Donkey Kong, Halo: Combat Evolved, Pokémon Red and Green, and Street Fighter II joined 12 other games—including Sonic, Super Mario Bros.—which are on permanent display in the museum's eGameRevolution exhibit.

All rightfully earn their place too. For example, Donkey Kong is Nintendo's most profitable game to date and Halo has sold over 65 million copies worldwide.

As per the museum's site, the games selected were based on their iconic status, their continued popularity, their geographical reach and their influence on games development, entertainment, and pop culture.

Nominations for 2018 are already open and you can cast your vote here.
