The Strong® welcomed six games into the inaugural class of its World Video Game Hall of Fame™.

DOOM

Pac-Man

Pong

Super Mario Bros.

Tetris

World of Warcraft

My predictions for the next round:

• Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
• Ultima
• Space Invaders
• The Legend of Zelda
• Zork
• Minecraft

Zork and Ultima are the only ones I really have any doubt about. If not them, then I'd guess they'd choose Angry Birds and SimCity.

Final Fantasy instead of Ultima. And The Sims instead of SimCity. And instead of Zork, The Oregon Trail. Given that kind of selection, it's a real wonder that neither Angry Birds or Wii Sports is on there. But they do have GTA III, Civilization, and Elite as unexpected finalists. Here's hoping they're inducted.
