World Video Game Hall of Fame announces 2024 inductees
The World Video Game Hall of Fame announces its class of 2024 inductees today at a ceremony at The Strong National Museum of Play.
These five games—which have significantly influenced popular culture and the video game industry—emerged from a field of finalists that also included Elite, Guitar Hero, Metroid, Neopets, Tokimeki Memorial, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and You Don’t Know Jack. Aryol Prater, research specialist for Black play and culture, said in a statement, “Simulations are some of the oldest forms of video games, but few have had the popularity, influence, or staying power of SimCity. At a time when many people thought of video games in terms of arcade shooters or console platformers, SimCity appealed to players who wanted intellectually stimulating fun on their newly bought personal computers.”
