The Strong National Museum of Play has selected its first-ever list of the World Video Game Hall of Fame. The winners — chosen on the basis of iconic status, longevity, geographic reach, and influence — are Pong, Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., Tetris, Doom, and World of Warcraft.
Each of these games needs almost no introduction, and they go back to beginning of the industry. The Strong is announcing the winners at an event at its museum today in Rochester, N.Y. I couldn’t join the ceremony, but I had the honor of being one of 21 game journalists and other experts who served on the selection committee for picking the top games.
