MIT will be celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2011, so the MIT Museum is running a poll to select 150 objects to represent the institute's history. Students, faculty members, alums, staff and other interested parties may vote for up to 10 items that have been nominated for the exhibition until January 1, 2010.
MIT's role in the development of videogames (and the role of games in MIT) should not be forgotten! Here are some of the game-related "things" that were nominated.
Spacewar!
Zork
Eliza
Tech Model Railroad Club
Mystery Hunt
Assassins' Guild
Metafield Maze
The Lurking Horror
If you agree they should be immortalized, vote for them! If searching for your favorite bit of MIT game history doesn't yield any results, you can make a new nomination. (I'm looking at you, Harmonix...)
Don't forget that THE LURKING HORROR is also on the list! (an Infocom game that takes place in a fictional version of MIT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lurking_Horror )
Good call! I've added it to the list.
