these unlicensed games for the NES like captain comic secret scout and raid 2020 maybe I'll review that in the year 2020 [Applause] [Music] this is what we all been waiting for he's gonna take you back to the past diary rotten [ __ ] can tell it sorry seconder [Music] well I hope you didn't expect much because it was a throwaway line you know the year 2020 I'll be reviewing raid 2020 I wish I didn't say that it was like pissing up a drainage pipe it all comes back to you I mean I figured that's a long time I mean who knows if I'll even still be alive or the earth would even exist anymore but here we are so what am I gonna do bailout I mean I could it was just a hypothetical quote wasn't legally signed and notarized I said maybe I'll review it like maybe if I do we can all shut the [ __ ] up about it it was one of those unlicensed baby-blue cartridges made by color dreams which I already talked about or I think I talked about it did I no really I'm asking did I cuz it was a long time ago I can't remember [ __ ] now so what the hell good stories are worth retelling basically color dreams was making unlicensed NES games much to the ire of Nintendo Nintendo decide if they weren't making money off of these pieces of [ __ ] then nobody else should executives from Nintendo then contacted all retailers who were selling color dreams games and demanded they stop or their supply of real NES games would be cut off yeah imagine a game store that didn't have any Mario game but it had Castle to seed and death BOTS and Menace beach and all that [ __ ] and back then retailers couldn't afford to be cut off by Nintendo so they just had to say hey sorry color dreams you're gonna have to [ __ ] off and then color dreams without anywhere to sell their games thought huh what would Jesus do yeah so color dreams rebranded to WisdomTree or more like stupid ass piece of [ __ ] tree and sold their games and christian bookstores which weren't selling video games to begin with they were selling christian books on top of this they figured Nintendo wouldn't go after Christian bookstores or else they'd suffer the wrath of God because if there's one person Nintendo knew they couldn't angle with it was Jesus [ __ ] Christ and as you know they switched over to making Bible games and even before that they already had the market cornered with shitty unlicensed mediocre garbage that Nintendo wanted nothing to do with and it's how we have raid 20 20 honestly the cyberpunk cover art looks pretty cool with that Blade Runner vibe hi Blade Runner took place in 2019 so it was Rea 2020 trying to be a bootleg sequel or something probably not since the working title game was drugs are drugs are drug czar well on with the game let's play drugs are 2020 now that's a title screen you got an Uzi machine gun in a bottle of most pills or something and I think those are lines of cocaine I like this here winners fight drugs like it's not enough to say no to drugs that's [ __ ] [ __ ] in the year 2020 if you want to be a winner you got to actually fight drugs yeah that's that's one hell of a thought could you imagine fighting drugs literally just getting a big sack of drugs and just punching the [ __ ] out of it Rocky Balboa style yeah speed bag with actual speed [Music] all right I'm gonna start this filth up again for you but first let's take in this moment I'm playing raid 2020 in the year 2020 ad 2020 a plague of by the way I had to do a freeze-frame here because it flashes by so quickly you'll never have time to read it narcotics transcending the bounds of race economy and time have put a stranglehold on America what the [ __ ] transcending time the drugs are transcending time what what like like they're coming from the future there you're going into the future to get the drugs or the people from the future traveling back to sell them I mean I don't know what but if you had the capability of time travel you've got to be really doped up if the first thought on your mind is getting more drugs so you play as a drug enforcement guy or detective or private whatever but he looks more shady than any of the enemies you've gunned down he's like a criminal from a cartoon he looks like the dude on the neighborhood watch sign and his name is shadow who shadow my first major complaint is that the BNA buttons are switched with be for jump and a for attack but I'm beginning to think that's actually more common now meaning actual good games are less standard than this mountain of turkey turds now speaking of turds it's not that common when a game that [ __ ] actually has [ __ ] in it the birds fire feces all over the place and what's really great the thing I absolutely love is that you can shoot the [ __ ] I never played this game in any year other than 2020 but I couldn't imagine this in the 80s going into school and telling my friends I was just playing this Nintendo game where I shot up a bunch of mutant bird turds but the real funny thing and what this game might be alluding to is that there actually was a sport in the 60s and 70s mostly in Eastern Europe and South Africa which was actually shooting bird turds because it was like a high-level skill it was one thing to shoot a bird but to time it right when the turrets are dropping from its foul anus actually nobody does that I'm just kidding okay where was I Oh the objective is simple you kill drug dealers tons of them all kinds some are tall some are short some are sad some are glad and some are very very bad why are they sad and glad and bad I do not know go ask your dad you even have cyborgs drug dealers now I'm willing to accept the idea of fighting drug-dealing cyborgs but what's with the birds bats and bugs is nature attacking - just for the hell of it are the animals all high on drugs is that what's going on here are the birds bad guys is that why they're wearing eye masks like the Hamburglar and there's poop splattered anuses on the floor and if you step on them you're dead instantly and yeah I looked them up in the instruction manual and that's what they're called poop splattered anuses yeah now you're not gonna trust anything I say but if you believe one thing it's that this game is garbage it's [ __ ] packed - the most dense capacity revolting controls putrid piss graphics vomitus audio baffling glitches made from the imagination of a stinkbug and above all it's repetitive you just gunned down everything in sight for hours and hours man this guy has such a high body count he's a flat-out serial killer I mean I know he's a cop taking down bad guys but what was the crime again drugs well I mean I get the game as anti drugs and sure drugs are bad but what's the punishment murder it's basically a cracked version of the arcade game narc where you shoot the [ __ ] out of drug dealers well narc was already made into a crappy nes game so this game is a