Video Game Hall Of Fame Inducts First Class

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Ari Shapiro with the latest entries into the Hall of Fame - not rock 'n' roll or baseball. This is the inaugural class of the World Video Game Hall of Fame. It includes legends such as "Pong," "Super Mario Bros." and - recognize this song? - "Tetris." Some superstars got snubbed such as "Zelda" and "Pokemon." "Angry Birds" was also passed over, which could explain why those birds are so - well, you know. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Recent threats to federal funding are challenging the way stations like JPR provide service to small communities in rural parts of the country.
Your one-time or sustaining monthly gift is more important than ever.
