This was a fun episode.

Many of the games I already have. Well the good ones.

But some I have yet to get such as the two outrun games on the OG Xbox (didn't one of them have the original arcade Verson of outrun included as an unlockable?)

Those two Sonic games generations and colors as they are the only ones since sonic adventures I have heard are worth owning

The two sonic racing games (I would see but avoid BECAUSE it has Sonic in the title honestly.

And lastly that tennis game.

As for other pre Dreamcast sega games? Honestly anything they had come out for the Xbox like Shinmu II and such.

Wasn't that Binary Domain game also a Sega game?

No Yakuza? Play it if you haven't already Joe, it's seriously worth it.

Look at all the stuff you can do

Medic_wheat · 02/15/2015, 11:17 AM

Stupid Sega. Can't even make a good monkey ball game anymore.

dingsbums · 02/15/2015, 02:32 PM

One game I truly missed in that video was Gun Valkyrie.

We mentioned this. We feel the name would be better if it were Sega All-Stars Racing and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed.

House of the Dead and Out run looked amazing. I must get those ASAP!

I have the Wii verson of over kill. Might get the PS3 verson. But I don't have the eye or wand or anything else to go with it. Hmm

Gentlegamer · 02/15/2015, 10:14 PM

That must have been the most expensive episode of Game Sack ever, with the destruction of the ultra rare NOT FOR RESALE Sonic the Hedgehog.

seieienbu · 02/16/2015, 02:02 AM

Panzer Dragoon Orta was the reason I bought an old Xbox and is still my favorite game of that generation of consoles. It looked good, played well, had an interesting storyline, the soundtrack was magnificent, and was loaded with extras.

...now that I think about it, didn't you guys cover that game in a previous video? Hmm...

Word. It's the best thing Sega has done since quitting the hardware biz, IMO.

No PS2 Macross?!

Just kidding. I'm going to rewatch your Outrun episode for more Information on the Xbox games.

PS3 Macross is just as good if not better.

ClodBusted · 02/23/2015, 01:45 AM

Is it? I haven't played it, so I can't judge. But I had a lot of fun with the PS2 game and its missions based on the original 1982 TV series and 1984 movie storyline. I don't have interest in any other later series of the Macross franchise, especially not for Frontier.

I didn't read reviews for the game that was sold along with the DYRL Blu-ray as a bonus. Plus, I don't own a PS3. Could you please go into deeper detail about the PS3 Macross game(s)?

Its basically a Macross RPG which Macross fans have asked for years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross_30:_Voices_across_the_Galaxy
An awesome game, too bad it isn't in English..

ClodBusted · 02/23/2015, 10:47 AM

Oh well, thanks. I think I'll take a look at some videos later on. But seeing the blue-haired beauty Minmay being horribly ugly drawn on the cover and hearing of RPG elements doesn't set my expectations on fire, you know. It's no SEGA game, unlike Macross on PS2.

New Game Sack, Sunsoft

Does Joe typically ninja episodes up in the middle of the night?

Ahh sunsoft was great on the nes/famicom,then afterwards it went all down hill.Though the last games i really enjoyed by them is albert odyssey and waku waku 7.

No!

This is how we do things:

Medic_wheat · 03/01/2015, 08:14 AM

Great episode as always. Sun soft has many great games and a very distinct high quality spirt look that remained CONSISTANT throughtoit their run when developed in-house.

Those Neo Geo MVS honestly makes me feel that Capcom lifted the color pallet and look of the mega Man Zero games from Sunsoft. Looking at that female fighter in their Neo Geo game really makes me think of how Zero looked in those GBA games. Hmmmm

As for some of those other NES games I will keep an eye out. But personally for me my favorite is Gremlins 2. Loved the movie a kid and loved the game as well. One of the few games my parents were ever able to buy for me when I originally had my NES and one of the few games I refused to give away when my mother made me give the NES and games to a family friend prior to them getting me a SNES. My mother thought I was being selfish and weird for holding onto NES games when my system was being given away but I had such a connection to them I couldn't part. Those being Megaman 2, Gremlins 2, Battale Toads and TMNT 2.

Even with my copy of Battle Toads no longer working I still hold onto it purely because it reminds me of my parents. I even shared this story with my mom just the other day while she is visiting. She said she had no idea I still had them or that I appreciated them so much even now that I am in my 30s about to have my first child.

CAPSLOCK · 03/01/2015, 09:21 AM

Man I always look forward to a new game sack! "when you defeat each stages assistant manager" haha that made me laugh!

Sunsoft was very good with music on the NES/Famicom, could be my favorite, that or Capcom.

