Adaptation: The timeline is more or less a realistic version of Fallout focusing on the after-effects of a post-nuclear Earth with a retro aesthetic, an American government-in-exile that is a benevolent version of the Enclave, and multiple survivor nations emerging from the ruins of pre-war civilization.
• Tear Jerker: The anchormen who had to announce the end of the world, knowing that within a few moments, they would be dead and the world as they know it would be gone. CNN anchor Dave Walker's final moments are especially harrowing: he is visibly crying as he struggles to finish his last report, while his newsroom is torn apart by chaos and panic.
