Yesterday, the Strong National Museum of Play conducted a livestream to announce the 2021 inductees into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Who was lucky enough to make the cut? This year will honor 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Starcraft, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Animal Crossing, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Every year, the Strong National Museum of Play sifts through thousa𒆙nds of video game submissions that hope to make it into the Hall of Fame. Of those submissions, three games voted by the public are placed on a ballot. Meanwhile, the rest of the submissions are chosen by members of the International Selection Advisory Committee. This committee is made up of journalists and scholars that 🌃are familiar with the video game industry.
This year, the committee 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:narrowed the field down to 12 titles:
- Animal Crossing
- Call of Duty
- FarmVille
- FIFA International Soccer
- Guitar Hero
- Mattel Football
- Microsoft Flight Simulator
- Pole Position
- Portal
- Starcraft
- Tron
- Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?
While only four of these remarkable are chosen, each of these games has had a great impact on the industry. For example, Call of Duty has earned 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:over $3 billion in 2020 alone, to become one of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:most successful franchises in video game history. Meanwhile, Mattel 🥃Football was one of the world's first handheld video games, paving the way for popular devices like the Game Boy and PS Vita. Plus, at one point it seemed everyone owned a copy of Guitar Hero (or Rock Band) and pretended to be rockstars in their living room.
Alas, only four could be inducted and the four chosen are definitely worth the honor. In particular, Animal Crossing had an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:amazing year last year thanks in part to the global pandemic that kept everyone indoors. The game brought people together whꩵen they couldn't physically be together. Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? is also having a pretty good time these days. Not only has the franchise spawned games and shows all over the globe, but a recent Netflix series is having the title see a surge in popularity.
The inductees this year join last year's, which included 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bejeweled,🐼 Centipede, Minecraft, and King's 💝Quest.
