Strong National Museum of Play has launched the first-ever World Video Game Hall of Fame. That also includes the first class of six inductees from generations past, and some that are current, acording to the New York Daily News.

"This is our very first inaugural class so there were some games that had to go in before any of the others," associate curator Shannon Symonds told New York Daily News. "Like 'Pong,' which came out in 1972, some people hadn't even heard of video games before 'Pong' hit the arcade. So it was one of the most influential."

A special committee comprised of journalists, scholars and video game industry professionals chose the inductees, which were honored in a special ceremony in Rochester, New York on Thursday.

According to the World Video Game Hall of Fame website, those games are "Doom," "Pac-Man," "Pong," "Super Mario Bros.," "Tetris" and "World of Warcraft."

The organization claims to honor video games of all sort, which range from arcade to consoles, as well those played on computers, handheld devices and mobile. Whichever game that has retained pop-culture status and has had an influential role in the people's lives will be considered for the hall.

For those who wish to go to their website and nominate your favorite game you can do so here. Nominations for the Class of 2016 can be made by anybody and they will be accepted all the way through to March 2016.

Final selections for the Class of 2016 will be made in advance of the ceremony by the aforementioned committee. Many factors will be taken into consideration, which includes the role the game has played in society and its influence on popular culture.

The Strong Museum is centrally located in Rochester, New York, and is dedicated to the art of "Play," as it says on their website. That includes the history and exploration of the art as well.
