Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum?

NFL 2K5. It would be a somber memorial, a pedestal bearing a single copy of the (Xbox version of) the game, with a single spotlight shining down on it from above as it rotated. An eternal flame, possibly several, burn nearby. The walls would be digital, montages of all the memories. There would be mournful orchestral music playing, heavy on the clarinets and oboes.

And a screen where it plays YouTubers comparing it to every version of Madden for a decade-plus after. Eventually finding Madden to look better, but always finding Madden lacking in features.

100% guarantee there are probably still YouTubers doing that in 2025. And you might be surprised how good it can look upscaled to 4K, if you haven’t tried it.

Didn’t even know that was a thing; that’s how long it’s been since I looked at it. Thanks!
