We will! Console episodes take a lot of time and energy but we love doing them and the audience seems to like them so yes we will definitely due more single console-dedicated shows.
Donkey Kong '94 is a really overlooked gem, it starts as a remake of the original Donkey Kong on the gameboy, but after beating the original arcade levels, an bunch of new levels open, and the style is different from the arcade Donkey Kong. It works with Super Gameboy so there is color, and i feel like a lot of people ignore it because when they start playing it, they assume it is just a remake not knowing there is a completely new game in a different style after beating the first levels.
Kirby's Block Ball was my first ever Gameboy game I owned when my parents bought my OG Gameboy back in the day. I haven't talked to anyone else who has played it, definitely a great game from my childhood.
you guys are awesome! you make me realise how many great games i missed in my childhood. it is like taking a trip back into the good old times and then realise that these times were even better than you imagined!
By far the best retro videogame show on youtube, thanks so much for all the heart and creativity that you guys put in every video !!!! Greetings from South America, Chile !!!!
I really feel that one of the most overlooked game series is Onimusha. It's one of the best game series Capcom have created. I feel it's really worth mentioning.
I completely agree. Onimusha 1 was the first game that got me hooked after a long time of not feeling gaming that much anymore. This series should be continued.
I wish there was one more generation of 2D games before the 3D generations took over! Imagine how awesome the 2D games might have been! Sega Genesis and SNES we're great but imagine a 32 bit generation of nothing but amazing platformers!!!! Then 3D could've taken over afterwards!!
Well there are many great 2d games on the PS1 and the Saturn got great looking 2d games as well. However with the SS these games are in a high-price range these days.
I always thought return of the king was the better game, I remember me and my buddy staying up all night to beat that game co-op when it first came out, it was tons of fun.
The subtle zoom and crop with the Kirby's Block Ball segment is just one example of why I love Game Sack. You guys deliver grade-A production value with a definite attention to detail. The work shows, and as a viewer of many retro YT channels, is definitely appreciated - looking forward to the next episode!
It's only a step in my non-stop goal to replicate the cartridge insert of an old US SMS commercial from long ago. That commercial has influenced most of my game-insert sequences.
Didn't move, was born here, but had the pleasure of living in CO briefly back in '97/98. My dad moved there temporarily for work, family went too. We lived in a place called Oasis Deerwood, in Highlands Ranch I think. Loved the weekend road trips up the Rockies or visiting SilverPlume, Golden, Boulder... I don't even like Guinness! Nice hat though :) By the way, Game Sack is not only my favourite TH-cam show, but one of my favourite shows period. Appreciate all the work you and Joe put into it.
I've seen this episode probably ten times and I just now noticed Jen is on the couch during the sketch at the end.... so I guess you could say she's a bit of a "Hidden Jen" :|
Damn dude Beyond Shadowgate looked absolutely amazing visually and pretty funny too, Honestly never even knew about it til just now. Granada, never heard of before but seemed like a neat ass shoot em up adventure kinda game, definitely digging it. Wish that they kept Black Belt based around Fist of the North Star though since that series is pretty amazing, the newer game on PS3/360/Wii U is cool as hell too if you ever get the chance to check em out Tomba deserves more love from Sony, it rocks
Beyond Shadowgate looks so goddamn good. Why couldn't this be released for a more mainstream console like the Genesis/SegaCD or SNES. Heck. A Saturn/PSX "remake" would've been awesome :(
that death by boredom in beyond shadow gate is possibly one of the best deaths in video game history. thanks for showing me that one guys. yet again another great vid
We're good. Thanks for asking. I work in Boulder and there is tons of damage. There are streets where there is water still seeping out of manholes. People are still pumping water out of their basements. Crazy stuff.
International Track & Field is one of the most competitive and fun games in the PS1. A few lucky people whom actually sat and enjoyed countless game sessions with family or friends are the ones that praise this game whenever it is mentioned. It is really rare for a sports game to gain such status.
talking about overlooked things this channel deserves more views its easily my favourite youtube channel you guys are awesome its just a shame i have to wait another 2 weeks for the next episode lol keep up the great work gamesack
It's from Legend of Heroes Dragon Slayer 2 or some oddly-named game like that on the PC Engine CD. No clue if the track even has a name or not as I took it straight from the game disc.
Since revenge of shinobi is still my favorite game of all time, I have tried to get into shinobi on Saturn so many times. It just never hooks me. Granada and elemental master... awesome games. Another great video ... thanks guys!
As i can remember the most complex thing is in some stages were we dont need to win the battle, its run or stay alive for some turns, so you will love this game
I agree Joe, Elemental Master is an overlooked gem. So much, it didn't even have a Wikipedia page until I made it a few years ago. Maybe some of your words in this video can be added to the reception section of it. Dave, if you put your index finger's and thumb's nails together and wriggle them on a PlayStation button, you can get amazing turbo speed if you get the flow. But it only works on one button at a time of course.
The music in a Lord of The Rings game means a LOT. I noticed because I'm playing LotR War in the North right now and it has none of the tracks from the movie, which is a huge bummer.
great show as always guys. loved the stinger at the end too. what sold me on it was jen on the couch being all chill. hope you guys get to doing another underrated games episode or maybe one that talks about the gaia trilogy[soul blazer, illusion of gaia and terranigma(of which that's overlooked a lot because of it never being released in america)]!