shittier version of the shitty version a narc for a game about going on a shooting spree your gun is almost useless your bullet disappears if you fire another one too soon so you can't hit the button rapidly or else your bullets won't go anywhere it's kind of like taking a [ __ ] on an escalator you watch that log of Dookie go up up up up until it's gone and then it just comes back again with a hold and it's not like that at all sorry every now and then you go through a door and slip into this alternate side level where you have to hop across what looks like these wooden support beams four piers you wouldn't think these things would be such a nuisance but try jumping across them and you get that choppy perception that special shitty slit feeling you get when playing garbage bin NES games and where the hell am I supposed to be anyway looks like the training stage from Karate Kid oh look there is [ __ ] back to the main part of the stage moving around sucks you think pressing up or down would make you go up or down but instead you move diagonally they had to get fancy with it I think a 3d perspective was a little too ambitious for a game that can't even get B and a right sometimes I'll try to go in a door and accidentally step on a mine and other times I want to get away from the door and get stuck going in and out it requires a level of precision this game doesn't deserve the wacked-out perspective only gets [ __ ] here when you get the jetpack which can only be found in the left door don't even try to enter the right door all it does is send you to the left door without the jetpack on please tell me if that makes any sense because I feel like I'm losing my [ __ ] mind here but anyway this jetpack is the best thing this game has to offer now you can just fly over half the level and access items that you couldn't reach there's boots all over the place and I have no idea what they do I thought they'd let you walk over the poops splattered anuses but sometimes it works and other times you get blown the [ __ ] up I've gotta blow it up there's also upgrades for your gun but the projectiles just dance around the enemies like in Fester's quest especially the one that fires in a circle how is that supposed to hit anything like look at this [ __ ] I can't even kill this crow maybe the bullets are made of crows when you beat the level it says good job shadow drug trafficking activity has decreased but the pier is still infested with dealers go save our pier wow so we're not [ __ ] around here we really have to kill every single person we see damn so let's go back through the level and gun down every last degenerate [ __ ] dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad okay did I kill enough [ __ ] people I don't see anyone else so I exit the level again and what the [ __ ] who did I miss all that's left are the bugs birds and bats are they all drug dealers - wow what a bleak future color dreams painted for the year 2020 the drug epidemics gotten so bad that even the local wildlife is trying to get you high could you imagine walking through the park and the pigeons trying to get you hooked on heroin okay I figured it out and you're not gonna believe this extra enemies will respawn when you hit the select button yeah when you bring up the menu and then come back out of the menu there'll be certain enemies there that weren't there before so you have to go back through every room hitting the select button to make them all show up yeah I walk through this level like five times and there's only one enemy left to kill well damn you think maybe we could let that one guy live I mean after all he was hiding in a room after you just laid waste to everything on the pier I mean after witnessing the death of all his drug-dealing friends don't you think maybe he'll change his ways well in the year 2020 winners fight drugs alright so I killed the last guy and finally I'm off to the second level it starts up and I'm on a boat now well at least the game has some variety there's a tiny helicopter face-fucking me I'm stuck in between an alligator with whiskers and a coked-up killer whale this is quite a scene it's drug fuelled madness where you can't touch anything rocks kill you in one hit turret shoot in every direction helicopter slam in here orcas are swimming everywhere and of course logs the shabby-looking chocolate bars that fell in the toilet next to a log of [ __ ] you can upgrade your weapon here but now you move at half the speed so you're not doing much to help yourself like blowing your nose into a tissue that you just use the wipe your [ __ ] you just got to destroy all the helicopters and now we're ready to move on to level three you know so far for a game that takes place in the year 2020 it seems fairly accurate I mean there's no flying cars or a futuristic [ __ ] just piers boats seagulls that attack exaggerated but still set in a normal world so unlike Reeth fighter 2010 I think color dreams actually got the time period correct oh boy holy [ __ ] it's the space city of Technopolis populate with robots flying saucers blue worms electric snowballs guys with faces impaled with bazookas yeah that's the style in 2020 and you can turn into a spaceship shooting sonic booms or a motorcycle now this is the future I was expecting then you get a message saying to destroy the drugs satellite and then we wait drugged satellite drugged satellite Wow now my minds blown they're actually broadcasting the drugs Vyas oh well it is the year 2020 I mean maybe now they're actually doing that I mean that's how I feel playing this like I'm going insane woah woah woah woah what now the game turned into action 52 oh my god I don't even know what's going on I'm just mashing buttons hoping I'm hitting [ __ ] next stage is back to normal run around the laundry room fighting giant mice yeah that's normal for this game sadly though I died and ran outta continues I'm sorry but I'm not playing that boat level or getting gangbanged by the drug satellite and it's blue balls another 50 times so I'm gonna use a level skip code and this code you're not gonna believe how you do it I mean seriously you are going to think I am making it up but I promise you for real this is actually how you do the code you need to plug in the second controller why you have to plug in the second controller to enter a code for a one player game is beyond me so a controller one you hold up an a and on controller two you hold up have fun with that then you let go on the first controller and hit the B button and then hold B to hit select keeping them on you don't just hold B it's a tap and a hold I guess they figured they [ __ ] up the game so bad they might as well make the code something so secret that no one will ever guess how it's done I would have never guessed that so mission accomplished and that's not all