The Angry Video Game Nerd: Season 3

The Nerd reviews Nintendo's ill-fated Virtual Boy console along with the limited number of games that were made for the console. The Nerd says that while most of the games were ok, they also could have been made on just about any other console at the time, such as Game Boy. While the Nerd says that Wario Land and Teleroboxer were the system's best games, the red and black color scheme was prone to give gamers headaches and eye strain. The Nerd himself said that his eyes were "starting to hurt al

The Nerd plays the Super Nintendo adaption of the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie. Something that can't be made into a good game. Mainly due to the addition of weird enemies and locations that don't look like something you'd find in either the movie or the original books. The Nerd's main complaint is the large number of glitches the game has where various platforms make the characters in the game fall through. While playing the game, the Nerd is visited by the Cowardly Lion who won't shut up through out

Part 1 of 2. The Nerd tackles reviewing two second-generation consoles from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. In part one, he looks at the Intellivision and the games made for it, including Utopia, Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. He also takes a look at B-17 Bomber and Bomb Squad; two games compatible with the Intellivoice Voice Synthesis Module. Guest Star: Kyle Justin Note: Both parts were merged into one episode for the DVD version.

The Nerd does a follow up to the previous review by showing us the features of the Colecovision. The controllers aren't any different from the Intellivision, while most of the games are as bad they look. His main complaint is one of the add-ons to the console is a device that allows you to play Atari 2600 games on the Colecovision. The Nerd found it hard to believe the competitor of Atari was allowed to sell such a device. Cause in today's gaming market it wouldn't be allowed when it can create

The Nerd decides to review a good game for once which is Super Mario Bros. 3. Before he reviews it, he talks about the movie The Wizard which is how American gamers first learn about the game as it was a product placement along with the NES Power Glove. While the Nerd doesn't find the story for The Wizard to be great, he did admit that it holds a place in the gaming community. After putting his review on the Wizard aside he starts to play Super Mario Bros. 3, while it has a lot of hard parts it

The Nerd reviews several accessories for the NES in an attempt to find out how well they still hold up, including the NES Zapper and Power Pad, the Konami LaserScope, the U-Force, and the LJN Roll & Rocker. He also spends some time using the Super Scope peripheral for the SNES.

Donning a leather hat and whip, the Nerd delves into the holy grail of bad video games, as he looks at a collection of games based on the Indiana Jones film series, made for the Atari 2600, NES and SNES. Notes: The DVD version adds reviews of the Taito Last Crusade game for the NES. This episode was made to commemorate the then-upcoming release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

In a Star Trek theme review, the Nerd dons a yellow Starfleet uniform and decides to review a couple Star Trek related games, cause reviewing all of them would be too much for him to handle. The most absurd one he can find is the 25th Anniversary game for the NES which consists of pointless dialog and confusing quests, the Nerd thought about destroying it with a phaser but had a change of heart believing that the game developers tried their hardiest when making the game.

The Nerd reviews two of the earlier Superman theme games. The first one for the Atari 2600 is not just bad in graphics but is confusing to navigate. While the Superman game for the NES is another story where all of the characters are drawn in a chibi style and the use of attacks don't do justice towards the enemies. The Nerd's biggest complete about the game is that one of the missions involve trying to see why the stocks are so low in the stock market. The Nerd isn't sure why a game intended fo

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 i

Part 1 of 2. The Nerd dons his cowl and cape and prepares to beat back the darkness of bad Batman video games, including Batman: The Caped Crusader (Commodore 64), Batman (NES), Batman Returns (Sega CD and Atari Lynx), The Adventures of Batman & Robin (SNES), and Batman Forever (SNES). After the Nerd calls it quits, the Joker ties him up and forces him to play more Batman games. Guest Star: Mike Matei as the Joker Notes: The opening sequence for these episodes was specially themed around a parod

Part 2 of 2. Under the Joker's capture, the Nerd is forced to review Batman: Return of the Joker (NES and Game Boy) and Batman: Revenge of the Joker (Sega Genesis). In a rage, the Nerd eventually gains the upper hand and battles the Joker in an homage to the 1960s Batman series. Guest Star: Mike Matei as the Joker

The Nerd finds out how deadly difficult it is to complete another bad video game, when he attempts to review Deadly Towers for the NES. Notes: This episode was written from an adaptation of fan-submitted screenplay, as Rolfe asked fans to submit their experiences with the game and suggest dialogue he would use for the review. Those whose input was chosen for the review were credited at the end of the episode.

