"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 started its reign of terror with a psychological horror game that paved the way for a successful long-running franchise."
"In 1986, Dragon Quest from Enix (now part of Square Enix) helped forge a template for modern roleplaying games. FIFA International Soccer, 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."
The Strong National Museum of Play announced its 2026 World Video Game Hall of Fame inductees: Angry Birds, Silent Hill, Dragon Quest, and FIFA International Soccer. Angry Birds, launched in 2009 by Rovio, became a global phenomenon through its catapult-based gameplay mechanics. Silent Hill, released by Konami in 1991, established psychological horror as a gaming genre and spawned a successful franchise. Dragon Quest, created by Enix in 1986, defined the modern RPG template. FIFA International Soccer, released in 1993, initiated Electronic Arts' dominant FIFA franchise, which remains the world's largest sports game series. These inductees join 49 previously honored games in the hall of fame.
