We missed the Halloween deadline because Alex went on holiday and forgot to transfer his audio to his MacBook, but we're belatedly here with an episode that isn't really spooky anyway.

Still, Halloween is all about pumpkins, so that's what all our nominees had to feature. If you hear a game nominated that you like, go vote for it to be in the Hall of Fame over @VG_HOF

Send us an email to videogamehof@gmail.com please!

Goooooooal! Touchdown! Boomshakalaka! Deuce! Oh, he's snookered him! That's icing! Cricket!

Yeah, it's an episode where we nominate four sports games for the Hall of Fame. Everyone's loved at least one sports game in their life, even if it's just Wii Sports like an old granny.

Go vote for the sports game you want inducted over @VG_HOF, and send us an email to videogamehof@gmail.com

Are you ready for an adventure? Good. It's adventure games this time. Not action adventure, you cheeky sod! Slow ones. Ones with puzzles and reading. Good ones.

Say hi @VG_HOF, SEND US AN EMAIL to videogamehof@gmail.com. Rate/review/sub etc etc.

Bye.

This was such a supreme bastard banger of a year, you'll be fuming at us for what we actually went with. Honestly still in shock at what Simon went for.

Make sure you head over to @VG_HOF on X and vote in the poll for the 2001 game you want in the Hall of Fame - the poll should be up right... NOW!

Please rate/review the pod on your platform of choice, tell your friends/enemies about it, and send us an email to videogamehof@gmail.com

...that aren't Halo: CE or Half-Life 2, because they're already in the HOF. Or Hades because Alex is still upset that one didn't get in. Same goes for House of the Dead.

Aside from that, enjoy a hell of a lot of hip and happening games beginning with H. That letter was randomly selected back in episode 30, so blame the algorithm or whatever.

Once you're done with the episode, go to @VG_HOF and vote in the poll for the game you want in the Hall of Fame and we shall make it so. Also PLEASE email videogamehof@gmail.com

"Moo." "Baa." "Vote Reform."

That's right, they're all noises that animals make, and that's handy because this episode sees us nominating games where you play as an animal.

Spoilers: Nobody picks a Sonic game. Prepare for a wild ride!

Go vote and tell us your animal game over @VG_HOF, and please send us an email about absolutely any old shit to videogamehof@gmail.com

By jove, here we ruddy well go, pip pip, innit blud, you filthy slag. That's right, this episode we're nominating games specifically developed or published in good ol' Blighty.

This has to be one of the most eclectic nominee groups you'll ever hear out of us, so drink it in like you're throwing limbs in 'Spoons, ya fackin' melt.

Go to @VG_HOF to vote on the one you want in the HOF, rate/review/subscribe on your pod platform, pull your knickers up and get me a cup of tea. Wanker.

Keep your stupid comments in your pocket... along with these handheld games! That's right, we're celebrating the pint-sized perfection that comes from holding a brilliant game in the palm of your hand while you take a monster shit to get away from the family for half an hour at Christmas.

Oh, and Switch games are banned from our selection pool because, c'mon, that's cheatin'. Now you go get your sweet candy arse over to @VG_HOF and vote on the nominated game from this episode you want in the Hall of Fame.
