MOMA is adding 14 video games to it's collection. ⇒

   29 November 2012, late morning

Over the next few years, we would like to complete this initial selection with Spacewar! (1962), an assortment of games for the Magnavox Odyssey console (1972), Pong (1972), Snake (originally designed in the 1970s; Nokia phone version dates from 1997), Space Invaders (1978), Asteroids (1979), Zork (1979), Tempest (1981), Donkey Kong (1981), Yars’ Revenge (1982), M.U.L.E. (1983), Core War (1984), Marble Madness (1984), Super Mario Bros. (1985), The Legend of Zelda (1986), NetHack (1987), Street Fighter II (1991), Chrono Trigger (1995), Super Mario 64 (1996), Grim Fandango (1998), Animal Crossing (2001), and Minecraft (2011).

Video games are art. Suck it, haters. I think their selection is quite good.

  1. maybe this will become the new post that gathers all the Animal Crossing discussion.

  2. That’s still one of the most popular posts on this site. That game really was fantastic.

  3. at one point I had wanted to get the golden watering can. But I focused on getting out of debt with Tom Nook first (too Asian of me). Once I’d managed that, I kind of lost motivation in the game.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
