Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures

The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures (also known as AVGN Adventures) is a 2013 platformer video game developed by FreakZone Games and published by ScrewAttack Entertainment. The game is based on the web series Angry Video Game Nerd by James Rolfe, a series dedicated to humorous reviews of low-quality retro games. Made in a retro style, AVGN Adventures parodies the games Rolfe reviewed and contains numerous references to both episodes of the show and the games themselves. Sam Beddoes, previously known for his 2012 game Manos: The Hands of Fate, designed the entirety of the game by himself. The game took inspiration from several sources, including classic videos games like Mega Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as some modern games such as Super Meat Boy and Scott Pilgrim. It was released for Windows in September 2013, and was later ported to the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in 2015. AVGN Adventures received positive reviews from video game journalists, who praised the gameplay, graphics, fan service, and music, but criticized its lack of fresh ideas in its short duration. A sequel, Angry Video Game Nerd II: ASSimilation, was released in 2016. A remastered version of the first two games, The Angry Video Game Nerd I & II Deluxe, was released in 2020.
