Fallout and Fallout 3 win in the Smithsonian videogames poll

That thought doesn't change the fact that it's about the artwork.

Yes it does. It would exceedingly naive to discuss these titles as if they were actually voted in based on artwork, when they were voted in by way of public poll. I'm unaware of others getting a huge say in it after selection, but feel free to link to if they did.

The exhibit is about the artwork. The games selected to be in the poll were selected for their artwork, so any of them probably would have worked for the exhibit. I personally based my votes on games I thought had better artwork. I realize that not everyone did this. They probably picked their favorite games to play, but as I said, any of them would work. So it's fine to give the public a say. Yeah, I don't think a lot of people "got" what it's suppose to be about.
