The first two games games in this class are Zork I: The Great Underground Empire and Dragon Warrior.

Ign inducts games into the hall of fame every April and October each year.

The rules of getting in are the following according to http://games.ign.com/halloffame/criteria.html :

All games considered for the Hall of Fame must have been out for at least 10 years at the time of induction.

20 titles will be selected for induction during the initial launch of the Videogame Hall of Fame in April 2007. After launch, a maximum of 10 games can be inducted in each six-month period. If more than 10 titles meet the criteria, those with the highest percentages of “for” votes will be foremost considered for induction.

To limit franchise flood, only one title per series will be inducted per period.
