If you were a fan of zapping aliens with lasers while playing Space Invaders, you’ll probably be pleased to hear it is one of the classic games that has been inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame.
Inductees in the class of 2016 honoured at The Strong museum in Rochester, New York, also included The Oregon Trail, along with Grand Theft Auto III, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda and The Sims.

The Strong established the hall last year to recognise electronic games that had longevity and influenced the gaming industry or society.
