We have some new inductees. They were announced awhile ago, but I wasn't on top of it. My bad.

Here's what we got this year:



  • Grand Theft Auto III
  • Space Invaders
  • Sonic the Hedgehog
  • The Oregon Trail
  • The Legend of Zelda
  • The Sims

Yeah, that looks about right. The Sims is a bit of an eye-roller, but otherwise, these are pretty good choices.

Finalists that did not make the final cut: Elite, Final Fantasy, John Madden Football, Minecraft, Nürburgring, Pokémon Red and Green, Sid Meier’s Civilization, Street Fighter II, and Tomb Raider.

Honestly had to look up Elite and Nürburgring. The latter doesn't even have a Wiki article.

No sports game belongs on this list, and I can't believe they're even considered.

Ultima and Everquest came first. But WoW came and beat them both out :P Yeah yeah... Call it casual. It was compared to Everquest and Ultima. That's one reason it became so popular. Accessibility. Though Blizzard took that even further once WoTLK and Cataclysm came out.

Dark Souls does not belong up there. Maybe in, like, ten years.

It says "longevity", yea, but it didn't say it had to be a decade old.

There are still thousands if not more playing the original right now.

Can that be said about DOOM or the original Super Mario Bros?

Oh, absolutely. You're talking about one of the most famous games of all time right there. Retro gamers, dads still living in the 80s, and young children being taught about "the good ol' days of gaming," are all over the place, and a lot of them are playing games like the original SMB and the original DOOM. Not to mention speedrunners. And some people just genuinely like playing those games, regardless of the nostalgia value.

Dark souls still matches the criteria for nomination either way, prove me wrong.

- No icon status, except for in the eyes of neckbeard memers on /v/.
- Hasn't aged enough.
- It is not influential. It does absolutely nothing new as a video game. It takes a bunch of older ideas present in 80s and 90s titles and reintroduces them into the world of modern gaming. That's cool and all, but it's not groundbreaking.

Like I said--ten years or more, and maybe you could justify having it up there. Right now, it's just kind of a meme game.

World of Warcraft meets all of those requirements.

So does FFVII despite VII being overrated.

And yes, World of Warcraft is the newest title currently on the list. It was released in 2004.

So yes, I'd say the game has to be at least a decade old, or you're stretching the term "longevity."

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

People still make .wads for DOOM and DOOM II 23 years after its release. Romero himself made some for DOOM II not too long ago iirc.

World of Warcraft is in there, but I agree with Pokemon and Final Fantasy.

Minecraft is a meme game.

Minecraft remains popular because it's a legitimately good casual sanbox game.

WoW was inducted last year.

I'd expect Final Fantasy and Pokémon to be inducted next year. They had to induct Zelda first.

Minecraft isn't quite old enough yet, imo. Even then, I'd be hesitant to put it up there before some other things.

No Halo 2? Bullshit list
Because Halo 2 wasn't the first FPS to start the trend of "competetive" shooters. Many came before it, like Quake.
and CE lol

Halo 2 was the least skill intensive Halo. CE was a much better game.

I'm glad to see Sonic on the list. Even if the fanbase is beyond autistic, I still think the original 2D Sonic games were fun as hell.
