For people commenting about using an NES controller. I wanted to do that, but when we recorded the video, I couldn't find my NES USB controller adapter anywhere. I found it a few days ago though. Hopefully I'll remember next time we do something NES on PC - Mike
I had just written a comment about the tick tick ticking, didn't notice the response from you guys, really appreciate the feed back. I figured something was up. Love your work James.
Love you guys and all that you do, all the retro games are a treat when i can't find time to play them at home my self. Your humor is on part with my twisted mind even at the ripe age of 42. Keep up the great work any kick backs you guys get are well deserved for all the hard work and time you put into your videos. Much love from Seattle fellas.
Well done. 3 out of 4 wrestlers correctly guessed at the ending. the "Tribal guy" was the Ultimate Warrior. Great work for guys that don't seem to be huge wrestling fans.
This game and Super Mario Crossover were what defined my middle school years. When the teacher told us we could go in the computer lab when we finished our work, I spent the entire remainder of class playing either Mario Crossover or this, because I liked retro games and still do. (Thankfully the teacher didn’t come in and see how bloody and gruesome Abobos big adventure was)
You guys realize that this game came out WAY before NES Remix, and around the same time as Super Mario Bros Crossover, but was THE mashup game. We know you PLAYED this game way late, but this game was the Epitome of the NES crossover.
6:40 I think James doesn't have the mentality of a gamer. I've seen this same scenario happen over and over again. He gets flustered with the most common sense challenges and an actual gamer wouldn't have to think about it. they just do it.
I think you get bombarded and swamped with the references and cameos in the game so it's not so bad if you miss a fEVERY MAN’S HEART ONE DAY BEATS ITS FINAL BEAT, HIS LUNGS BREATHE THEIR FINAL BREATH AND IF WHAT THAT MAN DID IN HIS LIFE MAKES THE BLOOD PULSE THROUGH THE BODY OF OTHERS ANDMAKES THEM BELIEVE DEEPER IN SOMETHING LARGER THAN LIFE, THEN HIS ESSENCE, HIS SPIRIT WILL BE IMMORTALISED. :D Yeah, I'm an 80s kid and we got WWF here at the time...
i played this game on newgrounds like 6 years ago. it's what got me feeling all nostalgic for a bunch of these games and made me go out and start collecting.
The Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and Hulk fucking Hogan just killed Amazon, one of my most hated NES characters... I am complete.
I remembered when this came out. It was in dev on i-mockery for quite some time. THey had done some other cool NES tributes too. I-Mockery was such an awesome site to read in the early 2000's
This is one of my favourite flash games. Love your commentary, especially when you think it's the end haha. Look forward to finishing. Also, amazing Pee Wee impression.
Hey James and Mike, can I make a request? Since it's sonic the hedgehogs 25th anniversary, maybe you could play sonic generations, pc or console, any version? It's really good
There should've been another phase to the Amazon fight, where he powers up into a Transformer and becomes Amazon Prime :) I also liked the Starfighter reference in the Balloon Fight stage.
Omg WOW!! Abobo's big adventure is one of the very best imaginative "all-star" games!! Damn, this looks REALLY fun to play! Major kudos to the one who made it. Sincerely
Love this game, it's the perfect homage to the NES. One problem I have with it though is that they didn't bother naming the creatures properly when they showed up on the bottom right of the screen when you hit them. Like at 17:23 the Zeb from Metroid 1 is called "Metro" because they're from Metroid or something. I guess it's a joke. I just think it's weird that they would go through drawing every enemy a cool portrait but not look up their real names!
Wow I requested you guys to play this game about 3 years ago. Good to see you guys finally playing it. By the way there are a lot of secrets in this game. For example, before you "finish him" you wait 10 seconds and do a "Friendship" on your opponent.
About time you guys did this game. Now time to do Super Mario Bros. Crossover, Kung Fu Remix, Mega Man In The Mushroom Kingdom, Street Fighter X Megaman & Megaman 8 Bit Battle Network
So I figure I'm the 20,000th guy to say this but... come on, ya didn't know the Amazon and the game Pro Wrestling? Thats classic Nintendo! Then again, it sounded like ya didn't even know Roddy Piper was lol (and yes he wears a kilt), so wrestling's probably not your thing.
crashinator1 Look fair point, but Pro Wrestling is a damn near iconic game with multiple memes and famous characters coming from it. Also, one of the guys in the video called himself "The Angry Nintendo Nerd" so I expect more of him than the average joe.
