The Strong National Museum of Play’s Video Game Hall of Fame has announced its 2017 inductees, including the likes of Halo: Combat Evolved, Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil.

Here’s this year’s full list:

  • Donkey Kong

  • Windows Solitaire
  • Mortal Kombat
  • Myst
  • Pokemon Red and Green
  • Portal
  • Resident Evil

Each title above was included for its cultural significance alongside its “undeniable impact in the world of gaming and popular culture,” said The Strong Museum’s Jon-Paul C. Dyson.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
