    #1 - Atari Jaguar: Part 1

    S4:E1

    The Nerd gives us a history on Atari's library of game consoles. Along with show casing most of the consoles Atari manufactured for the market. He mentions how with so many consoles to choose from in the gaming market, Atari had to come up with a console that would wow gamers. The Jaguar 64 was introduced to the public and was the first console to use 64 bits of graphics. It was Atari's last console to be made and it reminded gamers that great graphics doesn't always mean great games. The Nerd pointed out how the cartridge games for the console have handles for some...

    #2 - Atari Jaguar: Part 2

    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...

    #5 - X-Men

    S4:E5

    The Nerd pays his respects to the X-Men by reviewing their library of video games. He finds the two on NES to be inferior... it's LJN, what did you expect? And two on Sega that actually are pretty decent.

    S4:E6

    Being a big fan of the Terminator movies, the Nerd decides to give the video games a try.

    S4:E7

    The Nerd's arch-nemesis LJN strikes again. Having license all home console versions of the Terminator 2 game, the Nerd checks them all out, and while the NES game is okay, the Game Boy sucks and the SNES is virtually unplayable.

    #8 - Transformers

    S4:E8

    The Nerd lists all the different formats a gamer would play for video games, and then shows an unlikely format for the first Transformers game which is a cassette tape. It's for the cassette tape player for the Commodore 64 which gives you a playable game. However it's not what you'd expect for a Transformers video game. It's mostly a simulation game with target shooting theme levels. There was a slide scroller game made for Transformers except it's a Japanese only game. So the Nerd gets out the Famicon which is the only way to play the game and wonders if the game is...

    #9 - Mario Is Missing

    S4:E9

    The idea of Luigi being in his own game fore once sounded like a cool idea to the Nerd. Only to discover that "Mario is Missing" for the NES is a poorly executed educational game with borrowed graphics from Super Mario World. The Nerd didn't like the idea of Luigi being in a learning game especially one that has bad controls and missions that make no sense like New York being concern that King Kong was abducted. The Super Nintendo version is slightly better but still has unusual control schemes. Even the NES and Super Nintendo versions of "Mario's Time Machine" wasn't...

    #10 - Plumbers Don't Wear Ties!

    S4:E10

    Watch as the Nerd tackles one of the worst games of all time. "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" for the 3DO. A strange odyssey of a game consisting of still images, poor editing, poor direction, no story and worst of all, no game play! What were they thinking?

    #11 - Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle

    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!

    #12 - Super Pitfall

    S4:E12

    Pitfall for Atari 2600 was a classic, however the NES game Super Pitfall is a horse of a different color. The Nerd dislikes how the level layouts of the game make little sense such as ladders leading to no where and anti-gravity lakes with no bottom except for thin air. The Nerd's main complaint is almost all of the items are invisible and only appear if you jump on a certain spot. This becomes annoying when all you do in the game is jump around in every single area.

    The Nerd loves Godzilla, but unfortunately for him the movies were hard to find growing up and the available video games were all terrible. To his extreme dismay, he finds out all the good Godzilla games came out after he was an adult.

    #14 - Wayne's World

    S4:E14

    The Nerd isn't sure how any game company can create a video game based off of the movie Wayne's World when all the movie is just about two guys hosting their own show in a basement along with an abundance of jokes towards clichés that were occurring at the time. So the Nerd couldn't help but check out what the NES game is like. The game is already a big downer when there's a lack of good color and the Nerd's main complaint is that Garth has an effective weapon while Wayne just gives out a wimpy kick. The Super Nintedno version on the other hand is no improvement even...

    #19 - Little Red Hood

    S4:E19

    Out of all of the NES games in his collection, the Nerd decides to review the one that stands out like a sore thumb which has an unusual slot on top of the cartridge. Mainly because it's an unlicensed game much like the Noah's Ark 3D game for the Super Nintendo. The game is called Little Red Hood, which in no way does it resemble the original story. So the Nerd starts to play it and already could tell it's an abomination with putrid color schemes and unusual game rules. In fact the game has no organized rules when enemies re-spawn rapidly, items would sometimes...
