The Dawn of Gamelink

As Ilan's interest grew exponentially in computers, he registered GameLink as a business in 1992. GameLink was initially created to sell computer games via the aforementioned Bulletin Board System.

However, by 1993, Ilan had switched to selling adult movies in VHS format, which possessed a larger worldwide market and better margins. The rest is pretty much history.

Congrats to Gamelink and Private!