crashinator1 Look at ain't the end of the world, of course. But whether you heard or it or not, Pro Wrestling wasn't an average title. Its a little confounding that these are the guys who made "Bimmy and Jimmy" from DD3 a thing but they never heard of "A Winner is You"? Then again, they didn't know about the Death Blossom either so whatever.
crashinator1 also you say you they love wrestling but James had to ask if Piper wore a kilt. Thats like saying you love video games but are shocked that Mario is a plumber.
crashinator1 1) Actually i know Trans Fans who could tell me and have told me all of that, but I digress lol 2) You're treating knowledge of Roddy Piper like its niche knowledge. Roddy Piper is one of the most famous wrestlers of all time, there's a reason he appeared there with Warrior, Hogan, and Taker. He's as iconic as any of them. Your example would make more sense if Louie Spicolli was summoned, who is a guy mainly hardcores know about. Sorry but Piper is must know knowledge if you are a fan of prowrestling.
Thanks for the video, this is pretty funny. But, Mike, I beg you to have a USB game-pad all ready to go when you and James play computer games. Pretty please?
I'm a PC gamer an not even I prefer Mouse+Keyboard for all games bro. It's great for shooters, and strategy games. But for beat em ups or old style NES stuff a gamepad would be just be easier most of the time. Especially for button mashy stuff like that water, and balloon level.
yea im a pc purest and no way would i ever use a mouse and keyboard for fighting or platform games. shooting and racing games yea. but not fighting or platforming
Eh, we'll have to agree to disagree. I think mouse and keyboard is definitely the best option when it comes to any shooting-centered games and isometric strategy games, specially in real time but anything else is way more comfortable to play with a controller imo. I don't think not knowing how to play porperly with kbm is indicative of anything. There's a lot of people who've grown in the PC gaming culture and have no idea of how not to empty a magazine in the wall behind the enemy that's shooting at them. Some people feel the need to expand on their gaming knowledge and get out of the area of comfort and others don't. I think it's okay anyway, regardless of your point of departure. Not everyone has the same tastes and there's nothing wrong with it.
So he's a casual for using a gamepad and not a mouse and keyboard? Do you know how stupid you sound? James has been playing video games for over 30 years, just because he doesn't pc game that often does not make him a casual. You and your kind need to keep your mouth shut because you make gamers look bad.
For people commenting about using an NES controller. I wanted to do that, but when we recorded the video, I couldn't find my NES USB controller adapter anywhere. I found it a few days ago though. Hopefully I'll remember next time we do something NES on PC - Mike
Cinemassacre great video that game is awesome
I had just written a comment about the tick tick ticking, didn't notice the response from you guys, really appreciate the feed back. I figured something was up.
Love your work James.
Great video guys!
You should play Papers Please.
Thank you for talking about Dracula 3000. Been trying to tell people about that movie for a while now.
mike are you guys gonna play the aboes punch out?
Hey guys, thanks for finally doing a playthrough of our game! Was wondering if you'd ever get around to it. Looking forward to part 2!
This is easily the best video game ever made. Yes, even one bit higher than Ninja Baseball Batman.
I miss James and Mike Mondays really bad
Same man😞😞
Same
Binge watching old eps I didn't even know how much I miss it. The new crew are incredibly lame in comparison....
Same
Just re-watched them.
There are 300+ episodes.
Appreciate what we have.
"The Amazon" is from Pro Wrestling for the NES.
yeah surprised they missed that one! ;D
a winner is you!
@@alrauun me 2
This is one of the most entertaining fan games out there
Holy shit yes
Where to find it
@@2dgamecity it is on newgrounds
Agree
This and Mario crossover is the best in my opinion
James: "This game was designed for our kind of people"
Now I feel I belong to a group.
I like your nickname. I was here to waste time anyhow.
that death blossom thing is a move from the movie the last star fighter
I don't get it
@@Blueflag04 you can't belong to our group then
All the wrestlers at the end did their signature moves, thought that was a nice touch.
The left side of that Zelda map is just nuts!
LOL 🥜
Mike’s Peewee impressions and James’ reactions to them crack me up lol
Ultimate Warrior, RRP, Taker and Hogan lol
What a great ending.
This game was purily sensational! And to know the creator of Double Dragon loved this game says quite a lot! They need to make a sequel!
9:50 River City Ransom, also my favorite NES game!
Mike with all the energy here, James looks like he's just had a lobotomy.
Death blossom is from the last starfighter
Great movie was surprised they didn't know it.
Diarrhea!
~Louis Rogan
I was hoping someone would say this so I wouldn't have too. Thanks Sean Spear.
Yeah... I was waiting for them to say that. Disappointed that they didn't!
