Arcade Game - An In Depth Anaylsis on What Works and What Doesn't

If you thought the Ms Pacman cocktail arcade game was at the World Video Game Hall of Fame, you'd be incorrect. It's been on the shortlist for entry -- it had been on the shortlist both this season and last year. It hasn't made the cut though.
Actually, zero 1980s arcade games combined the Hall of Fame this year. Nevertheless, the judges did choose a classic 1990s arcade game. This was also to console games, a mid-70s text-based adventure game, and a game which has been packaged free from the Microsoft Windows operating system.

• Mortal Kombat -- this is the only arcade game to get in the World Video Game Hall of Fame at 2019. Through the years, various titles and versions of this game have been released on a range of different platforms. The first four incarnations, however, starting in 1992, were arcade only.
• Microsoft Solitaire -- packaged in the Windows operating system, it's been mechanically installed on countless computers across the world. Since 1990, it has helped office workers pretend to be active and is currently played 35 billion times a year.
• Super Mario Kart -- the most fun and popular racing game which was first published in 1992.
• Colossal Cave Adventure -- an obscure (compared to the other big video game titles mentioned in this article) text-based adventure game published in 1976. To perform it, you write commands and there are no graphics. The aim is to locate treasures and resolve puzzles.
