Video Game Hall of Fame: 2015 Class
So, I only recently found out there is a Video Game Hall of Fame is Rochester, NY at The Strong: National Museum of Play.
Here are the inductees for the first class:
I had no idea that this existed, but apparently nominations are open for the class of 2016: http://www.worldvideogamehalloffame.org/nominate
It's awesome to me that video games now officially have a Hall of Fame. Video games have really come a long way as a medium, from the technology they use to they unique way they are able to tell stories and engage the user. It's neat to see that they are now getting a type of historical archive. Though, I am a little worried that since this appears to be a museum target towards children, recent games with heavier content that might deserve a nomination won't be acknowledged as kindly as say Pac-Man.
What do you think of the inaugrial inductees? Who is getting your vote for 2016 and why?
More information for anyone who is curious:
