A video game adaptation of Silver Surfer. It would have been a pretty kickass game if not for the fact that it's one of the hardest games on the NES, for all the wrong reasons.
Generally, it is frowned upon to say that a game is bad because it's "too difficult." After all, just because it's hard, doesn't mean it's bad.
But with Silver Surfer (NES), it does. If you've ever watched the AVGN's review of it, all I can tell you is...HE'S NOT EXAGGERATING.

What you pretend-irritably toss back at present company when he "foreign languages you" with a casual request for or an acknowledgment of your assistance. (Obviously this would not be da case wif Gomez Addams, though, since he actually ENJOYS when Morticia speaks French, and so he would never feel irritable or resentful if she uttered thus to him.)
