The museum that houses the National Toy Hall of Fame is establishing a World Video Game Hall of Fame.

The Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY says the video hall announced Tuesday will recognize electronic games of all types: arcade, console, computer, handheld and mobile. The toy hall of fame will provide the model for the video version. Anyone will be able to nominate a video game, and an internal advisory committee will choose finalists. An international selection committee of experts will choose inductees from there, based on four criteria: icon-status, longevity, geographical reach and influence.

So get your best story together about how PL dropped on you (or how you dropped on others) and nominate here!!

A few key items I mentioned in my submission

  • EVE Monument
  • Fan Fest (even though I have yet to attend one)
  • CCP's development cycle and how it keeps the game exciting
  • How CCP actively engages with the players on a daily basis.


*I hope this is the correct place for this*

In the corner there will be a large tub of salty water labeled "results of emergent gameplay in highsec".




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Saw a news link on my phone, but they didn't have a link and I didn't have the time to go look for it. Can't wait to go nominate eve! And hopefully go see it in the Museum.

Will definitely be nominating. Hell, I followed this game for years before I ever actually signed up to try it. That's gotta count for something.

EVE Monument. Wow. Gee. That's almost as thrilling as having your name go way high up in the air, then falling into an Icelandic volcano crater. "Emergent game...whatever"? That's like "Fords from Santa Claus" - quite imaginary...
believe in ghosts do you?

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

You mean you don't enjoy your own tears unironically? WOW is that way.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

I am 100% behind this. The criteria they use easily allows us as players to provide amazing reasons as to why EVE is deserving of a place in this Hall of Fame.

I don't believe in inducting people or things into halls of fame until they're dead. I heard EVE has a history of this...

Yeah, but EVE is dying...so maybe by that time, it's finally gone silent..

This game doesn't deserve it. Not by a long shot. And the company that makes it deserves it even less, at least the way it is today. EVE is just a good template for a VR sandbox, and is only tolerable because there's no alternative in existence. Rewarding a monopoly is stupid and obnoxious.

And I'm saying all of this as someone who's been here for a decade, and has defended the game countless times against various naysayers.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

I think it won't fit in a large tub in a room, has to be at least an Olympic size swimming pool.

Now now, don't go upsetting our benevolent house ghost. Of course he's real. We do live on a medieval village location after all so should have at least one ...

I vote for the one I think to deserve the 1st place, not for the one I like to play at the moment.

Therefore I will vote for world of warcraft .

Because of obvious reasons, such as a not limited to, a much wider range of world population have played it/ plays it.


As much as I like eve, I once liked world of warcraft as well, and I believe it deserves the first place of all games.

If not, then maybe counter strike.
