The original PC adventure game, brought to us by Sierra, King's Quest would set the bar for many such games to come. In this game, you play as Sir Graham, on a mission to find three lost treasures of Daventry in hopes of restoring prosperity to the kingdom. You are left free to explore the game world at your leisure, and completing your quest relies on using wit and cunning to overcome the various obstacles in your path. The graphics and interface might seem very primitive by today's standards, but it was highly innovative when it came out in the early 80s. The game would later see a remake with improved graphics and a point & click interface instead of a text parser. This game would set the stage for not just many sequels by Sierra, but other series of adventure games by them including Space Quest and Leisure Suit Larry, as well as other companies such as LucasArts with Maniac Mansion and their Monkey Island series.]]></description>

No One Lives Forever is a 60s-era Spy thriller with an excellently-written comedic narrative. This feminist masterpiece features British Spy Cate Archer as savvy woman in a man's world. Though her own agency expects little from her due to her gender, she proves to be the most capable person on either side of this battle of good and evil.<br />
<br />
The game features very intense stealth action where you are challenged to think your way past cameras, armed goons, and even unfortunately-placed civilians. Though linear, the game features a number of collectables that require replaying levels, once you have more gadgets, to acquire. No One Lives Forever is charming and classy, and was certainly ahead of its time. During a time of many bland FPS clones, this game stood out from the pack.<br />
<br />
The game has received critical acclaim, receiving multiple game of the year awards and having many retrospectives written about it. This game did the spy genre correctly, and the fact that the protagonist is a well-portrayed female is just the sort of icing on the cake that this industry sorely needs.<br />
<br />
<br />
Please consider this game as an inductee to the Video Game Hall Of Fame.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One of the first breakaway hits from Capcom and a game that spawned the 19xx series is my nomination for the Hall Of Fame this go around. While not as popular as other games from Capcom that would be released later in the 80's this is a game the firmly planted a flag for Capcom in both the arcade and home console line.<br />
<br />
1942 is a top down, vertical scrolling shooter in which you pilot your plane "Super Ace" to attack Tokyo and in the process destroy the entire Japanese fleet. A bit of an odd twist as this game was made in Japan if you ask me. <br />
<br />
While graphically nothing special (the game was released in 1984), the game play is solid and challenging without being too difficult even for an arcade game. It was ported to several different platforms including the Famicom in 1985. Other systems include the modern Virtual Console, the MSX, NES PB-8801, Windows Mobile, Game Boy Color, PlayStation, Saturn, Xbox, PlayStation 2, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, the Commobore 64 and the PSP. <br />
<br />
The game easily surpassed the popularity of the previous games from Capcom, Vulgus, Sonson and Pirate Ship Higemaru. In 1987 the game was raked first on the Euromax UK Arcade chart, right above Wonder Boy. <br />
<br />
It was also the first title from Capcom to spawn successful sequels with five titles in the 19XX series released from 1987 to 2000.<br />
<br />
I have picked this game for my nomination for it's place in history as both a super successful and fun game in general, but also the first really successful release from Capcom. While the graphics, music, and "special effects" are very bland by todays standards and even were a little underwhelming at the time, the game play is solid and that is what has allowed the game to survive and thrive even now, over 30 years later. <br />
<br />
I humbly introduce 1942 as my nomination for the VG HoF: Class II.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Everyone who had a Super Nintendo knows Zelda: A Link to the Past. It took what the original Legend of Zelda did on the NES and ramped everything up to 11. The graphics were beautiful and still look good to this day, and the soundtrack is unforgettable. It was a natural evolution of the series and incorporated many interesting ideas such as a variety of useful items that drastically altered the mechanics. <br />
<br />
Below are some of the many accomplishments of ALTTP has had over the years (from Wikipedia).<br />
<br />
---<br />
A Link to the Past is one of the best-selling SNES games, with 4.61 million units sold worldwide, and has had an exceptionally long stay on Nintendo Power's top games list (ranking number 2 in Nintendo Power's last issue): when the SNES list was finally retired, A Link to the Past had more than five consecutive years in the number one spot.<br />
<br />
A Link to the Past was critically acclaimed upon release for its graphics and gameplay, and has since been recognized by critics as one of the greatest video games of all time. In 2005, IGN editors placed it 11th in its "Top 100 Games", while readers voted it to 5th place. The following year Entertainment Weekly chose it as the best game of all-time. Members of GameFAQs ranked it the 4th best, and readers of Japanese magazine Famitsu ranked it 31st in a 2006 poll. It also placed 3rd in Electronic Gaming Monthly's list, 23rd in Game Informer's, and 3rd in a best 200 Nintendo games list by Nintendo Power. In July 2007, readers of the magazine Edge voted it sixth in a poll of the 100 best games of all time. ScrewAttack placed it 2nd on their list of top 20 Super Nintendo games. GamesRadar named A Link to the Past the 3rd best Super NES game of all time, losing only to Chrono Trigger (2nd) and Super Metroid (1st). It was awarded Best Sequel of 1992 by Electronic Gaming Monthly. The game placed eighth (the second-highest Zelda game on the list) in Official Nintendo Magazine's "100 greatest Nintendo games of all time" list. In 2009, Game Informer put A Link to the Past 12th on their list of "The Top 200 Games of All Time", saying that it "remains a blast today".<br />
---<br />
<br />
Many who have played it call it the definitive Zelda game, and it's certainly one of the best and best regarded. It's on the top level of what video games are capable of and one of the best adventure/action/rpg games ever made. I remember when I first play it early on the SNES lifecycle, I was in awe. I had played and loved Mario World but after playing ALTTP, I felt gaming had truly reached the next level in terms of enjoyment and quality.<br />
<br />
I submit The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past as a Hall of Fame entry.]]></description>

