AVGN: Swordquest

Great ending

Atari didn't cut the line. Air quest was REAL FUCKIN' LIFE. They said that the Jack guy bought Atari, when he didn't. They gave the sword, and possibly the stone and crown, and the gamers were supposed to be led to search for the treasures.

Just want u 2 know nerd, ive started compiling info on The sword and am preping for a quest

as you said, with waterworld started shit to hit the fan, I was afraid you have to drink kevin costners recycled pisswater in order to win the game XD

The balance of the cosmos must be restored!!

you are Sir William Wallace himself!EPIC and EPIC music!

they should at least be in a museum or something.

How old are the 2 previous winner now? Are they still alive? Do they still have their treasures?

Because if atari was to relaunch a new competition with Waterworld and Airworld, well, how could we be sure that the two previous winners in the early 80's would participate to the finals for the sword?

I They must be more than 50 by now and probably don't give any shit to video games...

Fuck the sword I want that stone

NERD I AM WITH YOU THE SWORD,CROWN AND THE STONE SOUD BE IN THE HANDS OF GAMERS AND GAMERS ONLY! SO THAT FUCKING ASS SHIT BALLSUCKER SOUD GIVE IT ALL BACK

This would never work today. You would have legions of assholes working on one problem instead of on intrepid detective trying to win a contest.

As much as I agree we need to get that shit back to where it belongs (In the hands of gamers) Jack did not live an easy life so lets not be too quick to make him out to be satan himself. Jack was sent to Auschwitz with his family where he lost his father because the nazi's were too busy pumping gasoline into his blood stream. Jack made it out alive eventually (obviously) and learned to repair office supplies. From Typewriters he worked his way up to home computers and eventually Atari. So please people, can we cut him a little break?

This fat rich ass doesn't deserfe theese things, I'll go to america and get my ass inside his house like the sneaky ass ryu in ninja gaiden and then get this back, can't be stealin' right? Once I have 'em, i have the choice... Sell them and getting REALLY RICH... or just go to a game company not knowing what theyll do with this... :/ maybe it all is in vein

wow what a sad story. no sarcasm either!

i would have loved that talisman with the zodiacs on them and stuff.

Whoahh... I think they would make a "remake" for xbox360 or ps3. The quest muft be fucking finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zythaera

I´m up

Mind blown, like something out of a movie!

Who's up for stormin that guys mansion and stealin the sword?

you know what game you should review: time machine. god that game slurps foot long pubes!!!

Problem with doing something like this competition now days is that people are much better at hacking games then they were back then, so you'll find alot of people would cheat.

FUCK ACHIVEMENTS/TROPHYS!!!!!!!! I WANT THE GODDAMN GOLD SWORD!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's the sword????????

what is this theme song?

Someone should start a petition to bring this epic quest back. I don't care how, but it NEEDS to be brought back. Even if they have to make Airworld a PC or handheld game and rob the current company owner's house (or wherever the hell those last items are kept) to make it happen.

@Fuck RomEmKing Don't bother man. I've told that guy to fuck himself in every conceivable way and it does no good.

Nerd! listen. I can't tell you my name, but Something important happened after I finished watching the video. I realized that I have one of the lost treasures! I believe It may be the stone, but I am not sure. I remember when I was little, My dad brought something home, but I had no Idea what it was!

That is, until now..........

James, if you're reading this, please respond, and I'll give further detail. ( I can't just give out my e-mail online, now can I? ) If you get this message but can't respond through cinemassacre, My youtube user name is peptalkguy. please, I have to know if it's real or not!

@RomEmKing: He said nothing about it being worst game ever. Moron.

Wow that Philosophers stone sure would be nice, I have this friend whose brother is little more than a suit of armor who could definitely benefit from that.

How did they get that stone though? did they make it themselves and get enough screaming human souls to power it, or did they just rip one from a Homonculus? Homonculus are pretty scarce these days, but I guess it could happen.

