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 a fun game to play. Overall the Nerd felt that Luigi and Mario being in learning games isn't all that fun. Written by J LeGault

EPS01
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. Especially when the game has a zombie level which features the Thriller dance moves but not proper music to go with. Written by J LeGault
EPS02
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 do. It's as if the game developers want gamers to not be able to beat the game itself. Written by J LeGault

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 reason while the insert slot on the console lacks a door meaning dust can go inside it unless a cartridge is placed into the slot. His main complaint is that most of the games look no different from a Sega or Super Nintendo game. While the games that do use the full captivity of the console are bland and don't look like it's 64 bits of graphics. Written by J LeGault
EPS04
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 he does. Even his game repairer friend Richard is unable to repair it despite how he's a wiz in making old consoles work again. After the Nerd receives the dead Jaguar CD add-on and a free newly repaired Pong console for the trouble, he concludes that he won't be able to review any of the Jaguar CD games when he doesn't have one that functions right.

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.
EPS06
The Nerd shows off the first video game console ever made: The Odyssey. When it comes to old school consoles you can't go older than the Odysset itself. The Nerd then demonstrates how the console works by showing what the games are which are just numbered cartridges that display two controllable dashes on the TV screen. Since the games require two people to play, the Nerd invites Nerdy Turd to help him play each of the games. Since there's no graphics on the console itself it provides instead a series of plastic covers to put on the TV for each of the games it had to offer. Playing each of these games is quite an interesting experience for the Nerd as he's getting a glimpse of what it was like to play video games back in 1972 when home consoles were a new thing.

EPS07
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.
EPS08
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. Written by Anonymous
EPS09
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.
EPS10
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 so bad that it was ignored for American release. And he was right, the game was very difficult and the Nerd complains that the levels hardly consist of color and most of the enemies don't resemble the Decepticons. Written by J LeGault

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? Written by explorerds6789
EPS13
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! Written by explorerds6789
EPS14
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. Written by J LeGault
EPS15
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.
EPS16
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 for a 16-bit update. The level layouts are confusing and the choice of enemies in the game don't look like they're from the movie itself. Which just proves that you can't make a video game out of every movie that's ever been made. Written by J LeGault
EPS17
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. Written by Anonymous
EPS18
In continuation of reviewing every old Castlevania game, the Nerd revisits the past and does a new and improved review of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest; the Nerd reviews Castlevania III, which he feels was a true follow-up to the first game. Written by Joe
EPS19
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.
EPS20
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.
EPS21
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 disappear or appear in out of reach areas, and the goals to the next level either take a few minutes or half an hour to appear. The Nerd finds this whole game to be like a science experiment to see what would happen if a gamer was given different rules and logic in each level of a game. It's an experiment the Nerd is crazy enough to take as he's eager to see how bad the ending to the game is. Written by J LeGault
EPS22
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 moves. Overall the game is all about pressing buttons rather than enjoying winter theme sports. Written by J LeGault
