At The Strong Museum in New York City earlier this week, six video games were inducted into the World Video Games Hall of Fame – and not a single one of them is going to come as a surprise. First, here’s the fifteen that were nominated:
The six that were awarded the elite title are:
- Doom
- Pac-Man
- Pong
- Super Mario Bros.
- Tetris
- World of Warcraft
I can agree with all of those chosen, but I think that with World of Warcraft there, so too should Minecraft be. Both games became the source of myriad of clones, and each had their own massive playerbase. In a way, I almost feel like Minecraft deserves the place more than WoW, but both have been very important to our video game history.
What do you guys think?