DeshDildo · 03/01/2015, 10:50 AM

YES! I love these developer episodes and Sunsoft is one of my personal favorites. Awesome episode. Shame on Joe for not being able to finish Journey to Silius. That is one of my personal favorite games on the NES. It is hard to compare it to Contra though. You can't just run and blast your way through Silius like you can in Contra. You must take your time and think of the best ways to attack without getting hit.

NightWolve · 03/01/2015, 02:54 PM

Yeah, I liked this SunSoft episode. Blaster Master was a great game.

poponon · 03/01/2015, 03:10 PM

Sunsoft episode was awesome. Making me consider getting back into nes

EvilEvoIX · 03/01/2015, 05:58 PM

My God the little skit at the end with all those Super Rare + Expensive carts and CD's. Neo Turf Masters AES is like a $3,000-$4,000 Game.

Just went back and re-watched that part. I'm liking the coincidental placement of all those games.

EvilEvoIX · 03/01/2015, 07:24 PM

Seriously that's thousands of dollars in games right there, that is no mistake. It's borderline pornography as far as I am concerned.

Did that. And then bought a used Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast for PC.

....after three days of playing I've come to my personal conclusion:
What a fucking great game this is! Still looks gorgeous despite being almost a decade old and runs blazing fast on my laptop. Oh, and the music... So many catchy tunes. I have a special thing for the Magical Sound Shower Euro Remix, but even the original 1986 songs are very fitting.

Joe, I remember you mentioned the somewhat twitchy controls of SP/2006, and I agree. I have no trouble drifting, but as soon as drifting ends on some straights or trying to switch lanes without drifting, the Ferrari tends to be a bit nervous. I guess I can live with that.

Many thanks for your OutRun video! And it's too bad that After Burner Climax isn't available anymore. I could give myself a severe kicking for not having purchased it a few months before it was taken down.

Game Sack Cat by xcrement5x, on Flickr

I had gotten this awesome Game Sack bag from Joe Redifer awhile ago and have been using it to store some of my extra Saturn controllers. My cat seems to have taken a liking to the texture or something though and was snuggling it last night and trying to knock it over to lay on top of. Figured I would snap a picture at least.

ClodBusted · 03/09/2015, 12:38 PM

Lol, I figure you would probably recognize all the contents of that box.

Joe Redifer · 03/09/2015, 02:33 PM

Glad the bag is getting some use! We designed it specially to be tasty to cats.

Cat Sack!

A game where you toss your cat around in said sack. He wants to play.

ClodBusted · 03/09/2015, 06:01 PM

/lesson start

In Germany, there's a saying "Die Katze im Sack kaufen" (translates to: to buy the cat in the sack), which means something like "to buy a pig in a poke".

That's all well and good, but I don't understand the idiom "to buy a pig in a poke."

ClodBusted · 03/10/2015, 02:45 AM

It's like buying a videogame that you just judge by it's fancy packaging, when it could turn out being a bad game inside instead.

TR0N · 03/15/2015, 03:21 AM

Games with Female Protagonists - Game Sack

Medic_wheat · 03/15/2015, 08:47 AM

But but Femenist Frequentcy told me there are no female protagonist who are not straw Femenist that only serve to propel the male power fantasy and story.

I am so confused.

INTERNET SAVE ME!

EvilEvoIX · 03/15/2015, 12:22 PM

Another great video. Super Metroid is by far the best on this list. What a game!

ClodBusted · 03/15/2015, 06:35 PM

You finally convinced me to play the Monster World Collection on the Xbox 369. MW IV is so lovely.

Mzo · 03/15/2015, 06:59 PM

I never want to hear about Super Metroid from anyone else ever again. It's like listening to a song from Nirvana's Nevermind. I know it's good, but I can't anymore.

That aside, great video.

I hear you.

But there are a lot of younger folks who have yet to play Super Metroid, so it is a nice gesture to encourage them to play the game.

But, in general, it is nice when folks go beyond the "Top __" games for any given system.

I think Game Sack does a good job of not reducing the libraries to popularity contests...although it is hard to avoid it.

poponon · 03/15/2015, 07:39 PM

Amazing episode, I really liked the tongue in cheek towards the recent "gamergate" or whatever you want to call it.

HOW CUD U FORGET LEILA FROM ROLLING THUNDER 2 THO!! WTFFFFF

Joe Redifer · 03/15/2015, 07:47 PM

We were going for games were the female is the lead. You can elect to not play as the chick in Rolling Thunder 2.

El Viento is way better than the Valis games (if you're only going to cover one Telenet game/series), but you've covered it before.
