Today I was in Washington DC, and I saw an exhibit at the Smithsonian Art Museum that was going to end tomorrow, and it was called "The Art Of Video Games" and you'll never guess what I saw. Worms! Lots of worms! Four to be exact:

Also, they had this room where they had a bunch of systems, and they listed four different games for each system, and for the N64, they listed Worms Armageddon! (It's the last one):

Note: I did not take these pictures, I had no way of taking pictures when I was there.

I think we already discussed that several moons ago.
There has also been an online voting for the games to be exhibited.

Quite weird that they used W:A as prime example for the N64 platform.
One could think that the Mario 64 was a better one.

Anyway, nice to see actual images of the exhibition itself.
BTW, those Worms pictures are concept art/wallpapers from Worms 2.

That might explain why they used Mario 64 as a better one.

Well, they listed 4 different games four each system, unsurprisingly, Mario 64 was the first one. (At the top)
