  • After this marvelous and unforgettable experience with Mr. Heavy Doll Nova, I strongly recomend you go "watch out for pits" on SWORD OF SODAN!

  • Nobody seems to point out that Classic Game Room came out in 1999 so to say that CGR ripped off AVGN is stupid. It would be the other way around if you wanted to go there. They are entirely two different shows and they are both good in their own right.

  • The confusion most encounter with Heavy Nova is all the moves are Range-dependent; meaning each ability is governed by how close or far you are from the enemy.

    When younger, I loved playing kusoge games. xD Call me a masochist, but somehow playing kusoge made me better in more popular games.

  • wonder how it would play with the Atari 2600 controller

  • hilarious. you can hear GENUINE disgust in his voice. I listened to the intro over and over while chemically enhanced. The opening music is downright awesome, I translated it to guitar, bass, and synth, and my crappy band is going to play it at a crappy bar in a few weeks... I wonder if anyone will recognize it.... probably not.

  • Once your energy/power bar hits a low, you won't be able to get up, even if you had some health left. *But it can be recharged.* You have to press a button rapidly; can't remember which 1. Probably button C. If you do it fast enough, youll get a spike of energy, allowing you to get up before your opponent grabs you from the floor. Again, my rapid fire controller helped.

  • I actually got used to the controls/pace so I envoyed it. You have 2 bars: health & energy. I was lucky I had a 'rapid fire' controller. It allowed me to kick-start my generator. So, like the AI, i could suddently get a spike of energy, get up, & retaliate. Not the best game, but still OK. There is a Hollywood robot fighting movie comming out. Has the X-men Wolverine actor in it.

  • I played this when I was a kid. Its good to know back then I wasn't just awful at games, and it really is hard to control.

  • So this is where Mark got the idea of Erath on thw Wind Squid series.

  • this looks like that other robot fighting game you played that you didn't like.

  • Have you guys seen the ad of this game!? on the bottom it says, {SOLD OUT}

    LOL, HORSE SHIT!

  • As a child, I had no sense of what bad games and controls were, so I would keep getting my ass grilled in this game thinking that it was because I sucked at it! I still had a lot of fun playing it though, and a lot of the time I would just sit there and listen to the opening music. Great review Mark!

  • Каркас игы взяли с cyber justige

  • i remember really wanting this just cos of the cover art and my mates big bro said it was crap..1st time i ever seen gameplay..i used to tyake my mates big bro's word as law and it seems he was right after all!

  • I used to play this game when I was much younger (hell, I used to own the manual for it!) and I've found that DOLL is an acronym.

    Defensive

    Offensive

    Lethal

    Liberator

  • I actually distinctly remember getting frustrated enough with this stupid game, to yank the cartridge, hose it down in the sink, then microwave it. Seriously. Far more entertaining than the game itself ever was.

  • After owning this game for 8 years +, I never made it to Level 2, I couldn't bother to finish the the beginning 3 bosses

  • Don't say its the worst game.... I playe it and beat it(: u just have to get used to it and seriously, its a ten year old game. Don't be mean.

  • @Inlorfaze

    No, it is the worst of the genesis. Freaking collision detection from hell.

  • @Inlorfaze Twenty years... and age is not an excuse, you seriously think back then everybody loved crap and that's why video games became such financial hits?

  • @Inlorfaze You must have owned harldy any games for the genesis at all if you really wasted your time with this. You could have spent your time better playing Cyborg Justice

  • yea at least the sound track is good! bring back memorys

  • Good job fighting the revels of Erath! haha =P Where's Wind Squid in the Erath history?

  • cyborg justice uses a lot of same sprites

  • @Jaya365 You are right! but creators of this game, did not make fine controls.

  • I'm impressed with your patience, Mark, I would have been smashing this cartridge with a hammer halfway through the first level.

  • I remember the intro sequence hyping me up for what I thought was going to be an absolutely incredible game. It turned out to be the biggest letdown of my entire life. Mark is really not exaggerating when he calls it possibly the worst game he has ever played. It's really that bad. I don't know how they could do some things so well yet get the gameplay so wrong. It even makes Cyborg Justice look like a classic.

  • Let's get avgn to review this game

  • I REMEMBER THIS GAME. Oh god, its awful.

    When I was really young, my friend gave me a good chunk of games for Genesis. This was one of them. I shouldn't complain, they were all free. But no, in this case, I will complain. I'm with Mark, this is probably the worst game I've played.

