In the 1980s, it was typically things away from the computer - renting videos or video games from Blockbuster and things like that. Not to mention all of the actually interesting things on cable.
The local video store would run a deal over the summers when I was a kid where you paid $30 and got three, two night rentals (new releases excluded) a week for the summer school break. Being able to grab a new game or movie every other day (since you were already there to return the previous one on time) was great.
