1987: Zelda, RoboCop, Predator, and So Much More

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 1986, a contender for the
greatest year in pop culture history. The NES hit its stride,
with all-time classics like The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Contra,
Mega Man and Castlevania all making their debut. It was a great
year for movies too, thanks to the release of greats like The
Princess Bride, RoboCop, and Predator.


Other discussion topics include Star Trek: The Next Generation,
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, Ducktales, and
Punch-Out.
