The Angry Video Game Nerd is an adult web television series of comedic retrogaming video reviews created by and starring James Rolfe. The show's format revolves around his commentary and review of older, but unsuccessful video games which are deemed to be of particularly low-quality, unfair difficulty or poor design. The series began as a feature on YouTube and later became a program on ScrewAttack Entertainment before moving to GameTrailers exclusively. The show was renamed The Angry Video Game Nerd to prevent any trademark issues with Nintendo and due to the fact he started reviewing games from non-Nintendo consoles such as those made by Atari and Sega. Rolfe's character, "The Nerd" is a short-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from excessive and inventive use of anger, profanity, and habitual consumption of alcohol while reviewing video games.
"For his first Christmas review, the Nerd decides to review a few unlicensed Bible games for the NES and Super Nintendo. The most obscured game of the bunch would have to be Super Noah's Ark 3D. Only cause it's the only first person shooter where you get to play as Noah. The game is basically a clone of Wolfenstein 3D which is a better first person shooter to play. The Nerd is confused as to why there are so many goats inside the ark and the reason for Noah to be attacked by goats is a mystery."
"The Nerd concludes his CD-i review with the two remaining Zelda games. The first one is Link: The Faces of Evil which has all of the same problems as Wand of Gamelon had. While the final game the Nerd reviews is Zelda's Adventure, which he praises it for not having the same bad animation as the first two games and is now an over head view like the earlier Zelda games instead of a slide scroller game. However the game still suffers with an abundance of flaws such as poorly detailed backgrounds making it hard to know what is an opening and what isn't. The CD load time ..."
"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..."
"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..."
"The original Metal Gear is hailed a classic by video game buffs and is considered to be one of the best games on the NES. The Angry Video Game Nerd, however, begs to differ."
"The Nerd reviews the very first home video game console in existence: the 1972 Magnavox Odyssey. Watch as he and a hilarious special guest play the most primitive of video games ever created."
"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."
"Being a big fan of the Terminator movies, the Nerd decides to give the video games a try. He dislikes the NES game for not offering enough lives, having no continues and being put together in a sloppy way. The SNES version sucks too. However, he praises the Sega CD game for its awesome soundtrack."
"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."
"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..."
"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..."
"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?"
"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!"
"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."
"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..."
"In honor of the Halloween season, the Nerd decides to treat himself to the Castlevania series by reviewing every game for the Nintendo, Super Nintendo and even Nintendo 64. First, he pays his respects to the original Castlevania, a game that always seems to creep into his subconscious."
"Continuing his Castlevania marathon, the Nerd decides to revisit the horrors of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest by doing a fresh, new review of it. He also tackles Castlevania III, which he feels was a true sequel to the first installment."
"The Nerd continues to revisit the Castlevania games. In this one, he covers Super Castlevania IV. He also covers the dreaded Nintendo 64 Castlevania game."
"It's the final part of the Nerd's Castlevania marathon, so he decides to cover Bloodlines and Symphony of the Night. He also discusses the future of Castlevania."
"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..."
"It's the middle of winter at the Nerd's house, and to keep himself occupied from being cold is by reviewing Winter Games for the NES. The Nerd explains how the Winter Games for the Atari 2600 was fun, however the NES version is inferior due to it having only four winter Olympic game events and has a bad control scheme. The biggest complaint the Nerd has for the game is the figure skating game in which no matter what buttons he presses he is unable to achieve any good skating moves and always receives a 0.0 for a score despite managing to pull off a few good skating ..."
"What better way to kick off the year 2010 than by playing Street Fighter 2010? The Nerd strives to beat this ridiculously hard game that has nothing to do with the Street Fighter series, and as a bonus, he plays not only the Sega Saturn adaptation of the Street Fighter movie, but he actually manages to find and play the original Street Fighter game! And as you might expect, they all suck."
