In February the International Center for the History of Electronic Games (ICHEG) at The Strong National Museum of Play announced plans to create a World Video Game Hall of Fame -- with plans to induct several iconic, influential, long-lived games. The public was invited to nominate games; the first group of finalists, both old and new, has been revealed, as pictured above.
Angry Birds
Doom
FIFA
The Legend of Zelda
Minecraft
The Oregon Trail
Pac-Man
Pokémon
Pong
The Sims
Sonic the Hedgehog
Space Invaders
Super Mario Bros.
Tetris
World of Warcraft
The inductees will be announced in a ceremony at the museum on June 4. For more information on the games included, you can read the ICHEG's release.
The museum has of late done a great deal to preserve game history: It's amassed collections from classic publishers such as Broderbund, Atari, SSI, and a massive library of classic Japanese games.
