"New York's Museum of Modern Art is hosting a video game exhibit beginning in March 2013 with installments of 14 initial games, featuring Pac-Man, Tetris, Myst, Katamari Damacy, Dwarf Fortress, Portal and Canabalt, among others.MoMA eventually wants to incorporate 40 games into the show, with a wishlist including Asteroids, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Grim Fandango and Minecraft. Games are chosen based on a \"tight filter\" that covers behavior, aesthetics, space and time, meaning the \"selection does not include some immensely popular video games that might have seemed like no-brainers to video game historians,\" Senior Curator Paola Antonelli writes.\"Are video games art?\" Antonelli asks herself. \"They sure are, but they are also design, and a design approach is what we chose for this new foray into this universe.\"Check out the full list of 14 below, along with a few more from MoMA's wishlist.&amp;bull; Pac-Man (1980)&amp;bull; Tetris (1984)&amp;bull; Another World (1991)&amp;bull; Myst (1993)&amp;bull; SimCity 2000 (1994)&amp;bull; vib-ribbon (1999)&amp;bull; The Sims (2000)&amp;bull; Katamari Damacy (2004)&amp;bull; EVE Online (2003)&amp;bull; Dwarf Fortress (2006)&amp;bull; Portal (2007)&amp;bull; flOw (2006)&amp;bull; Passage (2008)&amp;bull; Canabalt (2009)Antonelli writes: \"Over the next few years, we would like to complete this initial selection with Spacewar!
