We’re at the 9th day of Shitsmas, and for this wonderful day the Nerd opens up an Atari 2600 game – Porky’s, based loosely on the 1981 film of the same name. This is actually one of the longer Shitsmas episodes and, quite honestly, is a complete review and really feels like a proper AVGN […]
Here we have another one of those more odd episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd where instead of focusing on one particular game, he spends time discussing a whole category of games which follow a similar theme – in this case, sports games on the Atari 2600! While certainly not mine, or the Nerds […]
Here we have the “Holiday” episode for 2009. Recall that Castlevaniathon went into November, meaning December 2009 had the previous episode, Little Red Hood, and this episode, Winter Games. Yeah, no Bible games this time around, just some frosty Winter gaming enjoyment. Okay more like frozen Winter crap. What we have here is a game […]
Oh, look, we’ve finally made it up to episode 50. Damn, that took longer than it should have. For perspective, we’re up to the Summer of 2008 in AVGN history. At this time the show was a major hit, and showed no signs of slowing down. In fact, production at this stage began to ramp […]
That’s right, we’re doing back to back Nerd episode reviews. In this case, we hit the second half of the Halloween 2007 videos, the other Atari 2600 game James bought in the last episode… Halloween. This game is, debatably, a little better. It’s got it’s own gory elements, much like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but at […]
Here we have the first of the Halloween 2007 Angry Video Game Nerd videos. This one focuses on the rather rare Atari 2600 game “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” which is based on the movie of the same name. At least, it’s supposed to be, but given this is Atari, things are, well, up for […]
Well, I knew this one was coming. A relatively infamous episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, this video focuses on several video games produced for the Atari 2600 that were of a less-than-proper nature, shall we say – the legendary “Atari Porn” games. Yes, seriously, video games for the Atari 2600 that were focused […]
In a bit of news from yesterday that, out of respect for the date I waited until today to share, the Atari Video Computer System (better known as the Atari 2600) was released 40 years ago yesterday, September 11th. The Atari 2600 is one of the most historic consoles in gaming, to be sure. Not […]
In part 2 of the Ghostbusters game trio, we finish up with the NES version of the game before the Nerd takes a look at the Sega Master System and Atari 2600 ports.
Crossing my news feed a few days ago is something rather interesting to me – An Atari 2700 console that was found in a thrift store in California… for $30! Yeah, if you know the story of the 2700, it’s amazing to read about. If you don’t, well, let me explain it to you. The […]
