The Strong National Museum of Play has announced this year’s World Video Game Hall of Fame inductees and, as ever, they’re all worthy additions. Angry Birds, Silent Hill, Dragon Quest<\/em> and FIFA International Soccer<\/em> make up the class of 2026.<\/p>\n Since it debuted in 2009, Rovio’s Angry Birds series has seen people finding joy in using a catapult to fling furious feathered friends at pigs taking shelter in fragile structures. A decade earlier, Konami’s Silent Hill<\/em> started its reign of terror with a psychological horror game that paved the way for a successful long-running franchise.<\/p>\n In 1986, Dragon Quest<\/em> from Enix (now part of Square Enix) helped forge a template for modern roleplaying games. FIFA International Soccer<\/em>, released in 1993, was the genesis of Electronic Arts’ blockbuster FIFA series. It remains the world’s biggest sports game franchise, though EA no longer holds the FIFA license.<\/p>\n The other games that made this year’s shortlist were Frogger, Galaga, League of Legends, Mega Man, PaRappa the Rapper, RuneScape, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/em> and Tokimeki Memorial<\/em>. This year’s inductees join 49 other influential games in The Strong’s World Video Game Hall of Fame, including last year’s additions of GoldenEye 007, Quake, Defender<\/em> and Tamagotchi<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