  • That timer during fights seems to have some screws loose too. Each second it counts takes like 5 seconds IRL.

  • That power meter thing is probably the stupidest thing i've ever seen in a game 0_o

  • HAMMER KNACKLE!

  • it can't be any worse than Shaq Fu :P

  • @redeem5

    Oh it is, at least when you press buttons while you're play Shaq Fu things happen on screen that resemble a video game.

  • @Obviously I think this game resembles a video game O.o

  • guess well send BIMMY AND JIMMY after the rebels to defend ERATH, to see the ending screen:

    Conglaturation! You have completed a great game.

    And prooved the justice of our culture.

    Now go and rest our heroes!

    haha nice compilation of video game typos :)

  • Did you actually play this in 1990? Yes it's a horrible game but you didn't describe the gameplay correctly, as though this video was your first playthrough

  • this had a sequel on sega cd

    for reasons unknown to me

    since this one was so bad

    black hole assault

  • @MrAmonkey7 The game for SCD was not a sequel, it was the original one. And that was the same horrible game, only with better music and some cutscenes...

  • Wow, this game looks frustrating.

  • Wow the game sucks even the sprites suck!

  • lol, this is the worst game ever. I picked it up a while back because the cartridge looked cool... and it was $1. Little did I know it would be so terrible.

  • WTF so now only AVGN can review games?

    And i dunno if the guy you called Mark a ripp off ever saw the 2 shows they are so different!

    And i must say Classic game room is way better than AVGN!

  • Just found this game in my house - it's this bad, I thought my B button was broken until I put another game in.

  • I used to have this game and it was horrible!! Though my younger brother and I were pretty damn good at this game.... it was still horrible.

  • Erath??? thats alost as bad as bimy and jimy fro double dragon 3

  • the robot reminds me of cyborg justice for the sega genisis look it up its funner and better i used to play Cyborg justice thumb this up if u agree

  • God I hated this game when I was a kid. Believe it or not you can actually get really good at the fighting sequences if you play this game long enough (and I don't mean by just jabbing and dodging your opponent to death). But ya, this game sucked and I haven't played it in years but just by looking at this video I remember how bad this game was.

  • Never been to Erath. I wonder what it's like.

  • Mark needs to play some Vectorman.

  • This game was the First game I bought for Genesis... and Honestly, I thought it was amazing back then...

    The Graphic were by far the best the system had to offer, along with the sheer size of the robots, completely exploded my mind... I was used to playing games like River City Ransom, where graphics were sacrificed for gameplay...

    Finally, I got a SEGA, and I think I got this game for $29 and My sister Bought Klax for $9... but the Graphics were just so good... The controls... not so much.

  • gotta b better den shaq fu

  • LOL this looks only slightly more playable than SLAUGHTER SPORT!

  • my friend and I were playing some old crappy video games and recording it for our new youtube show, and we just recorded our Heavy Nova play-session last night. Good times... .... ... :(

  • Vector Man is still the best robot game for genesis.

  • Got this game when I was a kid for $5 or something in the early 90's and although it IS a shitty game, I did figure out how to play it and get through it. Whatcha gonna do? There was no Funcoland or GameStop in my area at that time.

    Actually, in case no one already knew, the fighting is position-based and not combination based. If you are 50px from your opponent and press kick or punch, that will trigger a different action than if you're 1 or 25px away. Terrible friggen design, but great music!

  • Fuck this fucking game and fuck you!

  • I used to rent this game from time to time for sega genesis from blockbuster. Now the game had a great concept, still does. It lacked controls, this is what killed it. Perhaps if they were more responsive it would be ok. This is by far not the worst game on earth, another sega genesis game actually beats Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. This game was known as Cyber-Cop there is zero direction, zero way to know what you are doing, try it out, you will lose interest in 3 minutes.

  • This is just like Black hole assault and you have nailed them both with your critique of this game. They are two infuriating clangers from gaming hell and they should be sent back there along with the those who made it all happen this way so they can be made to play them until they weep!

  • Looks like quite an unfortunate videogame

  • I actually liked it, it just had controls that felt too much like a heavy robot.

  • I remember this one. I liked the music... but it was fucking terrible, terrible game play.