"Within the NES collection of the Nerd lies a game called Hydlide, the pronunciation of the name is debate-able. The Nerd points out that while the game looks like a rip off of Legend of Zelda, its actually older than Zelda. It was originally released as a computer game but got re-released for the NES at the wake of the first Zelda game. Excluding the similarities to Zelda, the game is nothing special. The Nerd's main complaint is the confusing selection of options on the menu screen and the use of long passwords in order to beat the game."
"Ninja Gaiden is one of the Nerd's favorite games, but its extreme difficulty has prevented him from beating it. This game is so hard, you'd have to be a ninja to beat it. The Nerd seeks one out, who trains him in the art of overcoming difficulty and sharpens his skills. However, this game might prove to be more than a match for the wise old master."
"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."
"The Nerd does a lecture on the game Pong a very simple concept for a game that ended up spawning to many spin-offs and remakes. In this case he reviews every single Pong console he can obtain. Most of these console don't have insert slots for games because the games are already programmed into the consoles themselves. Most of the consoles would either not work properly or have unusual features during the game play. The most obscure consoles are the ones that don't have an AC adapter outlet which makes hooking the consoles up a big chore."
"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..."
"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 Nerd is about to enjoy playing the NES Pac-Man, only to discover that it contains game glitches. He tries to blow the dust out of it and even try playing it on different NES consoles, but nothing worked. When this sort of thing happens, the Nerd knows it's the work of the Glitch Gremlin. A tiny little gremlin who is the main cause of all game glitches. Upon trying to get rid of the gremlin, the Nerd discusses several games that contain glitches after being released in public. These glitches can make the games more interesting or make them a lot more helpful upon..."
"The Nerd is surprised to get a lot of requests to review the second Zelda game which he comments is a good game. But decides to review it since the game was known for being harder than the other entries in the Zelda franchise. The main complaint the Nerd had was the constant encounters with the enemies which happens too often during the over world exploration. While the only way to progress further in areas you need a walkthrough in order to beat the game. In the end the game is a hate it or like it game and the Nerd could see that Nintendo tried to separate the..."
"The Angry Video Game Nerd reviews the Back to the Future video games and also revisits Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (NES), Top Gun (NES), Back to the Future (NES), and Back to the Future Part II & III (NES)."
"After being surprised that people ignored his warning and played the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde game for the NES. The Nerd reluctantly decides to revisit the game to give it a more explored review on it. But the idea of re-playing the game makes the Nerd feel uneasy about it. As he starts off playing the game he points out a few tips on how to play the game longer, except doing so is a real chore. While the obstacles in the game still make no sense, like how Jekyll has no defense yet Hyde does. The armada of townsfolk and random animals attacking Jekyll makes the game..."
"The Nerd randomly picks a Super Nintendo game to review which turns out to be Lester the Unlikely. The Nerd knows that the game isn't going to be fun just by seeing the main title screen and the intro. What perplexes the Nerd is that Lester is a wimpy guy who can't attack with anything but a puny kick, unable to with stand jumping from a high place, and is afraid of almost everything he encounters. To make matters worse, the levels of the game look like they're design for a more playable plat-former game with a character that isn't as weak as Lester. In the end the..."
"The Nerd who appears only as an illustration is frustrated that the citizens of Gameville have all the good games, while he is stuck with the bad games. So the Nerd decides to ruin the citizens of Gameville's Christmas by replacing their presents containing good games with really bad games. He does this in the same style as the Grinch complete with Narrator and a singer who sings a parody of You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch. Upon his heist, the Nerd gives off some very brief reviews on random bad games and pointing out what makes them so bad."
"The Nerd reviews a NES game called Day Dreamin' Davey which features a very bland story about a kid who keeps falling asleep and is amazed by basic objects. The Nerd's main complaint about the game is the constant reusing of only three dream worlds which are a Medievil World, Roman World, and the Wild West. While the levels themselves have no logic when it comes to item locations and the number of hits it takes to kill an enemy. This game is so bad that the Nerd would rather dream of playing a better game than Day Dreamin' Davey."
