I still don't understand how 2021 video game inductees are all games from the 90's or so
That's just a joke and makes no sense, rename the event or change your selection to coincide with the year it's named after
I grew up in Korea and so starcraft is basically the biggest game of all time
Pat, don't judge GH like you do. I talked MAD shit on it to anyone playing it. Then one day, bored with nothing to do, and no one around, I picked it up failed, and slammed the guitar down thinking how stupid this was… Play a REAL guitar if you wanna learn, I'd always say.
5 minutes later it bothered me that the game kicked my ass so bad, and I fought the fact that in the mere seconds I had failed, it was fun. F it. I try again. After failing 3 times on the same song, I finally passed it and it was a riot, I hated to admit it. I was SO WRONG about GH, we'd have late night sessions of jamming out to great songs, and I had such a riot battling people. (The lack of good/difficult songs led to its downfall imo.}
I loved that it has the ultimate flex like arcades with scores being integrated in it. Fast forward a few years ago, I'm in the top best scores of all time, and learned a whole new respect for music and how they function even if it's just a game and not like the real thing. Hell Post Malone wouldn't be here without GH even. It will always rank as one of the hardest and funnest games ever to me and I'm old school.
BTW I thought Football II on the handheld was so much better, my dad had it when I was super young. It was a much more polished game imo.
Nice podcast.
There was a game show for candy crush hosted my Mario Lopez. Not sure if it’s still on or not…. I can’t believe it would last long.
Was Street Fighter 2 already in there from a previous round of inductions, because I must have missed it if they mentioned it here.
Garbage plates are the best!!
Halo maybe
Sorry for being a know it all but You Don't Know Jack had a very short lived game show. Carmen San Diego was definitely the first that I know of.
Tell me where in time is Carmen Sandiego?
Stop her crime and solve this mystery
Tell me where in time is Carmen Sandiego?
We're on the case and we're chasing her through history.

I love tron. The games great the movies good but i honestly can't leave funspot without playing tron punch out. Pac-man. Or Galaga.,
But then again i must play chiller so my vote definitely doesn't count.
Any way go to funspot in Nh.
Not fun world fun world is a joke. FUNSPOT In laconia Nh.
I couldn't stand Carmen Sandiego. Probably because my home computer was more advanced than the grade school computers.
They've missed Big Rigs again. Same every year.
I played alot of Carmen Sandiego on old pcs in the library as a child. I would love to play them on my phone.
Animal Crossing, Call of Duty, & Pole Position definitely should be in the Hall of Fame. Guitar Hero was a fad. Mattel Football should also be in the Hall of Fame.
Wow, that Carmen San Diego theme song juat came rushing back, haven't thought of that in a long time.
9:31 Great commercial: "OH NO YOUR NOT….!"
huh, Farmville? should have gone with cookie clicker instead. Pole Position…. uhhh, maybe, I thought it was okay until super scalier tech of Sega's Outrun series. Unless they really want to push the whole multi media theme…. but, uh….. no
But Handheld Football, that's actually legit history! Keep that.
"Same game as Warcraft II" when Blizzard literally scraped the entire idea and started over because it was just Warcraft II and didn't work. But ya know, its still the same. XD It's all good Pat, we all have bad takes sometimes. 😛
Ian, were you born in Rochester? i was born and raised in the suburb of Greece!
Honestly this is stupid. Is there an award show for games getting into the "Hall of Fame" with their devs?. No. So what is the point of making a list every single year with less than a dozen games on it just because they were best sellers? Pointless.
I remember getting one of the football games in 1979 when I was in the army. Me and my buddies would sit around the barracks and play the hell out it. I wore at least one of them form playing it so much.
That take on Starcraft was pretty bad. As a little kid I tried Warcraft II and hated it. Starcraft on the other hand felt amazing. I think I still liked the Age of Empires games more but Starcraft was right up there. The story was awesome too.
Your content has been great lately and I can imagine it must be hard to maintain enthusiasm after all these years!
The string museum of play is amazing. We keep a season pass. For out of towners, that are building a hotel attached to the museum. My kids go bonkers there.
I watched both Carmen Sandiego shows in the 90s but I never played the games.
I remember the moment I had a similar realisation with The Sims. I was sitting at my computer watching my sim play computer games….. I wonder was he thinking the same thing about his video game 🤔
The players were the ones being farmed in Farmville. I find it disgusting that it's a finalist for the video game hall of fame. It's truly an exploitative "game". It was widely spread but it's not something that should be celebrated. It was more like a mind parasite.
Whenever I hear Carmen, I hear the song burned into my head.
wow im suprised tron is not in there already
I know there was a Sonic game show in Russia. Was called "Sonic – Super Hedgehog".
If farmville gets in, will that be the first dead game in the HoF?
starcraft hate = unsubscribed…
I bought a copy of call of duty for pc at a thrift store for like 2 dollars a couple years ago. By the time I figured out the hoops to jump through to get it running on Windows 10, I kind of lost interest. But I'll get back to it one of these days.
Guitar Hero? Is this a shovelware Hall of Fame?
Pffft…where is Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance for Nintendo??? 😤😤😤
Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, Star Craft and Carmen Sandiego make it in no doubt.
I think to say animal crossing on switch broke a console record is insane, u know I used to play psp on my tv, it’s still a record.
Madden has to be before fifa, then nhl, then nba live then 2k
Loved the game show on pbs
love carmen sandiego it totally deserves it
No Diablo for mobile?
I'm rooting for Carmen Sandiego to get into the Video Game Hall of Fame.
For Call of Duty normandy landing, I think you are actually referring to Medal of Honor Allied assault which did indeed blow people away. Easy to confuse as Medal of Honor Allied Assault was basically the predecessor of Call of Duty since it was essentially the same team that made both (Infinity ward was created out of the team that did Allied assault). What Call of Duty did differently was got rid of the FPS trope of being a one man army with no allies around, now you are a soldier amongst lots of other soldiers fighting a battle, that is what blew everyone away at the time, the normandy landing in Allied assault gave us a taste of that as you had other soldiers all around you, though later you were a one man army.
In terms of Starcraft, what made it revolutionary was the 3 races with completely different play styles and units. Warcraft 2 had almost the exact same units between the 2 factions. C&C actually did it first but SC took it to a new level. Not only that, but SC really brought online multiplayer RTS to the mainstream as C&c and warcraft 2 had very limited online support which you had to pay for to play more than 1 v 1.
