Of course FFVII is probably the most revolutionary JRPG of all time so it totally deserves to be there. It's a pretty good game as well of course.

Sidenote but Tomb Raider is another great choice.

[Shauna]

It absolutely deserves this place.

[Example]

Definitely agree FF7 deserves it, not sure about Tomb Raider though, I probably would have chosen MGS instead.

Surprised it wasn't already in there, considering Call of Duty, Dance Dance Revolution and Half-Life were already in it.

[Elly]

agreed, FF VII and TR belong there... Spacewar should have been a year one inductee considering it's place in gaming history...

[Shauna]

Are they? The only list I can find from the Hall of Fame website is this one, which has none of them games on it:

Donkey Kong >
DOOM >
Final Fantasy VII >
Grand Theft Auto III >
Halo: Combat Evolved >
John Madden Football >

The Strong museum has announced this year's inductees to the World Video Game Hall of Fame (https://www.engadget.com/2015/06/05/world-video-game-hall-of-fame-inductees/) -- Spacewar!, John Madden Football, Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy VII. They were selected from 12 finalists that also included Asteroids, Call of Duty, Dance Dance Revolution, Half-Life, King's Quest, Metroid, Minecraft and Ms. Pac-Man.

Well those were finalists, but I would like to see Half-Life get in there for sure.

[Shauna]

Ah right. I missed that paragraph.

It's a rolling programme, I'm sure we'll see metroid and half life enter some day.

[Loony BoB]

Ohhhh, I misread, yeah, thought that list was those already in.

[maybee]

Now we just gotta wait for VI and IX to join VII.

[Foo]

Now we just gotta wait for VI and IX to join VII.

After Tactics of course.

VI maybe but I can't see IX joining.

Huh. Why not ? Because of it's low sales when it originally came out ?
