The TG16 is proof of how important marketing is. I was at a prime age to beg for this system when it came out but didn't even know it existed
It was too expensive.
my uncle had this system... I had a Master System, then an NES, than a Genesis, than an SNES but never a TurboGrafx-16... my cousins and I loved playing Bonk's Revenge at my Uncle's house when we were 8 years old
Tony hawk screwed up the commercials I guess rip
I wanted the shit outta this, but instead, inexplicably, the too expensive thing, melted when dad talked to somepne about 3D0, lol, we know which is considered best today!
All the "Radio Shacks" in Canada (a different company than real Radio Shack) had the TurboGrafx-16 on display at the front of the store running Bonk's Adventure. So I wanted one... but I wanted more games for my SNES or a Genesis more.
No Joe and Dave, thank YOU for making Game Sack!
I'm still waiting for the day that we get a Game Sack Episode of Parralax Scrolling...
Gamesack makes thee best video game related videos hands down. Joe's editing plus both of their obvious love and knowledge for video games since the beginning is top notch each episode. Thanks for putting so much quality work into keeping Gamesack going while also working full time jobs and having families. You guys are great.
I love the ending. Dave's face always kills me when he does the "Huh?! WHAAA??" thing. The only thing missing is the baseball hat worn to the side and the folded arms when he walks in the room to see Joe. *Bring that back Dave!!! Wear your hat and fold your arms!!!*
"Oh! Hi, Dave!"
I wait every episode to hear Joe say it.
"That's exactly right"
Dave's deadpan "Now this is more like it!" is my fave part of those skit, along with the aforementioned "Oh! Hi, Dave!" from Joe!
Oh hai Dave. Anyway, how's your sex life?
2:02 -- "Alright, I'm not done yet." Joe cracking up cracks me up every time.
I didn't think you'd make another dedicated TurboGrafx-16 episode after so long but it sure is a welcome episode!
I found out about this show because of the Turbo, and now it's all come full circle, great episode!
Hey it's bitchirin! The person that made a lunatic reply to me even when i wasn't trying to be annoying.
@@mrmadmight266 What did he say?
@@Tony_Cardoza Uhh,i'll answer that if you tell me if this person is biologically a he or a she cause i'm confused about that.
The "acting" at the end is always the cherry on top! Keep up the great vids guys.
I expect to see part 3 in another 6 years.
But we are missing Dave :C
He's in our hearts
@@z3r0x456 what happened to Dave?
@@rimple1158 He left the show because wanted to spend more time with his family. Family time was hard to come by for him due to the demands of his day job and show.
3 years down, 3 to go!
This is my 4th time watching this episode! I've recently picked up a TurboGrafx-16 and a Turbo Everdrive. Thank you so much!!
Where can I get an everdrive for any console?
Holy shit, baby Jessica. Wow that brings back memories. I think my grandma almost missed Golden Girls and Dallas watching the live coverage of her rescue.
This is one of the best TH-cam channels period - you guys deliver top-notch content that's both informative and entertaining. Kudos.
Yup. They deserve a million subscribers.
they deserve closer to 10 million, that's how i see it.
Correct.
Boring yawn. Too scripted
You missed the major standout of Galaga '90 over the other Galaga games. If you double-ship was captured, and you got it back, you got the new TRIPLE-SHIP!!! (there was also a cheat-code to start with a triple-ship)
The triple ship was as wide as the double-ship, and shot 3 bullets much closer together, making it much harder to miss what you were aiming at.
Oh man, Impress Your Friends are my favorite end skits. That was a great twist on the classic style.
Been watching for years and will be here as long as y'all are. Keep up the good work and thanks for the great video guys.
Man you guys have gotten fantastic at the stop motion portions of these videos, I love it! :D
I guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Davis Lyric Instablaster :)
@@raphaeljack8976 Shut up bots.
Wow the colors in this episode were insane on my 4k Sony Bravia! In fact, that would be an awesome episode idea, "Colorful Games"
The PC Engine has quite a pleasing colour pallete to work with. Results in a lot of good colour use on the the system's games.
Past midnight here, been awake for like 35 hours.. ready to just literally pass out.. then a 42 minute Game Sack video. Simultaneously, damn you and god bless you, Joe & Dave.
I'm not a weeb, and even if I was, that's pretty irrelevant. Sounds like you are salty bruh. :^)
The music from the first half of the ending sketch wont stop playing in my head. It must be my ringtone for everything
Game Sack keeps somehow getting even better with each new episode. Always entertaining and informative.