  • I know this all too well. I played the game when I was 7. Ithought this game is going to be good but it turned out to be the biggest mother load of shit I have played a long time ago. The graphics are very good ahead of its time and intro was inspiring when will Micronet learn that GRAPHICS QUALITY DOES NOT A GOOD GAME MAKE! The controls are cyptic. No wonder I lose in the boss stages!

  • a game that you actually hate more than Far Cry Vengeance; i never thought i would see the day. love your reviews CGR

  • When i was a kid, i liked this. I replayed it again a few days ago.

    MY GOD...

    Just, wow.

  • CLASSIC GAME ROOM PWNS ALL!!!!

  • LMFAO! i was looking for a game that i played when i was younger where you customized your robot, but i was young and didnt know how to play it really but i loved it. but i came across this video and im glad i stuck around, i loved your comments and analogies lmao

  • holy aids this game is handicapped xD

  • I liked this game.  I did i really did.

  • Has anyone ever played the first Lego Star Wars for the DS? Now that was a game that was truly incomplete. The glitches and bugs in that game were so bad that in some areas of the game... You could not progress any further!!!

    Ghostbusters for the DS was another really bad game!

    I really liked the review!

  • Heavy Nova itself is not a bad game, it is the controls that suck. If the controls would have been more responsive, this game would have been a hit. And yes, this game does have a sequal, it is called Blackhole assult for sega cd.

  • Game does look pretty lame.

  • lol

  • thia is fucking funny

  • Mark is miles away from the AVGN. Anyway, controls should not be difficult, they should be fluid and intuitive. Difficult controls are a sign of bad game design.

    About Resident Evil, RE has always sucked, still sucks, and when RE6 (the supposed reboot of the franchise) is released, that will suck.

  • @gszx1337

    Amazingly you've managed to come off as even more stupid and ignorant than this lawstunner guy, congrats.

  • this guy has been around since the late 90''s lol

  • @ lawstruner

    How the fuck can Mark be an AVGN ripoff if Mark started in 1999 and The AVGN started in 2004 ????

  • @newjack1879 that and he doesnt insult games to be cool. mark says good or bad about game based on what he thinks of it. people see one negative review and they think he is a rip off....people are stupid

  • @newjack1879

    1) avgn started in 2001 but 2)They arn't really doing the same thing, AVGN reviews bad games for laughs, this guy reviews all games for fun

  • @newjack1879 The answer is simple, the person who said that is stupid. : D

  • @newjack1879 Yeah, he's nothing like AVGN. Someone once said, I forget who, Mark is like, "This game is awesome it just needs more flamethrowers and a port on the Vectrex" and AVGN is like, "FUCK THIS GAME IT RUINED MY CHILDHOOD!"

  • @newjack1879 Because no one can ever review a video game ever again with out being a rip off of AVGN. Duh. Same goes for movies. Don't push open our minds with logic. AVGN fan boys all the way! BLAH BLAH BLAH! :)

  • So you beat the game a couple of weeks ago?

  • @lawsturner Great, another idiot who doesn't read descriptions or say facts. Seriously, check the guy's history. It's more like AVGN was inspired from him (See how I used inspired instead of rip-off'd?).

  • @troy1002x lots of people are stupid when it comes to classic game room. they think he rips off avgn cus he makes one negative review. well heres something they should know, mr nerd doesnt own copywrite on making negative reviews, anyone can do it if they dont like the game

    also they fail to notice that mark makes a majority of positive reviews for the games, he likes a shit load of games from all eras and platforms, he is not a rip off of anyone, he doesnt insult games to be cool as avgn does

  • @Amaranthus616 damn character limits but yeah, mark gives his honest opinion on a game, nobody tells him what to say but himself and doesnt slander things cus its "cool" to do so. no what mark says about games is from what he honestly thinks of them, good or bad. i have a great deal of respect for mark cus he does proper reviews, informative, plays it properly and what he thinks of it. unlike avgn and others who just insult the game without giving it a proper chance or even playing it properly

  • Lol. Worst game on ERATH!!!!

  • @YodaHasNoGrammer and we all know ERATH, has lots of bad games. 

  • @YodaHasNoGrammer it's so true! I have this game, and I completely agree, this is the worst game ever.

  • Comment removed

  • Supposedly there's a Mega CD version of Heavy Nova. It's probably identical with better-sounding music, though.

