Game Dude (Alexander4488) is an infamous AVGN copycat from the early 2010s. One of the things that Game Dude is infamous for is deleting and "revising" his reviews. Because of that, some of the revisions have become lost, but previews can be seen on the WaybackMachine page for the channel. (WaybackMachine)

Some of the lost revisions include but not limited to:

Game Dude: Rocky & Bullwinkle Review

(only is 5 minutes and 46 seconds long compare to the archived uploads on YouTube)

Game Dude: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review

(only is 5 minutes and 2 seconds long compare to the archived uploads on YouTube)

Game Dude: Revised Crash of the Titans Review

(only is 5 minutes and 27 seconds long compare to the archived uploads on YouTube)

Re: You Know What's Bullsh*t?

(only is 53 seconds long compare to the archived uploads on YouTube and was renamed to "You Know What's Goose Poop? - Sports Games")

There are definitely more lost revisions but these are the ones I could find that, I can confirm, are different to the uploads on YouTube.

He flees the country when his court date is due! Are there just lost revisions or are there also lost episodes that weren't ever archived? Either way, this is an excellent search.

I'm pretty sure it's only the revisions themselves, but the revision can have some new/re-recorded content.

Here's a video comparison of the reviews and their revisions:

(It's a bit vulgar since its Game Dude we're talking about here)

It seems like "Donkey Kong Review Part 3" is either partially lost or at least doesn't have a video of its own archived.

It did exist since in one of the official Game Dude threads, it is listed as one of the episodes:

And on the Wayback Machine of Game Dude's channel it is there:

Along with other Donkey Kong parts (1 and 2), but when looking on YouTube, it seems like there is only parts 1 and 2 that are archived.

The thumbnail for part 3 is seems to be a still of one of the frames in archived part 2 uploads:

Which leaves me to believe that part 2 and 3 were separate until Game Dude decided to merge them into 1 video, deleting part 3.

Furthermore, there is an upload of part 2 that doesn't feature the scene with part 3's thumbnail:

Which means that part 3 did exist, but is not archived as its own and instead is in with part 2 of the Donkey Kong review.
