- 2004– 14mTV-MA7.5 (190)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeUnable to find any games shitty enough for a review in the cartridge department, the Nerd turns to a console he's yet to cover: The Turbographx 16. And no better way to introduce the black sheep of the 16-bit era than a game featuring that web-footed righter of wrongs, Darkwing Duck.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd stumbles across a super rare Super Famicom game that is said to be the worst game ever made. He's reviewed some horrible titles before, like Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, CrazyBus, Big Rigs, Desert Bus and Superman 64 to name a few, but this takes this crap factor to a whole new level.
- 2004– 12mTV-MA7.3 (159)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd is a big Mortal Kombat fanatic, and yet he never checked out a little N64 game called Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. In light of the Christmas season and the subzero chill in the air, he decides to fire up his Nintendo 64 and see what he missed.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiWhen the Nerd plays through some Mega Man X games which are more graphics and text than game play, he considers calling it quits (again).

- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiWhen attempting to review video games based on a beloved franchise from his childhood, the Nerd stumbles upon evidence of a parallel universe and realizes that everything he knew to be true might be wrong.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd takes us back to the past (11 years' past) to play a shitty Sonic game that sucks ass. The ones he played in Wish List: Part 1 were passable at best, but the infamous Sonic 2006 is the grand champion of disgraceful garbage starring everyone's favorite blue hedgehog. Ever wanted to see a Sonic game programmed by the Glitch Gremlin?
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeXander ArnotMike ButtersThe Nerd prepares to play some video games based off corporate mascots, until Pepsiman suddenly appears in his room and forces him to play Pepsiman on PlayStation.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd fins the front cover of the Die Hard game to be a little controversial due to it depicting a skyscraper being blown up which he advices that we all know what it reminds us of. Though he puts that issue aside and starts playing the game on his NES. While the terrorists in the game are able to take 3/4's of John McClain's health away, the Nerd's biggest complaint for the game is the dark areas that only light up when you enter the area which makes it inconvenient when there's a terrorist lurking in that area and you don't know it unless you go into that area. The only way the Nerd can express his hatred towards the game is by doing it Bruce Willis style.
- 2004– 10mTV-MA6.6 (116)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd attempts to sort out the immense chronology of the Kingdom Hearts game series.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeDue to popular demand, the Nerd reviews Dragon's Lair. Not the arcade classic, but the poorly programmed and extremely difficult NES version. He can barely make it past the first screen due to his character dying with one hit and a dragon that's nearly impossible to kill.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd pays tribute to the Game Boy, the handheld console that outlasted the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and N64. And, much like those consoles, there was a boatload of needless accessories to go with it.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd does a lecture on the game Pong a very simple concept for a game that ended up spawning to many spin-offs and remakes. In this case he reviews every single Pong console he can obtain. Most of these console don't have insert slots for games because the games are already programmed into the consoles themselves. Most of the consoles would either not work properly or have unusual features during the game play. The most obscure consoles are the ones that don't have an AC adapter outlet which makes hooking the consoles up a big chore. The Nerd expressed how times have change since the introduction of Pong when there's other video games and video game console to choose from.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd reviews certain video games all based off of Speilberg movies. Starting with Jaws for the NES, which the Nerd complains that the concept is boring when all you do is collect sea shells in order to get power ups that'll allow you to kill the shark quicker. The second game he reviews is Hook for the NES, which is sadly a poorly executed plat-former game resembling nothing like the movie. The Nerd then reviews several Jurassic Park games that are either appealing to play or are contain annoying concepts. Out of all of them, the Nerd regards the 3DO version to be the worse. And finally to conclude his review he reviews a German Atari game featuring E.T. which is not related to the infamous American E.T. game. Upon completing his review the Nerd looks upon the E.T. game itself and shudders from the sight of it. Knowing that one day he's going to have to over come his fears and review the game for his fans.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd randomly picks a Super Nintendo game to review which turns out to be Lester the Unlikely. The Nerd knows that the game isn't going to be fun just by seeing the main title screen and the intro. What perplexes the Nerd is that Lester is a wimpy guy who can't attack with anything but a puny kick, unable to with stand jumping from a high place, and is afraid of almost everything he encounters. To make matters worse, the levels of the game look like they're design for a more playable plat-former game with a character that isn't as weak as Lester. In the end the Nerd finds the game to be like an experiment in making the worse character to play on a video game.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe 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 is fly through rings under a short time limit. When it comes to video game Superman has received a lot of bad game adaptations.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd shows clips of various games to the Atari 2600 and expresses how it defines the term classic video games. He mentions that there were successors to the console that came and disappear within a couple years. Like the 5200 that was meant to replace the 2600, but it failed and eventually faded from the market. The main reason was because of the size of the console and AC adapter. While hooking it up to the TV with it's limited cable range makes it a real chore. After the Nerd goes through the painful process of trying to hook it up while almost breaking his back. He tries to play one of the 5200 games, except he discovers the control that came with the system doesn't work. Which is another reason why the 5200 was a failure when they failed to manufacture controllers that are functional resulting in manufacturing third party controllers to replace them. In conclusion, the Nerd finds hooking the system up in the first place wasn't worth it.
