When I was a kid, my dad had a coworker he traded NES games with. One day dad trades Metal Gear for Dr. Jekyll. I still give him shit for it, 25 years later.
In may 2021, it has officially been more years that AVGN existed (17 years) than Dr. Jekyl and Mister Hide (1988 - 16 years) existed by the time of that 2004 review. So if AVGN just started today, a similarly nostalgic game for him would be San Andreas or Halo 2.
For everyone who wanted to know about puppy dogs in France in 1951. I think AVGN was referring to an infamous bout of ergotism, a kind of acute dementia brought on by eating foods infected by a particular fungus, and it produces similar symptoms in dogs, a syndrome called "canine fright." Ostensibly, many people, and dogs, came down with "madness" in a particular French town in 1951 due to the way they were treating their bread.
I totally lost it when he said: "Is church going to be any better? Is the priest going to throw candles at him? Is Jesus going to come off the cross and start hitting him with it?"
Looked up at some of the character descriptions. "And mysterious man who shows up and drops a bomb when least expected" Shouldn't the towns people hunt that guy down instead?
I think it get it. The monsters when your Hyde are the towns people. The towns people are killing him because when he turns into Hyde, he sees them as monsters and kills them. That how I'm going to try and explain it.
But from repeated stress attacks, and how many times the player controls Hyde, you would think the townspeople would know how to properly deal with it. If stress or death makes Jekyll turn into Hyde... Yeah, you get it. Townspeople just simply hate Jekyll.

+scottski02 Oh my fucking GOD, THIS! Seriously, why the hell do English teachers try to interpret a book and then state their interpretation as FACT?! Good thing this isn't the middle ages or else we'd have more Bible situations on hand...
+Jesse GD That is mainly due that many people who teach high school finally get a chance to use the subjective voice, rather than the professional/academic objective voice.
+scottski02 There's a time in my school when the author of one of my school's literature book came to visit. We asked him what a certain line (the curtains were a melancholy dark shade of blue) meant. Our teacher immediately began to scold us, saying that she had already taught us that it meant that he was depressed and seeing even mundane objects in a negative light. The author immediately said: "I didn't mean all that bullshit, I meant the curtains were fucking blue.".
+Desmond Ng That story's pretty old, besides the original doesn't say "melancholy dark". You ruined the point of the original story by adding that bit, because if the author actually uses those words then he clearly meant to say more than the color of the curtains.
I once saw this “game” in a old game store and I walked up to the owner and asked if I could destroy the game for 20$ and he said sure I got a hammer in the back. That was my good deed for humanity that day.
James considers this the pinnacle of the AVGN, and rightfully so. This episode is simply a masterpiece, even more so because it is fueled by a personal vendetta of James' against this game. There might objectively be worse "games" out there (like Tiger games or filth like Hong Kong '97), but this is, without a doubt, the game James and the AVGN both hate the most, due to personal reasons. I always found that bad games you have a personal history with are much more fun to tear a new one than games you have never played before, and I think this holds true for the AVGN episodes, as well. The best ones are those where James has personal reason to hate the games he plays, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; Ghostbusters; Back to the Future and so on.
DraculaCronqvist It's my all time favourite episode. It's the sheer futility of attempting to play an unplayable game mixed with the inherent hilarity of the Nerd being flipped off by Robert Louis Stephenson's remains!
He said he considered it the worst game of all times...except if you consider "PLumblers Dont Wear Ties", in that case, that would be the worst. I think there are worse games than this (like Superman 64), but as you said, there is something personal here, James HATES this game.
That might be in the series finale. At the start of the series, the Nerd had 3 banes of existence: Simon's Quest, Jekyll & Hyde, and LJN. As of today, he's forgiven LJN and Simon's Quest, so if he can ever bring himself to forgive Jekyll & Hyde, then it would be all over.