As the Nerd prepares to review Battletoads for the NES, he finds himself joined by his theme song performer, The Guitar Guy—who's been living behind his couch—who assists him in explaining why the game is impossible to complete with two players. Guest Star: Kyle Justin

The Nerd turns into a detective to find out "what [they were] thinking" as he investigates Dick Tracy for the NES, and soon uncovers its many flaws and extreme difficulty. Note: The YouTube version was edited with an additional minute of content. The Nerd's anger displayed in this video is widely deemed as his furthest, as he was never successful at the game due to its excessive difficulty.

Halloween is approaching, but the Nerd finds it hard to see Count Dracula being scary to him, as he looks at a selection of "horror-ble" games based on the vampire legend that are much scarier. These include Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Sesame Street: Countdown for the NES, SNES, Genesis, and the Sega CD. This episode is the first mention of Fred Fucks, the Nerd's arch-nemesis, based on the illegibility of the name of Bram Stoker's Dracula executive producer, Fred Fuchs, in the video game credits.

Halloween has arrived, and the Nerd is green with anger at finding out that there are bad video games on the NES and SNES that have been based on another horror legend – Frankenstein. Guest Star: Mike Matei as Franken-Nerd

Part 1 of 3. The Nerd begins his three-part review of the Philips CD-i by giving a brief overview of the console itself, and playing Hotel Mario.

The Nerd now reviews one of the three Zelda games for the CD-i. Out of the three he decides to play Zelda: Wand of Gamelon first cause the Nerd thought it be cool to control Zelda in a Zelda game for once since her name is on every single Zelda game. The Nerd soon finds out that the game is nothing like the Nintendo licensed Zelda games. Instead the game has bad animation, poor voice acting, complicated controls, confusing layouts of the levels, and frustrating use of items. The main criticism t

In the third and final video in the Nerd's CD-I series he plays through Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda's Adventure. Link: The Faces of Evil plays similarly to Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and faces many of the same problems, including the confusing layouts and stiff controls. Zelda's Adventure is a different style game; it's played with an overhead view and is modeled more like the original Zelda on NES. Its cut-scenes also use real actors instead of the zany cartoons so prevalent in the previ

It's Christmas time once more, and this time the Nerd decides to play more Bible games. This time most of the ones he's reviewing are official licensed games. The most obscured game he plays is Sunday Funday which is one of the last NES games of any kind. The most annoying thing about the game is the placement of springs and propellers create a confusing trap in most levels which makes it impossible to proceed further into the game. The Nerd concludes the review with three CD-i Bible games. Whic

The Nerd reviews one of the first Genesis games he ever played which is Moonwalker. He expressed that at the time anything with Michael Jackson was worth buying and the idea of controlling a celebrity in a video game was relatively new back then. As he plays the game the one thing he finds annoying is fact you have to check every single door and window to find a lost kid to rescue while The Nerd couldn't understand why some copies of the game have the Thriller theme while others don't.

When it comes to secrets, Milon's Secret Castle is filled with them. When the Nerd tries to play this game, he finds it to be unusual that two entrances to the castle lead right back outside and a window that just leads to an empty room. Upon reading the help column of an old Nintendo Power magazine, the Nerd learns the tricks on how to progress further into the game. However he finds it to be annoying that Milon's Secret Castle doesn't give you any hints or indications on where to go or what to
