Tamagotchi and Defender among World Video Game Hall of Fame inductees
The World Video Game Hall of Fame on Thursday inducted four honourees, paying tribute to games that challenged players and changed the industry.
Making up the Class of 2025 are: Defender, the 1981 arcade game that raised the bar on difficulty; Tamagotchi, the digital pets that bridged toys and video games; GoldenEye 007, whose four-person mode influenced multiplayer games that followed; and Quake, which debuted in 1996 with a 3D engine that became the new standard for the industry.
