The National Museum of Play is once again accepting nominations, this time for the second class of inductees to the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Nominations are open until February 29, 2016, and the induction(s) will take place in May (also of 2016).

Selection Criteria

The World Video Game Hall of Fame recognizes individual electronic games of all types—arcade, console, computer, handheld, and mobile—that meet the following criteria:

  • Icon-status: the game is widely recognized and remembered.
  • Longevity: the game is more than a passing fad and has enjoyed popularity over time.
  • Geographical reach: the game meets the above criteria across international boundaries.
  • Influence: The game has exerted significant influence on the design and development of other games, on other forms of entertainment, or on popular culture and society in general. A game may be inducted on the basis of this criterion without necessarily having met all of the first three.

No Ultima games made it into last year’s class of inductees, so why not hit up the nomination form and do your part to get one of the series on the list for this year?
