The World Video Game Hall Of Fame was originally opened in 2015 and has added some of the biggest video games ever made, including classics like The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Bros., and Tetris. For 2023, they have announced that they have added four more games, including Barbie Fashion Designer, Computer Space, The Last Of Us and Wii Sports.

These four games emerged from a field of finalists that also included Age Of Empires, Angry Birds, Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, FIFA International Soccer, Goldeneye 007, NBA 2K, Quake, and Wizardry. The games will be enshrined and on display in a new home for the World Video Game Hall of Fame slated to open on 30 June 2023 as part of a 90,000-square-foot expansion of The Strong, one of the largest museums in the US.

The World Video Game Hall Of Fame at The Strong was established in 2015 to recognize individual electronic games of all types, including arcade, console, computer, handheld, and mobile, that have enjoyed popularity over a sustained period and have exerted influence on the video game industry or on popular culture and society in general. Anyone may nominate a game to the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Final selections are made on the advice of journalists, scholars, and other individuals familiar with the history of video games and their role in society.
