The blood-and-guts arcade game that triggered Congressional hearings and age-level game ratings, was inducted Thursday into the World Video Game Hall of Fame, along with “Colossal Cave Adventure,” ”Super Mario Kart,” and the ubiquitous “Solitaire” game built into Microsoft Windows.
The 2019 inductees were honored for their impacts on video gaming and pop culture, and their popularity over time and across countries.

The others in the running were: “Candy Crush Saga,” ”Centipede,” ”Dance Dance Revolution,” ”Half-Life,” ”Myst,” ”NBA 2K,” ”Sid Meier’s Civilization” and “Super Smash Bros. Melee.”

Mario Kart reinvented the racing genre. It absolutely deserves to be in.

Mario Kart became it's own thing, and thankfully we still have the atypical racing genre.

I wouldn't freak out about who's in or out at the moment. They just started doing this a few years ago and they didn't want to shoot their wad and immediately induct like 300 obviously worthy games instantly.
They're parceling them out a few year by year so it will take awhile before even all the slam dunk ones are inducted.
I hope at that point they still keep it somewhat exclusive. These Hall of Fames of all varieties have a tendency towards bloat over time.

Just started in 2015. It's part of the "Strong National Museum of Play" in Rochester, NY.

I went there it was some dudes house. It might be in a strip mall now.
Edt: yep that is it, in Frisco. Seems like they added a lot of finished exhibits since I visited.

Half Life deserves to be in over every game on that list save for the two MKs.