@@legrandgougoulilumine6940 No alcohol lol. Frustration of this game made me map out the hit boxes for detection. I measured the reach And drew on my television screen the long-range of the bomb when it goes off and it's time that the bomb recovers basically the recovery time like you would do playing a fighting game like Street Fighter. Dr. Jekyll Jump covers half of the measurements before he lands indicating your chances of 25% being hit by the bomb I also mapped out the bomb detection it's hitbox is formed like an L. Jumping back will give you the full effect the only way to go is forward I tried plenty of methods to avoid the strike
Based on the Angry Video Game Nerd's breakdown of his least favourite rainbow (guess which episode), the NES version of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde was programmed by a bunch of Laughing Joking Numbnuts who also ruined not only the NES and Sega Genesis versions of Back To The Future but also Hotel Mario and three Zelda CDi games too many.
And to this day, the citizens of Tokyo still run in terror as Godzilla almost blows the entire island if Japan because he is still mad about how Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde came into existance.
It's inverted perception. Hyde is watching Jekyll, Jekyll is watching Hyde. Hyde wants Jekyll to lose control and it's why Jekyll is utterly powerless. Jekyll struggles to not lose control, and when he does, he stops to struggle with Hyde. Playing as Hyde is actually taking place while Jekyll is moving. Jekyll, as Hyde, fights off his paranoia and evil intents in order to keep Hyde at bay. If Hyde catches up to Jekyll, Jekyll doesn't regain control, and Hyde leaves the mental realm to take control. What you're seeing when the lightning strikes is Jekyll loosing control over Hyde. However, if Jekyll regains control, he fights off Hyde and continues his trek.
Having only just seen the 1932 movie of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, I can see where the game drew its inspiration from. Considering what the Nerd looks like when he changes into Hyde, he must have noticed the similarities as well.
Admit it though. We'd all hit Justin Bieber with a cane if we could. Also, advantage, she's a painless way to turn into Hyde. So she's....actually a medkit. That takes forever to work.
Turning into Hyde from time to time is necessary to get the good ending. Oddly enough, the only level that Hyde is allowed to overtake Jeckyl (and needs to) is 6 and you can't reach the singing lady in that level to hit her.
Some people's bodies can not accept the bomb vaccines so they intentionally get themselves injured and burned to build up an immunity, to which the Twofort Bomb Charity helps them with. I give generously to them every paycheck.
I want this game to be a punishment. For what, you ask? Imagine a high school class. Now, imagine a kid that isn't paying attention. Every kid that doesn't pay attention in class has to play the game and make a presentation on it two weeks later. The presentation must explain what each thing in the game represents, symbolically and/or realistically. This would make kids pay attention in class more.
MannyMMA Reminds me of how people react to Witcher 3. clearly over-rated and eveyones is giving it a 10/10 ... should be 6/10 thus outside the reach of AVGN but still
maybe he was thinking artistically and was like HELL YEAH!!! Let's toast them turdy games! I think regardless of what was played in it, it's a unique and fun nintendo 'mod' that has gotten him quite a bit of fame for his craftsmanship. I mean it is pretty awesome looking regardless good / filth played on it :D :D :D Didn't you want one when you saw it? :P *(i did)*
Yep I had 2 attempts, the bombs half the time are just there and even after I died right at the start the second time, the second idiot got hit by lightning almost immediately after appearing...... makes zero fucking sense.
i love his burbon prop bottle, he really did make the water look like the right color. (and yes it's a prop bottle, it's not real liquor, he mentioned it in a 'making of' video, some time later). :3
So I played the game after the original episode and this is how I believe it works: - There are 2 bars one is life and the other is just called meter which I think represents sanity or maybe simply mood, as you encounter the "enemies" most of them don't drain your life but they drain the other meter, hazards like bombs and stone do take away bits of your life sometimes a lot of it. Once any of the bars empty you become Jekyll. - If the life bar is empty you simply die with a lightning effect. - If the other bar is empty you encounter the more mythical villians, your objective here is to fill the other meter back up and you do that by killing enemies before your life bar empties, if before the screen stops scrolling you fill the whole bar you return to being Jekyll from the position you turned into hyde with the meter full and a bit of life restored and if you reach the end of screen scrolling you return to being Jekyll with the amount of meter you filled at that point and a little life restored. Basically the Hyde stage acts as a kind of rope dangling for the player, a chance for them to return back to the main game instead of seeing a game over. When all is said and done its actually a pretty neat idea albeit one executed like shit. The main problem is how random all enemy encounters are, leading to times where everything is fine and dandy or times where you get your ass handed to you again and again. The upcoming hideo kojima game Death Stranding actually kinda reminds of this whole dying and "resurrection" point of view, let's hope he implements it properly.
That statue taking a piss isn't so weird for me. There is one in a garden in my neighborhood that literally has one. For the name of God, I'm not joking.

***** Thank god. I finally have closure!
+Jon Kelley What did (s)he say?
im finally old enough to drink beer while watching the avgn drink beer. i love how timeless these videos are

Little late to the party, but 23 right here (As of 5/27/2023).
Anyone else wants to hear the whole "Puppy dogs in France" story? (Edited to change here to hear ;D)
They are dead today
+Jean Cule Unlapin now that's fucked up
But what a life they must've lead!
They used to pick pretty daisies.