Maybe they don't know it because they often hate CGI in movies, and The Last Starfighter used a large amount of CGI for its time.
Love you guys and all that you do, all the retro games are a treat when i can't find time to play them at home my self. Your humor is on part with my twisted mind even at the ripe age of 42. Keep up the great work any kick backs you guys get are well deserved for all the hard work and time you put into your videos. Much love from Seattle fellas.
17:40 "You don't shoot the beef now."
_immature joke occurs to him_
"... You just whack it." _both proceed to smile_
It's a sad day when they miss The Last Starfighter reference.
I can't believe they didn't make the connection!
"You don't shoot the beef now, you just whack it." The look on James' face...😂
20:43 It's a cucumber from Ice Climber NES
Well done. 3 out of 4 wrestlers correctly guessed at the ending. the "Tribal guy" was the Ultimate Warrior. Great work for guys that don't seem to be huge wrestling fans.
I've wanted you to play this for a long time. This was absolutely glorious.
21:25 The Amazon from Pro Wrestling 1986 NES
can't believe its taken you this long to play this, i remember thinking you would love this when i played it.
I remember playing this at comicon in 2010 before It was fully released. Such a good game.
This is easily the best video game ever made. Yes, even one bit higher than Ninja Baseball Batman.
This game and Super Mario Crossover were what defined my middle school years. When the teacher told us we could go in the computer lab when we finished our work, I spent the entire remainder of class playing either Mario Crossover or this, because I liked retro games and still do. (Thankfully the teacher didn’t come in and see how bloody and gruesome Abobos big adventure was)
so glad you played this i've suggested it several times on mikes live streams
Amazing game! Can't wait for part 2. I wish this was out on a console.
Mike doing the Pee Wee laugh gets me every time.
You guys realize that this game came out WAY before NES Remix, and around the same time as Super Mario Bros Crossover, but was THE mashup game. We know you PLAYED this game way late, but this game was the Epitome of the NES crossover.
Fucking *PERFECT* PeeWee Herman impression!
It's probably the best impression I do. Thanks for watching -Mike
Cinemassacre “This is Crack”
I know you are but what am I
LOL the death blossom from that old 80's movie The Last Starfighter
20:44 It's a cucumber from Ice Climbers, ding-dongs!
I would know.
In the pc version of Golden Axe, if you rename the sprite files you can play as whatever enemy you want.
Death Blossom was from Last Starfighter
6:40 I think James doesn't have the mentality of a gamer. I've seen this same scenario happen over and over again. He gets flustered with the most common sense challenges and an actual gamer wouldn't have to think about it. they just do it.
Death Blossom is from The Last Starfighter movie.
Yeah I can't believe James missed that.
They were completely oblivious to the Ultimate Warrior being in the ring
I think you get bombarded and swamped with the references and cameos in the game so it's not so bad if you miss a fEVERY MAN’S HEART
ONE DAY BEATS ITS FINAL BEAT, HIS LUNGS BREATHE THEIR FINAL BREATH AND IF WHAT THAT MAN DID IN HIS LIFE MAKES THE BLOOD PULSE THROUGH THE BODY OF OTHERS ANDMAKES THEM BELIEVE DEEPER IN SOMETHING LARGER THAN LIFE, THEN HIS ESSENCE, HIS SPIRIT WILL BE IMMORTALISED.
:D
Yeah, I'm an 80s kid and we got WWF here at the time...
Ville Moilanen
But death blossom is from Overwatch too!
Yeah okay... did not know that, but earlier reference takes preference. In this case your ref might be as good as mine though. :)
This one was amazing, knew most of the games because of you guys. Some I knew myself of course, but not many. Definitely saving this one.
OMG! Death Blossom is from The Last Starfighter.
In case anyone's wondering; the music that's playing when Abobo slams Amazon at the end is from Werewolf: The Last Warrior.
Can we get Mike to reenact the Pee Wee anti drug PSA? "This is crack cocaine. huuhaa"
That is an extremely creative mashup. Good job to whoever made it.
This game's great. I beat it myself years ago and is indeed one of the best of these "kitchen sink" sort of fan game love letters to the 8 bit era.
Death Blossom - "The Last Starfighter". The wrestler- "Ultimate Warrior".A blast to watch you guys! Thanks for playing this for us!
Death blossom is from movie Last Starfighter
2023 and still one of my favorite episodes. Bring back J&M Mondays
Same
They can't
23:00 The last starfighter
we know
i played this game on newgrounds like 6 years ago. it's what got me feeling all nostalgic for a bunch of these games and made me go out and start collecting.
