Today the Angry Video Game Nerd reviews Dark Castle for the Sega Genesis. This game was released in 1991 by Electronic Arts and swiftly panned by critics and gamers alike. It stars a Peter Pan-like character that appears in the entrance of a castle without any prior explanation or storyline. There are multiple doors to enter, but they're each as much of a mystery as the first. Upon entering a door, the game switches abruptly to a side-scroller which features even worse graphics than the introduction. In addition to the horrid graphics, the game plays a repetitive loop of ominous piano music which can only be deactivated with careful timing at the dawn of the game. These issues are considered petty when compared to the gameplay and controls that turn out to be a complete mess. The Nerd struggles with awkward button combinations and unresponsiveness to complete the simplest of tasks like ducking and throwing items. Watch as the Nerd plays, in his opinion, the worst Sega Genesis game he ever has.

    This episode never gets old. That "Nananananananan" in the background while he's getting increasingly pissed just make this so hilarious!
  • @TheHero136
    "You have better luck playing Silver Surfer on the power glove!" This is one of the most brutal comparisons he has ever declared in an AVGN episode.
  • @IntensePeppers
    The sustained note when you turn off the music is a hilarious unexcusable mess
  • @jazzygryphon
    The character must be an ancestor of Lester the Unlikely.
  • @redshift4416
    "You have more control over the weather than this character." is probably the greatest nerd joke.
  • @DiGiTyDarKMaN
    I've lost count of how many times I've watched this episode. AVGN never gets old but there is something extra special about this one for some reason.
  • @SuperSilverSerpent
    So I did some research and discovered that this was actually a port of a game for Macintosh. Apparently in the original Mac version not only did the main character not get dizzy as easily and as often, but throwing the rock was done with the mouse, which explains why it’s so clunky on console.
  • @VedTraed
    The "DARK CASTLE ON CD-I" part is probably one of AVGNs greatest moments, up there with when he punches Bugs Bunny out of nowhere, or the search for "ass" in the King James Bible on Gameboy.
  • @PotatoMcFry
    This has got to be one of the best AVGN videos. The editing, writing, pacing...everything is perfect. I always come back to this episode.
  • @TheRaiko777
    The hellish roar when pulling out the CDi Dark Castle is some classic Nerd rage. Great episode.

    "Even that vulture looks f*cking depressed".
  • @asmcint
    Of course Saddam was a hardcore gamer. He didn't want those PS2s to launch missiles, he just wanted a taste of the new console generation.
  • @blobskin
    "You can't even jump without getting dizzy." Sounds like a medical condition.
  • @Ryouski
    9:45 One of my favorite moments every in AVGN history.
  • @ElliottBelser
    This is actually a shitty PORT of a pretty good PC game. The rock throwing controls were never designed for anything other than a mouse.
  • @Newtination
    "It's a curse to the soul, and it must suffer the tortures of the damned!" whips maybe the best scene in AVGN, shits hilarious. Love this episode!
