Scud Race, hopefully the one you hinted about at the end. My fav Sega arcade racer. A localish arcade has it and my closest arcade has Daytona 2. Why they never released them back in the day I don't know. If they did a Daytona/scud/sega rally arcade bundle for xbox/ps now I would be all over it!
I still can’t believe Daytona USA 2 never got a port on consoles. It seemed like it would have been perfect for a Xbox Live Arcade/PSN release. I suppose it’s never too late to bring to modern consoles, but, I won’t hold my breath on that.
When I released Supermodel in 2011, someone at Sega of Europe got in touch with me to explore doing some Model 3 ports on XBox 360. They sent an NDA and then ghosted me. It was super weird. I think the big problem with these games now is the licensing expense.
@@trzy Hey Bart! I never knew that you'd been contacted by Sega about this, that's really interesting. How bizarre that they just ghosted you afterwards. So bizarre that Sega decided to just totally ignore Daytona USA 2 the whole time they had the license for the first game - it only just got de-listed from XBLA and PSN fairly recently (Can't recall if it was late last year or early this year).
i love how the camera in these arcades racing games is strategically positioned so it always give you an excelent sightline to all the awesome scenery that surrounds the track. 3/5 of the screen is dedicated just for that, with the actual racing taking place on the bottom 2/5.
You forgot to mention Daytona USA 2 having two versions. One is Battle On The Edge which is the the Japanese version in this video. The other is Power Edition, International Version that changes the Beginner track to Nascar speedway and they also added an extra 4th track. Nevertheless, a big shame Sega never even want to port this masterpiece to home console
Been watching your show for many years now. I don't understand how you don't have much closer to 1 million subscribers. Best retro video game channel on youtube!
Just wanted to let you guys know some of these games have had Dreamcast conversions made by the community. They work on emulators and real hardware alike. Most of them are Atomiswave games, but some NAOMI ones exist. Some examples include King of Fighters XI and Dolphin Blue, with lots more to come. I can't link them here but it's a search away, and I definitely think they should be covered in a future episode.
Quality episode! Good selection of games and the pronunciation of Hachoo! was on point. Ending skit looks like one of those silly Japanese commercials western actors did in the 80's and 90's, that surely wouldn't come back to haunt them as the world internationalized with some information superhighway, or somethin'.
A couple I hadn't heard of in this one! The enemies scaling into the screen was pretty neat in Hachooo Loved the filter & effects you pulled off for the ending segment of this one also!
Finally! A couple games I've actually played in an arcade! Daytona & Star Wars Trilogy. It's been over 20 years, but I remember really liking the lightsaber stages when I played it.
I highly recommend Emergency Call Ambulance for the Sega Model 3. It is only 4 stages long but it will take you awhile to get good enough to make it through all 4 stages. If you end up featuring it and play it for the episode I recommend picking the manual transmission. The last stage seems almost impossible to do with an automatic. I played it with an Xbox controller and set the left and right shoulder buttons to shift down and shift up. Pro tip! You can gain extra speed by switching back and forth between lower and higher gear. I'm interested in hearing your opinion on it since it is my top Model 3 game.
Waverunner in the arcade was amazing. Still remember sitting on the jet ski which made it very immersive. I definitely liked this arcade game better than wave race 64!
Alright Joe, I'm gonna need that shirt...oh wait I've still got my Crazy Taxi Dreamcast preorder shirt from back in the day...& it's still sealed in the circle container
Star Wars Trilogy was my JAM at my local Golf N Stuff back in the day. Sometimes, i didn't play anything else when I went. I was really happy to play it again via emulation
The Ring in Toy Fighter does have gameplay benefits. You probably missed it at 7:15 but you jan hop onto the ring to perform unique aerial maneuvers. You can also hit it to send a shockwave that can push the opponent towards you.
I remember playing the original Waverunner at Chuck E Cheese, along with Sega Super GT, Brave Firefighters and Star Wars Trilogy. Those were the days ❤
This channel continues to make me say "OMG I remember that game!!!!!". Thanks again Joe! Btw: The wampa room in Star Wars was a call back to a cut scene from the movie.
Hippodrome was at the liquor store my mom would sometimes go to when i was really young. I never got to play it but alwayd remembered what it looked like