  • the only good side of "Heavy Nova" was the 2-player battle but the game was slaggish though and I thought it was going to be like "Street fighter" or "Street of rage" lucky I only rented this

  • What drove you to make that comment? I love that you lowered yourself to using gay jokes. That's representative of your maturity, since you sold like a 12 year old.

  • and fuck you this guy is awesome and you sir suck the balls

  • haha ive never even seen this video before ill bet my friend was being a dick on my account thats awesome. oh well looks like hes right.

  • Comment removed

  • Well, at least you found the name for your wind squid planet here...

  • Damn your spam!

  • I enjoyed this review of yours.

    You get the impression that this game was not finished yet but rushed to production and release.

    In Japanese it is difficult to hear the difference between a the 'b' and 'v' sound, hence the error. But the proofreader should have seen these errrors.

  • I remember renting this game back in the day and thinking the control was awful. It's no where near the worst game ever though. You must have had a pretty good video game life if you've never played anything worse.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • lol I remember kicking so much it got annoying. I beat the hell out of this and never looked back. frustration removed......

  • You saved ERATH? Lucky bastard, I just avoided the game haha.

  • I remember a rumor that this game had been made by High school students.... I'm not which is worse this or Atomic Robo Kid.

  • A pal gave me this game for free when I was buying some other video games from him. I almost told him to keep it.

  • this game is a piece of garbage!

  • This game is awesome is there any chance to find it and download it for PC??

  • gaim over man

  • good ideas, bad execution :S

  • I remember purchasing this game with my hard-saved cash(at the tender age of 14 y/o)and being mildly excited by it. What I really should've done, was to get the SEGA Genesis cartridge that I truly coveted:Fighting Masters, a simple yet satisfying 16-bit fighting game that I found strangely addictive!! Hey dude, do a Review of Fighting Masters for the SEGA Genesis/MegaDrive.... you'll probably become a bit enamoured by Fighting Masters after the first 15-minutes of playtime! Retro-tastic!!

  • 11:40 "This is without a doubt the worst video game on Erath."

    Nice callback ^_^

  • How can something with killer robots be so bad? It makes no sense, but the evidence is conclusive. 'tis a dark day in Mega Drive Land.

  • the 1v1 fighting reminds me of rise of the robots

  • About the control I AGREEE XD

    But the game is awesome! specialy the pink robot

  • Music A+

    Rest of the game F-

    Terrible game. The only thing worth to do is to rip the music, and put it on your hd.

  • The only decent thing about this game is the music.

  • So many people commenting here owned this game.

    WHY?

  • I... just don't know. The box art just has something about it that makes you want to buy it.

  • This is, without a doubt, the best video game review EVAR!!!

    I was laughing my ass off because I once owned this game and I can totally relate to the reviewers sentiments!

  • I guess me and my brother were the only people who liked this game. I had fun playing this game when i was younger.

  • Looks like a horrible attempt to cash in on the popularity of Mobile Suit Gundam and final fight at the same time.

  • i had black hole assault for the mega cd, was along time ago but i remember the best part was that you could train your own AI warrior to play against the cpu or anouther player

  • 1:30 samus much?

    what an awful game.

  • Oh yeah I forgot to mention the sequel to Heavy Nova is on the Sega CD. It is called "Black Hole Assault".

  • i had black hole assault for sega cd, if i could remember it was like whatever, im going to check here on youtube to refreash my memorie, but i remember one cool thing was it had a code to play pong! the robots were sd on the pong part and they hit the ball back and forword like pong!

  • Epic music on this game. But gameplay itself is just horrible. Too bad the reviewer didnt get to the end boss. The end boss is just a golden colored copy of your robot. The music on the last stage is sick though.

  • I didn't get to the end boss on this game either. I only got to the first boss and I got killed on there. I did a shitty review on it on my channel.

  • I am in love with the intro music to this game. It is just superb.

  • OMG words cant even discribe how horrible this game is i bought it when i was 5 i kept it for 2 hours then threw it outside lol

  • Erath where is that?

  • These are the composers of the music in this awful game from Micronet Co. Ltd:

    Studio River Kids,

    T. Iijima,

    and Shaka

    Again, the game had a great concept, but it had: "The most horrible game controls on Erath".

  • Micronet Co. Ltd. did a great job with the music in this game, but I do agree with you. The controls in this game are god-awful!

