1990 is now but a memory of an eggy old time – but in keeping with Zapped to the Past tradition we now take a look back and cast a weepy and often twitchy eye over the all the games we have played from the issues of Zzap magazine from January to December 1990. The purpose of this crazy scheme – to award those games that have somehow managed to impress or entertain us with our annual Golden Breadbin Awards. Did something have the best visuals? Was there a best game? How many worst games can there be? There is only one way to know for sure…
