The Strong National Museum of Play has announced its 15 finalist for induction into the World Video Game Hall Of Fame.. Those nominees are:Angry BirdsDOOMFIFAThe Legend of ZeldaMinecraftThe Oregon TrailPac-ManPokémonPongThe SimsSonic the HedgehogSpace InvadersSuper Mario Bros.TetrisWorld of Warcraft A pretty solid game list if I do say so. It was based off 4 criteria. Icon-status" (i.e., wide recognition), longevity ("more than a passing fad"), geographical reach, and overall influence (on games, entertainment, pop culture, etc.). I think Zork is solidly missing.. but otherwise can safely say i've played each and every one of these hits.. What do you think of this list… anything missing? #videogames #gaming http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/04/29/these-are-the-first-finalists-for-the-new-world-video-game-hall-of-fame/
