1980: Empire Strikes Back, Pac-Man, ad Superman II
Release Date:
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 today is 1980. Empire Strikes Back took us back to a galaxy far, far away. Meanwhile Superman II proved the superhero genre wasn't a fluke, Pac-Man further cemented the world's arcade fever, and Zork showed us a different kind of video game.
Other discussion topics include Airplane!, Friday the 13th, The Shining, the Rubix Cube, and more.
