"They're bad walkers."
Kyle causing James to crack, and spawning in rocks.
Hilarious episode, and I had that cassette. Actually I had all the volumes, nobody was renting them anymore, and my video store had them out with the previously viewed movies for a buck each. Damn I wonder where I put them.
There was one joke that James didn't make. I thought he'd make it with that code he had to put in all the time. But he didn't take a chance.

I do wonder what that band had to do with the game. By the way, glad that Kyle Justin is back..........I missed him.

Most of it was pretty boring, but "Where did their hair go" had me cracking up.

Glad Kyle's back. I love how much he uses major and minor 7th chords.

Really enjoyed this one. I always hated the NES port of this game so very much.
On a side note, I really wish that James and his wife would release another episode of their podcast. I really enjoyed the first one.

I'm glad he finally got around to doing another two player game, but unfortunately I didn't find this one as funny as the Battletoads review. It's just not the same without their constant bickering over getting in each other's way.
It is nice to see Kyle again though. The idea that he apparently starved to death behind the Nerd's couch is hilarious to me.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like that Kyle guy.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like that Kyle guy. Actually, I kinda agree with you, at least for this review. I thought the songs took away from the review and were a major distraction, though I've liked the other AVGN episodes that he has been in.

I kind of wish he had covered the second and third games, just because IW II has lots more crazy stuff going on (though he did touch on the unintelligible sounds from victory road briefly).

Very clever way to bring Kyle back. I like him, but this felt more like a promotion of his music career than a AVGN episode. It dragged a bit after awhile.
I grew up playing Commando on NES, and this game shamelessly ripped it off, right down to the powder-blue suits. I was hoping James would bring that up. But oh well...good to see a new AVGN regardless.

Good episode. I liked how laidback this review was.

Incidentally, Kyle Justin also played Spider-Man.

I thought the songs were okay. It felt like a bad Adam Sandler impersoation as a means of making the other person laugh. That seems like the kind of thing I would do as a kid when playing a pain in the ass game.
People always assume rifftracks are for movies, but back in the day when you paid $5 for a shitty rental game at Blockbuster, it was always fun to have a friend over and just rip on the terrible shit as you're playing it.
Ikari Warriors is a pain in the ass. He's not kidding when he says the speed of the game is shit and if you don't know the password, you're as good as screwed.
As I was watching, I thought to myself at least Ikari Warriors doesn't have the awful cover art that it's sequel Ironsword had, before I realized I was thinking of Wizards and Warriors, not Ikari Warriors. I wonder if he'll ever review those games?

Could have used less singing. It worked in certain parts(like singing the game's ending dialogue to the avgn theme), but it got grating after a while. It wasn't a bad episode, but would have worked better at 15 minutes rather than 20. Also, funny how I didn't notice how James' frown takes up half his face. XD

I'm still not convinced this game had an ending. Me and a few friends of mine must have played this game for 8 hours straight and it never ended.
