This game get's to much hate. Yeah, it's shit but it's a product of it's time when some greedy suits were taking over, forcing devs to spew out heaps of garbage that was causing the crash. But the crash IMO was more severe in the US, Japan and Europe were just fine, especially the home computers that were booming.

But seeing the crooks at EA, Konami etc. or the sea of shit on mobile devices with shady business practices all over the place I think we're heading in the same direction now.

There won't be another crash because digital distribution eliminates inventory costs. That was the problem with Atari. Retailers didn't want to risk stocking shit that wouldn't sell.

As far as it being cryptic it’s actually fairly typical of 2600 adventure style games of the period, it’s just that James Rolfe is a dribbling brainlet when it comes to anything with a level of complexity beyond Contra and muh spread

At least half of Rolfe's views on YT is from normies who just come to see him shit on old games they barely or never played whether they really deserve it or not. There is not much money to be made if he just fawns over something rather than trashing it.

Its sophisticated childs humor. His word play is nice, if a bit cheesy. "Butt fucked up the dick", " what a shitload of fuck". I like his content because its authentic. He really enjoys making films/videos. In fact, his movie reviews are pretty good and his board james series was really great.

It may not be up your ally, but in the last few seasons of avgn, he has polished up his writing a bit.

Home computers were doing great here as well and was a major contributor to the "crash", which really only killed the console market. Arcade scene was still booming as well, so it clearly wasn't the vidya dark age it's memed to be.

>talking shit about James about nothing

Since he became the AVGN till he made the movie he constantly refused to review the game because he didnt find the game horrible as the internet said, because he knew it was rushed and it was "good" for what it is. He actually never takes a shit over 2600 games because for the time even making a playable game was an achivement. So the only brainlet here is you.

It's the "ET_Fixed" romhack. I didn't have trouble as a kid playing it, but this romhack improves the game very much, even to the point that people who used to hate it might enjoy it.

I always found it weird how Arino gets a pass here, but AVGN doesn't.
It's especially strange, since AVGN is actually good at video games.

I actually had this game as a kid and had no fuckin idea what to do. I assume its because mine was bought secondhand and had no manual to help me.
I still played it sometimes tho... just out of sheer dumb kid amusement

It's actually pretty easy to understand him if you have even a half decent reading comprehension. On the topic of names, did you want him to refer to the person in question as Mr. Rolfe? That seems like more of what a total ass kisser would call him.

born '78 and as a little kid I wanted to play vidya al the time when i was 5, be it on arcade machines with my dad or at home on the atari. So speaking for myself my interest in games didn't crash one bit. And some shitty nintendo robot toy didn't 'bring me back', I knew it was a meaningless gimmick just looking at it

Do you have reading comprehension issues? Where did I state that avgn started that meme? Where did I even mention the US video game market crash you absolute fucking mong? It’s unquestionably true that while he didn’t exactly start that meme, he did popularize it among people who get all of their info and opinions from e-celebs, like the vast majority of posters on this board.
