Welcome to the World Video Game Hall of Fame, GoldenEye 007! Released in 1997, GoldenEye 007 is especially known for its highly popular four-person multiplayer mode, which influenced many multiplayer games that followed. It was the third best-selling game for the Nintendo 64.

Welcome to the World Video Game Hall of Fame, Quake! Debuting in 1996, the first-person shooter’s 3-D engine became the industry standard, and its multiplayer mode helped spawn the world of esports. Quake’s game code influenced many other games and is used in some modern games.

Welcome to the World Video Game Hall of Fame, Tamagotchi! Launched in 1996, Tamagotchi bridged toys and video games. The game created a digital pet to nurture and raise and spurred the popularity of the pet simulation genre, yielding popular games like Neopets and Nintendogs.
