1990 Electronic Gaming Monthly Video Game Buyer's Guide
December, 1989. The USSR is crumbling. Captain N and the Super Mario Brothers Super Show! premiered earlier in the year, and a weird cartoon called The Simpsons will spin off into its own show this month from a segment on The Tracey Ullman Show. There's a really addictive new NES game called Tetris made by Soviets(?!), the Genesis and the TurboGrafx-16 are brand new, and the 16-bit era is dawning...