  • this game is garbage

  • i remember renting this when i was like 12. i dont remember playing the single player but the 2 player fighting seemed to entertain me and my brothers for alittle while. never could figure out how to do "abilities". like you said it seemed to happen at random. after being bored and pissed at it we would just pop sonic 2 back in or something. i might download the rom or something just to check it out again.

  • God damn. I got this game when I was 11 or so, cause it looked cool in a gaming magazine. It's amazing and unfortunate how long you'll play a shitty game when you're young because you just shelled out $60 for it. The control was so slow and clunky!

  • lol i remember wasting alot of time on this game - 4 sure total ass. genesis seemed to have quite a few titles like that

  • E.T is worse :D

  • According to the back of the box you're trying to become the "Heavy Nova" the deadliest warrior in the universe. Hell, even the manual isn't really finished. Whoever designed it was very sloppy at his job. But there are some cool hand drawn versions of the DOLLs in the book.

  • There's a game you must try Classic Game Room guy, if you like giant transforming robots and blowing up other robots, get and review Ranger-X for Genesis, it's absolutely amazing.

  • The begining kinda looks like the 3DO Startup.

  • I used to have this game. It came in handy when I got pissed at how cheap other games were so I would toss this cartridge at a wall to keep me from breaking the actual game that ticked me off lol

  • what a great deception, how could I play that crap when was kid??

  • LOL turn off the slow motion mode! The kick up was pretty cool but geez is it over-used so it really isn't cool anymore already.

    This game is dog meat at best. This is just shameful.

  • haha who gave me a minus for that comment? Show yourself ;P Seriously, the only reason why I stuck with this review is because Mark is awesome otherwise this was a painful review to watch because the game was just so bad. Worst game on planet Erath.

  • There I evened ya out. Your entitled to your opinion. *high five for free speech*

  • and a slap in the face for douche-ness

  • I used to play this when i was little..lol

  • Worst game on Erath !!! Ha ha .... great typos..

  • This game looks as if it was directly ported from the GameBoy to the MegaDrive, the graphics are very sluggish, and the sounds are boring.

  • no way

  • the only way to beat this game is to beat it like a trailer park wife.

  • great f**ing review man!

    love the commentaries:)

  • You should review Daikatana. Now that is a shitty game we can all love to hate.

  • i remember this.i watched my player lay there for 10 min only to finally get up and get knocked out for anothr 10 min to get up again for another punch. by that time my genesis was ready for another punch as well. still, i would've beaten the game..right?

  • That game suck, even watching it and not even playing it i can tell this game just plan suck!!

  • I think this wasn't worth your dollar...

  • 1-not a giant robot, until black hole assault

    2-the game is about robots made by power people (corps ceos, miltary,etc) to see who robot is the best model and earn the title of heavy nova

    3-the robots, move very realistic for a game, think of all the math and physics behind getting a robot to funtion like that

    Fans of this game, don't be mad at him, he obviously didn't get the manual for the game from the prevous owner, anyway now you and everyone else now know what the game is about

  • If you were really interested in the intricacies of robotic technology, wouldn't you build a robot instead of playing a video game? People play video games to live out their fantasies. Given the choice between Android Assault and playing as a robot who's barely on par with ASIMO, I'll go with Android Assault every time.

  • Android Assault or Bari Arm is a fun, i own it, but heavy nova tries to be more realistic in how the robot moves, look at how clussmy the robot moves, and in real life all bipedal robot i have seen move clussmy compared to us. But...in time we will perfect the math and technology to make them move better

  • Manual Shmanual - The game is SHIT. There's never been an excuse for how poorly it plays. Music is pretty dope though, but otherwise, crap.

  • that is true, but it has grown on me

  • So a gigantic robot built for battle in space doing a nip-up is "very realistic"?

  • wow u sound really pissed like u wana blow up the erath lol

  • I must be the only person on this planet that really LOVES this game!

  • Not True I have it and i Love it too

  • Nope I like it too. It is very frusterating, however I loved the upgrading, and the idea of it.

  • Its like an even shittier version of Rise of the Robots! Maybe that could be your next review?

  • This game was given to me as a present and I stopped playing, because I couldn't control my guy when my power meter was at zero. Terrible f***ing game.

  • I think that you lost 1 dollar xD

  • Very well-produced and funny review. I like how you always jokingly apologize to the game by saying things such as "I mean heavy doll". :)

  • I think the heavy doll should have apologized to me! However I did get my $1 worth for the laugh at Erath -mark
