What do you refer to the eg Mario & Luigi games as? Where they’re turn based but rely on timed button presses and minigames for combat 🤔

I guess Undertale also falls into that category.

Mario & Luigi games are still JRPGs, which is a genre that’s more of a vibe than something easily defined. Here it’s a little easier because the series traces back to a major JRPG developer in the 1990s.

Even Expedition 33, another one with timed gameplay, is frequently getting lumped into the category (though that might change in coming years). That’s why I prefer the term Japanese-style role-playing games, as the genre is increasingly seeing game dev outside of Japan.

Some VRMMORPG examples are Sword Art Online or Shangri-La Frontier!

Anthem

(For history purpose, just like there are museums for the Holocaust or the WTC)

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

Black and White

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

Splintercell.

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.

Half Life Dead Space Minecraft Terraria Stardew Valley Uhhh…how do you do line breaks in comments? This looks like trash.

How about … All of them?!?

So many people in this thread just listing games they like and don’t know what museums are for.

Zanmato, 3 miesiące temu do gaming w A game, or series of, you believe belongs in a museum?

Devil May Cry, definitely! Something that begun as one of many RE4’s demos, ended up as an inspiration for other series, such as Bayonetta!

Dark Souls: it proved that gamers are still craving challenge and created its own genre as well.

Metroid & Castlevania: without them, we wouldn’t have one of the greatest genres of all time!

Onimusha: my favourite one. It’s a living proof that hope dies last. We’ll get another entry after 20 years! (Dawn of Dreams was released on 2006)

To get the obvious out of the way: Pacman, Doom 2, Starcraft, Simcity 2000, Civ 3. All genre-defining milestones.

Total Annihilation. They're still making sequels today (Supreme Commander, Beyond all Reason).

Warzone 2100 was the first 3D rotatable zoomable RTS which was pretty mind blowing at the time.

ChicoSuave, 3 miesiące temu

Civ 3? Outside of introducing strategic resources, it is difficult to think of what innovation Civ3 brought to the franchise. Civ 2? Absolutely. Civ 4? I can totally see it. What makes Civ 3 stand out?

If anything, Civ1 should be the milestone for creating a genre.

Civ 3 was the first one I played so it sticks in my mind the most, that's all. Any of the Civs would be fine.

I do feel like Civ 3 was a big step up in visual effects, though.

zod000, 3 miesiące temu

Civ 3 was the first game in the series that didn’t feel like a big improvement (graphics aside of course). but you always love your first Civ.

ramenshaman, 3 miesiące temu

Fuck yes Total Annihilation. BAR is already amazing and last time I played it it was still in alpha.

FigMcLargeHuge, 3 miesiące temu do games w what video game deserves to be in a museum?

Star Raiders for the Atari 400/800.

MunkysUnkEnz0, 3 miesiące temu

That was the first game that scared the shit out of me.

Granted, it was a jump scare, but it got me good…

zod000, 3 miesiące temu

I had that game for the Atari 2600 and unlike E.T, it was a great game.

LustyArgonianMana, 3 miesiące temu do games w what video game deserves to be in a museum?

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

Also Journey and Flower for different reasons

for a more “traditional paint” like experience, Gris is just gorgeous to look at

Great write up! There were a small number of items in the descriptions that I didn't know what they were, for example RNG and Eurojank

atomicpoet, 3 miesiące temu

RNG = random number generator. In gaming, this just means random chance. Whenever loot drops, critical hits land, enemies spawn, or dice rolls decide outcomes, that’s RNG at work.

Eurojank is a term for European-developed games (usually from Central or Eastern Europe) that are ambitious, creative, and full of unique ideas… but also full of technical rough edges.
