HAHAHAHA i gonna draw a decepticon logo on my wall and fight it till i win!maybe then i’ll transform into a hamburger and get eaten by a fat guy!heell yea!
This is the first of your videos I ever saw, and I think the funniest. I thought you were made of sterner stuff! Been a fan since. Transform and roll out!
Am I the only one that noticed a metriod at about 6:15? I watched transformers all the time when I was younger. Glad they didn’t release the game in Europe, it would have totally screwed everything for me!
There was another Transformers game for the C64 released by Ocean that you left out. It was actually pretty fun and was a more satisfying experience than the other Transformers games.
I think the final boss is Trypticon.
So, technically, this is his FIRST APPEARANCE,
Which is hilarious because I thought that he was created specifically for War For Cybertron!
I still find it weird that the Commodore 64 had games that were on cassette tapes.
I’m a big Transformers fan. I’ve been a fan since I was introduced to the original series in 1994 when I was 8. I have quite a big collection of figures, and I love the movies.
I can’t wait to get my hands on War for Cybertron. I’ve seen the walkthroughs on YouTube, and I’m dying to just play it.
The Commodore’s take on the Transformers theme sounds like it’s actually farting it out.
I’ve played Mystery of Optimus Prime online, and I find it just as pathetic as you do, James. I get hit alot, and I prevent getting hit only to find that something else hits me, I click out of it faster than you can say “Slag.”
10:20- Actually, that’s Trypticon, a giant size Decepticon who takes the form of a base. He’s also the end boss of War for Cybertron.
Hey, the Atari 2600 had games that were on cassettes. They were twice as powerful, and allowed them to make an RPG for the system. Pretty cool, if you ask me.
I loved the start to this. My first dabbling with computer games was with our Spectrum ZX81 and then more so the Spectrum +2. And that had a light gun too!
Playing Dizzy or Robin Hood or Manic Miner…so fun. I used to enjoy watching the strobing multicoloured madness as the computer made what is known more as modem noises these days.
In those days, they used to broadcast video games on the radio. How’s THAT for a weird thought. They’d broadcast the code down the radio, so you stuck a tape in a recorded it then stuck it in your Spectrum and (tried to) play it. Generally though…they wouldn’t work, or you lost the station for a millisecond and lost vital byes of data. But when they did it was awesome. Unless the game was a piece of shit anyway.
Hey @JamesAVGN is that the C64 turtles game you couldn’t get to work in that video you did during the summer that is shown during the intro to this video?
Hey @JamesAVGN is that the C64 turtles game you couldn’t get to work in that video you did during the summer that is shown during the intro to this video?
Also I would love to see you do an impromptu video about that Big Trouble in Little China game (if you can get it to work) lol
I got a console that looks exactly like the famicon. Its called “Thompsonic 3500 Home Computer 3600″. Nice name, huh? Makes a lot of sense… In fact, its just a NES but it includes 4000 games. Yeah, 4000 games, I am not joking. But in fact, its like about 20 that are recycled just hundreds of times. I got Contra, Contra TS, Contra FS and thats the whole fucking thing! Just take a game and add random letters. There are small differences though. Dont get me wrong, Contra is awesome, but all those different versions are bullshit. Why not keep the original one? Well, at least the controllers have Turbo buttons.
Back then Japan sucked but now they seemed to make sense now but to be fair let’s not forget the Japanese back to the future game and yes i know this is transformers.
when he zooms in on the hot sauce bottle, i can see a url on the label. I assume this is where you go to buy the stuff, but i can’t make it out. Does anybody know what it says? I want a bottle of that stuff.
@Morgil it says “twingalaxies.com”, but from what I saw on the website, they don’t sell the hotsauce anymore. You might find it on eBay, but that would be a really bad idea to buy any substance from eBay. You don’t know who’s touched it, or who’s done what to it.
To me back in late 80s cassete tape games was the norm with ZX Spectrum, Comodore 64 , Amstrad and Acorn home computers. Before that it was Atari and Intellivision carts. So I found floppy disks strange. Then I had Commodore Amiga when ther compertition was Atari ST that both use floppy disks. Megadrive/Genesis and Super Nintento was still around at the time. They then made way for Windows PCs, N64, Sega Saturn and Playstation etc. (Obviously excluding other products from the early 90s).
That reminds me I would love the Nerd to get tangled in some more cassete games from the late 80s. There only so much abuse you can give to carts and CDs.
I would guess it wasn’t released outside of Japan because the majority of American gamers don’t want to play stuff like that. The majority of Japanese gamers like unreasonable challenges.
It’s almost impossible to translate the ending message without it being in kanji, and it seems like it was badly translated into romaji in the first place, but this is the incredibly broken message I was able to kind of puzzle out:
Urgent Orders:
There are new Decepticons
Their power is stronger
They’re working together again
Rodimus’ Energon–
Once again, someone’s taken part of it
Decepticons are destroying (things, people, whatever).
Scramble! Ultramagnus!
It seems like it’s supposed to be something shown to you at the beginning of the game, perhaps?
mechagodzilla is accually tripticon and the end screen message tells you you havent collected all the letters. You must get the letters to beat it again then beat it again as rodimus! YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE GAME 3 TIMES!!!!!

TJOmega reviewed this on youtube as a tribute to you. He reviews Transformers so he knows what the hell is going on most of the time
April 14, 2010 at 7:29 pm
This is the first of your videos I ever saw, and I think the funniest. I thought you were made of sterner stuff! Been a fan since. Transform and roll out!
April 22, 2010 at 11:33 am
I just got the famicom a week ago and i got it to work on my american nes with a converter i got from the inside of a Gyromite Game
April 26, 2010 at 10:55 pm
HAHAH your videos are so funny man most of the time i have to remember to pause them so i can stop laughing and breath
May 16, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Had that game on the commodore 64 also but in large floppy format.
Actually might still have it in a box somewhere…. hmmm
May 16, 2010 at 4:42 pm
oh and ps. its not mecha godzilla, i think they called it tripticon.
turned into a city or someshit i think
June 19, 2010 at 7:42 am
this is what it said’s on 10;37
Emergency
Destron has been revived and more powerful thanks to the “Special power”
You must gather Rodimus’s “Enegoncube” and defeat Destron again.
yeah so if the Nerd knew what it means he might have been more pissed off xd.
June 23, 2010 at 9:30 am
I like all AVGN episodes

July 14, 2010 at 11:00 pm
LOL. I used to watch transformers when I was really little. I loved it but if I had to play this game I’d probably change my mind.
August 6, 2010 at 1:04 am
in this video i get to the point where i laugh every time the transformers theme plays in the famicom game.
August 26, 2010 at 5:14 am

i love surprise endings… what you think is a simple review has some weird twist at the end…. the Famicom transforms and shoots him in the face… XD
September 4, 2011 at 3:56 pm
After he said “That was the hardest game I ever beat” I half-expected there ti be a stage 11… that would have been hilarious.
September 14, 2011 at 2:57 am
@JamesAVGN Please play the Big trouble in little china game for a video sometime! I would love to see what the hell that’s all about.
