The Angry Video Game Nerd is back and he's taking a deep dive into the world of video games once again. In this episode, entitled "The Crow," he explores a classic game that was released in 1994 for the Sega Genesis. The game is based on the popular movie of the same name and follows the story of a man who is brought back to life to seek revenge on his killers.

As the Nerd begins to play the game, he quickly realizes that it's nothing like the movie it's based on. The graphics are poor, the gameplay is clunky, and there are numerous glitches and bugs that make it almost impossible to progress through certain levels. Despite his frustrations, the Nerd pushes on and eventually uncovers some interesting tidbits about the game's development and history.

One of the most intriguing aspects of "The Crow" game is the fact that it was developed by a small team of people who were working out of a garage. The Nerd interviews one of the game's developers and learns about the challenges they faced in creating the game on such a tight budget. He also explores the marketing tactics that were used to promote the game when it was released, including a bizarre TV commercial featuring an actor dressed up as the Crow character.

Along the way, the Nerd also shares his thoughts and opinions on other games that were released around the same time as "The Crow." He compares it to other popular games of the era, like Super Mario World and Mortal Kombat, and talks about the impact those games had on the video game industry as a whole.

As always, the Angry Video Game Nerd isn't afraid to speak his mind and offer up his brutally honest opinions about the games he reviews. However, he also takes the time to appreciate the history and significance of each game, no matter how flawed it may be. Fans of the show will love seeing the Nerd back in action and exploring another classic game from his childhood.
