  • For Halloween this year, the Nerd decides to give a much longer and more in-depth review of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the NES. In 1988, an infamous videogame was developed by the Advance Communication Company, published by Toho and Bandai and released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Loosely based off the famous novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, the result was a slow-paced side-scroller with obnoxious enemies, useless weapons, unclear instructions and deaths that came at random; an unholy abomination that would have better banished into obscurity. This is Angry Videogame Nerd episode 95.

      You should of called war on it but it might be in the history books knowing that means that calling war on it would make future kids die (even if the game lost and died so quickly that it was useless to have it in history it still would be known and kill everyone)

    Jekyll storytime:
    My friend rented this game for his sleepover birthday party in the summer of 1988. It was ALL the entertainment we had for the ENTIRE night. Less than 1 minute into the ENTIRE night, we got insta-killed as Hyde by the lightning bolt. We just looked at each other. We honestly thought the game had glitched. So we blew into the cartridge, reset, tried again, and the exact same thing happened. The 5th time. The 10th time. We had no idea why we were being instantly killed without getting to do anything. No internet to look it up.
    The videostore was already closed. The absolute horror set in that this was it for the ENTIRE night. Imagine that fucking feeling.

    You could actually argue that the AVGN represents the hyde of Jame's Rolfe. Rolfe has a loving family and is a great person while the nerd is barbaric and aggressive. Not only that but while Rolfe deals with the confines of the rules of humanity the AVGN is celebrated for his anger and malevoncence! The AVGN is a way for Rolfe to release his anger and other dark emotions so he can better deal with the confining rules of society.

    In may 2021, it has officially been more years that AVGN existed (17 years) than Dr. Jekyl and Mister Hide (1988 - 16 years) existed by the time of that 2004 review. So if AVGN just started today, a similarly nostalgic game for him would be San Andreas or Halo 2.

  • @elenchus
    @elenchus Před 9 lety +136

    For everyone who wanted to know about puppy dogs in France in 1951. I think AVGN was referring to an infamous bout of ergotism, a kind of acute dementia brought on by eating foods infected by a particular fungus, and it produces similar symptoms in dogs, a syndrome called "canine fright." Ostensibly, many people, and dogs, came down with "madness" in a particular French town in 1951 due to the way they were treating their bread.

      @@legrandgougoulilumine6940 No alcohol lol. Frustration of this game made me map out the hit boxes for detection. I measured the reach And drew on my television screen the long-range of the bomb when it goes off and it's time that the bomb recovers basically the recovery time like you would do playing a fighting game like Street Fighter. Dr. Jekyll Jump covers half of the measurements before he lands indicating your chances of 25% being hit by the bomb I also mapped out the bomb detection it's hitbox is formed like an L. Jumping back will give you the full effect the only way to go is forward I tried plenty of methods to avoid the strike

    @DraculaCronqvist Před 8 lety +291

    James considers this the pinnacle of the AVGN, and rightfully so. This episode is simply a masterpiece, even more so because it is fueled by a personal vendetta of James' against this game. There might objectively be worse "games" out there (like Tiger games or filth like Hong Kong '97), but this is, without a doubt, the game James and the AVGN both hate the most, due to personal reasons. I always found that bad games you have a personal history with are much more fun to tear a new one than games you have never played before, and I think this holds true for the AVGN episodes, as well. The best ones are those where James has personal reason to hate the games he plays, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; Ghostbusters; Back to the Future and so on.
