the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons is now in the National Toy
Hall of Fame.
Dungeons & Dragons, was praised for creating a system of imaginative
play that has entranced both kids and adults.
When it emerged in 1974, Dungeons & Dragons was groundbreaking, says
curator Nic Ricketts of The Strong. In addition to its own merits, the
game created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson established a pattern for
how similar role-playing games might work both on table-tops and,
eventually, on computers and
other devices.
As Ricketts says, the game's mechanics "lent themselves to computer
applications, and it had a direct impact on hugely successful
electronic games like
World of Warcraft."
