Legendary Gaming Titles Return to the World Video Game Hall of Fame for a Grand Induction Ceremony!
The Strong National Museum of Play will be hosting the return of the World Video Game Hall of Fame induction ceremony for the first time since 2019. The event will take place at 10:30 a.m. on May 9, in the new World Video Game Hall of Fame rotunda.
The 2024 Hall of Fame class has been announced, and it includes games from four different decades of gaming. The nominees include Atari Asteroids, which was played on coin-fed consoles in arcades in the 1970s, and Guitar Hero, which gave living-room rockers the chance to compete on a plastic guitar when it was released in 2005.
Other games that are being considered for induction into the Hall of Fame include Elite, Metroid, SimCity, Ultima from the 1980s and titles like Myst, Neopets, Resident Evil, Tokimeki Memorial, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and You Don’t Know Jack from the 1990s. These games are being recognized for their longevity, geographic reach and influence on video game design and pop culture.
The World Video Game Hall of Fame was established by The Strong in 2015 to honor games that have had a significant impact on the world of gaming.