"The Nerd who appears only as an illustration is frustrated that the citizens of Gameville have all the good games, while he is stuck with the bad games. So the Nerd decides to ruin the citizens of Gameville's Christmas by replacing their presents containing good games with really bad games. He does this in the same style as the Grinch complete with Narrator and a singer who sings a parody of You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch. Upon his heist, the Nerd gives off some very brief reviews on random bad games and pointing out what makes them so bad."
"After a 6 month hiatus, the Nerd is back. And to honor his return to reviewing bad and challenging games, he decides to review some Schwarzenegger games for the NES. Mainly due to Schwarzenegger returning to acting after finishing his term as Governer. When it comes to Arnold, his action films are always appealing to watch. As for video game adaptations it's the complete opposite. They either don't feature the main character to resemble Arnold or the game-play and level layouts are a complete mess. The Nerd saved all of the criticism for the Predator game for the NES...."
"After doing an autograph signing at a convention, the Nerd receives a petition to review the NES game Ghost N' Goblins. While he comments that it's not a bad game, he does however admit that it's one of the hardest NES games to play. So the Nerd decides to review the game since it's Halloween related. As he's playing it he expresses that the fair thing about the game is that you're given unlimited continues so that way you don't have to keep restarting the game. The biggest flaw to the game however is that you're on given two life bars of health and that's it. While ..."
"The Nerd has for a while not done a review that's entirely dedicated towards sports games. The reason being of course is that he's not a big sports fan, he's a video game nerd to be exact. After getting requests to do a review on sports games, the Nerd complies to his fans by playing Atari sport genre games. Mainly cause those are the first sports games made for a home console. Most of the games don't resemble the actual sport either due to the limitation of graphics or due to the unusual rules that don't occur in a real life sport. Despite that the Nerd found most of..."
"The Nerd reviews Ikari Warriors for the NES. While the game at first appears to be a decent shoot 'em up game it's actually a really hard game to go through unless you have two people playing the game. Desperate to beat the game, the Nerd revives Guitar Guy who has been dead for sometime by using the Ikari Warrior continue code. The Guitar Guy is surprised to be alive again and originally believed that the Nerd had forgotten him cause the original theme song hasn't been used for so long. The Guitar Guy agreed to help Nerd beat the game if he can play the main theme ..."
"The Nerd reviews the Toxic Crusaders games for the Gameboy, Genesis, and NES. The games are so bad, he invited over the creator himself, Lloyd Kaufman to witness how bad they are. Lloyd, who is very proud of his Toxic Avenger movies, agrees to play the games. However, when he and the Nerd play the NES version, they couldn't handle the complicated levels and game play. The idea of having a select button for the stronger attack move baffles the Nerd and Kaufman."
"After clearing up the 7-year mystery of Taxman, the Nerd looks at an abundance of Tiger Electronic handheld games. You remember those, right? Basically a poor man's Game Boy? But those were only the beginning..."
"In light of the Halloween season, and to promote the Cinemassacre's Monster Madness reviews of the Alien franchise, the Nerd reviews Alien 3 on NES. So how does it fare? It's made by LJN. 'Nuff said."
"In an ironic change of pace, the Nerd decides to review video games based on himself. Yeah, over the years, an abundance of AVGN games have been created independently by aspiring game designers. As a special tribute, the Nerd gives them each their 15 seconds of fame."
"This Christmas, the AVGN takes us back to the past... before internet, and you had to buy things out of store catalogs. It's a holly jolly dose of nostalgia as the Nerd remembers back to all the Nintendo, Atari, VHS and action figures we all asked Santa to bring us. Also, he does some mini-reviews of bad Sonic games. Part 1 of 2."
"Concluding his little Christmas wish-list tribute to the fans, the Nerd reviews some more big requests, like the Three Stooges, Boy and His Blob, Home Improvement on SNES, and a GOOD Spider-Man game. The biggest surprise and the biggest Christmas miracle of all time occurs when the Nerd discovers who made that awesome Spider-Man game."
"Due to popular demand, the Nerd breaks away from console games and decides to review a PC game from the current millennium. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing - more like Over the Road Disgracing."
"After ten years of reviewing crappy games, and yet another one about driving a bus through a desert for 8 hours, the Nerd considers giving up the ship...until he makes a miraculous discovery."
"Here's the review everybody's been waiting for: E.T. for the Atari 2600. Taken right from the AVGN's critically-acclaimed movie, he goes over every step of the game and determines once and for all if it really is the worst ever created."
"LJN made a Beetlejuice game too. The Nerd criticizes it for all the usual LJN shortcomings and foibles they include with all their games, as well as names a few new ones."

