This photo provided by The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, N.Y., shows the 2024 inductees into the World Video Game Hall of Fame, located at the museum. Asteroids, Myst, Resident Evil, SimCity and Ultima were inducted, Thursday, May 9, 2024, in recognition of their influence on pop culture and the video game industry.

“Through endless variants and remakes across dozens of arcade, home, handheld, and mobile platforms, Asteroids made a simple, yet challenging game about blasting rocks into one of the most widely played and influential video games of all time,” said Jeremy Saucier, assistant vice president for interpretation and electronic games at The Strong museum, where the World Video Game Hall of Fame is located.

“At a time when many people thought of video games in terms of arcade shooters or console platformers, SimCity appealed to players who wanted intellectually stimulating fun on their newly bought personal computers,” Aryol Prater, research specialist for Black play and culture, said.
