The Games For Change conference is coming up June 17-19 and although I can’t afford to attend (is a ticket really $560??), I found this great listing by our friends at Babycastles with a listing of their Games of Change Hall of Fame, a curated selection by Syed Salahuddin and Kunal Gupta.

Their selections are:

Hidden Agenda, a 1988 DOS game found here.

Lim, an online game by Merritt Kopas.

Papers, Please by Lucas Pope, photo above, where you act as an immigration inspector. For Mac or PC.

Vigilance, by Martin Le Chevallier, from 2001, for Mac and PC, that lets you play as the security guard in a camera booth watching crimes committed in public and allowing you to take action (or not).

Wait, by Lindsay Grace, who we profiled in the original Punk Arcade exhibit with his game Big Huggin’. In this game, the player is encourage to slow down, smell the roses, and play very minimally.

These and 5 more honorable mentions are listed in the Hall of Fame. Find out more and give them a try!
