So what does it take to even become a nominee to join the World Video Game Hall of Fame? According to the Strong Museum the games have to obtain icon status, must have been more than a passing fad, must have reached people across international borders and had significant influence on the design and development of games after its release. It should be noted that of the four criteria, the last one, influence, is the most important and a game can be inducted based on this one alone, even without meeting the other three criterion.


The World Video Game Hall of Fame already holds games like Tetris, Pac-Man, Tomb Raider and Grand Theft Auto III. The announcement for the Player’s Choice Ballot said, “The three games that receive the most public votes will be submitted on one ballot and will join the other top-three submissions from members of the International Selection Advisory Committee. The public will collectively act as one member of the committee.”



The winners that are set to be inducted into the hall of fame will be revealed at The Strong museum on May 2nd, 2019.