I love my PC Engine, such a huge library of games. I've got a little over 200 games for it which is just the tip of the ice berg. Spriggan, Mr. Heli, KiKi KaiKai, Monster Lair, Download 1&2, Dracula X, Snatcher, Ys 1-4, Valis 1-4, Far East of Eden, all of the Kunio-kun games, Gate and Lords of Thunder, I could go on just about forever.
It’s finally announced by Konami in E3. TG-16 Mini, Here I came!
I came
@@Ralph_Sandwich weird
@@Ralph_Sandwich ✊✊💦💦😰
That outro tore my sides!!!! Great job as always, guys!
I knew you guys would do a Part 2 at some point. You've evolved so much since the first episode. Congrats on all of your success, I'll always be a fan.
Here's an idea for an episode that you haven't done: Games with companion animals (Donkey Kong Country, Metal Gear Solid 5, Golden Axe, The Last Guardian, classic Mega Man+Rush, Fable 2, Fallout) or AI partners (ICO, Resident Evil 4+5+6, Sonic 2, and Kingdom Hearts). I'm sure that you guys could make that episode one that is funny and interesting. A skit at the end with you trying to unsuccessfuly get your dog or cat to listen to absurd commands that it doesn't listen to would be a perfect touch.
I'm glad I can depend on you guys for a great video every couple of weeks. Any chance of you guys doing another Controversial games episode? I love the first one and think it's high time for another. Thanks again guys!
You guys should have way more subscribers! Have been watching and sharing for years. Love your videos.
I do hope that with the TurboGrafx-16 mini on the horizon, a part 3 will get created soon :). In any case: Thank you for the edutainment.
I love this channel!! Too few today knows how awesome early games were and still are..
1:59 in the morning, time to hit the sack...
TH-cam: "Game Sack uploaded: The TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine - Review - Part 2 - Game Sack"
...after watching some Sack, of course.
sonicdoesfrontflips hehe 3am here, every two weeks I know I'm sleeping late on sunday
sonicdoesfrontflips 2:30am here, dammit Joe!!!! Hahahahahah
They need to use that as a slogan one day!
I like to pound my sack before I go to sleep
sonicdoesfrontflips
I am trying to buy Taito legends 2 disc does it hv that water bomb guy game?
I loved the art style of T-16 games back in the day and now. It was like an in-between of an NES and a Super NES. Games were always colorful a lot of them were very underrated.
Dave, I gotta tell ya, I think this might be your most well spoken commentary yet. I really appreciate the improvements you are making with your choice of words and how you deliver them. It's much more professional (And yet still fun and humerous!), and it no longer sounds like you're giving a book report in school. I really mean that as a positive critique. It's been awesome watching you and Joe get better over the years, and I thought it was worth pointing out. Thanks for another great episode, hope all is well!
I wish you guys would do a full version of the "NEC Avenue" song.
Wtf???? I was missing on this channel for all these years 😭 i think it's time to watch every single episode from the start, i like the man named Joe he's funny as hell 😄, also the man named dave is calm and wise what an awesome chemistry you guys have, God bless you.
Dave White....wise? ......I mean he's not retarded, and he is cool
great episode as always guys! don't listen to the negativity you guys are doing a tremendous job bringing back nostalgia for people who can't experience these games anymore. I hope you guys do a Q&A episode. Would love to ask a few questions
These games have aged really well. TG16's expanded color scheme made the games look more vibrant than Genesis.
Great birthday gift. Thanks Joe and Dave
Happy BIrthday!
Game Sack Dave thank you
These games are so cute!! Why must you two make me fall in love with this console... I can't afford it!
Game Sack is the quintessential classic games channel.
Dave when you told Joe you weren't done yet in the beginning, and seeing Joe's reaction, I laughed a lot harder than I probably should've. Another great video guys! Keep up the great work, you guys are hilarious!
Also LOVED the Earnest Evans "Exasperated Gamer" throwback!
Maan,so sad to hear that Dave is leaving, but im sure he will come back sooner or later and Joe's gonna keep the quality content.
Flamencoxderecho he’s not coming back
I wish these would come out faster, but every single one is such high quality that I understand.
Game Sack, I just want you guys to know I can't get enough of your channel! All of the videos are awesome! Great work!!
I find it funny that you guys make this video. I've been on a PC Engine fix and have been watching all videos I could find. I even rewatched your older PC Engine related videos. Great work you guys.
Nice Shovel Knight T-Shirt there, Dave!
