🎮 2025 Theme: The Nineties
The 1990s marked a turning point for both global culture and games. As digital technology rapidly advanced, 3D environments, CD-ROMs, and online gaming transformed how we played. The decade saw the rise of iconic titles like Doom, Tomb Raider, Pokémon, and The Sims, alongside breakthroughs in tabletop RPGs, collectible card games, and German-style board games. It was also a time of increasing academic interest in games, with early debates in game studies taking shape.
History of Games 2025 invites reflection on the technologies, genres, aesthetics, and cultural shifts that defined games between 1989 and 2001.
