Superman (NES) – Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

Bad games will never be faster than a speeding Super Nerd, as he reviews two bad video games based upon Superman, made for the Atari 2600 and NES. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 50.

Since his print debut in 1938, Superman has become one of the most recognizable and beloved fictional characters of all time. It is inevitable that game companies would try to give players a Man of Steel simulation in some form.
Throughout the history of Superman games, balancing his near-invincibility with the need to provide a legitimate challenge has yielded peculiar results.
Here, the Nerd shows us two of the best-known Superman games (for the Atari 2600 and NES) to assess whether Krypton should be crapped on. He closes by teasing the next episode… one of his most-requested reviews of all time.

Bible Games 2 – Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… unless you’re the Nerd. Instead of watching heart-warming Christmas specials, he’s playing some more bad games of biblical proportions, and the strange Christian-themed games just keep coming!

First up is Noah’s Ark, developed by Contra developers Konami and released in 1992 for the NES. Wrap your head around that one! After that, we’ve got Sunday Funday, a religious rehash of Menace Beach, a game where you play as a skateboarder who’s trying to save his girlfriend from gangsters before she gets stripped naked. How developers Color Dreams were inspired to turn this into a Christian game defies common sense. And just when you think it can’t get any worse, the Nerd busts out the baddest of the bad – Bible-themed games on the CD-i!

If you were hoping for peace and love this Christmas, you might be watching the wrong video. So spike your eggnog and grab your stockings, ’cause the Nerd is going to town on these awful games!

Indiana Jones Trilogy – Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

The Nerd dons his leather hat and whip, and delves into the holy grail of bad video games, as he looks at a collection of games based on the Indiana Jones film series, made for the Atari 2600, NES and SNES. This is Angry Video Game Nerd episode 48.

Indiana Jones. A pop-culture icon and legend. One of the first heroes for generations of nerds worldwide. Originally released in 1981, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark was a smash success. With Harrison Ford in the lead hot off the Star Wars Trilogy and George Lucas teaming up with Steven Speilberg it was a perfect storm for a phenomenon.

Naturally, the franchise would get a video game treatment to capitalize on the success of games and the movies at the time. In this installment, the Nerd reviews to Atari 2600’s very cryptic and surprisingly dense Raiders of the Lost Ark game.

With the continued success of the movies the sequels also got 8 bit renditions. We also take a look at the Temple of Doom on NES, as well as the Last Crusade for NES. There is some hope as the Nerd ends with a mini-review of the SNES Indiana Jones Trilogy which finally gets the platform version right.

NES Accessories – Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

The Nerd reviews several accessories for the NES to find out how good or bad they are, including the NES Zapper and Power Pad, the Konami LaserScope, the Brøderbund UForce, and the LJN Roll & Rocker. He also spends some time finding out what the Super Scope for the SNES is like to play games with. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 47.

Back in 1985, the NES helped to revitalize the video game industry following the crash of ’83. Nintendo set the standard when it came to video game consoles with this 8-bit home entertainment console and was the first to endorse third-party development. This, of course, led to many games — and, the subject of this video, accessories designed to enhance the player’s experience with their games. Some were good — such as the NES Max or the Zapper, though a lot more were terrible. Today, The Nerd looks at some of the worst, or lesser-known, and determines whether or not they perform as expected — such as the Konami Laser Scope and the LJN Roll ‘n’ Rocker, and of course, hilarity ensues.

Frankenstein – Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

Halloween has arrived, and the Nerd is green with anger at finding out that there are bad video games on the NES and SNES that have been based on another horror legend – Frankenstein. With the aid of a very special-guest reviewer to share in the misery, The Nerd has dug-up three not-so-classics from the 8 and 16 bit era which are clunkier then the main protagonist they feature. He’ll be going green with re-appearing bosses, knock-off Street-Fighter moves and infuriating password screens. Enough to make anyone wish theyd never been born (again).
He’ll also discover that the monster he’s created isn’t just sat with him on the couch but embedded deep within his soul, forcing him to carry on torturing himself with terrible games until it destroys him. He should really have listened to Doctor Waldman…..
