The New York Videogame Critics Circle announces plans to honor Brenda and John
Romero with the Andrew Yoon Legend Award tomorrow at 8:00 pm EST on
Twitch and
YouTube.
This will be a separate ceremony from their awards show, which will air on
January 26th, also on
Twitch and
YouTube.
They are not the only recipients of this award this year, as they honored Jerry
Lawson last week and will hand out another next week. Here's word:
The
Legend Award recognizes individuals and organizations that exhibit a
significant, sustained body of work that shows exceptional achievement and
innovation. Brenda and John, the ultimate creative couple, are honored with the
Legend Award tomorrow via Twitch and YouTube starting at 8 pm ET. Past
recipients of the Legend award include Reggie Fils-Aimé, Jade Raymond, Richard
Garriott, Todd Howard, Rockstar Games, Ralph Baer and earlier this month, Jerry
Lawson.
“We present Brenda and John Romero with our Andrew Yoon Legend Award, as both
Brenda and John have long, storied histories in games,” said New York Videogame
Critics Circle founder and board president, Harold Goldberg. “Yet they've never
been lauded together. It's time for that to change."
