Last year, the Strong, aka the National Museum of Play in Rochester, N.Y., welcomed the inaugural class of the World Video Game Hall of Fame when it inducted Doom, Pac-Man, Pong, Super Mario Bros., Tetris and World of Warcraft. The institution already was home to the International Center for the History of Electronic Games and the National Toy Hall of Fame.
