but just got three more the other day

NightWolve · 04/02/2014, 05:17 AM

I have Einhander from Squaresoft and Elemental Gearbolt from Working Designs, do those count as shooters ? ;) Just two... Guess I mostly concentrated on RPGs with my Playstation. Wanted that Raiden project though also after seeing a friend play it at his house, but never ran into a chance to buy it.

Tatsujin · 04/02/2014, 07:02 AM

einhänder of course. EG is a light gun rail shooter

geise · 04/02/2014, 02:15 PM

Einhander is awesome. Square will never make a game like that again. I don't care what others say, I will always like Einhander. Also, Philosoma was the reason I bought a PSX when I saw the import version before sony launched in the states.

ToyMachine78 · 04/02/2014, 04:30 PM

I'm not sure which I liked better... The actual review, or the console porn skit at the end lol

BlueBMW · 04/03/2014, 09:21 PM

I loved Jet Moto and Cool Boarders 2 on ps1... Man we played the crap out of those games. Oh and the first Gran Turismo... That was always good.

Tatsujin · 04/04/2014, 01:50 AM

GT was boring as hell, unless you played it like 25hrs on "boring mode" until you get some better and faster tools..lol.

Mathius · 04/04/2014, 08:25 PM

Man I am way behind on my Game Sack. I lost my bookmark to this thread too. Starting with Top Ten 16-Bit Games and moving forward. Missed you guys! Just been too busy with MGC and the wedding.

I was really moved by your 100th episode flashback of the past couple years by the way.

Mathius · 04/04/2014, 08:54 PM

Laughed my ass off at the "special guest" in Super Castlevania IV!

Psycho Punch · 04/05/2014, 02:23 PM

BIO HAZARD was the game that made me stay with the PSX. My first game was Street Fighter Zero (yeah I saw the BIO commercial in it) and it is also my favorite Street Fighter game (even with SF2 with countless upgrades still being popular in arcades).
Another game that was pretty good was Tomba! 2. One of the best 3D platformers IMO. My copy was NTSC-J, so I really didn't understand what was going on, but I got surprisingly far (to the palace level). For those who are not familiar with the game, it is a 2.5D world where you can do various quests and secrets. Due to the nature of the game and the Japanese language I would get obsessed with it, I remember getting real sad when I lost my copy. But I really didn't knew that there was an US version of the game and I wasn't able to play it even though I had a chip to play imports. One day I will track it down and finish it.

Today I only play some of my favorite ones on PS3: Resident Evil 1~3, Dino Crisis 1~2, Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark, Parasite Eve 2 (I'm not much of a fan of RPG games so I didn't got interested in the first one), all from PSN, and Alien Trilogy (disc). Also I would like to revisit Die Hard Trilogy, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and others that I can't recall right now.

Tatsujin · 04/05/2014, 09:24 PM

Ore Tomba was made by Fujiwara Tokuro, the creator of makaimura, daimkakaimura, cho makaimura, demons blazon, commando etc. he also later was the general producer of bio hazard.
Ore Tomba was his first game under his own new founded company called whoopee camp, right after he left Capcom after over a decade of service. he also created pooyan, when he still worked for konami.

MrWunderful · 04/07/2014, 07:27 PM

Hey Joe, still a newb to this site so I didn't know you were a mod here.

Love the videos from you and Dave (i have watched all of them).

Keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to do all of the videos.

Joe Redifer · 04/08/2014, 03:52 PM

Thanks! "Mod" is stretching it, though. I don't do much. The forum generally polices itself. I occasionally approve new members. I've tried having other people become mods but no dice from the admin who does such things for some reason.

IrishNinja · 04/11/2014, 03:36 PM

the PSX one was great, now i wanna track down Ghost in the Shell. also with a friend breaking into YT video stuff & editing, i gotta say, Joe's experience really shines with the production quality of these (ever since quite early on), really well done overall.

Psycho Punch · 04/11/2014, 05:52 PM

You know what game I think it is underrated? Brahma Force/Beltlogger 9 by Jaleco. The devs (I don't recall the name now) really outdid themselves in this robot game considering their previous (shitty) mech games. I'm not saying that it is a classic/must buy but it is pretty fun for what it is.

this was one great ep. with lots of great obey (but also some nobey) inside

lol @ the pronunciations

BigusSchmuck · 04/13/2014, 12:46 PM

This episode makes you realize there were some really colorful PC Engine games that by all rights should have been released here. A nice episode never the less.

DragonmasterDan · 04/13/2014, 04:13 PM

Nice, I love Super tempo

geise · 04/13/2014, 05:18 PM

Joe, has Aaron ever mentioned to you what his thoughts were about Game Sack? I figured with him being a video/camera guy he would've given you some feedback. (not that you need it) Just curious. I have thuroughly enjoyed watching all your episodes.

HailingTheThings · 04/13/2014, 06:11 PM

.....why does Super Tempo have to be so expensive? Eff.

CrackTiger · 04/13/2014, 08:52 PM

There is an English walkthrough/guide which takes the guess work out of playing through Legend of Xanadu II.

There is a group buy attempt you can get in on going on right now.

You'd save $35 dollars with the needed cartridge shell. I'm still waiting to here from krik, see if he'll come down to $160 for it with 10+ buys though.

Great episode! Why no "Blue's Journey," though?

Dicer · 04/27/2014, 07:21 PM

Nice EP...

Joe Redifer · 04/27/2014, 09:55 PM

I did not have Blue's Journey on CD. Don't worry he'll feature in an episode really soon.

I should have bought that game on AES back when it wasn't $50+

ccovell · 04/28/2014, 05:44 AM

The NG-CD doesn't suck at all... that's how you could start Neo Geo homebrew if you were so inclined.

Also, good ep, Joe & Dave, though since I am quite indifferent about fighters (hence no loading qualms), I thought your ep could have used more shooters, etc. Especially since the NG versions have remixed/ remastered music, eg: Last Resort, Pulstar, Sonic Wings 2, etc.

Joe Redifer · 04/28/2014, 11:30 AM

Haven't tried the CD version of Last Resort. Did try Sonic Wings and was bored to tears. Sooo average.

DeshDildo · 04/28/2014, 01:08 PM

Joe, I'm new to this forum and it's so cool to see you are on here. My friends and I have a small youtube channel and can relate to the time that goes into making these episodes. Your guys' show is AWESOME! I love your channel and can't wait for further episodes. I can't tell you how many games I've played and systems I've looked for because of inspiration from your show. THANK YOU!

SmaMan · 04/28/2014, 02:45 PM

I've been on the fence about getting one. But Joe and Dave just pushed me over it. I'm getting one!

EvilEvoIX · 05/02/2014, 02:02 AM

Am I wrong in saying that the Neo Geo CDZ doesn't have a 2X CDROM drive but a larger amount of cache and just more efficient? I've had both top loaders and the CDZ is definitely faster but not twice as fast.

Here's a comparison of a CDZ's load times to that of a PS1 for KOF 99. On the PS1 it is noticeably faster especially the first round

No. You are correct.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Joe Redifer · 05/04/2014, 03:36 PM

Yeah hundreds of people have made that comment. I guess everyone in the world knows about the technical intricacies of the Neo Geo CD OR only Neo Geo fans are watching the video. Probably the latter.

BlueBMW · 05/04/2014, 03:37 PM

How could you make a mistake Joe!!! How could you!??! Haters gonna hate.

I'm actually surprised the Neo Geo fans haven't been laying it on thicker. You know how those folks are.

Honest mistake, just add a comment bubble and be done with it. Your videos are extremely high quality I doubt people could really complain.