<br />
The Oregon Trail is one of the most well-known educational games ever made. As a settler from 1848, you took your family via covered wagon from Independence, Missouri to Oregon. Through this strategic historical simulation, you had to hunt and trade over the long trip, while hoping to not succumb to disease, snake bite, river shenanigans, starvation, or any of the other horrible things that could happen to settlers of the era. Though, as a kid, many of the lessons of the game frequently went over their heads, one thing that almost every player learned was that trying to ford a river usually met with failure, and hunting buffalo, while easy, resulted in more meat than usable and always resulted in no buffalo when you critically needed them in the late game.<br />
<br />
The game has an immense legacy, spawning ports on many modern systems, such as the 3DS and Wii, historical spinoffs such as the Yukon Trail and Amazon Trail, and even a zombie apocalypse parody - The Organ Trail. This game still remains culturally significant and should be something every young gamer plays.<br />

<br />
<br />
The Megaman series has been a favorite of many a gamer. You fight cool robots, you can select them in any order you want, and you get their weapons after defeating them. This simple, yet consistent formula has made the series a lot of fun to play, and it owes its success to Megaman 2, released in 1988 for the NES.<br />
<br />

The Megaman series has been a favorite of many a gamer. You fight cool robots, you can select them in any order you want, and you get their weapons after defeating them. This simple, yet consistent formula has made the series a lot of fun to play, and it owes its success to Megaman 2, released in 1988 for the NES.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">Fallout, originally released in 1997 by Interplay Entertainment was a ground-breaking role playing game for it's time. Featuring a rich plot with memorable characters, social commentary, and moral choices to be made.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">While Fallout today may not seem like much, as it's difficult to run, slow to play, and not what newer entries to the series are like, it still holds a place in many players hearts. While some may say the later entries into the series play better, almost no one will argue that the story is better than those of the first two entries.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">Fallout used a control system similar to Blizzards Diablo, a simple point and click system to move. It introduced to the world the SPECIAL system, which determines the protagonists stats. SPECIAL stands for: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. These stats determine what your character can and cannot do, as well as determine what they are more skilled in. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">I personally feel that this game should be entered into the hall of fame for it's impact on the gaming world as a whole. Being rated as one of the best PC games of all time, Fallout deserves a spot in the Hall.<br />

Developer(s) 	Blizzard North<br />
Publisher(s) 	Blizzard Entertainment<br />
Systems            PC, Mac<br />
Genre(s) 	        Action role-playing, Hack and slash<br />
Release date(s) 	June 29, 2000<br />
 <br />
Diablo 2 followed up it's predecessor with an improved interface, graphics, and sound. At its heart, it's a hack and slash dungeon crawler. But it's so much more. It's a grinding loot filled adventure that you can bring your friends in with. There were local co-op games you can host, or you could use Blizzard's Battle.Net to join in with others.<br />
<br />
The game is mission based to progress; you can take on missions with others or go it alone. You choose from one of 5 (7 with the expansion) characters with totally unique abilites. Each character would be different because of the loot you acquire and equip and the trajectory of your skill tree. As you progress you level up and add to the skill tree in whatever way you wanted. <br />
<br />
Diablo 2 was phenomenon when I was in college. We would all band together to grind for better loot. Mephisto runs, Baal runs, experience runs through Act 5...all in the quest to make our characters better. It was that joy of making that character YOURS that held us. That time invested into them made unique to us and gave identity to the them, despite them having personalities of their own (outside of basic sound quips). <br />
<br />
I submit to thee, not the first, nor the prettiest game of its type.<br />
<br />
I instead submit to thee Diablo 2, the definitive hack and slash dungeon crawler.<br />

<br />
Fifteen years before Mass Effect, Star Control II is the prototypical adventure game in space.<br />
<br />
With incredible writing, music, and gameplay, this game is a true 10/10. Star Control II still holds up today - don't believe me, download and play it for free at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/urquanmastershd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://sourceforge.net/projects/urquanmastershd/</a>. <br />
<br />
Players get to explore the galaxy, traveling at their own pace, from star system to star system, gaining resources and meeting new races. The conversations with each race makes them unique and enjoyable. The galaxy is internally consistent - everything you need to learn about the galaxy is available without a guide, you can explore and converse and gain insight in every aspect of the game. The galaxy is dynamic - as you meet the races, you will be able to see their spheres of influence and watch as those spheres move, grow, and shrink, affecting your time in their areas of space. Combat is a fast and furious, top-down, space melee. Every race has their own unique ships that fight very differently.<br />
<br />
This game has done everything right and has yet to meet its equal.<br />
<br />
Please consider this game as an inductee to the Video Game Hall Of Fame.]]></description>

Give us a write up about the game and why you think it deserves a spot in the Hall Of Fame.<br />
<br />
When we've collected several nominations (depending on how many we get and how quickly), we will have a poll to determine the games that will be inducted.<br />
<br />
You can nominate multiple games but each one should have a post of its own for the sake of clarity.<br />
<br />
After out first batch of games are inducted, we will have some down time before starting the process again.<br />

Thank you.]]></description>