- 2004– 14mTV-MA7.9 (233)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd concludes his CD-i review with the two remaining Zelda games. The first one is Link: The Faces of Evil which has all of the same problems as Wand of Gamelon had. While the final game the Nerd reviews is Zelda's Adventure, which he praises it for not having the same bad animation as the first two games and is now an over head view like the earlier Zelda games instead of a slide scroller game. However the game still suffers with an abundance of flaws such as poorly detailed backgrounds making it hard to know what is an opening and what isn't. The CD load time takes a while when ever you enter a new area and the voice acting is as bad as the acting in the previous two games. The Nerd's main complaint is the maps for the game are inconsistent and makes you feel lost upon exploring the dungeon levels.
- 2004– 13mTV-MA8.1 (239)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe 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 the Nerd had for the game is that a lot of the areas go dark for no reason which results in using a lantern that has a short life span. Resulting in navigating through the dark areas without knowing where the exit is.
- 2004– 8mTV-MA7.6 (234)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeAfter spending $700 on a CD-i and games, the Nerd reviews Hotel Mario.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMicheal MulveyLil' Liam MulveySometime after the Nerd escape from Leatherface, the crazed fan, and the red neck. He's now safe at home, but isn't in a good mood cause he has to baby sit two kids he doesn't like. In the mean time, he decides to review an Atari 2600 game which happens to be a game adaption of John Carpenter's Halloween. The game the Nerd got as a bonus when he purchased the Leatherface game from the crazed red neck that knocked him out with a banjo. The game is a complete opposite to the Leatherface game, cause you don't control Myers in the game but instead you control Laurie Strode. And the main object is to guide all of the kids inside the house into a safe location while avoiding Myers. Whenever Myers appears the theme for Halloween is played every single time. This is viewed as the most annoying thing the Nerd had to listen to for playing the game. After finishing the game, the Nerd decided to review two extra games that are horror related. The first one is called Haunted House, but the main problem the Nerd had with it is the lack of visuals and the only thing you see is a pair of eyes walking in the dark. Seeing nothing other than black is a really boring concept for a video game. The second game the Nerd reviews is a Frankenstein related game, while much more detailed in visuals. The down side to the game is the awkward jumps and the only thing that kills you is the water. After reviewing three bad Atari games, the Nerd heads to the house where he's suppose to baby sit. Little did he know that he's being followed by a masked stranger.
- 2004– 13mTV-MA7.9 (286)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiSteven J. KlaszkyThe Nerd goes to a small yard sale run by a hillbilly. All of the games on sale were all bad ones. The one that caught the Nerd's attention was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the Atari 2600. After negotiating with the red neck, the Nerd got the game along with another rare 2600 game for free. The Nerd returns home with his newly bought 2600 games and starts to play the Leatherface game first. Which he immediately sees why it's such a rare game, is because the object of the game is to cut people down with a chainsaw. While the graphics aren't too detail it's not as violent as it's being depicted. The Nerd's main problem with the game is the issue of Leatherface not being able to move at all if he touches a cow skull, bike, or wheelchair in the field he's walking around. While the sound effects only consisted with chainsaw sounds and a high pinch beep that is suppose to be the scream of the victims in the game. After playing the game the Nerd is visited by an obsessed fan who happens to be friends with Leatherface who chases the Nerd out of his own house. The Nerd suddenly ends up getting knocked out and finds himself a hostage to Leatherface and the crazed fan who now are forcing him to play the 2600 game he was playing earlier. The Nerd must find a way to escape his imprisonment fast or he might end up being slaughtered by a chainsaw.

- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiKyle JustinJason Voorhees is pissed off that the Angry Video Game Nerd is talking smack about his NES video game. Instead of killing him, he makes the Nerd suffer by playing the game.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeAfter the Nerd goes through a frantic frenzy about playing nothing but bad games, he finally settles down and randomly picks a NES game called Gyromite. When he starts the game he finds it unusual that you can't progress further into the game unless the second controller is being used with controls the barriers that prevents you from proceeding. The Nerd isn't sure who he can invite to help him play a bad game, until the robot named Rob appears and says he'll help the Nerd. It turns out that Rob the robot who was a Nintendo accessory was designed to play as a second player for the game Gyromite. However the Nerd finds the game boring even with the help of a robot. So he switches to the other game Rob is compatible for which is called Stack-Up. Not much of a game cause you're giving the robot command directly from the game itself. After no longer being to stand playing these two games, the Nerd tries to convince Rob to play a different game, only to be horrified that Rob can only play Gyromite and Stack-Up.
