1994 was the year when Pulp Fiction challenged Oscar voters and Frasier Crane starts his love affair with the Emmys. It was also the year when Green Day threw Dookie all over the Grammys. But what about the video game awards? If you've ever wanted to know what old school games took home the top prize, then you've definitely come to the right place. Today we're going to recreate Electronic Gaming Monthly's Best & Worst of 1994, featuring three dozen categories that range from Worst Movie Game to Best Duo to Most Appalling Trend. So let me cue up the VCR and introduce you to the greatest televised awards show to never be broadcast. Let's do this!

Special thanks to Electronic Gaming Monthly for putting the awards together in the first place, the Oscar telecast for supplying me with so many great cutaway shots, and to you for watching this crazy video.
