The 2024 nominees for the World Video Game Hall of Fame have been announced by The Strong National Museum. This years list of nominees includes: Asteroids, Elite, Guitar Hero, Metroid, Myst, Neopets, Resident Evil, Tokimeki Memorial, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, Ultima, and You Dont Know Jack.

The finalists this year have the honor of competing to be in the 10th class of inductees to the World Video Game Hall of Fame, The Strongs International Center for the History of Electronic Games director Jon-Paul C. Dyson said in a statement announcing the nominees.

Even 10 years in, theres no shortage of deserving contenders that have had enormous influence on pop culture or the game industry itself. These games span decades. Asteroids is an icon of the late 70s arcade. Myst showed the potential of CD-ROM technology in the 90s. Neopets became a staple of browser-based, free games as we entered the 2000s. And Guitar Hero, which is less than 20 years old, has already proven its staying power.

With the nominees announced, voting is now open to the public to determine who this years inductees will be. Voting runs from March 14-21 with the inductees being announced during a ceremony on May 9.

Current games in the hall of fame include Pong, Wii Sports, StarCraft, Animal Crossing, and more. You can see all of the inducted games at the official website.

The World Video Game Hall of Fame is located at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY.

Tough choices, but Asteroids should make it in. Weird that it isn't already.

looking at their wiki page, it seems like out of the 12, 4 will be inducted:

edit: looks like it used to be 6, but now it'll likely be 4

Why does this need nominees and fan voting? Would anyone argue against any game being inducted? Lol

I guess it's a way to drive engagement and revenue or something?

looking at the wiki, it looks like some games are nominated for multiple years until they're finally inducted.

Same. It's among the first handful of games I've played and I like to think that game came free with some PCs bought in the 90's and early 2000s.

That game, battlezone, centipede, space cadet pinball, minesweep, etc. I played them a ton on my uncle's computer way back in the day when I was very young, and before I owned my own computer.

How many can make it? I think that
Asteroids
Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Resident Evil

are all locks. Guitar Hero, Ultima, and Simcity I'd like to see in too.

Hell, Neopets would be a solid choice as well, but for a browser game, Runescape should be in well before it, if it isn't in already.

What a weird way to do this. The public is just going to vote for whatever is the most popular and recent.

This. I just checked the Wikipedia page, fucking Animal Crossing made it into this video game hall of fame before Ocarina of Time.

What a goofy little list.

Barbie Fashion Designer got inducted last year roflmao. It beat:
Age of Empires, Angry Birds, CoD4:MW, FIFA International Soccer, Golden Eye 007, NBA2K, Quake, Wizardry

Barbie beating AoE, CoD, and GoldenEye? Did Mattel pay them? Barbenheimer effect perhaps? Even if you argued 'game for girl' another Hall of Famer, The Sims, would be a much better fit for that. What a joke

I doubt it has any chance of winning, but You Don't Know Jack will always have a special place in my heart.

I have some thoughts. If we are talking about the series as a whole sure go ahead with all of them. But even on their website their choices are just really weird. They make some great choices like FF7, and SMB 1. Why they have Sonic 1 instead of 2/3 I'll never know, as Sonic 1 didn't even have his signature spin dash. But again, that's just a personal choice.

Rock Band 1/Guitar Hero 3 > World Tour
Resident Evil 2 > 1

Every other choice is fine.

It should really be either Guitar Hero II or III. Those were the defining games that put Guitar Hero on the map. World Tour is good, but kinda on the downswing of the series popularity. I do kinda prefer Rock Band a little bit though. Rock Band 3 perfected everything, imo. Wish RB4 would've kept the keyboard.

For me it goes

Rock Band 3
Guitar Hero III
Rock Band II
Guitar Hero II
Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

That's not including the band specific games. If so, Beatles and Metallica are on the top there.
