Hall of Famers
Since 2015, Rochester, New York’s Strong National Museum of Play has inducted games into its own World Video Game Hall of Fame. The list currently includes some of the best and most beloved titles of all time, including many of the obvious ones–like Super Mario Bros., Pac-Man, Pong, and The Sims–as well as some you might have overlooked like Barbie Fashion Designer and Colossal Cave Adventure.
We’re rounding up all 40+ of the games that the museum has inducted into its World Video Game Hall of Fame since inductions began in 2015.
The newest inductees include GoldenEye 007 and Quake, among others–check out the gallery below to see them all.
But what does it take to make it into the World Video Game Hall of Fame? The Strong Museum says its inductees have “enjoyed popularity over a sustained period” and have exerted their influence on the video game industry or on popular culture and society in general. The winners are voted on by a panel of experts from the video game field.
The World Video Game Hall of Fame inductees are on display at The Strong Museum.
