MODERATORS
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the Strong Museum of Play which contains the video game hall of fame
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
Karateka, along with everything else Jordan Meschner did following it, starting the Prince of Persia series.
It's a nice evolution of personal style.
I've more or less dropped out of mainstream gaming so have no idea how the more recent Prince of Persia games play, nor if he has any involvement... but anyone who knew the original games should understand that these games did something foundational with movement and interface, helping the player to feel involved in the action.
the last prince of persia Meschner directly worked on was Sands of Time, which is imho well worth playing.
the other 3d Prince of Persias by ubisoft upto two thrones are still good games, but they lost a bit of the 1001 nights feel. The darker parts where there in sands of time, but warrior within goes all in on dark and edgy and just loses a bit of that timeless flair and is very much a mid 2000s game.
can't talk about ubisofts prince output after two thrones, they never found their way into my collection.
Star Raiders for the Atari 400/800.
I had that game for the Atari 2600 and unlike E.T, it was a great game.
That was the first game that scared the shit out of me.
Granted, it was a jump scare, but it got me good....
Spore, even if imperfect.
Minecraft.
Pong.
Elden Ring.
Rollercoaster Tycoon.
Zoo Tycoon.
Pokémon Green.
Spore should be in there bit not for a good reason.
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

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Sexy Beach 3
The original Star Wars Battlefront games. The best offline multiplayer I’ve ever had in a video game.

The Binding of Issac. Hands down my favourite game and a work of pure dedication.
All y'all be honest with yourself. The answer is the prestigious league of legends.