I played Star Wars Trilogy Arcade a lot back in the day and loved it. The original arcade cabinet had a really long analog joysick that made the whole game feel quite satisfying. And it's difficult to explain well but it was easy to get used to the inverted vertical control for the light saber bonus stages because the joystick would put your wrists at a similar angle to the way you'd hold a light saber in real life. Playing the game with little thumbsticks on a joypad, or with a mouse, would make it feel very different. It might be OK with the biggest flight stick you can find.
The FIRST Star Wars arcade game was a cursor moving game with wireframe graphics. The game you're referring to was the SECOND, less popular, Star Wars arcade. Trilogy was designed to trigger the memberberries from the first game.
I *LOVED* that Star Wars Arcade game. I used to play it every time we went to the movies. The light saber parts were pretty fun with the joystick the arcade came with. I think it was more of a remake of the very first Star Wars Arcade rather than the 1993 one. I never played that one tho, looked cool.
Star Wars Trilogy Arcade is one of my favourite arcades of all time, I ended up in a high-score battle on one cabinet in the early 00s with Tom Scott. Inversion was weird, iirc the operator could choose inverted or not separately for flight, shooting, and maybe saber separately. Of course this meant if you walked up to a random cab it might well be backwards from what you expect. The scout troopers could be killed quicker by shooting them rather than their bikes, however that's a smaller target and if you shot them after they fell off you'd go more dark side, which meant you took more damage and got less shield restored between rounds, you can see this happen as Joe shoots Ewoks. One other thing that makes this look harder is that the original cabinet has a huge joystick with massive throw, allowing you to be quite precise.
Let’s go!! Another Sunday morning,another GameSack episode. My suggestion for the next left in the Arcade episode: Spike out. Mario kart arcade GP 1&2 F-ZERO AX and the monster ride version. Gunmen Wars. Time Crisis 5 Time Crisis:Crisis Zone. Dead heat Ace Driver Alpine racer Alpine racer 2
The top-down, twin-stick tank shmup... I want to say it was called "Assault"... it had great controls and smooth gamplay. I can't say I have ever seen much like it.
Great video as always 😊 If I may suggest something for the 10th video in that series: could you show us briefly what were the controllers for these games, or maybe just an image of the cabinet? That would give us a good idea on how these games were played 😉
Hippodrome was called fighting fantasy also. Loved this and mastered it go for small axe and life gain you can do a death blow like golden axe which is devastating
Solar Assault looks like a game that would have been one of those Laserdisc games they sold for the Pioneer Laseractive alongside games like Pyramid Patrol.
The Wampas might just be a reference to Shadows of the Empire. There's rather famously a room if you're thorough in the Hoth level of all versions of the game with two Wampas that take for-freakin'-ever to kill.
Star Wars Trilogy Arcade is low key the best Star Wars game out there. It’s an excellent score based rollercoaster that takes you through all the original trilogy. The multiplier scoring is brilliant, even the lightsaber fights are great. Unfortunately though it’s tricky to find a cab in the wild that works properly nowadays and it just doesn’t feel the same in emulation.
Your channel is my favorite. I love these neat arcade games. I hope they make a comeback in the future. I would like to play a motorbike arcade game on an actual motorbike.
@GameSack there one thing missing in Daytona USA 2 there is a like a Grand Prix race where you race all 3 tracks into starting from the longest track to the oval in one full run.
Wing war I was lucky enough to have 2 sit downs in my local arcade. My friend and I would spend a ton of money dog fighting each other. It was one of the most funnest vs I ever had.
A couple games that come to mind that I don't think ever got console versions were Mega Zone - a kinda generic vertical shooter, Taito's Superman or Capcom's Willow.
9:50 And I think it looks like Amidar, the 1981 classic arcade game by Konami which also had some life on the Atari 2600. Heck, Amidar even has you control a monkey in some stages!
Wing War was especially noteable as one of only two games (G-LOC was the first) that ran on the R360 motion sim cabinet. I don't know if any arcades ever had enough money and space to do it but in theory you could link two of them together for multiplayer. But that would have taken a LOT of space and most arcades didn't have enough room for even one of those giant and rare machines let alone two.
What are some games that were left in the arcade you'd like to see covered?
Asian Dynamite
Riding Fight
The BattleTech combat pods.
Scud Race, hopefully the one you hinted about at the end. My fav Sega arcade racer. A localish arcade has it and my closest arcade has Daytona 2. Why they never released them back in the day I don't know. If they did a Daytona/scud/sega rally arcade bundle for xbox/ps now I would be all over it!