Ren and Stimpy: Fire Dogs, crazy CrazyBus, ALF on Sega Master, and a game called Tagin' Dragon."
"The Nerd stumbles across a super rare Super Famicom game that is said to be the worst game ever made. He's reviewed some horrible titles before, like Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, CrazyBus, Big Rigs, Desert Bus and Superman 64 to name a few, but this takes this crap factor to a whole new level."
"Unable to find any games shitty enough for a review in the cartridge department, the Nerd turns to a console he's yet to cover: The Turbographx 16. And no better way to introduce the black sheep of the 16-bit era than a game featuring that web-footed righter of wrongs, Darkwing Duck."
"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."
"On Halloween night, the Nerd finds a flaming bag of shit on his doorstep. And in that bag is The Crow for Sega Saturn. Not based on the 1994 movie, but the inferior 1996 sequel, and plagued with horrifying graphics and ghastly game-play."

"The Nerd delivers an NES classic, the infamous Paperboy. The game about delivering newspapers and having to avoid getting hit by every single inane object on the streets. It may sound easy, but the AVGN sets out to prove just how difficult and unrealistic the whole experience can be."
"Television-to-video game adaptations more often than not are monumental disasters, and nobody knows this better than the Nerd, who decides to play the Beavis and Butt-head game for Sega Genesis. Did they over-complicate things? You bet your butt."
"When attempting to review video games based on a beloved franchise from his childhood, the Nerd stumbles upon evidence of a parallel universe and realizes that everything he knew to be true might be wrong."
"The Nerd and his clumsy pal Keith wreck the halls with some interactive Sega gear. These VR wannabes rank up with the Power Glove, Roll'n Rocker and all that other useless, overpriced shit we wanted as kids to look cool. Time for our heroes to try them out and see how poorly they worked. Hilarity and collateral damage will ensue."
"The Nerd goes \"Mighty Morphin\" bad, as he takes on a collection of games for the Famicom, NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy, based around Mighty Morphin Power Rangers."

