Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 98: Day Dreamin’ Davey – Episode Review

It’s time for a bit more of a traditional Nerd episode. This time the Nerd is taking a look at Day Dreamin’ Davey on the NES. This is a bit of an interesting case since, instead the usual suspects like LJN being behind this game in some way, it was developed by HAL laboratories, the […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 97: How the Nerd Stole Christmas – Episode Review

It’s time for Christmas in… February? What? Yeah, that’s just how the episode reviews panned out — we’re at another Holiday episode already and it’s mid-February. At least in Season 4 when we had Winter Games it was a bit more generic of an episode. This time around, as the title suggests, we get an […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 96: Lester the Unlikely – Episode Review

Here we have a much more traditional Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This time, James takes a look at an SNES game that I had never heard of up until this point called “Lester the Unlikely.” Picking the game “at random” the Nerd right off the bat doubts the game is going to be good […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 95: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Revisited – Episode Review

Here we have what was 2010’s Halloween episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and also the second part of James revisiting some of his early review subjects — in this case, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the Nintendo Entertainment System. He opens by discussing that, to his horror, even though he warned everyone […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 94: Back to the Future Re-Revisited – Episode Review

Remember the early days of the Angry Video Game Nerd, when he was the Angry Nintendo Nerd? Well, this episode goes back to this days, with James taking a look back at some of his earlier videos. He opens parodying Lucas and how he changed the Star Wars films over the years. The comparisons are […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 89: Pong Consoles – Episode Review

Ah, Pong. Not the first video game, but the first one to really become popular. Through the mid 70’s Pong was pretty much it — the genesis of gaming in our cultural consciousness. In the wake of the success of the original arcade hit, a home version was made. Then another, and another, with tons […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 88: Swordquest – Episode Review

The Atari era of gaming was something special. It was a time period where things were kind of wild and companies were throwing pretty much anything out there to see what would take. Atari itself, as a company, was doing wonderfully and the VCS, later renamed the 2600, was dominating the gaming scene. This success […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 78: Wayne’s World – Episode Review

Wayne’s World is an absolutely classic early 90’s film. While one of many films based on Saturday Night Live skits, it maintains a cult following to this day. Much like seemingly any movie, it was natural, if an odd choice, that video games based on the film would be made and in this episode The […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 76: Super Pitfall! – Episode Review

After the insanity that was the Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle episode, it’s only fitting we go back to a more traditional Nerd episode, and for this one we take a look at Super Pitfall for the NES! The episode begins with an incredibly brief overview on the character Pitfall Harry — the guy you’re playing […]

AVGN “Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle” – The Making Of + Outtakes

Much like the previous “behind the scenes” for the Magnavox Odyssey episode, I’ve got a few “behind the scenes” clips for the Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle AVGN episode to share. First off we have one of those “the making of” segments which many people enjoy. This shows the process of creating the episode, as it […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 75: Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle – Episode Review

Has it really been 75 episodes already? Man, I’ve been getting these reviews out at a pretty good pace! Anyway, this time we take a look at an Angry Video Game Nerd episode which had quite a bit of hype and promotion around it back in 2009 – Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle! Where the past […]
