An auto-scrolling shooter where you play as a robot that walks on the ground.

I pity the months of effort that went into making all of these games back in the 80's...

Nintendo reworked the first and second game to be a tie-in for the 20th anniversary of a radio program.

Trying to find references for all the people in this game was difficult, I wish there was somebody I could ask.

A puzzle game where you assemble an animation from the segments of the screen. I can't imagine playing this for very long, it sounds headache-inducing.

Another room-to-room platformer with a medieval vibe. These adjectives are getting more common as time goes on.

I actually own the version of this game, and it's really good for an 86' licensed release. Graphics are charming, there are cutscenes and dialogue, combat is okay. The version lacked the license though.

developed a console-exclusive sequel for on the It's certainly...that. If you like Mappy and the NES, this is the closest the American console got.

It resembles the artstyle for Pac-Land in the Level 1, but not the others.

It's not just an review, it's one of the more popular AVGN reviews.

A charming little shooter. I know space shooter types flood the library, but this one is alright. I can't get mad at the quirkier one.

A Puss n Boots Famicom game sounds interesting, but it's one of those games where I don't even need a review to tell me it's bad.

For my newer followers, welcome to my Famicom fanart series.

Another Journey to the West type game, but this one has a full map of China in it. I respected that, so I included my drawing of it.

Otherwise, not a very good game. It tried to be a Dragon Quest-type game and failed.

Somewhat a half-way point between Zelda and Mario but repetitive in the way an arcade game would be.

In no relation to the Stephen King novel.

This is a point-and-click adventure game. Is it good? Well considering there was barely any real reviews, it's hard to tell. Like most games, there's a fan translation. I don't know if it's worth it.

Another classic AVGN episode. Not the worst game he's ever reviewed, but any game he touches on really isn't the best game you could be playing.

I see this game a lot getting dusty on resale store shelves. I heard these types of games were mostly developed for the Japanese businessmen who wanted an easy way to play board games alone in the 80's.

Have you ever looked at a game so dull that you could guess how low the sales numbers were just from looking at it?

Space.

Shooter.

I know this is a small description for not posting in a while but this library is overfilled with them.

An interesting concept, combining a space shooter with Zelda. I suppose this would be like playing Han Solo's dayjob on an NES.

A slightly botched computer mystery game port. It's still good, but adding in game over deaths was not really something this game needed.

So this time, the educational series put two games on one cart and numbered it 5 and 6. What a weird way to be lazy. They started with the first three carts having three games each.