Kudos to Joe for following the comedy rule of threes for his Hachou joke.
I love these left in the arcade episodes. Always something I haven't heard of.

The fact that Daytona USA 2 and Scud Race have never, and of this writing STILL, have not been ported outside the arcades is a crying shame.
@@DatBeastard You technically can play Daytona 2 / Scud Race tracks in Outrun 2 on original Xbox, but that's the only way so far.
@@trzy Sounds like typical Sega Right Hand not agreeing with the Left Hand stuff, lmao
It is worth noting that Wing War is one of only two games that were ever playable in Sega's mighty R360 cabinet. It was one hell of a ride.

It's not Sunday without Game Sack. Thanks always, Joe! You make Sundays worth living through!
One of the best TH-cam shows. You ok my guy?
Try church (not being sarcastic or condescending).
I feel the same thing! My Sunday is more bearable, thanks to game sack😅
@@joncoyne6049 Dandy, and agreed!
@@sollanorabelobraga7592 It's just always something to look forward to and Game Sack shows are never a let down.
I love this channel such fun energy
Oh my, loved playing DANCING EYES at my local arcade, it was really fun but also kinda pervy too 😆the final stage with the BIG HEAD man is hilarious
Just got home from work and a new Game Sack episode drops... What a treat!
I remember playing Wave Runner many times at a Boardwalk arcade. It was really fun but expensive at a $1 per play.
Been watching your show for many years now. I don't understand how you don't have much closer to 1 million subscribers. Best retro video game channel on youtube!
That sneezing gag for Hachou! is one of your best so far. 😂

Oh man I remember Wing War, loved playing that for the short time it was in my local arcade.
I came across wing war maybe twice in real life. I gave it a go but being about 10, I had a lot to learn about fighter combat. So realistic it hurts!
Good to see Toy Fighter getting a mention, it's a fun fighter
Indeed it is. Though I never played it, Watching gameplay of it is super wacky and fun
Daytona 2 , such a great game, I listen to the soundtrack pretty often while cooking, wokring on arts , and even working out. SlingShot is so good.
I really enjoyed the Star Wars Arcade Trilogy back in the day. A local movie theater had one and I would play it almost every time.
Thanks for continuing to bless us with fantastic content.
Finally! A couple games I've actually played in an arcade! Daytona & Star Wars Trilogy. It's been over 20 years, but I remember really liking the lightsaber stages when I played it.
I find something really pure about games that have flat-shaded polygons. I like that look.
I highly recommend Emergency Call Ambulance for the Sega Model 3. It is only 4 stages long but it will take you awhile to get good enough to make it through all 4 stages.

"Head down to your local arcade and play..." That one hurt Joe, that one hurt 😥
Dancing Eyes is one of my favorite games to play on MAME. Thank you for showing this title here!
Waverunner in the arcade was amazing. Still remember sitting on the jet ski which made it very immersive. I definitely liked this arcade game better than wave race 64!
Alright Joe, I'm gonna need that shirt...oh wait I've still got my Crazy Taxi Dreamcast preorder shirt from back in the day...& it's still sealed in the circle container
Awesome episode, I've never seen Wing War before and that's right up my street. Awesome Skit too Joe, that one was hilarious! :D
Star Wars Trilogy was my JAM at my local Golf N Stuff back in the day. Sometimes, i didn't play anything else when I went. I was really happy to play it again via emulation
those throwing animations are awesome
One of my favorite end sketches. Great episode Joe.
Police trainer was one of my favorites in my early teens
The Ring in Toy Fighter does have gameplay benefits. You probably missed it at 7:15 but you jan hop onto the ring to perform unique aerial maneuvers. You can also hit it to send a shockwave that can push the opponent towards you.
Keep the summer of sack going!
Sunday morning here in brazil and nothing beats having breakfast and watching game sack new video
I remember playing the original Waverunner at Chuck E Cheese, along with Sega Super GT, Brave Firefighters and Star Wars Trilogy. Those were the days ❤
This channel continues to make me say "OMG I remember that game!!!!!". Thanks again Joe!
Btw: The wampa room in Star Wars was a call back to a cut scene from the movie.
Sega racing games just hit different man, nobody else did it better.
The Sack Is Back Jack Thanks Joe For All You Do
I can't believe no one has said "Bless You" for sneezing
The Hachoo segment is so good
Hippodrome was at the liquor store my mom would sometimes go to when i was really young. I never got to play it but alwayd remembered what it looked like
I wake up and I see new game sack episode is up. Life is good! Love all your videos!
Thank you for the timestamps/chapters!
Two of my favorites Elemental Gearbolt and One on this list. One also gets honorable mention as the hardest game to find on a Google search.
Another Sunday, another Game Shack episode. John uploads like clockwork.

