This year's latest inductees into the World Video Game Hall of Fame are a quartet of influential titles. Ms. Pac-Man, Dance Dance Revolution, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Sid Meier's Civilization will be placed in the Strong National Museum of Play's hall of fame, standing alongside other influential games from history.

This year's selection beat Assassin's Creed, Candy Crush Saga, Minesweeper, NBA Jam, PaRappa the Rapper, Resident Evil, Rogue, and Words with Friends to receive top honors, and have had an impact on the video game industry, popular culture, and society in general.

For Ms. Pac-Man, its more sophisticated and challenging gameplay alongside a reimagined title character made it one of the five best-selling arcade games of all time, and it joins previous inductees Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II. With the character being replaced in recent releases--likely due to a legal issue--her induction is a great way to honor her legacy.