you have to do it during gameplay not at the title screen not while paused it's the only code I know of that's this complicated and that you also have to do while fending off enemies imagine if you're trying to do the Contra code but you have to plug in an NES four score and four controllers well control over one you hit up up on controller two down down on controller three left right left right and on controller four hit be a start what was color dreams thinking I bet nuclear launch codes aren't as complicated as this so back to the [ __ ] show I'm getting shot at from all angles there's robots turrets and mines all over the place the goal is to destroy the villain pitbulls computers that's one of those where the [ __ ] do you go kind of stages I ran all around but every door brought me back to the beginning then I found out by accident that you have to go into this black rectangle next to the doors to get to the top you know I don't even question anymore at this point I've seen almost everything oh and these rectangles are everywhere but it's only this specific one that actually does anything and just to think I found it by accident by missing the door that I thought I was trying to get into you know it's like do with this game the only way to beat it is to [ __ ] up your way into winning so you walk along the rafters killing the giant mice and evil [ __ ] molecules until you get to this green thing that's apparently the computer card but what's next well then you drop down and enter the door now now remember you got to enter the right door the correct or not the right one because that sends you back you got you're the left door which leads to a red cave and here you fight spiders and bats of course there's also drug dealers both human and robots then you have to take a wild guess and press down on one of these circles so you can enter like Mario going down a pipe and this is the only place in the game with these pits so seriously how are you supposed to know that without blind guessing also you need to enter a specific pit the third one all the others just lead back to the beginning the third pit leads to a cave filled with spiders and two more pits luckily this time I got the correct one on my first try this leads you to a room with a dealer and three possible ways out the sides just lead back out but the pit leads you to an identical room going the pit again and you find the room with the key to get the key you need to kill this giant [ __ ] ant if you don't have the gun upgrade this thing is a pain you have to run past it and then stand on the drug dealers head and jump up and down to shoot the ant how [ __ ] up on drugs is this dealer to let a cop jump on his head repeatedly just imagine this scene a cop jumping off a drug dealers head to shoot a giant ant and this game is anti drugs well the developers had to be on something so when you kill the ant make sure you don't kill the dealer until you get the key otherwise you can't make the jump and have to do the caves again after getting the key you just walk back to this door and enter pitbulls lair so here we go the final confrontation he's a green guy dressed like Michael Jackson Thriller I guess he has absolutely no recognizable pattern he just walks up swinging drumsticks and [ __ ] you to death while constantly farting let me listen to it listen it's a fart yeah I mean you could try to get high off his farts his farts are basically like the ghosts of the drugs he's taken it's worse than the drugs satellite and I can't believe I just made that sentence you have to keep firing at him and hope it hits this fight alone with all the times I died took almost as long to beat as the entire game but with a lot of luck and a lack of anything else better to do I was able to beat pit ball and destroy his command center thank [ __ ] congratulations shadow you have overcome treacherous obstacles and destroyed pit balls evil drug empire your success will carry us into new height in our fight against drugs remember winners need no drugs and with that it's over I hope Wong and Burke are happy with themselves at least the game was trying to push a positive message to keep kids away from drugs but if anything it probably made people want to do drugs it would have helped if the game was actually any good you know like Mario 3 imagine Mario 3 had an anti-drug message that might have worked but with this I feel like I need something maybe some Tylenol at least well anyway I'm glad that raid 2020 is finally done and over with now I mean it became sort of like an inside joke inside where exactly you know but there exists more games out there with future dates that my future self might have to deal with maybe I'll play phantom 2040 in the year 2040 or rush 20 49 in the year 2040 9 then it's only a couple decades until cyber ball 2070 and if the new games cyberpunk 2077 sucks I can play that in 2077 but then in all honesty I might have the perfect excuse not to because I'll be 97 or dead but then in 2080 4 after my body is replaced by a t800 endoskeleton with human skin I can review Robotron 2084 or robot rom if you prefer in 2142 I'll upload my consciousness into the cloud transcending physical existence and becoming everything and nothing so I can review battlefield 2142 I'm glad that one's not for a while in the year 3000 I'll play SimCity 3000 for the remaining humans after my self-aware mechanical herd and nerds wipes out the majority of the human population then the machines will make a time displacement device and send me back to the years I wasn't reviewing games and review those also I'll play every Madden in the year that came out mad 94 madden 95 madden 96 and once i get through all the Madden games I'll go back to the Year 64 and do mario 64 pilot wings 64 and all the n64 games was 64 in the title and then just in case you thought it was 1964 I'll go the Year 9 1864 and do them all over again speaking of which no one will know the difference because they'd never seen a video game in fact they'd be so impressed with it it would be like some kind of technological miracle who is this weird robot guy who came from the future and brought electronic video TV games then I decide well maybe I should have starred them with Atari 2600 because that would be simpler rather than making somebody play a 3d game who's never seen or heard of a video game but then I figure why I go to the Year 2600 to play Atari 2600 and then to the year 7800 for Atari 7800 and wow that's a long time from now and I don't even think video games exist anymore or the complete opposite I play Atari Jaguar in the year Jaguar because now Apple is naming all of them and because numbers actually ran out by now and you know everything else is going on poopie poopie turd [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] and [ __ ] sauce