Episode 3 baby!!!
Yes let's do this!!!
You guys make it worth the wait for new episodes. Very informative. Top 5 retro site on TH-cam for sure!! Id love to see another Saturn one. Seemed like a lot was missed with that one.
Excellent, beautifully shot and edited. This is my favourite episode for the last six years.
I swear I've watched these PC Engine videos about 15 times over the last couple years. Game Sack video are very re-watchable. When there is no new content on TH-cam, I just throw on a Game Sack video and let autoplay do the rest.
It's been years since part 1! Glad to see you guys still love the turbo! :D
That NEC Avenue song parody is wonderful
That sudden NEC Avenue intermission cracked me up! :D Awesome!!
3:23 - Nice tube effect :)
yup
As far as other games you should talk about in future episodes, Kaze Kiri, Nexzr, and legend of Hero Tonma!
Love you show, I didn't own a console now days but I grew up in the 90 and ownen NES SNES 3do Sony Playstation.
I still love this kind of thing .
I always bop my head to the high hat in the intro its off beat and on beat at the same time
Id think this episode quality wise is a 10. Well done. Like the foley sound on the stop motion.
You guys are the best.
There's an enthusiastic part of me that would like to give each of you a firm handshake, look you straight in the eye and exclaim, "BRAVO YOU SONFABITCH!"
But the more practical side of me wins this time... I'll be slightly in the shadows, lounging near the hor d'oeuvres, slowly nodding my everlasting appreciation at your hard work and passion.
Nursing my wounds from GunBoat, I'll reach out for my TurboPad and pray for *unlimited storage* in a world of Sacks and Grafx.
Love you guys, I've been watching since the early days and your channel is still my favourite.
Thank you for a wonderful episode! I LOVE the turbo grafx!
Did ya'll ever get Big Mick's "secret part" into your hands?
Yeah but it wasn't what we were expecting!!
Dave leaving the Sack is crushing my soul ;(
You need to get out more.
@@johnalbertson79 I pee spaghetti
This is the most consistent upload schedule ever. First channel I set to NOT send me notifications as it became my routine to watch on Saturdays LOL
I never knew anyone who had the TurboGrafx 16 growing up, so it seems like I've missed out on a lot of great games. Thanks Game Sack! You've convinced me to pull the trigger and buy one now!
I can't help but think of Turbo Views over on the Spida1a channel while I am watching this episode. I really like that guy's channel. He's funny and entertaining, and he definitely deserves more views and subscribers than he has. Hopefully this episode will lead some Game Sack fans into finding his channel, because he has videos on practically every TG16 game there is.
Oh, absolutely. Spida1a produces excellent videos, consistently. He actually plays the games to completion on an actual console (no cheating). TurboViews NEEDS more love :)
I'm glad you mentioned Spida1a as he's seriously one of my favorite reviewers, and it's a shame because of past health issues, and overall life in general he can't upload more often then he does. Also to note his personal Pinball collection is very impressive as well.
Spida1a is very well known to TG16/PCE fans.So it's no problem for his channel to get attention that it deserve.
I bought my TG16 at Toys R Us when it was 79.99 around maybe 1991 or 1992.
1995Supra Black that's a steal. I still have mine from kmart with the $49.99 price sticker on the box still.
Me, too. They were clearing out, and the system had Keith Courage and Power Golf packed in. That was right around the time that I was realizing girls aren't actually gross, so those were the only games I owned until I pulled the system back out as an adult. Now I have a fairly respectable collection, and I love it every bit as much as my SNES and Genesis.
ShmupShmupPewPew so many quality shooters
You still got it?
41:19 -- You guys have honed your performance of 'the amazed face' to a razor-sharp edge. This is a particularly outstanding rendition.
What a great system that I sadly missed out on when I was younger. Playing catch up has been hard but a hell of a lot of fun.
Thank you Gamesack. For every video. Every time. You both are great content creators.
Nintendo is like Disney Mickey Mouse cartoons, Sega is like WB Looney Toons, and TG16 is like USA Cartoon Express. All aboard!!
i am definitely not a fan boy for any console, so i dont really compare, i just wish that TG16/CD had fared better here in the states, not a fan of being unable to comprehend a story because of language barriers...
Been waiting for this episode for a while. I actually just recently watched the first one too. You guys have actually put me on the hunt for the console.
Don't listen to the haters, guys. There's more actual fans of your show then haters anyways.
Game Sack right after My Life in Gaming? My birthday is complete.
