New Video Game Hall of Fame Inductees [May 04, 2023, 7:19 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Strong National Museum of Play announces four new inductees into its
World Video Game Hall of Fame. The
list of nominees
included some influential first-person shooters, but after the votes were
tallied, Quake, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Goldeneye
007 remained on the outside looking in. The hall's newest members are
Barbie Fashion Designer, Computer Space, The Last of Us, and
Wii Sports. Here's word:
It’s official! Barbie Fashion Designer sashayed past the competition. Computer Space blasted its way to victory. The Last of Us outlasted the pack. And Wii Sports served an ace. These four games—which have influenced popular culture or the video game industry significantly—today joined the World Video Game Hall of Fame at The Strong National Museum of Play. They emerged from a field of finalists that also included Age of Empires, Angry Birds, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, FIFA International Soccer, Goldeneye 007, NBA 2K, Quake, and Wizardry. The games will be enshrined and on display in a new home for the World Video Game Hall of Fame slated to open June 30—part of a 90,000-square-foot expansion of The Strong.
Barbie Fashion Designer definitely deserves a Hall of Fame entry. It outsold Quake and Doom in the same yearly sales period. It launched the first wave of girls' games by proving that there was a viable games market for young girls.
