I actually liked Milon's Secret Castle a lot as a kid. I don't think I ever finished it, but it was still pretty fun.

Entertaining review. Interesting fact, he was using the European version of Milon's Secret Castle.
I never played much of Milon's Secret Castle, but I would have reacted much like the Nerd when I realized some of the things further down the line.
He should have at least mentioned that it got a sequel in Japan and that it was way better than this one.

GREAT review. I *hated* this game as a kid, mostly because of all the endless secrets, like the Nerd mentions.
Nice new video segments for the intro too. I noticed NES Anticipation, which is an outrage, since that game rules.
.
I highly doubt he knew. His entertainment level is outstanding, but his gaming historian level is lacking. He's on the job learning though (he seems to have mostly focused on the NES growing up), and getting better. Not a knock, I love his shows more than any reviewer online.
I only briefly played Milon's Secret Castle, but I actually liked it. Maybe I haven't played it enough to get sick of it yet.
There are far worse games out there, why not do Total Recall instead? I don't think he did that one yet.
My question for that game is how did it even make it out of production like that? Where the programmers too far stuffed up their butts to see how how it was to figure out?
Heh..
I really like this review. I honestly think he's getting better. As far as the historian goes.. I also saw it lacking but I very much doubt beyond the bad game play and the japan sequel there's not much else to say about it.
Can anyone tell me the game that's in the intro at :27?
Good review. I remember my friends mom (who was really good at NES games for some unknown reason) playing and beating this game. It took her ages. She used to leave for work and would pause it and we couldn't play Nintendo all day because there was no save feature.
She beat the whole game without cheating or strategy guides, somehow.
Also glad to see the AVGN focusing on the game over theatrics again.

I hated Milon's secret Castle.
I do agree that Milon's Secret Castle isn't a good game, but man, the nerds videos are just getting boring and repetitive. I'd honestly like to see him release another video that's atleast as good as his Sega 32X video.
I thought I also saw Crystalis in the opening.
*edit*
Yes. Crystalis is in the opening. So is Solar Jetman and Astyanax. All three good games.
It's been said before, the games he shows in his intros are just random shots of games. It doesn't mean they are bad or that he is going to review them.
Milon's Secret Castle. About time someone spoke up about that piece of garbage!
These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
