1991 was the year when Silence of the Lambs swept the Oscars. It's one of only three movies that won the Big Five categories, that is actor, actress, writing, director and best picture. Another sweep happened at the Grammys, when Natalie Cole took home statues for Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Speaking of unforgettable art, Cheers won its fourth Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series. 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.
