    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

    Half-life, or any source game along with minecraft.

    One that comes to mind is The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

    Well it’s certainly not Elden Ring, and it doesn’t matter how pretty the Thumbnail is. No DLSS or any of the other options is frankly just laughable.

      You must have never went underground in elder ring. It is the most beautiful thing ive seen in a game.

      Objects in museums don’t have to be there because of the art, but also cultural/historical significance. Elden Ring and the rest of Fromsoft’s Soulsborne games definitely deserve to be in the video game museum.

      Do you think “art” only means “pretty pictures”?

      source
    • Waryle@jlai.lu ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      What a bad take. Do you also think the Seven Samurai movie shouldn’t be in a museum because it’s not IMAX?

      • Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        And there’s no CGI.

    • boonhet@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Ah yes, DLSS, the option to make your game look worse for better performance.

      It’s not a necessity for a good looking game.

      you have the worst taste maybe imaginable in games that you’re ‘opinion’ is futile lol

    Limbo.

    I really like the atmosphere. They created so much with such an minimalistic graphic style.

    Factorio.

    I don’t know where to start. Overall a great example that some people like to optimize and put way more effort into this game than their job. Zeitgeist?

    Spore, even if imperfect. Minecraft. Pong. Elden Ring. Rollercoaster Tycoon. Zoo Tycoon.

      Spore should be in there bit not for a good reason.

    Terraria, a monument to indie games and the craft itself, gave tons of free content and still does, unlike the popular pay for expansion models on a half finished buggy game of their contemporaries

      Oh my god I forgot about this one!! I would love to see something similar in today’s market or even an HD remake of the original.

        If only, but I did find a way to play my old cd a while back. Can’t say it aged well. Game was actually quite wonky. Most of the “secret mechanics” are pretty hard to trigger

    Tomb Raider.

      Isn’t the Louve pyramid already a reference to Tomb Raider ?

      Isn’t there an open source port of this?

    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.

      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 still have my copy in my own little museum in my office with some of my favorite (or in this case most notorious) games. Does that count?

      source
      • Thoath@leminal.space ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Yes, however the Smithsonian also counts, which is also where a cart is…and the Henry Ford museum…and the museum of Failure:3

    For me, it has got to be tetris. It is still thriving, even today. Anyone can understand the base concept and play it : it’s simple and enjoyable, anywhen. Plus, it runs on remotely anything.

    My then-girlfriend-now-wife and I went to a temporary video game exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image. A lot of the mainstays you’d expect were there, particularly from the arcade era, including ground-breaking titles like Dragon’s Lair (which is fascinatingly beautiful and a bad video game at the same time). At one point, one of the signs mentioned moving on from vector graphics, which my wife had no idea what that meant, so I immediately looked around for an Asteroids machine. You don’t really get how one of those games looks unless you’re playing on the genuine article. That’s the kind of thing that probably ought to be in a museum most.

    I recently went to Galloping Ghost in Illinois, which is now the world’s largest arcade. It’s got nearly every arcade game you can think of, and they do a good job fixing them up. They have an F-Zero AX machine. I’ve always wanted to play one of those. I went to Galloping Ghost two years in a row, and it was broken both times. Turns out they’re having trouble sourcing the displays. As you go around the place, most machines are working, but even only a year later, more of them had display problems. I imagine even just getting regular old CRTs is going to make this kind of thing way harder as time goes on, and a good CRT does affect how these old games look, because they were designed for them. This is the kind of burden I’d expect a museum to take on.

    Assuming a single game, Minecraft. It should be a kids museum style where you can build things. You can make each room a different biome or structure.

      I still mourne over what that game could have been.

        Meh, I mean the gameplay is nice but Bioware hasn’t been able to write a good game for more than a decade, I don’t expect anything from them anymore
