Partly an exercise to show how easily the designers could have taken any of the game assets and done something interesting with them, especially the awful, nebulous maps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-85953825343071781572015-08-15T13:43:49.136+01:002015-08-15T13:43:49.136+01:00Well Vandel is a better gamer than I if he somehow...Well Vandel is a better gamer than I if he somehow forced the game to cooperate so it could be completed. You're probably the first to finish the game properly, so congrats! I hope you took video so I can see it to believe it.<br /><br />Glad my Nerves of Stupid video series was helpful in navigating this train wreck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-43071506880177692872015-01-20T04:37:23.201+00:002015-01-20T04:37:23.201+00:00Congratulations, Vandel!

I certainly didn't look back after writing this post.<br /><br />I've never heard of the Nerves of Stupid series... I'm honestly a little worried that there's other people playing this thing! (Voluntarily!) Does nobody read the health warnings any more?mecha-nekohttp://superadventuresingaming.blogspot.com/search/label/mecha-nekonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-34233401530408405582015-01-11T23:00:26.859+00:002015-01-11T23:00:26.859+00:00An update for all interested parties (which may in...An update for all interested parties (which may include no one). I finished this atrocity last night. Yes, I spent my Saturday night beating this thing. Oh God. Anyway, if you did the "Nerves of Stupid" YouTube series, thank you. It helped me get past Episode 3 Level 3, and the music is much better in those videos. Anyway, the last level mixes up the switches. The one that takes you to the end is in the lower right quadrant of the map, I'm not sure if you need to shoot that goofball in a cape first. Anyway, the switch has a red light marking in a triangular pattern in front of it. In the ending, they threaten a sequel by implying that the cape guy is still alive. <br /><br />In conclusion, it's official: Nerves of Steel is the worst MS-DOS FPS ever made. I've read of something called Angst: Rahz's Revenge, but from the YouTube video I found, it looks like it's not really worse than Nerves of Steel. They're both terrible.Vandelhttp://www.ruthlessreviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-7225481351854607942015-01-06T19:53:15.933+00:002015-01-06T19:53:15.933+00:00I recently wrote up an article on TekWar, and it&#...I recently wrote up an article on TekWar, and it's sent me into playing some terrible FPSs for "research purposes". Anyway, I'm (not) glad to report that last night I successfully played through Episode 2 of Nerves of Steel. The last level is an insane teleporter maze with absolutely no rhyme or reason, but I did find the exit switch. For some reason, I got the blue and red keycards, but no yellow keycard. The exit switch was in a central room similar to the one where the blue keycard was found. I have no idea how I beat it, and am still confused, but it is possible. Am I the only person in history to perform this feat?Vandelhttp://www.ruthlessreviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-12911589621051966182014-11-18T10:26:08.717+00:002014-11-18T10:26:08.717+00:00I made a youtube playlist of this game to share my...I made a youtube playlist of this game to share my misery with the world after finishing it. And by "finish" I mean "gave up after realizing how broken and unfinished the level design is." Episodes 2 and 3 cannot possibly be completed, due to a broken teleporter and a missing key respectively. This game is an affront to graphics and gameplay in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-15805517315010804242014-02-23T16:28:05.492+00:002014-02-23T16:28:05.492+00:00This.

I was surprised by your avoidance in mentioning any nauseua you experienced while playing this game, because the poorly reverbed sound effects mixed with the bright neon wall colors that are indistinguishable from the ceiling and floor textures of identical vomit inducing neon was enough to make me feel disoriented and stop playing after reaching the third level. Did I mention that tthe same song plays throughout the entire game. Actually, I don't think I've done enough to describe how awful this game is, I may have to create a websige solely dedicated to letting the internet know that this is the worst MSDOS FPS ever released upon an unsuspecting public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
