I the 80s they actually had a plot and were not just gratuitous sex. At least the better ones and not the comps. The 80s was also when hot girls started to appear in them. You can thank the invention of the vcr for that boom. With the age of the PC all home entertainment software products are in danger of extinction. By that I mean things like Cds, DVDs,tapes, and the like. In fact it is the bane of many small retail outlets as well.
