NFL 2K5. It would be a somber memorial, a pedestal bearing a single copy of the (Xbox version of) the game, with a single spotlight shining down on it from above as it rotated. An eternal flame, possibly several, burn nearby. The walls would be digital, montages of all the memories. There would be mournful orchestral music playing, heavy on the clarinets and oboes.

And a screen where it plays YouTubers comparing it to every version of Madden for a decade-plus after. Eventually finding Madden to look better, but always finding Madden lacking in features.

100% guarantee there are probably still YouTubers doing that in 2025. And you might be surprised how good it can look upscaled to 4K, if you haven’t tried it.

None. Video games are brainrot

Every opinion is valid and people can disagree with it. But have you considered that there are museums of torture devices, or substance abuse. In that spirit what are the games that could should be remembered as a cautionary tale? For me it would be heroes3, minecraft, rimworld. These took most of my life (rotted most of my brain).

I was actually just kidding. I don’t do much gaming myself, but I don’t actually believe games to be brainrot. As for games that should be forever remembered, Club Penguin gets my vote. Minecraft was kinda fun, until I suddenly started getting headaches from field of view or whatever it is (screen speen, no good for head).

I loved it and played against my little brother on one keyboard constantly, that was fun!
Too bad that the follow-up game went through developer hell, took ages and looked and played like shit :-(

The Binding of Issac. Hands down my favourite game and a work of pure dedication.

Everything 1Upsmanship puts on their “Celestial Hard Drive”.
Or, Minecraft.

Shadow of the Colossus is the first that comes to mind. I’d probably toss in Final Fantasy VII, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and DOTA 2 because I’m addicted to it

I think the better question is what about games deserves to be in a general history museum? The advent and changes of technology and the implementation is far more important than the examples of it in use. There are very few games on their own that would qualify as “culturally impactful” to the greater world by their sheer existence. (Mario, Pokemon, and Tetris immediately come to mind).
If we are talking about a “video game museum/exhibit” then the list broadens a lot, but it’s less about the “what” and more the “why” that needs focused.

Street Fighter, Mortal Combat, Sega Rally, Unreal and also Unreal Tournament

If I had to be stuck in a timeloop, I might pick being in high-school, late night, losing untold hours to Unreal Tournament until the sun came up and/or I occasionally fell asleep at my computer. Or maybe the LAN parties from that same time.

I loved getting that damned smiley-faced flak (secondary fire mode) in the face…made me LMFAO every time, and just brought a smile to my face now ☻. Domination was awesome!
