Nominate Shenmue: The World Video Game Hall of Fame

The Strong National Museum of Play has just announced the inaugural members of its Video Game Hall of Fame. Games that chosen are put on permanent display in the museum’s eGameRevolution exhibit.

The selection criteria for nomination into the Hall of Fame are the following:

• Icon-status: The game is widely recognized and remembered.
• Longevity: The game is more than a passing fad and has enjoyed popularity over time.
• Geographical reach: The game meets the above criteria across international boundaries.
• Influence: The game has exerted significant influence on the design and development of other games, on other forms of entertainment, or on popular culture and society in general. A game may be inducted on the basis of this criterion without necessarily having met all of the first three.

Members of the public are able to nominate a game to be considered for this distinction and nominations received through the end of March 2016 will be considered for induction. Let us present the case that Shenmue more than meets the criteria to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and that it deserves to be placed on permanent display as a seminal work of creativity within the gaming industry.

There is plenty of time to create a swell of support for this nomination, and I feel that in conjunction with the monthly 'Tweetathon' this could be another tool at our disposal to put the series out into the public sphere in a relevant manner. Regardless of what happens next week at E3, there is no reason why we can't use stories such as this to highlight the series and the work that our diverse community has done recently.

Agreed, In fact in one of those optional sections which requires you talking about past experiences; I didin't even bother with it. I had a lot to write about for why the game should be nominated however.
