World Video Game Hall of Fame announces 2025 inductees


Game developers rejoice. Defender, GoldenEye 007, Quake, and Tamagotchi have joined the World Video Game Hall of Fame.

These four games—which have significantly influenced popular culture and the video game industry—emerged from a field of finalists that also included Age of Empires, Angry Birds, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Frogger, Golden Tee, Harvest Moon, Mattel Football, and NBA 2K. Says Andrew Borman, director of digital preservation, “Critics lauded GoldenEye 007 as the premier example of a first-person shooter to succeed on a console rather than a PC, and it is still considered one of the best multiplayer experiences ever produced on a Nintendo system. This year’s candidates also included Age of Empires, Angry Birds, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Frogger, Golden Tee, Harvest Moon, Mattel Football and NBA 2K.
