Faced with the threat of being forcibly censored out of existence by the government, in 1992 the "bishōjo" game industry formed the "Computer Software Rinri Kikō" (meaning "Ethics Organization for Computer Software", and often abbreviated "EOCS" or "Sofu-rin"), setting industry guidelines for acceptable content and packaging. This organization tamed down the most objectionable content in the "wild west" of the 1980s. Thus free from controversy and fueled by continuing improvement in technology, in the 1990s the "bishōjo" game industry underwent a decade-long boom.