It blows my mind how many Dreamcast games Sega left on the table.
The skid ad at the end looks legit .lol great job 👍

No mention of Daytona USA 2 Power Edition?
Also congrats Joe on getting Model 3 emulation running. What a time to be alive.
WingWar was aaaawesooome!
If you want something like WaveRace on the Dreamcast, there is always Surf Rocket Racers.
@22:42 Quite possibly the first ever "fatality" in a fighting game

Another Sunday morning,another GameSack episode.
My suggestion for the next left in the Arcade episode:
Spike out.
Mario kart arcade GP 1&2
F-ZERO AX and the monster ride version.
Gunmen Wars.
Time Crisis 5
Time Crisis:Crisis Zone.
Dead heat
Ace Driver
Alpine racer
Alpine racer 2
"So, did you get lucky last night?"
"Negative. It didn't go in."
Got hit by a category 3 tornado Thursday and just got power back, watching gamesack!
The top-down, twin-stick tank shmup... I want to say it was called "Assault"... it had great controls and smooth gamplay. I can't say I have ever seen much like it.
Assault was the name. Fun game, and I was fascinated with rotation and scaling back in the day, and Assault had that in spades.
The end song always nostalgic for some reason
Another day, another Sega cabinet I never knew about.
Ahhhhhh Game Sack, my favorite ASMR. I needed a good nap.
Great video as always 😊 If I may suggest something for the 10th video in that series: could you show us briefly what were the controllers for these games, or maybe just an image of the cabinet? That would give us a good idea on how these games were played 😉
Hippodrome was called fighting fantasy also. Loved this and mastered it go for small axe and life gain you can do a death blow like golden axe which is devastating
Waverunner flickered in the arcade as well. You can see this in videos of people playing the arcade version.
I love that I have these in my machines and my retroid pocket plus
5:41 Nice to hear Michael Jackson has left his mark in the sound track in this one
New Game Sack?! "Come on boy"
Solar Assault looks like a game that would have been one of those Laserdisc games they sold for the Pioneer Laseractive alongside games like Pyramid Patrol.
Outrun 2 had some cool bonus stages based on Daytona 2 and Scud Race courses.
AquaJack attack reminds me of Night Striker. What's interesting about AquaJack is the main baddie is the same one from The Ninja Warriors.
3:51 & 4:14 Bless you.
I have already seen Dancing Eyes, Hippodrome or Fighting Fantasy, i haven't seen the other ones but i'll try watching them.
The Wampas might just be a reference to Shadows of the Empire. There's rather famously a room if you're thorough in the Hoth level of all versions of the game with two Wampas that take for-freakin'-ever to kill.

@23:00 Arkadia in Fayetteville AR has Star Wars Trilogy and it’s a lot of fun! The cockpit controls and surround sound go a long way
I think it's safe to put Joe ahead of Elway on the list of Denver's favorite sons list at this point.
I've never seen most of these. Gonna hafta find an arcade.
9:30 Oh cut the dude some slack, that WAS a pretty cool shot.
Weird how the first Wave runner looks so much better despite coming out 5 years earlier. Goes to show how important art style is
I'm sad that we never got Wing War for the 32x.
@GameSack there one thing missing in Daytona USA 2 there is a like a Grand Prix race where you race all 3 tracks into starting from the longest track to the oval in one full run.
Wing war I was lucky enough to have 2 sit downs in my local arcade. My friend and I would spend a ton of money dog fighting each other. It was one of the most funnest vs I ever had.
Dancing Eye is basically 3D Gal Panic.
Daytona 2 looks so freakin fun! Man I'd love to play it on a real cab.
Finding the 4-player variant where all the cabinets are working is hard, but when you do it's so good!
No sleep. New Game Sack ep. Just dropped
As someone who has had to write copy for Star Wars products and went through the laborious review process... Stormtroopers are blaster sponges.
LOL, duly noted!
CarnEvil would be one that was left in the arcade if you haven't covered it and also Area 51. I'm pretty sure those didn't have home releases
Dancing eyes is off the hook, loves it since I got mame years ago
Hey Joe, I wish you would include the arcade setup for each arcade game, would be interesting, and could probably make an episode on just that.
I got left in the arcade once. My brother forgot about me for half an hour and took me for pizza he felt so bad after.
Sweet
