- Nostalgia is a sense of fond remembrance of a time that you enjoyed.
- The first song that played, "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock", gives me a mental image of men in quintessential 60's suits and women wearing nice dresses all dancing together. The next one, "Sixteen Candles", makes me picture a scene with a romantic dinner between a young couple on the girl's birthday.
- My childhood is filled with images of countless cartoons, video games, and junk food. I can vividly taste the Oreos that I so desperately devoured. I can still smell the distinct aroma of my grandparents' house. I can practically see the screen while playing Chip's Challenge or a round of JezzBall. I also still remember the tunes to every hit The Cars put out.

This is very nicely written. As a suggestion, I would say to use a simile or metaphor that will better help the reader know what your grandparents' house smelled like. All we know from your post is that the smell was distinct, which doesn't do anything to our senses.