Timothy Vreeland Happy Birthday brada!
Tiger Road? Look's More Like Krillin From Dragon Ball
Guys I enjoy the show. I'd also like to say that the effort you put into shooting cut aways of the machines etc is appreciated. I know it takes just the bit of extra time but good stuff gents. Good colors and audio on the show too
You guys are like, Christmas every other Sunday morning. Thank you.
Here in Brazil is 3:00 AM, and i get this notification shit, now i need to watch because i love you guy's
I love this system, it totally deserves an episode remake. I'm lucky enough to own a Duo R and Super Grafx. Both have been manhandled by Lord Voultar for RGB goodness, plus I've been busy collecting diverse editions of the 2-button controllers, a multi-tap, controller extensions, arcade cards and ROM-carts. For controllers I'm missing a couple of 6-button ones. I do have 2 Hori Multi Arcade sticks which are still kicking major ass on a regular basis though. Also, I'm pretty sure I have a problem. Send help.
These guys are awesome. This is the only channel I'll watch where the videos are longer than 15 minutes. @Game Sack, you guys rock.
Thanks for making this episode jam packed with content guys.
Ahh nothing like a new Gamesack episode to cool me down. =) I still want a PC Engine!
Amber Short Marry me
Gatorade Maeby?
Don't you mean heat you up?🔥😏
Follow your dreams, and you shall have one! 8^D That's only if your dreams imply a salary of some sort though.
Who else has a routine when you see game sack uploaded? I can't watch right away got to get back to house set everything up. Always worth it evertime.
YESS!
Looks like I got my Sack titillation tonight. Thanks.
Great video. I really appreciate all the work a video like this takes. Its so hard to collect for the system, get a peek at the library is really enjoyable.
Gouls and Ghosts IS the best game in the series.
Here, here I concur. Super Ghouls n' Ghosts on the Snes...was good but lacked that special something that the Genesis game has.
Of course Joe like Ghouls 'n' Ghosts the most, because Ghouls 'n' Ghosts is the best game in that series. Obviously.
Off work in less than 3 hours. Get to go home and make breakfast for the wife and kids and watch gamesack together. You guys put out great content. Fun for the whole family!
Just awesome guys. Can't wait for episode 3! Keep up the great work!
So what you're saying is - if you like horizontal shooters, vertical shooters, isometric shooters, rail shooters, 3/4 perspective shooters, and shooters you didn't even know existed - THIS IS THE SYSTEM FOR YOUUUUU!
I thought the system had mostly empty space? Adam Koralik you liar!
Blake Ivory I thought the same thing when I re watched an old episode about game moding
You guys really outdid yourselves with the production values of this one.
Please make a full version of that "NEC Avenue" song...
The world will surely be a happier place with it.
You guys are outstanding, rivaling the AVGN in quality.
ProtoMario lol that's an insult to the almighty sack! These guys are way better than that asssssss avgn
i like both, why must there be insults toward either channel?
The Gaming Paladin Because everything has to be a pissing match on TH-cam.
>AVGN
>quality
Pick one.
Bredoublendan Thanks for proving my point.
Ghouls and Ghosts is better than Super Ghouls & Ghosts? Dem be fighting words Joe. How dare your opinion differ from mine?
Super Ghouls has too much slowdown and generally moves slower. It has gorgeous graphics and music, however.
Real1Gaming I agree with Joe. Ghouls and Ghosts is better.
same, Ghouls N Ghosts is better than SG&G, i've played both and the one i go back to is Ghouls N Ghosts, in this case Genesis Does What NintenDON'T...
I think the PSP Ghosts and Goblins is the best one, actually.
The Gaming Paladin ...and in many many other cases also.
Dave is never right, and I'm always here for the hardware overview, wishing it went on longer. C'est la vie.
Love and enjoy the work you guys put into your videos. Always a fan..keep up the good work.
Finally, you two middle age bastards did something right. An TG-16 video is alright. You have indeed out did yourselves. Much respect from your community for it.
Why do Turbografx games have the shittiest coverarts of all consoles? (Yes, even shittier than Master System games)
One of the reasons my 10-11 year old self passed up on some really amazing games. I would look at the covers and be like "nope, not this one." A shame how horribly marketed and managed the TG-16 was outside of Japan. The PC-Engine covers look so much better.

I dnt think that mastersystem was bad.... it was abstract. As a child i actually enjoyed sms art.
The U.P.L. style is so recognizable, both in music and graphics. Love it!
