ROCHESTER, NY — The World Video Game Hall of Fame announced this year’s 12 finalists Thursday up for induction.
The 2025 finalists are Age of Empires, Angry Birds, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Defender, Frogger, Golden Eye, Golden Tee, Harvest Moon, Mattel Football, Quake, NBA 2K and Tamagotchi.
Typically, four or five finalists are selected for induction each year. In the 11 years the Hall of Fame has been open, 45 games have been inducted out of 85 nominated.
The public can vote until March 13 here.
The World Video Game Hall of Fame is located at the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York.
“This year’s finalists span the decades and range from arcade classics to one of the most popular mobile games of all time,” Jon-Paul C. Dyson, director of The Strong’s International Center for the History of Electronic Games, said in a news release. “All of these games have enormously influenced pop culture or the game industry itself."
