Die Hard
The Nerd fins the front cover of the Die Hard game to be a little controversial due to it depicting a skyscraper being blown up which he advices that we all know what it reminds us of. Though he puts that issue aside and starts playing the game on his NES. While the terrorists in the game are able to take 3/4's of John McClain's health away, the Nerd's biggest complaint for the game is the dark areas that only light up when you enter the area which makes it inconvenient when there's a terrorist lurking in that area and you don't know it unless you go into that area. ...

Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout
The review starts off in the same fashion as a Looney Tunes short film. The Nerd reviews Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout which is nothing more than a poor man's Super Mario Bros. style slide scroller game. While the game is generous of providing extra lives, it however suffers from being unorganized by having breakable blocks placed over bottom-less pits and enemies that can hurt you even if you hurt them. Upon reviewing the game the Nerd is visited by Bugs Bunny himself, which the Nerd gives out his hatred by beaten the daylights out of the poor rabbit while trying to ...

Atari Porn
The Nerd does a brief history lecture on General George Armstrong Custard, only cause he's about to review one of the adult theme games for the Atari 2600. The game in general is "Custard's Revenge" which like the other Atari adult games was unlicensed and the Atari company had nothing to do with them. And just for fun, the Nerd reviews other Atari adult games only to find that each one either made no sense in how the game play is mastered or how the ideas for the games looked like they were thought up by sick minded game developers.

Nintendo Power Memories
The Nerd does a tribute to the magazine Nintendo Power by showing selected ads that were made exclusive to the magazine, the posters, the walk-through content, and the fan letters that are answered by the staff.

Before the Internet became more common to use the only way to know how to beat a game is by magazine subscription. Besides the magazine being very nostalgic, the Nerd also points out some things that he finds absurd like how the posters are hard to take out, the ...

The Nerd returns home with his newly bought 2600 games and starts to play the Leatherface game first.

Dragon's Lair

The Nerd does a review on the time-line of Legend of Zelda in the same fashion as his previous review on confusing titles to sequels of movies and games. For this one he talks about the Zelda games made up to the year 2008. And tries to piece together how each of them fit as one whole time-line. Only to discover that most of them are less connected than the other. Which in the end he concludes that the franchise doesn't need to have a well explained time-line when each game is worth playing without knowing what occurred in any of the other games.

Rambo
With the upcoming release of the fourth Rambo movie, the Nerd reviews Rambo for the NES. The game suffers from four problems which are: confusing navigation on the landscapes, pointless chat options, unnecessary use of animals as enemies, and the idea of the screen blinking red when low on health. The Nerd also reviews some other Rambo games but couldn't find a single one that actually is fun to play. He feels the games should of taken advice from Contra on how to make a commando theme game more fun.
