If you thought the Ms Pacman cocktail arcade game was in the World Video Game Hall of Fame, you would be incorrect. It has been on the shortlist for entry -- it was on the shortlist both this season and last year. It still hasn't made the cut though.
Actually, zero 1980s arcade games combined the Hall of Fame this year. Nevertheless, the judges failed to choose a timeless 1990s arcade game. This was in addition to games console gamesconsole, a mid-70s text-based adventure game, and a game that was packed free in the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Classic 1980s (and Pre-1980s) Arcade Games around the Shortlist but Which Missed the Cut

The World Video Game Hall of Fame is handled by The Strong's National Museum of Play.
These are some of the great 1980s arcade games which have cut at the final hurdle this year:
• Ms Pac-Man -- a finalist for 2 Decades now so, hopefully, It Is Going to get the recognition it deserves in future years
• Centipede -- the 1981 award winning classic from Atari that provided gameplay like Space Invaders but with insects Rather than spaceships
• Asteroids -- the brilliant multidirectional shooter published by Atari in 1979 that was among the first arcade games to achieve widespread popularity

The 2019 Inductees


What about the video games that did get inducted in the World Video Game Hall of Fame this year? Here they are:
• Mortal Kombat -- that is the only arcade game to get into the World Video Game Hall of Fame in 2019. Through time, various titles and versions of the game have been released on a range of different platforms. The first four incarnations, but starting in 1992, were arcade just.
• Microsoft Solitaire -- packaged in the Windows operating system, it's been automatically installed on billions of computers across the world. Since 1990, it has helped workplace workers pretend to be busy and is now played 35 billion times a year.
• Super Mario Kart -- the fun and still popular racing game which was first published in 1992. It features characters from the Mario Bros video game franchise and has been published on several consoles and platforms.
• Colossal Cave Adventure -- an obscure (compared to another big video game names mentioned in this article) text-based adventure game published in 1976. To play it, you compose commands and there are no graphics. The intention is to locate treasures and solve puzzles.
Hopefully, Ms Pac-Man gets her opportunity next year. You do not have to wait until then to perform it however, especially in the event that you've got your own arcade machine. Have a look at our range now.
