1992: Mortal Kombat, The Real World, and Mario Kart

History of Awesome is an epic 38-part trip
down memory lane - each episode we're covering a new year's most
important, influential, or just-plain-awesome movies, games, TV
shows, comics, and more.


Up next is 1992. The Real World changed TV
forever, while video games like Mortal Kombat thrust the medium
into the limelight. On television, animated takes on Batman and
X-Men would introduce the iconic characters to an entirely new
generation of fans.


Other discussion topics include The Legend of Zelda: A Link
to the Past, Wolfenstein 3D, Kirby's Dream Land, Wayne's World,
and Reservoir Dogs.