If Jekyll called Uber he would get crushed by it when it arrives.
GET OUT OF MY CAR, NOW
*YELLOW CAR!!*
He would get ran over

Apparently the nerd traveled all the way to Samoa cause thats where Stevenson is buried
But it was aaaaallll a dreeeeaaaammmm~
James has a little daughter now. I SWEAR TO GOD NERD THAT YOU HAVE THIS GAME LOCKED AWAY IN A SAFE WHERE SHE CAN NEVER TOUCH IT!!!
Having only just seen the 1932 movie of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, I can see where the game drew its inspiration from. Considering what the Nerd looks like when he changes into Hyde, he must have noticed the similarities as well.
"Now go play some Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HYYYYYYYYYYDE!"
"NOOOooo!"
"HYYYYYYYYYYDE!"
Makes me laugh every time.
I died at that part just now 😂😂😂
same here
I AM THE DEVIL!
What if you want to go to heaven but god said,"Now go play some Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyyyyyyyde!"
Rumor has it James had a cold when he recorded the skeleton's lines.
2021 and these episodes have aged like fine wine 🍷🤓
50th like!
fine beer
@@buzzlightyer2948 except beer generally gets worse with age
@@TotallyRadical then the game aged like a fine beer
even on day one
Using the nerd emoji is a bad idea
Too bad that he didnt know the other function of the cane. If you hit the cane against the horrible singing lady.... YOU TURN INTO MR HYDE!
No way!
REALLY?
is it the woman who Hyde wants for a girlfriend... and then beats her to death with his cane?
She is a singer after all.
Admit it though. We'd all hit Justin Bieber with a cane if we could.
Also, advantage, she's a painless way to turn into Hyde. So she's....actually a medkit. That takes forever to work.
Turning into Hyde from time to time is necessary to get the good ending. Oddly enough, the only level that Hyde is allowed to overtake Jeckyl (and needs to) is 6 and you can't reach the singing lady in that level to hit her.
Jekyll's parents must not have given him his bomb vaccines
Some people's bodies can not accept the bomb vaccines so they intentionally get themselves injured and burned to build up an immunity, to which the Twofort Bomb Charity helps them with. I give generously to them every paycheck.
Maybe they spaced them out xD
They got the "vaccine" that was actually gene therapy.
I want this game to be a punishment. For what, you ask? Imagine a high school class. Now, imagine a kid that isn't paying attention. Every kid that doesn't pay attention in class has to play the game and make a presentation on it two weeks later. The presentation must explain what each thing in the game represents, symbolically and/or realistically.
This would make kids pay attention in class more.
But what if the kids not paying attention are secretly playing this inside their minds?
Cruell
whoa, easy there Satan
I can tell you how it would actually play out. They wouldn't do the assignment and continue not to pay attention.
I would just watch the avgn video for the presentation
5:57 James is a really good writer and it often goes under appreciated
Absolutely correct
You must’ve dug up the wrong Robert Louis Stevenson, because he mispronounced Jekyll.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
He's trying to distance this piece of shit from his work
Give him a break, he doesn't have any vocal cords
Well he does say that he's the devil
Well, Robert Louis Stevenson was a weirdo so who cares.
the Freud theory: the Nerd must have an unacceptable desire to play Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde that he’s repressed into his unconscious!
‘Since I really want to play Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, everyone must want to play Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde as well!’
Bomb ashes and bird shit is the name of my new album.
"I could've taken a shit on it. But my own shit would've been offended to lay on this loathsome piece of filth."
Lol, that part always slays me.
I was actually enjoying the fun facts that the nerd used to stall the review with.
Daniel moore Just so you know, The dogs in 1951 died from something.
Wait... What about the puppies in France? WHAT ABOUT THE PUPPIES IN FRANCE?????????
I want to hear about the puppy dogs.
That sentence about the puppies in France would be so more entertaining than this piece of shit game.
They suffered from canine hysteria
I think it would have been better if he had said, "the puppies in Belgium...". Belgium is a funnier sounding country.
***** AMERICA!!!
"The only thing in the game that you can kill in the whole game, and its little tiny STUPID FUCKING BEE!!"
oh no! not the bees! aaaaaaaah!
bees are the thing of Satan.
krothmar Wasps are, those fuckers can sting you for no reason and get away from it still alive.
Jekyll the doctor, killed by bees.
The whole scene of the nerd and skeleton is just absolutely priceless. As a matter of fact, the whole video is priceless.

