SNES Wizard of Oz game...

Proof that Wizard of Oz adaptations are wildly uneven

The Angry Video Game Nerd, the George Carlin of crappy games, got this SNES "gem" in his hands.

Video is NSFW, as AVGN curses like the proverbial sailor.

Highlights (cut for potty-mouth):


"I always thought that was sketchy. Why does Glinda have such disregard for Dorothy's safety? Having the Ruby Slippers makes her a target for the Wicked Witch. It's not like Dorothy asked for the damn slippers! Also, why doesn't she tell her that she could click her heels anytime and go home? Fucking bitch."

"Killer chairs? Is this Wizard of Oz or Pee-Wee's Playhouse?"

(On the Lion) "As far as attacks go, he has this weird bitch-slap."

Of course, there's a touch of irony in this game. Dorothy's attack is primarily an ineffective kick, but she's also set up as a magic user (of sorts). The Tinman cannot jump or duck (so THAT'S why Wyatt gets shot twice...).

the bad crack
