Games pioneers Shigeru Miyamoto and Nolan Bushnell also got their stars on the Walk of Game in the Lifetime Achievement Category. Miyamoto is the creator of such iconic games as Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong. Bushnell was one of the co-founders of Atari and created the game Pong.
Every year, Walk Of Game accepts votes in the categories of Game/Character and Lifetime Achievement. The top four Games/Characters and the top two lifetime achievers are inducted into Walk Of Game and have a 24"x 24", customized star installed on the floors of Metreon. 2006 nominations will be announced in late 2005.
