Trying AVGN's most hated game for the first time! (Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, NES)

AVGN review: • Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyd...
Anybody who watched Angry Video Game Nerd would immediately know what this infamous game is. If you haven't, well, this is the 1988 NES video game adaption of the famous Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde 1886 novel. It is a platformer game. It's hard to explain this game, as it is actually one of the worst titles in the NES library, but the objective is to get Dr.Jekyll to his forthcoming wedding, but many dangerously cheap obstacles come his way to make him angry (which you have to avoid) and become the hideous Mr.Hyde, which strangely brings him into an alternate demonic world going backwards. Then, kill the enemies as fast as you can to return back to Jekyll before he reaches the exact location where Hyde's counterpart was. Otherwise, a lightning bolt will suddenly strike him and die instantly. If Jekyll dies, of course it is also Game Over.
It's a bad game, for sure. Surprisingly, however, it is playable, but it is not for people who are not very patient. I cannot beat this cheaply difficult game, but for a 1st try, I think I did quite well compared to most others who tried, thanks to my pro experience in gaming. It's worth the video.
Fun fact: Marvel's The Incredible Hulk was inspired by the original Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, alongside Frankenstein.

This game indeed looks cheap, but the concept had a lot of potential, I have to say. I see that a lot of obstacles come way too fast for you to react to them, and sometimes even appear unjustly right in front of you. 3:48 Jeez, the birds turd on you? That's just dumb. Turning into Hyde is pretty creepy, but also looks annoying. 11:34 Agh! That singing is horrible! I mean it's an NES, but still, what the heck. You may not have finished it, but with such cheap obstacles, who's to blame? You did this run pretty well.

It's not a good game in the first place. Usually in my channel I played famous games that are legit good, but every once in a while the complete opposite happens, and this is one of them for the show.

@@LITTLE1994 The Texas Chainsaw massacre ringed similar vibes, as AVGN has a famous video showcasing that one, too. I actually think the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is even worse, then again it's older too. AVGN's video on the TCM was also funnier in my opinion. But regardless, these are both notable horrible games, but sometimes playing a video game that failed is interesting. You get to experience why it failed and why it's bad. It can be fascinating.