MannyMMA Reminds me of how people react to Witcher 3. clearly over-rated and eveyones is giving it a 10/10 ... should be 6/10 thus outside the reach of AVGN but still
THAC0MANIC I liked it...
this game has a 3.4/5 on Ebay.
gamefaqs gave it higher!!! they said it was a fast paced action game with good graphics and music. jeez... we're they high?

The way he talk and point to the tv makes me think he was actually really wasted 🤣
I can't help but wonder what Richard was thinking, knowing that his Nintoaster was used to play such an abomination.
Richard?, his name is james, or do you mean the guy who built the nintoaster
Hamzah Sajjad Richard is the dude that made the Nintoaster.
Well, at least it fulfills its intended purpose, playing games.
maybe he was thinking artistically and was like HELL YEAH!!! Let's toast them turdy games! I think regardless of what was played in it, it's a unique and fun nintendo 'mod' that has gotten him quite a bit of fame for his craftsmanship. I mean it is pretty awesome looking regardless good / filth played on it :D :D :D Didn't you want one when you saw it? :P *(i did)*
Dr Jekkyl lives in a bad neighborhood. Mabey he should move.
He's too slow to move.
The movers would start throwing Jekyll's belongings at him
Atleast he's not in detroit

@@unwelldanny7108 Smoothbrain.
Jekyll forgot to alway rember happy day. That's why he was so stressed.
What if the monsters are the townspeople seen differently by hyde
Makes a ton of sense.
That would mean something great, but thats not what game programmers wanted to see
Copied comment.
@@SocksFCGameArchives and that’s copied from everybody else who’s said that.
Just played this game; it was indeed an unbearable, steaming pile of radioactive turd vomit
Yep I had 2 attempts, the bombs half the time are just there and even after I died right at the start the second time, the second idiot got hit by lightning almost immediately after appearing...... makes zero fucking sense.
Well said
Imagine if ljn did a remake of dr.jekyl an mr.hyde

i love his burbon prop bottle, he really did make the water look like the right color. (and yes it's a prop bottle, it's not real liquor, he mentioned it in a 'making of' video, some time later). :3
It actually looks like orange kool-aid or something, liquor is a lot darker.
The Nerd went all the way to Mount Vaea in Vailima, Samoa just to dig up Stevenson.
Wow.
dedication to the content!
Almost perfect.
Putting the “Requiem” poem on the grave would have made it perfect.
"Fuck you!"

"Now go play some Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYDE!"
"HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYDE!"
So I played the game after the original episode and this is how I believe it works:
- There are 2 bars one is life and the other is just called meter which I think represents sanity or maybe simply mood, as you encounter the "enemies" most of them don't drain your life but they drain the other meter, hazards like bombs and stone do take away bits of your life sometimes a lot of it. Once any of the bars empty you become Jekyll.
- If the life bar is empty you simply die with a lightning effect.
- If the other bar is empty you encounter the more mythical villians, your objective here is to fill the other meter back up and you do that by killing enemies before your life bar empties, if before the screen stops scrolling you fill the whole bar you return to being Jekyll from the position you turned into hyde with the meter full and a bit of life restored and if you reach the end of screen scrolling you return to being Jekyll with the amount of meter you filled at that point and a little life restored.
Basically the Hyde stage acts as a kind of rope dangling for the player, a chance for them to return back to the main game instead of seeing a game over. When all is said and done its actually a pretty neat idea albeit one executed like shit. The main problem is how random all enemy encounters are, leading to times where everything is fine and dandy or times where you get your ass handed to you again and again. The upcoming hideo kojima game Death Stranding actually kinda reminds of this whole dying and "resurrection" point of view, let's hope he implements it properly.
No read this
@Justin Griffith you're
Well that's very helpful!
@Justin Griffith wow the irony
What if when Jekyll turns into Hyde he's just hallucinating all the monsters and unwittingly killing people?
I mean that would explain why the townspeople hate him
No this game isn't smart enough for that.
Though it is a cool idea
Hmmmm

10:45 Truly the most epic gamer moment in all mankind existence.
That statue taking a piss isn't so weird for me. There is one in a garden in my neighborhood that literally has one. For the name of God, I'm not joking.
noamoskaljov lol
All of those statues are an imitation of the Manneken Pis in Brussels.
noamoskaljov The weird part is it passing Nintendo of America's censorship rules.
"The Money Pit" (1986) - Rated PG. Has a scene where the piss statue pisses on Tom Hanks' head after quite a ride into the pool.
11:58 The pure despair in this scene is truly something to behold
This episode never gets old, especially the ending monologue segueing into the final line.