Great review btw, the speech at the end really gets ya pumped!

This is one of my favorite episodes man. The remaining prizes do begin in the hands of the gamers.

Its truly epic what kind of contest they had.

Oh yeah and the orchestral avgn theme is just awesome in this video.

These games DO look like a epicness of gaming proportions.

6:39- XD XD XD XD XD

Man, I love the ending of this episode, and I'm a nerd myself. I imagine an Indiana Jones type of adventure here which I'd like to title "The Angry Video Game Nerd and the Quest for the Sword."

lets say for a second they did Remake all of the games(and the contest) . The company that does so would easily be rich. PS3, and Xbox just on Rights to the game ALONE would be easily a few million. (meaning it would only be on one or the other)

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO FUCKIN AWSOME IF THEY HAD A CONTEST LIKE THAT TODAY! I WOULD PLAY ALL THE GAMES!! I WANT A GOLD SWORD!!!!

sorry, RIGHT:P

You are fight james, i am only 12, and way to young to be wathing your vids, but im a hardcore fan. Oh yeah, the 4th game should be realised.

SwordQuest was not the worst game ever http://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/index.php?ref=65...

based on the inflation data CPI which is 82 in 1980 and 211 at present and extrapolating this data and applying the method of partial differentiation on this:
1$ in 1980 = 3.57$ today

FYI,
According to Michael Rideout, the Chalice is in a bank vault. He was thinking about selling it from time to time, but decided to keep it as a family heirloom.
Also according to Rideout, Steven Bell decided to melt down the Talisman and solded it to a coin dealer (but he decided to keep the small sword that was on it).

We all need to email atari the quest must be completed we need to start a online pwtition and email it to atari they can hold the water world championship and make air world for the 360 email me at joker0917@comcast.net for your ideas.

They sure belong in the hands of gamers .... But, if you think - just a brief moment - like an economist ... Don't you think Atari would have sold the stuff to regain some money? I don't know. Truth is, I wouldn't have sold it. But, then again, I'm a nerd.

Oh and I found another waterworld cart for 60 bucks at Mcvans video games (http://mcvans.com/) while traveling through Indiana. That place even had a 40 buck top loader, and a jack bros. virtual boy cart.

I got a heavy sixer and all 3 released swordquest games, in he boxes never opened mint condition from my grandfather, who was an atari club member, when I was six. BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER! (Besides the unopened in box top loader)

I bet the AVG would love this! hahaha http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&...

It's really sad to see that nowadays Atari makes some what crappy games. Although Test Drive Unlimited for the 360 is an alright game and Unlimited 2 will be out soon.. i hope

@Zelda_boy
The philosophers' stone (Latin: lapis philosophorum) is a legendary alchemical substance, said to be capable of turning base metals, especially lead, into gold; it was also sometimes believed to be an elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and possibly for achieving immortality.

the philosophers stone was a substance, not an actual stone of any sort, thus making any and all of the harry potter and any other movie, where it is represented as such, wrong in terms of mythology.

Also, it is portrayed that way in books, movies, etc. because having the title of a movie, or just having the people in the movie calling something a stone and then having it be a liquid substance might be rather odd and people would ask to many questions

us gamers need to ban together and get Atari to make that game so that someone worthy can have those items they don't belong in some guy's living room that just so happened to buy the company when they had them that's bull crap they belong in the hands of some of the best gamers of our time

I remember my cousin talking about this contest from back in the 80s, he wondered what happened and why only 2 prizes were given out of all of them, he also wondered where Air World was. He's gonna be surprised when I tell him

@ Superjay45
WTF?? Kinda anti semitic no?? I going to assume your jokeing because I hope seriously that you are
Can you imagine if a company did something like this today? I'm not sure that most of the little spoiled brats of today could appreciate the epic awesomness of it.

Why am I not surprised?
Jack Tramiel is a Jew who survived the Holohoax
He kept treasures for himself which clearly belong to real gamers
Typical Jewish Greed
