If you thought the Ms Pacman cocktail arcade game was at the World Video Game Hall of Fame, you'd be wrong. It's been on the shortlist indoor playground for sale entrance -- it had been on the shortlist both this season and last year. It still hasn't made the cut though.
Actually, zero 1980s arcade games combined the Hall of Fame this year. That said, the judges did select a timeless 1990s arcade game. This was in addition to games console games, a mid-70s text-based adventure game, and a game that was packaged free in the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Classic 1980s (and Pre-1980s) Arcade Games on the Shortlist but What Makes the Cut

These are a Few of the great 1980s arcade games which have cut in the Last hurdle this year:
• Ms Pac-Man -- a finalist for 2 Decades now so, hopefully, It Is Going to Find the recognition it deserves in future years
• Centipede -- the 1981 award winning classic from Atari that provided gameplay like Space Invaders but with insects Rather than spaceships
• Asteroids -- the brilliant multidirectional shooter published by Atari in 1979 that was one of the very first arcade games to achieve widespread popularity


• Mortal Kombat -- that is the only arcade game to get in the World Video Game Hall of Fame at 2019. Over the years, various titles and versions of this game have been released on a range of different platforms. The initial four incarnations, however, beginning in 1992, were arcade only.
• Microsoft Solitaire -- packaged in the Windows operating system, it has been automatically installed on billions of computers around the world. Since 1990, it has helped office employees pretend to be busy and is now played 35 billion times annually.
• Super Mario Kart -- the most fun and popular racing game that was first published in 1992.
• Colossal Cave Adventure -- an obscure (compared to another huge gaming titles mentioned in this article) text-based adventure game released in 1976. To perform it, you compose commands and there aren't any graphics. The intention is to find treasures and resolve puzzles.
Hopefully, Ms Pac-Man gets her opportunity next year. You do not have to wait until then to perform it though, especially if you have your own arcade system. Have a look at our range now.
