Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES)
The Nerd makes his first ever game review, and tries to tackle Castlevania II: Simon's Quest for the NES, revealing the many flaws and issues that came with it. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 1.
In this debut from the character we now all know as The Angry Video Game Nerd, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is The Nerd's first video game victim. Released on the Nintendo Entertainment System just a year after the first in the series, it should have been equally as acclaimed. Though as it's the focus of an AVGN video, there are of course numerous shortcomings which prevent Simon's Quest from hitting the same highs as the original Castlevania.
With horrendous day to night transitions, having to throw holy water everywhere you go, and possibly the easiest boss in video game history; Simon's Quest was the perfect place for The Nerd to start dissecting the crappiest games known to man.
Although The Nerd may have a lot to rant about when it comes to Simon's Quest, the Castlevania series as a whole (Particularly Castlevania IV on the Super Nintendo) do hold a special place in his heart. And as a four part Halloween special in 2010, The Nerd revisits Simon's Quest, along with numerous other titles in the series.

Bible Games
It's Christmas, so the Nerd sees how bad a number of unlicensed religious-themed games were on both the NES and SNES, including Super 3D Noah's Ark – a game built on the same game engine as Wolfenstein 3D. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 17.
This Christmas, let the Nerd remind you of the Christmas spirit by throwing Baby Moses down the Nile. If you think that's weird, just hop on Noah's Ark, where you can shoot an army of goats with sleeping pills from a slingshot. That's right folks, there's nothing holy about these Bible-based boatloads of sacrilege.
Released in 1991 by Wisdom Tree, Bible Adventures was a game that was so poorly put together that it wasn't even sold at major video game retailers. The same could be said for their next title, Bible Buffet, a game as baffling as its title would suggest. And rounding out the trilogy is Super Noah's Ark 3D, a blatant, kid-friendly knockoff of Wolfenstein 3D that was released in 1994. It's so bad that it wasn't even officially licensed by Nintendo!
Games this bad shouldn't be legal, so prepare yourself for the terror that awaits you in this episode. This just might by the Christmas that kills the Nerd! So grab your strongest cup of eggnog, because this is going to be a long one.