Lord have mercy I can't believe it has been 10 years already. I remember watching his video and hoping he would still be at it, but expecting for him to stop before 2020.

And here we are. I am glad he was able to take such a chance and have it pay off. He started at a time when 2 or three million people seeing your video was huge, and no one really knew what to make of user created content like his. I have heard horror stories of creators being used by larger companies, and many video makers just couldn't get out of those contracts. But James has thrived and found a way to stay relevant while never turning into a flaming turd of a human.

[u/Sincityutopia]

I think AVGN is at its best when James rants about retro games and reminiscing the past by himself. I personally like the ROB the robot, Earthbound, Mega Man, and Nintento Power episodes.

[u/Beezlebug]

I for one appreciate creators who stick with their OG formula. Too many YouTubers try to "spice" things up or change themselves with less than average results. Obviously people will compare new content with old, and repetitiveness is unavoidable, but if you're truly passionate about something just keep on trucking.

[u/Hammer_Of_Discipline]

One of the few channels that’s been able to maintain quality for over a decade.

I love his film reviews and Monster Madness marathons, he helped make me into the film buff I am today.

[u/Pinecone]

Awesome video. I love his simple videos the most. No guests or skits. Just good old fashioned angry video gaming.

[u/mrBreadBird]

Honestly this was a solid video. Not too over the top and I really liked his misdirections and quick pace (or is that just because I was watching it on 1.5 speed?)

[u/DavidSpadeAMA]

Ever since they replaced Kyle and Bootsy with a blob and a caveman the channel has been downhill. In the old videos he would actually get mad about the game, like in the Batman one, and it was funny.

Now he's clearly just phoning it in to keep fans happy.