I remember playing (and loving) this game. The games it parodies are pretty spot-on as I recall. Now I want to play it again!
You guys should have linked to the game in the description to play it! But it was awesome seeing you to really enjoying yourselves!
I've seen a lot of shitty game hacks but this one is very well made because of the references and humor
Maybe because its not a shitty game hack, ITS ACTUAL NORMAL GAME, that has so many nintendo games references and jokes. You can play it on Newground.
Im really surprised hulk hogan didnt hotdog and grandstand for ten more mins after dropping that leg.
C'mon team Cinemassacre! Surely you gotta know that Roger Barr from I-Mockery made this game! Great video, great stuff!
They know.
God I mockery is awesome. :P
Woot!
Mike’s Pee Wee impression got me pretty good
I Hope Roger Barr from Imockery knows you're playing his game... the guy sure deserve more recognition :D
Great Choice to play guys!
@17:45 "So you don't shoot the beef. You just whack it", lol. The look on James' face when he realizes what he said, and Mike not even realizing lol.
The Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and Hulk fucking Hogan just killed Amazon, one of my most hated NES characters... I am complete.
I remembered when this came out. It was in dev on i-mockery for quite some time. THey had done some other cool NES tributes too. I-Mockery was such an awesome site to read in the early 2000's
Does there need to be a Nerd episode about Pro Wrestling now? It's not a great game, but it's one of the iconic ones to me.
It's certainly an icon of shit.
LOL
they didn't even know what it was.
This is one of my favourite flash games. Love your commentary, especially when you think it's the end haha. Look forward to finishing. Also, amazing Pee Wee impression.
Hey James and Mike, can I make a request? Since it's sonic the hedgehogs 25th anniversary, maybe you could play sonic generations, pc or console, any version? It's really good
We're not James or Mike but we played through Sonic 2 a while back. How's Generations?
The Gray Market Safari Generations is awesome, my favorite sonic game
Good call. We'll totally have sandwiches next time we record.
Only if we can find a way to stream the smell. We would want to SHARE a moment like that.
Oh yes that'll be cool
This game is a product of the absolute best side of 'nerd' culture. What a beautiful love letter to 80s-90s pop culture.
Neither of you have seen The Last Starfighter? It's where Death Blossom comes from.
nope and neither have i
Hell yeah! The Last Starfighter is amazing.
This has to be the single greatest thing I have ever seen.
great video guys can't wait till part 2
Can't belive I'm only seeing this now, given how long I've been watching AVGN and Board James. So many other great videos I've missed!
One of the best fan games ever made, best enjoyed with a USB NES converter.
This game is shockingly well done.
There should've been another phase to the Amazon fight, where he powers up into a Transformer and becomes Amazon Prime :) I also liked the Starfighter reference in the Balloon Fight stage.
Omg WOW!! Abobo's big adventure is one of the very best imaginative "all-star" games!! Damn, this looks REALLY fun to play! Major kudos to the one who made it. Sincerely

I just think it's weird that they would go through drawing every enemy a cool portrait but not look up their real names!
This game looks amazing and awesome retro. I really want to play it
I want that sweet Indy T-shirt.
Gotta love Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! I saw it in the movie theater. Great times. -Mike
castlevania in space the main boss is the xenomorph
I was one of the ones who asked you guys to try this years back, that is cool you guys got a chance to check it out!
haha Death Blossom is from the Last Star Fighter.
There have been a lot of crossovers done but Abobos Big Adventure is just excellent. Superbly done
I glad to see the good work of the old Roger of I-mockery here, i am fan from him since 10 years.
I'm sure James and Mike would get along amazingly with Roger. Maybe we'll see them all together in something sometime.
27:53 top left is the Ultimate Warrior
Wow I requested you guys to play this game about 3 years ago. Good to see you guys finally playing it. By the way there are a lot of secrets in this game. For example, before you "finish him" you wait 10 seconds and do a "Friendship" on your opponent.
Amazon from Pro Wrestling on Nes
It's a real shame that "Super Mario Bros. Crossover" has vanished from the internet. You can't find it anymore :(
About time you guys did this game. Now time to do Super Mario Bros. Crossover, Kung Fu Remix, Mega Man In The Mushroom Kingdom, Street Fighter X Megaman & Megaman 8 Bit Battle Network
Fuck yeah, Abobo's Big Adventure is awesone! And James is the best candidate to play it ever.
Are you guys really not familiar with Roger or iMockery?
They're friends :-)
You think they would know more about this game and his humor style then. Its a pickleman hat not shit pickle.
