About this listen

 Welcome, esteemed listener, to The Video Game Hall of Fame! Alex Aldridge, Rob Kirkup, Simon Pike and Stephen Andrews have created this definitely prestigious Hall of Fame in order to induct and celebrate the greatest games of all time. Every episode we'll set a category and each nominate a game within it for induction, but the final vote goes to YOU, the listener! Follow us on Twitter @VG_HOF to cast your votes.Video Game Hall of Fame Science Fiction

    62. 16-Bit Games
    Dec 10 2025

    We're back! After a brief hiatus (albeit one where we've recorded three pods and Alex just needs to get his arse in gear and edit them faster), we return to celebrate the golden era of gaming.

    That's right, it's time to dust off your SNES or Mega Drive (or Mega CD, TurboGrafx-16 or Neo Geo) and get 16-bits of glory in ya. So many classics to choose from, and we've got four bangin' nominees for you on this one.

    Go vote for the one you want in the Hall of Fame @VG_HOF on Twitter or @vghof on BlueSky. Send us an email to videogamehof@gmail.com

    61. Games With Ghosts
    Oct 30 2025

    It's Halloween again, and you know what that means! Yes, it means nobody on the podcast aside from Alex will nominate anything even remotely spooky on our spooky special episode.

    Other things happen:

    • Steve bails on yet another pod but almost makes up for it with a delicious pun in his phoned-in entry
    • Simon hears a ghost (that didn't come out in the recording... or did it?)
    • Alex steals Rob's pick
    • Simon tries to remember a TV show to do with sexy animals or something
    • The Shagger returns
    • Andy Cole leaves Newcastle for a British record £7m fee, that has even less context than this when it comes up on the pod


    Go now to @vg_hof on Twitter or @vghof on BlueSky to vote in the poll/like the post of the ghosty game you want in the HOF!

    Send emails to videogamehof@gmail.com but STOP BEING MEAN TO SIMON. First one to send us an email where they say something nice about Simon gets to nominate a 16-bit game for the next episode of the pod. I mean, it might not get in but you gotta shoot your shot.

    60. Bonus Inductions Special #6 + QUIZ!
    Oct 21 2025

    This is an absolutely mad episode. Loads of fun was had, and we're sure you'll have fun too. Alex does maths. Steve does sailors (again). Rob really wants to stroke a dog. Simon celebrates a birthday.

    We also induct four previous poll losers directly into the Hall of Fame, set up all the categories for the next 9 episodes, and answer an email from a new listener. You can email us too! videogamehof@gmail.com

    To help select the category we nominate games from in a couple of episodes time, all you need to do is go to @vg_hof on Twitter and/or @vghof on BlueSky and vote for it. See you next time for our Halloween special!

Love listening to these guys on the drive too and from work everyday! These guys clearly are passionate about video games and they have a wonderful chemistry between them which is really entertaining to listen to, and never fails to give me a good laugh.
Always look forward to a new episode!

Keep up the good work guys!
