Doublevision (Part 2) ColecoVision – Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

In part 2 of 2, the Nerd reviews the ColecoVision and plays the games that were made for this console, including Montezuma’s Revenge, Cabbage Patch Kids: Adventures in the Park, Chuck Norris Superkicks, and War Room. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 45.

The console was released in August of 1982 and offered some of the best looking console versions of arcade games that had been seen at the time. One of which was a deal with Nintendo to have Donkey Kong as its “in box” title. The console has a library of over 145 games and by Christmas of 1982 had sold over 500,000 units.
With the video game crash in 1983, however, the sales in the industry dropped dramatically not being able to recover from the market crash. Even with sales in upwards of 2 million consoles in its lifespan, the Colecovision was officially discontinued in 1985.

Doublevision (Part 1) Intellivision – Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

In this part one of two special, the Nerd looks at the Intellivision and the games made for it, including Utopia, Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, and also takes a look at two games designed for the Intellivoice Voice Synthesis Module.This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 44.

In part one of this two part review the Nerd takes a look way back to the 1980’s. With the introduction of the Atari 2600 in 1977 and its success, other companies decided to throw down with Atari and try to capitalize on this new market. This first of these efforts was the Intellvison by Mattel Electronics. The Intellivision was test marketed in 1979 and officially released in the US in 1980. The system sold over 3 million units and had a library of over 125 games. In 1982, there was even the Intellivoice adapter that put speech in the game (B-17 BOOOOOOMBER) and also the introduction of the Intellivison II which had detachable controllors and a more sleek design and even the ability to play Atari games with the Intellivision console (WHAT?). Unfortunately, with the video game crash of 1983 and a saturated market of competition Mattel Electronics closed its doors for good, taking substantial financial loss. In 2009 the Intellivision was named the 14th greatest video game console by IGN.com. Join us in part two when we take a look back to the Colecovision.

The Wizard Of Oz (Super Nintendo) – Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

The Nerd is wishing he was not playing another bad game, as he reviews The Wizard of Oz for the SNES. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 43.

The Wizard of Oz is one of the most beloved movies of all time. The 1939 film starring Judy Garland was a milestone in special effects, make-up and the fantasy genre in general. It also featured one of the most innovative and memorable instances of technicolor in film. It’s creativity and long lasting impact has made it one of the most culturally significant movies ever made.

54 years later the movie was adapted into a video game for Super Nintendo. Instead of capturing the magic of the film, it was a massive disappointment featuring confusing level layouts, poor character attacks, and a glitch which makes the game virtually unplayable. It included basic elements from the movie, but also had its fair share of random components, like the enemies which included killer water faucets, a cat-cactus and a giant crow wearing a vest.

In this episode, the Nerd grits his teeth through one of the most frustrating gaming experiences he’s had since Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He also gets an unexpected visit from the Cowardly Lion himself! (Played by Mike Matei)
