    #6 - Superman 64

    S3:E10

    The Nerd complies to his fan requests to review Superman 64 which he decided to pull everyone's leg by reviewing the Superman game for Commodore 64.

After that he does review Superman 64 for the Nintendo 64 as the fans wished him to do so in the first place. Once he dived into the first level he already finds it to be terrible when all you do is fly through rings under a short time limit. When it comes to video game...

    #7 - Action 52

    S5:E1

    After getting so many request to review Action 52, the Nerd has no choice but to give what his fans want. The game is an unlicensed NES game compiled with 52 games. This seem to be a cool idea, until the Nerd discovers what those games are. So he does a marathon run on the first 51 games and every single one either has characters dying in mid-air, characters too small to identify, too many space shooter genre games, games that make no sense, enemies that don't die, games that keep crashing, & whole bunch of other disastrous elements. After being tortured by only 51...

    #8 - Batman: Part 1

    S3:E11

    AVGN gets dressed up like Batman to review a series of games based on the Caped Crusader. First up, a Commodore 64 game, which sucks and is given "the Bat punishment." While he praises the NES adaptation of the 1989 movie and the SNES adaptation of Batman Returns, not to mention the SNES game of the Animated Series, he deems the Atari Linx and Sega CD games to be crap, but the worst of all is Batman Forever on SNES. As if all that weren't bad enough, one of Batman's arch-nemeses pays the Bat-Nerd a visit.

    S5:E2

    The Nerd reviews the 52nd game on Action 52 titled the Cheetah Men, which came with it's own single volume comic and a preview to a line of action figures that never got made. It looked like the best game cause all of the efforts seem to be poured into it the most compared to the other games. However the game isn't any better than the other 51 games. It suffers from unusual glitches and the attack moves are worthless to certain enemies. After finishing all 52 games, the Nerd decided to play the unreleased Cheetah Men 2 game. It's so rare that only 1500 cartridges were...

    The Joker holds AVGN hostage and forces him to play the NES, Game Boy and Sega versions of Return of the Joker. They all suck.

    S4:E24

    The Nerd does a history lecture on the Swordquest games which were not just your average Atari action genre games but were actually games used for a promotional contest where gamers have a chance to win actual treasures made of gold and other minerals. Only three games were made when it was planned to be a four game series. However due to the 1983 video game crash, Atari pulled the plug on the production of the fourth and final game and the two remaining contests never happened.

    S9:E3

    The Nerd talks about a game on the Sega Dreamcast, the final Sega home console, and while he doesn't have much beef with it, he gets to review a crappy Dreamcast game. Simply known as "Seaman," it's a game about the aquatic reproductive system (what can you expect from a game named after jizz), it's interactive, it's freaky, and the has the voice of Mr. Spock for some reason.

    S3:E7

    In honor of the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the AVGN reviews the games based on the original trilogy. Raiders of the Lost Ark on Atari, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade on NES, and naturally, they all suck. He does praise the Lucas Arts SNES release, which contains three much more faithful adaptations of the movies.

    S4:E2

    The Nerd reviews some of the Jaguar games, he saves his criticism for Cybermorph due to the obnoxious green female head and the fogging atmosphere you fly around in the game. Durign the second part of the review, the Nerd introduces us to the Jaguar CD add-on to the Jaguar. Like the Sega CD, it requires a Jaguar to play and it needs an AC adapter to work. The Nerd is clueless as to why it couldn't be it's own separate console, specially when hardly anyone own a Jaguar at the time. He was going to review some Jaguar CD games only the CD add-on won't work no matter what...

    S4:E11

    Bugs Bunny gets revenge on the Nerd by forcing him to play not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE Crazy Castle games! It's a pie-throwing, bomb-bursting, game-smashing, fist-flying, anvil-crashing, carrot-chomping, all-out bombastic barrage of loony proportions!
