Deserved.

I feel like my list would have the first Legend of Zelda game though.  :laugh:

The Wiki page for this has a great summary of present and past winners.  Frankly, I'm shocked that Elite wasn't inducted this year.  That's still one of my all time favorites.  I still can't believe all the game functionality you got for just 48K-64K 8-bit machines.  And the NES port of it is amazing.  There's a couple Youtube deep dives on the technology used to bring that game to the NES - worth the watch.

Oh, just saw that Zelda was there in 2016. Didn't know about Elite though!
