    Fun fact: The company that developed virtual hydlide had released a virtual golf game on the system, and instead of spending the money making a new engine, they decided to use the golf game engine for virtual hydlide. It explains the bizarre walk cycles and golf-like minimap in the corner.

      It also explains why the framerate is very bad. It's okay for golf, due to its relatively slow pace, but not for an action RPG.

      Probably because when you look at the views of his videos many of them top out at about 150k whereas nerd episodes always reach a Million or more, even now.

    I remember buying a copy of Super Hydlide in a second hand store when I was maybe 12 because it looked vaguely like Zelda on the back of the box... I was incredibly disappointed. Luckily, the game couldn't even display the dialogue text correctly half of the time so I got to exchange it as "broken" for Thunder Force IV... years later I found out that the text is that buggy in all copies of the game. So, thank you Super Hydlide developers for making your product so broken that returning it to shops was super easy!

      Yeah, I'd already played Thunder Force IV because my sister's boyfriend owned it 😊 I also owned Power Strike II for the Game Gear, which is another fantastic scrolling shooter. Another great swap I did was Alex Kidd for Mortal Kombat II, my mother was against "violent" video games to the point where I was banned from owning Streets of Rage or Golden Axe, but I snuck around those rules by swapping the game with a friend. The Mortal Kombat series may be somewhat flawed in terms of fight mechanics, but it was an awful lot more fun than Alex Kidd!

    Nerd, I have an idea for an episode, and you could even make a multi-part series of many episodes: "Failed Mascots"
    Review games of those old mascots from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s that tried to follow the steps of Mario and Sonic, some of these characters had good games, but all of them failed to keep themselves relevant.
    - Earthworm Jim
    - Boogerman
    - Sparkster
    - Cool Spot
    - Noid
    - Bubsy (Again)
    - Aero the Acrobat
    - Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel
    - Alex Kidd
    - Ristar
    - Vectorman
    - Rocky Rodent
    - Radical Rex
    - Ardy Lightfoot
    - Plok

    - And Awesome Possum, maybe the worst of all of them.

    When it comes to randomized games, the claim that there are billions of level combinations is extremely misleading. Not only would you have to rule out the majority of non-playable combos, you'd also have to rule out the combos that are functionally identical. For example: if you were to move one object one space to the left, that would technically count as a new level combination.
