Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 176: Raid 2020. 11 years ago the Nerd said he might review Raid 2020 in the year 2020, and now that time has come. Raid 2020 is a cyberpunk action game developed and published by Color Dreams AKA Wisdom Tree for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It was released in 1989. The object is to defeat all the drug dealers, defeat the drug lord Pit Bull, and eradicate drugs from the streets of America. As agent Shadow, the player faces a dystopian future world where moral collapse is inevitable. He is described as representing the last uncorrupted vestiges of law enforcement.

"They're actually broadcasting the drugs via satellite" Yep, social media addiction is real in 2020's

Looks like a lazy ripoff of Cyberpunk 2013 … 😕

Not to be confused with Raid Shadow Legends.

Easily the worst game on the NES. I'm one of those weirdos who will actually defend Deadly Towers, as I have a lot of childhood nostalgia for it. I even beat it legitimately a few times over the years. But, seriously, Raid 2020 has ZERO redeeming qualities. I'm doubly impressed that James had the patience to finish this one.

"Sir, we have to change the nuclear launch code. Some Nerd accurately guessed it."
"The one where you tap the B button before holding it?"
"No, the one where you spread the Konami code across four NES controllers."

Our story begins with the Nintendo corporation committing blatant tortious interference.

In between the names Color Dreams and Wisdom Tree the company became Bunch Games. They released five games before rebranding to Wisdom Tree, one of which you reviewed already, Tagin' Dragon.

Using time travel to sell drugs has to be the most OP use of time travel I've ever heard of.

7:50 I knew it was a bit when he said the sport was popular in Eastern Europe and South Africa. Seems like he just picked two off the top of his head
