The video game hall of famers

The road from Space Invaders to Grand Theft Auto III is a long and winding one, but this week both were inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. They join last year's crop – Pong, Super Mario Bros, Pac-Man, Doom, World of Warcraft and Tetris – along with four other new inductees. The history of those games is also the history of how we play them. Pac-Man, for example, was first released in the arcades in 1980. It went from PCs to Game Boys to consoles.
