The Rocketeer is a 1991 film from Walt Disney Pictures, based upon the comic book character of the same name Set in 1938 Los Angeles, California, The Rocketeer tells the story of stunt pilot Cliff Secord who stumbles upon a hidden rocket-powered jet pack that he thereafter uses to fly without the need of an aircraft. His heroic deeds soon attract the attention of Howard Hughes and the FBI, who are hunting for the missing jet pack, as well as the Axis operatives that stole it from Hughes. Also in 1991, a game published by Bandai came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System. A year later the Super Nintendo game also came out. In this review the Nerd covers both games, dons his old Nerd Shirt, and builds the ultimate transportation device: the RocketBeer.

This felt like a classic episode. There was a nice calm backstory to the game at the beginning. Just hearing James explain stuff is satisfying. Then it slowly ramps up with more anger throughout. I like it when a lot of the jokes are referencing how ridiculous the game mechanics would be if implemented in the setting of the franchise’s canon. It doesn’t even bother me if most of the shots are just of the gameplay and the couch. For me, that’s where the heart of AVGN is.

Today is Dimebags birthday. At 1:58 James says “Watch it go” and then smashes the game. I know he’s a Pantera fan so I think this is a little Easter egg for Dime.

I understand that your love of filmmaking has influenced a lot of your recent AVGN episodes, but sometimes, this traditional template feels like home. Episodes like this one are the ones I watch on repeat late at night. This feels like old school AVGN.

I remember renting the SNES version. We figured out the thing with the little screen pretty quick, and we had a turbo controller so all the shooting and flying sections were way easier. But we couldn't get past this next bit where a guy above you was dropping bombs and you had to dodge past them. The character just moved so slow that it seemed impossible.
