Excellent episode.

Two games I'd like to see covered in a future "remake" episode would be:

Nights Into Dreams vs Nights Into Dreams HD
Donkey Kong Country vs Donkey Kong Country Returns

Xak · 10/27/2013, 12:32 PM

I am playing Metroid Zero also but got stuck?? I suck. The Flashback game looks great. I did not like the Castlevania remake, half the charm is the beautifully drawn sprites and backgrounds

Is Donkey Kong Country Returns a remake? I only played it a short amount of time (hated the controls) so I wasn't sure if it was a remake or just a new edition to the franchise..

BlueBMW · 10/27/2013, 01:06 PM

Yeah I guess its not really a remake, but they reused a lot of the music so it felt like a remake to me.

And they actually covered it in their Donkey Kong / Valis episode:

Xak · 10/27/2013, 01:23 PM

Is BlueBMW David?

BlueBMW · 10/27/2013, 01:29 PM

Nope, the Game Sack guys are in Colorado, I'm in Tennessee. Though hopefully by summer I'll be out there too.

Xak · 10/27/2013, 05:31 PM

Is Dave on this forum or just the Sega16 one?

Joe Redifer · 10/27/2013, 05:40 PM

If he's here he only lurks. He loves to lurk.

Lurky Twerky like Miley Cyrus?

or Cyrus from ChronoTrig?

Flashback Review

Joe Redifer · 10/28/2013, 03:19 PM

It's weird. When I don't like a game that everyone else likes, they whine. When I like a game that gets bad reviews, people whine. My hypothesis: People's minds are usually already made up and it's usually what the rest of the hive mind thinks. And people DO NOT like it when you think differently than they do, it makes them uncomfortable.

EvilEvoIX · 10/28/2013, 04:45 PM

Flashback is my Favorite game on the Genesis, I may look at this Remake but I've heard it wasn't good?

Another classic Vid by Game Sack.

Mathius · 10/28/2013, 08:20 PM

I am glad someone other than me is complaining about the butt-stomp removal (sounds like a medical procedure) in Castle of Illusion.

Is the physical copy of Ducktails really supposed to come out in November? I bought my copy at Walmart last month. Maybe they put it out too early???

Speaking of Walmart, Joe, I would go to their chemicals department to see if they have any Dave White Traps. Seems you need to start setting traps and pitfalls in your game room to protect it from pests (read: Dave White).

Ben Moore or Joe Redifer? I guess I'll go with Joe's review.

Good or bad I prefer seeing it by myself in this case.

Just a example,most reviewers have given then game a low score such as GT giving it a 3.4.I guess it find odd,that joe likes the game unless i missed some thing.Then again critics are not all ways right.

November 12 is the release date. Do you have the game on disc? It's not something that just enables you to download it, is it? Pics please.

It's a PS3 disc case with a collectable pin. No game. Just a download code.

really good show this time.

Mathius · 10/29/2013, 04:15 PM

Not truly physical but still cool. Kinda wish I knew about the actual physical release before I bought this copy. But these seemed to come to our store in small quantities so I snagged it.

Probably to help Capcom gauge people's interest in a physical release.

Joe Redifer · 10/31/2013, 01:13 AM

I have my $20 for the REAL physical release! One guy commented on the video with something like "Physical release coming in November? It's been out for two months. Source: I work at the store that sells them". I guess he never noticed that the box said "Digital Copy Only" on the front. But hey, free pin. Yay? Hopefully your version didn't cost $20, Mathius.

Damn, we have to face the truth: the gratuitous use of colors has jaded our sensibilities.

In other news:

Psycho Punch · 11/11/2013, 10:13 AM

Genesis really does what NEC and Nintendon't: limit the on-screen color limit to 64.

Genesis does. And to think NES has 1/2 of the color limit (32 with 8 repeating colors), because of course 16/8bit = 64/32colors != 482/32colors, that's why Tuborgraphix isn't true 16 bit. DO THE MATH ! ! !

DragonmasterDan · 11/12/2013, 09:57 AM

Mathius · 11/26/2013, 08:41 PM

I've had a really shitty past couple of days. Car problems. Not sure if I am going to have a job at the end of the week. I threw on this ep of Game Sack and it really helped to cheer me up. Thanks, Joe and Dave.

I have made it nearly to the end of Legendary Axe but could never beat it. I have been trying for years. LA2 is good but my favorite part of the sequel is the music. I've said this before but it reminds me so much of Dungeon Explorer's music. And that isn't a bad thing.

Speaking of never beating a game. Pilotwings. Ugh. I love this game to death but I have been trying to beat the 2nd helicopter level for two decades! I didn't even know there was extra content beyond that.

Psycho Punch · 11/26/2013, 09:50 PM

Yeah that last "secret command" mission on Pilotwings is hard as hell! Not that the rest of the game was any easier...

The Game Center CX live challenge of pilotwings and all past episodes are great because they illustrate well how hard that game can be.

Mzo · 12/08/2013, 04:17 AM

That was a good episode, and I couldn't care any less about sports games than I already do.

No Mutant League, though? Or hockey?

And yeah, as soon as sports games got realistic I lost the little interest I had. Oh well.

Always a fun watch!

turboswimbz · 12/08/2013, 09:27 AM

You missed out on the hockey games:
NHL 94 - 96 with the genny version getting the slight edge over the Snes games. really fun games, not to serious, and they have fights.

Dave disappointed me, What was with the lack of love for the gameboy? I use to love baseball, and also soccer mania. I LOVE THE MUSIC in Soccer Mania. I mean just look at it below!! Play action football wasn't bad either at the time.

【GB】サッカーボーイ (Soccer Boy) ★ Soccer Mania ★ GAME BOY

I also really like extra innings for a baseball game.
1080 snowboarding and cool boarders were awesome too.

I've also enjoyed some of the Mario sport games. Mario Tennis, Mario Strikers, hell even Mario Super Sluggers.

But i am a wierdo who doesn't mind sports game.

Tatsujin · 12/08/2013, 10:32 AM

lol i watched that.

Xak · 12/08/2013, 11:09 AM

MUTANT LEAUGE!!! whats wrong with you Joe? How did you forget that!:??? GREAT EPISODE. I grew up with madden 93 and taught me the rules and penalties on football before i actually got to play in HS. My friend used to get PISSED when I would run a punt block on his run play LOL.

Segas NFL2K series is timeless and 2k5 IS STILL BETTER than the newest Madden which is sad. gameplay wise, animation wise, A.I. wise, and even STATISTICALLY ACCURATE to the current NFL. 1O years later!!!!

No captain tsubasa ? No Nekketsu Soccer?

And secretly Joe has devised a way to sell all those rare sports games he has amassed, through spin and positive online media advertising. Now he will have a one up on all the other Sega Genesis sports game lot sellers. I imagine soon we will see something along the lines of this (scroll image over to reveal seller id

Xak · 12/09/2013, 08:23 AM

NHL Faceoff 97 for ps1 is the funnest hockey game I ever played. I dont watch it or play the sport so I dont care for it. But hockey video games are fun.

I used to like TV Sports Hockey, enough to write a review on it
