How To Find Arcade Game Online

If you believed the Ms Pacman cocktail arcade game was in the World Video Game Hall of Fame, you'd be wrong. It has been on the shortlist for entry -- it had been about the shortlist both this season and last year. It hasn't made the cut yet, though.

This was also to games console games, indoor playground equipment a mid-70s text-based adventure game, and a game which was packed free in the Microsoft Windows operating platform.
Classic 1980s (and Pre-1980s) Arcade Games around the Shortlist but What Makes the Cut

These are some of the great 1980s arcade games which have cut at the Last hurdle this year:
• Ms Pac-Man -- a finalist for two years now so, hopefully, It Is Going to Find the recognition it deserves in future decades
• Centipede -- the 1981 award-winning classic from Atari that provided gameplay similar to Space Invaders but with insects instead of spaceships
• Asteroids -- the brilliant multidirectional shooter published by Atari in 1979 which was one of the first arcade games to achieve widespread popularity

The 2019 Inductees


What about the video games that did get inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame this year?
• Mortal Kombat -- that is the only arcade game to get into the World Video Game Hall of Fame in 2019. Through the years, various versions and titles of this game have been released on a range of different platforms. The first four incarnations, but beginning in 1992, were arcade just.
• Microsoft Solitaire -- packed in the Windows operating system, it's been mechanically installed on billions of computers around the world. Since 1990, it has helped office employees pretend to be active and is now played 35 billion times annually.
• Super Mario Kart -- the fun and still popular racing game that was first published in 1992.
• Colossal Cave Adventure -- an obscure (compared to another big gaming titles mentioned in this article) text-based adventure game published in 1976. To perform it, you write commands and there are no graphics. The intention is to locate treasures and resolve puzzles.
Hopefully, Ms Pac-Man gets her opportunity next year. You don't have to wait until then to play it though, especially if you've got your own arcade machine. Have a look at our range today.
