    #5 - Superman 64

    Loading...
    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. His main complaint is the load time takes forever and he finds the Commodore controller to be so stiff that he resulted in using an alternate controller. 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...

    #6 - Action 52

    Loading...
    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...

    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.

    #15 - Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout

    Loading...
    S2:E14

    The review starts off in the same fashion as a Looney Tunes short film. The Nerd reviews Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout which is nothing more than a poor man's Super Mario Bros. style slide scroller game. While the game is generous of providing extra lives, it however suffers from being unorganized by having breakable blocks placed over bottom-less pits and enemies that can hurt you even if you hurt them. Upon reviewing the game the Nerd is visited by Bugs Bunny himself, which the Nerd gives out his hatred by beaten the daylights out of the poor rabbit while trying to ...

    S2:E15

    The Nerd does a brief history lecture on General George Armstrong Custard, only cause he's about to review one of the adult theme games for the Atari 2600. The game in general is "Custard's Revenge" which like the other Atari adult games was unlicensed and the Atari company had nothing to do with them. And just for fun, the Nerd reviews other Atari adult games only to find that each one either made no sense in how the game play is mastered or how the ideas for the games looked like they were thought up by sick minded game developers.

    S2:E16

    The Nerd does a tribute to the magazine Nintendo Power by showing selected ads that were made exclusive to the magazine, the posters, the walk-through content, and the fan letters that are answered by the staff. The Nerd praises it for being the earliest way to know how to beat the toughest Nintendo games. Before the Internet became more common to use the only way to know how to beat a game is by magazine subscription. Besides the magazine being very nostalgic, the Nerd also points out some things that he finds absurd like how the posters are hard to take out, the ...

    Loading...
    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...
