Brilliant - I haven't really read the article yet but.... I was discussing this last weekend with a mate. Neither of us have actually played the game but it was around when we were about 10. We were trying to imagine how bad this game could possibly have been that it was taboo, and yet it was around in his (and my friends) fathers collections. We speculated that it would probably be pretty horrific sexist geek humour. I did a bit of Wikipedia research and it seemed like it pretty interesting game. Probably terrible, but ground breaking at least (though the wiki article and related material didn't make it sound terrible). Interestingly, apparently it sold well even though nobody wanted to admit to having it, due to the lewd nature.

The game is humor focused, and the humor is about on the same level as Mel Brooks or Steve Martin films from that time period.

  I think this is the best description. Steve Martin and Mel Brooks still have their audience today. I think that kind of humor is timeless, just out of fashion; I think it will always have its audience, but it's almost surprising that it was mainstream at some point. In the same vein, you won't see "dad jokes" going away any time ever.

  > same level as Mel Brooks or Steve Martin That's overly generous. The game was funny (I played the Apple II version), but not on the same level.
