The USSR was crumbling Margaret Thatcher’s neo-Liberal economics enriched some, while hurting others & South America suffered from several horrendous dictatorial regimes. This upheaval was a world-wide phenomenon. Economic, political & social upheaval was rampant the war on drugs was at its zenith & many felt abandoned in this new world based on greed, power & status. There is a kind of haze that surrounds this time, created by the media that spawned from it, but the ’80s were a turbulent decade for many. In a short ten-year period, some of the best movies, music, TV & video games were created.

The decade in which GTA: Vice City is set, is often remembered by those who lived through it (and even those who didn’t) as the best decade. 5) CONCLUSION GTA: Vice City – Inspiration from a different time
