MODERATORS
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
So I did a class on the art of the video game and MoMA (museum of modern art) has a number of them in their collection. There is even a Wikipedia article on it. Wikipedia Article
Pretty solid collection IMO. I am surprised they haven't included any RPGs (say one CRPG like Ultima 6 and one jRPG like say Final Fantasy 7).

"List all notable video game characters"
Oh cmon
Might as well ask someone to list the top songs of every year since the 80's.
Edit nvm it's not even characters, just games.
Pong is from like 1972.
Karateka, along with everything else Jordan Meschner did following it, starting the Prince of Persia series.
It's a nice evolution of personal style.
I've more or less dropped out of mainstream gaming so have no idea how the more recent Prince of Persia games play, nor if he has any involvement... but anyone who knew the original games should understand that these games did something foundational with movement and interface, helping the player to feel involved in the action.
the last prince of persia Meschner directly worked on was Sands of Time, which is imho well worth playing.
the other 3d Prince of Persias by ubisoft upto two thrones are still good games, but they lost a bit of the 1001 nights feel. The darker parts where there in sands of time, but warrior within goes all in on dark and edgy and just loses a bit of that timeless flair and is very much a mid 2000s game.
can't talk about ubisofts prince output after two thrones, they never found their way into my collection.
- Journey
- Shadow Of The Colossus
- Shenmue 1
- Half-Life 1 & 2
for a more "traditional paint" like experience, Gris is just gorgeous to look at
Doom, Minecraft and Touhou
Anthem
(For history purpose, just like there are museums for the Holocaust or the WTC)

Gris.
The original Star Wars Battlefront games. The best offline multiplayer I’ve ever had in a video game.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the Strong Museum of Play which contains the video game hall of fame
All of them.
Half Life Dead Space Minecraft Terraria Stardew Valley Uhhh...how do you do line breaks in comments? This looks like trash.
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.
Et for the Atari 2600
Doom OG
GTA 3
Pong, Pac-man, OXO, Mystery House, Super Mario, Battlezone, Wolfenstein, Doom.
The classic pioneers.