+Nick Pasto
Omg you responded to my comment. I love your games. You're awesome.
Didn't realize he was one of the games creators. I am obligated to belive him then, and also great job! This game is kick ass!
Actually that was a pickle from the "Ice Climber" game, although it would be cool if it were a reference to Pickleman from I-Mockery!
OK! They geeked out waaaaaaay to little on this game!
I couldnt even sit still!! This is madness! So awesome!
Cinemassacre and i-mockery together at last? How in the hell has it taken this long?
Good things come to those who wait. ;)
Roger Barr from I-Mockery, YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
This game looks fantastic!!!! Bring on episode 2.
So I figure I'm the 20,000th guy to say this but... come on, ya didn't know the Amazon and the game Pro Wrestling? Thats classic Nintendo! Then again, it sounded like ya didn't even know Roddy Piper was lol (and yes he wears a kilt), so wrestling's probably not your thing.
crashinator1 Look fair point, but Pro Wrestling is a damn near iconic game with multiple memes and famous characters coming from it. Also, one of the guys in the video called himself "The Angry Nintendo Nerd" so I expect more of him than the average joe.
crashinator1 Look at ain't the end of the world, of course. But whether you heard or it or not, Pro Wrestling wasn't an average title. Its a little confounding that these are the guys who made "Bimmy and Jimmy" from DD3 a thing but they never heard of "A Winner is You"? Then again, they didn't know about the Death Blossom either so whatever.
crashinator1 also you say you they love wrestling but James had to ask if Piper wore a kilt. Thats like saying you love video games but are shocked that Mario is a plumber.
crashinator1 1) Actually i know Trans Fans who could tell me and have told me all of that, but I digress lol 2) You're treating knowledge of Roddy Piper like its niche knowledge. Roddy Piper is one of the most famous wrestlers of all time, there's a reason he appeared there with Warrior, Hogan, and Taker. He's as iconic as any of them. Your example would make more sense if Louie Spicolli was summoned, who is a guy mainly hardcores know about. Sorry but Piper is must know knowledge if you are a fan of prowrestling.
ZachAttack84 Agreed!
Well done whoever made this. looks awesome!
Thanks for the video, this is pretty funny. But, Mike, I beg you to have a USB game-pad all ready to go when you and James play computer games. Pretty please?
I'm a PC gamer an not even I prefer Mouse+Keyboard for all games bro. It's great for shooters, and strategy games. But for beat em ups or old style NES stuff a gamepad would be just be easier most of the time. Especially for button mashy stuff like that water, and balloon level.
yea im a pc purest and no way would i ever use a mouse and keyboard for fighting or platform games. shooting and racing games yea. but not fighting or platforming
MegaDudeman21 Why do you prefer keyboard and mouse for racing games?
Eh, we'll have to agree to disagree. I think mouse and keyboard is definitely the best option when it comes to any shooting-centered games and isometric strategy games, specially in real time but anything else is way more comfortable to play with a controller imo.
I don't think not knowing how to play porperly with kbm is indicative of anything. There's a lot of people who've grown in the PC gaming culture and have no idea of how not to empty a magazine in the wall behind the enemy that's shooting at them. Some people feel the need to expand on their gaming knowledge and get out of the area of comfort and others don't. I think it's okay anyway, regardless of your point of departure. Not everyone has the same tastes and there's nothing wrong with it.
So he's a casual for using a gamepad and not a mouse and keyboard? Do you know how stupid you sound? James has been playing video games for over 30 years, just because he doesn't pc game that often does not make him a casual. You and your kind need to keep your mouth shut because you make gamers look bad.
Thanks for show this game, i didn't know that exists and now i'm playing and i love it!!!
"They should do Castlevania in space."
You mean Metroid? (Granted it's got more in common with the sequels than the original)
Finally. I requested this game for James and Mike to do years ago. Bout time. This game is amazing. Have fun boys.
I like how they say that after Nintendo did it It's already old. THIS GAME HAS BEEN OUT FOR AGES!
Yeah but they didn't mean it with this one, just the genre.
I remember playing and beating this in my high school programming class, such good times!
The game with Amazon is indeed called Pro Wrestling. It kicks ass!
Music at 21.21 is from the waterlevel in Ironsword (Wizard and Warriors II). =D
21:23 Pro Wrestling of course. How could you forget?
The best wrestling game ever! So disappointed!
At 2:09 we see that the Abobo is fighting a character called "Scut Farkus". Scut Farkus is the name of the bully in the film "A Christmas Story".
