The Karate Kid

I LOVE the movies but I think I'll pass on this game ;)

does anyone know what is says on the back of the cartridge?

LJN? NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The thing about the Karate Kid NES game is that it totally teaches the very opposite lesson the film does. I mean, in the movie, you get the feeling you can become a karate champion out of the blue in a few months and defeat people who have been training their whole lives just because they're assholes. In the game, guess what? Karate is fucking hard motherfuckers, go and practice and kill your thumbs off.

Awesome to see how much better you've got on hiding reading lines throughout the years. Great stuff to everyone who works on these with you.

haha, what was that green thing in your shirt pocket? That game looks umm like a game i may not want to play through today or tomorrow, glad you did!

Early Nerd.

This is the vid where he becomes The Nerd that will entertain us all for years.

MAAAN Don'tcha just LOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT when you see nothing but SPAM in the comments?

"Well, let me be honest with you about this one. Ooooh boy. i...HATE...this game. I mean, it makes me want to kill myself."

This is probably one of my favorite AVGN moments ever. Brilliant.

Speaking of games that came from things much better than their adaptations, Lord of the Rings for SNES was probably the first time I was ever disappointed with a video game adaptation. Ironically, I still have the cartridge. The only reason I ever fire it up is for the music. At least there were many subsequent and superior adaptations, although those were movie based. Kind of weird.

only 16 comments? why are the old videos so unpopular

...What is that in your pocket, hiding with your pens? Is that a dragon? Or some other various mini-plushie??

@Kombatgod-

I can appreciate incest.

Ah, yes. The first episode of AVGN where James reviews an LJN game. Only one word describes this video: CLASSIC.

Well, the game is bad, of course, but it's safe to say that this is the worst AVGN episode ever. I mean, ok, he does those little screams at the beginning, and gives the nice 'Impossible Pit' example, but almost the whole video he seems to don't know what to say. He's like 'Oh, this game sucks and... Well it sucks... and...' I mean, he doesn't say funny things about it. And in the end, after finishing it, he stands in front of the camera in silence. That's boring. Then he puts the game in the toilet, but there's of course a cut.

I know that this is the first episode of the Nerd as a series, but I don't care! FUCK THIS VIDEO!

But here's my point: when it's easy to tell what's your favourite thing in a group it means that the whole thing sucks. But when you easily find the worst in the group, it means that it's good in general (for example you can easly say what's your favourite song of a bad singer, because he made only a few, while it's impossible to tell the best Michael Jackson song, but you can easly find the one that you like the least). And this is the demonstration of how the Nerd series is awesome and I love it!

This video marks a big change for the AVGN. I wonder what happened in the two years between vids. Anyways, it obvious he really started putting some effort into the reviews at this point.

dis game fucks my fuckin mind

This game brought shame to Karate Kid like a whore to a Christian family. Seriously though this game at the time was fun to me but it was fucking hard. I think I beat it but it took such a long time to do it. The first three levels were pretty easy but those mobs of idiots and mini games are cheap. Then you get to that damn last level and you get fucked in the ass by those spear guys that look like it's coming out of there dicks. And yeah the controls are so finicky and LJN can suck my balls.

im back :) and i got a yet a nothere game for you guys thats right its The Karate Kid have fun. hahahaha.

LoL 00:28 priceless...

LJN D=. This is LJN's first appearance on AVGN.

this was the 1st avgn i saw, witch was when this video was like a year old. i was roflmao

Well at least one good thing came from this game: AVGN

Classic AVGN, this is actually the first episode you have a real temper tantrum and smash things to pieces (including the game itself)

Yeah... I definitely remember how fucking bad this game was. It was like fate brought us together. I was young, and didn't know what I was getting myself into when I met Karate Kid at a flea market. I played it and thought, ok, this isn't so bad. You chop ice, catch flies with chopsticks, and play chicken with a swinging razor or whatever the fuck it was. But then, just as James shows us. It becomes the most cheap, asshole, rotten fucking game on the planet. And just like he said, you can't stop fucking playing it until you beat it. I'm only commenting about this, because I was in my attic the other day and found it. It made me so mad. So mad that it's been hiding amongst my things for years and years. So I took it out back and hit it with a hammer until I was satisfied that it could never be played again. I then burned it, and watched as the remnants of the game's title sticker bubbled and disappeared. And then I pissed on it. And now I feel all better. Don't save these shitty games and expose your kids to them. Just destroy them..

Great episode !
