1991: Super Nintendo, Terminator 2, and Sonic the Hedgehog

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 1991. The Super Nintendo finally
made its U.S. debut with Super Mario World, but Sega hit back
with Sonic the Hedgehog. Meanwhile, movies like Beauty and the
Beast, The Silence of the Lambs, and Terminator 2 offered very
high quality (albeit very different) moviegoing experiences.


Other discussion topics include Street Fighter II, Tecmo Super
Bowl, and Final Fantasy II.
