Fun Fact: The NES released 21 years before this video was uploaded.

Isn't it the oldest YouTube channel still in operation?
BalrogRuthenburg11@reddit
Never heard of this guy before today
InfidelZombie@reddit
I've tried to watch a couple of his videos. You aren't missing anything.
rtrawitzki@reddit
The wild part is those games were as old then as the video is now .
Spartan04@reddit
Hard to believe YouTube is that old. We were around when it first launched, prior to Google acquiring it, back when it was mostly just random people posting silly videos.

He's been cooked for about the last 10, dude is a disingenuous knob
trickman01@reddit
Never really got into this guys videos.

Am I the only one who resisted computers and the internet and such for a LONG time. Like I didn't use ANY internet really until I got a smartphone. I was out getting high and making terrible decisions all of my teenage years and well into my 20s(...maybe 30s). Computers were always kinda nerdy for us. Now I was OBVIOUSLY mistaken in not learning about them then...but was I the only one?

Some of us were getting high and then playing on the computer.

Pretty sure Castlevania 2 was the first one he did. Predates Jekyll and Hyde by 2 years, but it was before he made his AVGN persona a thing
ModBabboo@reddit
I loved AVGN's early videos and watched him for years. His schtick did eventually get old for me.
ZipperJJ@reddit
Yeah I was obsessed with him then one day I was like "Ok, I'm tired of him." Nothing he did, I don't think. I never really got in to video content creators after that.
Blu_Falcon@reddit
Wait.. wasn’t Simon’s Quest first?

t-g-l-h-@reddit
was it released on screwattack or retroware first?
NeganSaves@reddit
I can't him.
ThePerfectSnare@reddit
I also cannot he either.

🎶He’s gonna take you back to the past 🎶
gypster85@reddit
🎶To play the shitty games that suck ass🎶
Traditional_Isopod80@reddit
I never really watched this channel.

What’s AVGN?
Horror_Garbage_9888@reddit (OP)
Angry Video Game Nerd. He was one of the first big YouTube personalities in the mid-2000s. He used to do comedy skits about old, bad video game from the 80s and 90s.
sexwiththebabysitter@reddit
Well that’s why I wouldn’t know, never got into YouTube content
GoodOlSpence@reddit
This is a weird coincidence, I just started watching it again.
sixfourtykilo@reddit
It's all over social media as bot accounts are farming clips for views.
Funkopedia@reddit
I've never watched AVGN at all, but this game is uniquely awful.
StillhasaWiiU@reddit
Back when he was the Angry Nintendo Nerd
Clive23p@reddit
His choice of game was actually what made me watch him.
I'd been trying to explain how much I hated that game for years before that came out.
small___potatoes@reddit
That’s awesome! I haven’t watched it yet, but he posted a 20th anniversary video.
2ndprize@reddit
This was the first thing that made me think of YouTube as a source for content instead of a place to find clips of stuff from somewhere else
evilpanda8419@reddit
That’s actually kinda wild to think about. Damn.
jessek@reddit
I loved those videos because I was glad I wasn’t the only one who thought those games sucked ass
