This year's inductees at the Strong World Video Game Hall of Fame include two big deals in the history of PC Gaming: Pioneering arcade game Computer Space and legendary late-90s hit Barbie Fashion Designer. They're joined by The Last of Us on PS3 and Wii Sports to make the class of 2023 inductees.
Computer space was the first true commercial videogame, released in 1971 as a coin-operated arcade cabinet and designed by Atari co-founders Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney with computer-makers Nutting Associates. While it wasn't a best-seller, or a real commercial success, it did bring videogames out of university and research computer labs and into the broader cultural sphere.
