Video Game Hall of Fame: which games selected in 2022
Each year, several games join the Hall of Fame, the pantheon of video games. This is something achieved since 2015 thanks to the Strong National Museum of Play of Rochester, New York. The selection is made in two stages: an initial list of games is made following public votes, while the final selection is made by several journalists, specialists in the subject, and other individuals familiar with the history of video games and their role in society.
Regarding the list of twelve nominees of 2022, there is a rather surprising observation: there is no game appearing in the selection of 2021. It then included FIFA, Portal, Call of Duty, Animal Crossing, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Starcraft et Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Guitar HeroMattel Football, Pole Position, Farmvilleet Tron.

A justified choice every time. For example, for Dance Dance Revolution, video game curator Lindsey Kurano explains that the title was “a real revolution for the music game scene“Regarding Zelda Ocarina of Time, Digital Video Game Curator Explains”that even today, developers credit OoT for revolutionizing the way they make games“. Julia Novakovic, archivist, points out that “Ms. Pac-Man represented a turning point in the cultural conversation about the place of women in the arcade and in society at large.“.
On this subject, it is interesting to note that the entry of Ocarina of Time into the Pantheon marks a great first: it is the first time that two games from the same license have been registered in the Hall of Fame. The Legend of Zelda, the original opus, joined the prestigious venue in 2016.
