Electronic Games Arcade Awards - 1992

What happened in 1992? Quite a lot!
Bosnia Herzegovina declares independence, starting the war we all know about.
The Maastricht treaty is signed and the European Union is officially born.
Microsoft releases Windows 3.1: the DOS era is slowly coming to an end.
1992 also gave us some video game classics such as Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (one of the best point & click adventures ever made) and the very first Civilization (thank you Sid Meier).