"The Nerd has rotted out his brain with such an insane amount of bad games, that this Christmas he gets himself a PlayStation with a compilation of video games from the Lightspan Adventures series to help restore it."
"When the Nerd finds a copy of Nintendo Power exuding a belief that EarthBound was a rotten game, he later finds reviews that show how glamorous the game was and reveals a fanbase for a title he now has to play. So he does – via the Super NES Classic Edition – and provides an insight about the game's various flaws but well thought-out gameplay."
"The Nerd question whether his next bad game \"feels lucky\", as he looks at a NES Game based on the Dirty Harry movie series that featured only three levels."
"No meditation can prepare The Nerd for his first review of a bad Xbox game, Drake of the 99 Dragons - a game featuring well-made \"Saturday cartoon\" artwork that was intended to be the basis for a comic book series and animated show, but was foiled by its glitches, poor gameplay, controls, voice-acting and graphics."
"While the Tomb Raider franchise has featured a variety of good games, the Nerd decides to raid the tombs of three that do Lara Croft no justice, and that were made for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and N-Gage."
"The Angry Video Game Nerd reviews the Amiga CD32 console. Watch as the Nerd dives head first into some of the worst video games ever. The Amiga CD32 had such \"gems\" as Gloom, Kang Fu, Oscar, Naughty Ones, Morph, Beavers, Zool, Dangerous Streets, and of course Surf Ninjas for some reason."
"Continuing from the previous episode, the Nerd tackles the CDTV game The Town with No Name. Due to not owning the actual console that it was made for, he is forced to play it on the Amiga CD32."
"The Angry Video Game Nerd plays the Home Alone games with Macaulay Culkin! Sure, the Home Alone movie games have been covered before on AVGN, but never so many, AND with Mack himself."
"The Angry Video Game Nerd is chronologically confused about the Kingdom Hearts timeline. With Kingdom Hearts 3 on the horizon, the AVGN will explore the goofy order of the KH games. You think it's just Kingdom Hearts 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2? Guess again. There's 358/2 Days, Birth By Sleep, Dream Drop Distance, and many more. There's almost more re-releases than the games themselves. Oh, and the release order still isn't as confusing as the story line. Final Fantasy + Disney = 1 Confused Nerd"
"The AVGN pulls out and reviews as many video game magazines as he can find, except for Nintendo Power. From Atari Age, to GamePro, to some lesser known gaming magazines, the 80s and 90s were filled with great reads. The walkthroughs, reviews, previews, ratings... and the terrible ads."
"The AVGN reviews the Aladdin Deck Enhancer! In this Angry Video Game Nerd (episode 167) the Nerd gets the gift that keeps on giving from Aladdin... an upper decker! Well, the Aladdin \"Upper Decker\" Enhancer for the NES that is. This piece of toilet waste was made in 1992, during the decline of the Nintendo Entertainment System by the guys who made the Game Genie. It has very few games, like Big Nose Freaks Out, a bunch of Dizzy the Egg titles, and of course Micro Machines. The Nerd WISHES he didn't have to review it!"
"Pepsiman!! Episode 168 of the Angry Video Game Nerd pits the AVGN vs. Pepsiman, the Japanese PlayStation classic. There was so many junk food video games in the 1990's. From MC Kids, to the Burger King Games, to Chester Cheetah. But what about the Pepsi superhero from Japan... Pepsiman?? Well. He's clumsy and useless, just like the game. Enjoy this Pepsiman review... with a Coke."
"The AVGN already covered Superman for the N64 about 11 years ago. Well, it's back... with a vengeance! Superman 64 was released for Nintendo 64 in 1999. It was based off Superman The Animated Series on Kids WB. It was also coming to PlayStation. But, however, the PlayStation Version was never release. After the game came out on Nintendo 64, it became the world's Worst Video Game of all time besides E.T. for Atari 2600."
"Life of Black Tiger: Angry Video Game Nerd episode 170. The AVGN is playing the most modern game he's ever played before on the PlayStation 4. But, of course it might be one of the worst games he's ever played. Life of Black Tiger is a mobile game ported to the PS4 where you play as an emo tiger fighting the wild and humanity to save his cute baby. Gilbert Gottfried guest stars as a certain game designer that's never been seen on the show before."
"In this AVGN the Nerd covers Chex Quest, a pack-in game for Chex Cereal from 1996. This is Angry Video Game Nerd episode 171. Chex Quest is a non-violent first-person shooter video game created in 1996 by Digital Café as a Chex cereal promotion aimed at children aged 6–9 and up. It is a total conversion of the more violent video game Doom (specifically The Ultimate Doom version of the game)."
"In this AVGN the Nerd reviews Trespasser, a Jurassic Park FPS PC game from 1998. The game was billed as a \"digital sequel\" to the 1997 film The Lost World: Jurassic Park, on which it is based. The game is noted for the involvement of the film's director, Steven Spielberg and actors Richard Attenborough and Minnie Driver. The ambitious game ultimately received mixed to negative reviews at the time and disappointed many reviewers."

This NES game was released in 1993 when the next gen systems were already in full swing.

This \"game\" published by Acclaim (LJN in disguise) is the side-scrolling platformer that features Bart Simpson on a comic book quest to rescue his kidnapped idol, superhero Radioactive Man.

Kids could go \"HoJo with Sega\" during this summer promotion. Parents could rent a Game Gear the kids could play while on their vacation, or they could buy some of the Game Tips VHS tapes. These tapes are horrible, filled with basic walkthroughs, codes, and bull. They also have these wrap-around segments with a 90's surfer dude with a Foghorn Leghorn accent working at the Howard Johnson. He goes through almost every position on the hotel staff while making the life one of chubby businessman a living hell. The Nerd reviews this tape today and talks a little bit about the HoJo/Sega promotion."

However, he'll need to review every LJN game ever made (while Back to the Future gets re-developed.)

But The Last Ninja on the Nintendo Entertainment System is actually the second game in the series Last Ninja 2: Back with a Vengeance."

After years of playing nothing but crappy games, The Nerd's dreams are fulfilled through a wish on a monkey's paw, allowing him to finally play something good.
