Indubitably.

I have no idea what that means as even Google can't translate it. I can only guess that you brokenly said "get a special guest"???

turboswimbz · 09/29/2012, 04:53 PM

I would say something more along the lines of it's a good special.

I had the exact same reaction to Neo Turf Masters. I actually got a conversion as part of a Neo home system package I got last year as a freebie, and I just popped it in at random to see what it was like. I really didn't like golf at all.

Holy fucking shit, I've probably played it more than any single Neo game since then. I've played it so much that when my wife and I are playing putt putt, if I make a good shot she goes "ON THE GWEEEEN!!!"

Neo Turf Masters is one Neo Geo game I should buy. Anyone have a AES copy?

I felt exactly like you did about Super Monaco, Joe. I really loved the arcade version and although the Genesis port disappointed it is still a classic in my book. It's a real pity that SEGA hasn't issued the arcade version on a compilation.

I hope you're not serious about getting ntm on the aes,i could of sworn ive seen it reaching $800.00+

Cheapest option for getting that game is on mvs or ngcd.By the way "neo turf master" is worth it and you don't have to be a fan of golf to enjoy the game either.

$800?!?! Nevermind. A CMVS or converter is something I have put off for a long time due to price. I'll get an MVS version once I luck out and score one or the other.

esteban · 10/13/2012, 01:59 PM

UPDATE FOR JOE: I've been slowly watching older episodes (I've missed so many) and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Game Sack.

. The episdoes look fantastic on my mega-sized HD screen--thank you for the excellent video quality.

Joe Redifer · 10/13/2012, 05:35 PM

I'm glad to hear not everyone is watching them in the default 360p.

It's one of the few things that she doesn't tell me to turn off (she thinks Top Gear is lame, for example. She's probably right. I don't even know why I bother with Top Gear.)

Just watched Game Sack 058 - 16-Bit FMV Madness!

Love the video work and the end sketch :-) Dam I never knew that there were so many FMV games and I worked at a computer/games store in the 90s!

Looking forward to the other episodes, great production. Keep up the good work.

Bernie · 10/15/2012, 07:50 PM

Yeah, they do a great job IMO. I like how they actually make it entertaining, lame jokes and all. Kinda makes the show for me. I think Dave could take Joe though.....

Joe Redifer · 10/15/2012, 08:04 PM

He has broader shoulders but I'm quicker and more aggressive!

Ji-L87 · 10/16/2012, 08:54 AM

Just curious, have you guys spent a lot of money in creating the show, or did you already have a camera and most other necessary equipment? Production values feels solid!

Joe Redifer · 10/16/2012, 05:51 PM

We had a lot of the stuff since I'm a video editor by trade. But we (myself and Jen) built a studio for the show in the basement and bought lights, acoustical treatment and other stuff like that. Also another camera and a bunch of high-end lenses.

Yeah, I don't remember that sticking out either. Then again, the game was so unique that I wouldn't have noticed.

Oh god yes, Ope. Stay away from owning DD and play it once a year somewhere to remind you how bad the slow down is.

Quote from: TR0N on 12/02/2012, 03:49 AMGame Sack-Games That Defy Genre

Good as always!

Other genre defying:
Panic (SegaCD) - It's just a hot mess
Odama (GC) - Pinball tactical sim?
Seaman (DC) - Okay, so it's sort of like pikachu

I did think of Cabal/Blood Brothers/Nam '75/Gamshara style of games, but they would be more defining "behind that back, target shooter" type games rather than defying.

Joe Redifer · 12/05/2012, 12:07 PM

I've tried to include Seaman in a few different episodes but have never gotten the eggs to hatch. It's too much godddamn work.

turboswimbz · 12/16/2012, 11:42 AM

I'm sure some people will knock me for this, But My favorite arcade game of all time is Daytona USA (*edit:* and 2)! Nothing better than throwing a ton of money into a machine, sitting on the sticky seat and showing up everyone playing. Even Had a chance to buy a machine a while back but had no where to put it. Man I hope they get these back in the arcades after they clean up from Sandy.

spenoza · 12/16/2012, 05:30 PM

I love Daytona USA, especially with a friend or two, but I have to say that I like SCUD Race and Daytona 2 just as much, if not more, if only because of the improved visuals. Visuals aren't everything, though, because as much as I like Sega Rally 2, I hate the latest Sega Rally in the arcades.

GohanX · 12/16/2012, 11:14 PM

Re: Not being able to hear the voice in Daytona USA HD

The crew chief's voice plays out of the rear speakers on a 5.1 setup. Sounds okay on my setup, although I have the rear speakers turned up a little.

I only have limited experience with the Daytona USA arcade version,
but I do quite like the Saturn version. Even if it's jerky and wonky looking

I DO have some problems winning races and drifting tho', anyone got some techniques to share?

Tatsujin · 12/17/2012, 07:14 AM

I only have experience with the Arcade Daytona USA. munched me away as much as coins as I would have payed for an original sit-down double cab at homey, back during the few years when it was in our local arcade.
we playewd it literally every day. its was the biggest (s)hit sega probably ever hitted into the arcades! very big cinema!

when the SS version came out, I had nothing left for it than a lil' lol ->

Sorry to double post but I wanted to share that Daytonaaaaaaaaa video. I went from thinking that the song was sung by a creepy American dude to loving its Japanese cheese. I am going to pick up both Saturn versions now just because of it.

I have already watched it twice.
