ABOUT THE GAME(S)

 

The Angry Video Game Nerd has been sucked into Game Land! It’s up to you to guide him through three terrible and treacherous retro game worlds! Angry Video Game Nerd: I & II Deluxe features two previously released Nerd titles, polished and ready for your frustration!

 

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures (2013) is influenced by retro classics such as Mega Man and Castlevania and is a fun, fast-paced 2D action-adventure based on the characters and memorable moments from the online series The Angry Video Game Nerd. With multiple playable characters, power-ups, and tons of secrets, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is the perfect challenge for fans of old-school difficulty, fart jokes, and/or the Nerd universe.

 

In Angry Video Game Nerd: ASSimilation (2016), a mysterious beam from space changes the world into a video game, so it is up to the angriest gamer you’ve ever heard to put the “A**” in ASSimilation! Experience the classic, NES-hard challenge you’ve come to love, mixed with new mechanics, abilities, and collectible armor pieces the Nerd must use to defeat his most challenging foe yet!