Who says adults don't know how to have fun? You two on that pad with Jen behind you looking like she was shouting encouragement is awesome. Like in that great Cindi Lauper song, which I just butchered: I wake up in the morning light My wifey yells, "When you gonna live your life right?" Oh wifey dear we're not the fortunate ones And gamers, they wanna have fun Oh gamers just want to have fun The game roars in the middle of the night My daughter yells, "What you gonna do with your life?" Oh daughter dear, you know you're still number one But gamers, they wanna have fun Oh gamers just want to have That's all they really want Some fun When the working day is done Oh gamers, they wanna have fun Oh gamers just wanna have fun (gamers, they wanna, wanna have fun, gamers wanna have) Some gamesters take a wonderful game And hide away from the rest of the world I want to be the one to play in the dungeon Oh gamers, they wanna have fun Oh gamers just wanna have That's all… Thank you to Cyndi Luaper and Game Sack for the inspiration.
Black Belt kinda reminds me of My Hero for the Master System. I loved that game, even though you only really need to spam the flying kick most of the time.
Can't agree with quackshot only having a few good songs, the snow stage, viking stage, final level, final boss music, minecart music, boss music, some of it was ok but most of it was good.
A friend of mine had Quack Shot which I remember fondly and another firend had World of Illlusion. I never played Castle of Illusion but I played the hell out of World of Illusion. I took issue when Dave said World of Illusion was easy in a previous episode, it took us many attempts to finish, but we were like 7 years old so yeah, that might have been why.
So many things to say, but I'll focus on just one: Rapid-fire button presses on home console controllers. Maybe I am wrong, but I always found it best "wiggle" the remote and your hands while pressing with your thumb(s). You end up pressing with your thumb(s) as fast as you would with your finger(s), but every time you shift your hand to raise your thumb up... your fingers on back of the controller push it up into your thumb for an extra press. Plus you don't have to sit on the floor.
Shinobi X is probably my favourite game that I've played of the series. I actually find the aesthetics (graphics) quite appealing and the emphasis on the katana along with smoother controls appeals to me. By the way the end sequence was amusing.
I remember in our T & F tournaments, everyone had a different style for that button bashing. Mine was rest the controller on my chest and slide my thumbnail rapidly over the power buttons!
I'm definitely going to have to check out Elemental Masters, it seems like such a cool "concept" of sorts! I remember getting frustrated by the demo of Tomba! that I got with my PlayStation, maybe I was too dumb and didn't realize the multi-dimension thingy

Do the due
The end of this video really need some Survivor's Eye of The Tiger music in it. Great episode guys. That Two Towers beat em up is really fun
hi metal jesus from the past
Donkey Kong '94 is a really overlooked gem, it starts as a remake of the original Donkey Kong on the gameboy, but after beating the original arcade levels, an bunch of new levels open, and the style is different from the arcade Donkey Kong.

You guys have the best production value of any gaming channel around. Keep up the good work!
Kirby's Block Ball was my first ever Gameboy game I owned when my parents bought my OG Gameboy back in the day. I haven't talked to anyone else who has played it, definitely a great game from my childhood.
Quackshot rules! That, castle & world of illusion are some of my favorite non Shining Sega Genesis games.
you guys are awesome! you make me realise how many great games i missed in my childhood. it is like taking a trip back into the good old times and then realise that these times were even better than you imagined!
So glad to see you guys included The two towers. Love that game and it went highly unappreciated.
Quackshot is one of my favorite games ever, I still play it 20 years after I first got it.
By far the best retro videogame show on youtube, thanks so much for all the heart and creativity that you guys put in every video !!!! Greetings from South America, Chile !!!!
i think that you two are the most elaborate retro show out there!
I just realized that Quackshot is basically Donald Duck Metroid. Maybe that's why I love it so much.
you guys are amazing, i simply cannot state enough how perfect of a channel this is. always so informative and timely! thanks guys!
I really feel that one of the most overlooked game series is Onimusha. It's one of the best game series Capcom have created. I feel it's really worth mentioning.
That's the game series that I never got around to playing.
i only ever played the 3rd one but i loved it
I completely agree. Onimusha 1 was the first game that got me hooked after a long time of not feeling gaming that much anymore. This series should be continued.
that's probably the best one
nohomers100 The first is the best but the third comes a close second.
I wish there was one more generation of 2D games before the 3D generations took over! Imagine how awesome the 2D games might have been! Sega Genesis and SNES we're great but imagine a 32 bit generation of nothing but amazing platformers!!!! Then 3D could've taken over afterwards!!
Well there are many great 2d games on the PS1 and the Saturn got great looking 2d games as well. However with the SS these games are in a high-price range these days.
"Did somebody say overlooked gems?"
These dudes got the SACK to back it up! 🤣😂💯🇺🇸🔥
I always thought return of the king was the better game, I remember me and my buddy staying up all night to beat that game co-op when it first came out, it was tons of fun.
that is how every power pad session went when i was a kid
The subtle zoom and crop with the Kirby's Block Ball segment is just one example of why I love Game Sack. You guys deliver grade-A production value with a definite attention to detail.
The work shows, and as a viewer of many retro YT channels, is definitely appreciated - looking forward to the next episode!
Two Towers is such an UNDERATED game! Thanks for mentioning it.
Quack Shot is one of my favourite Mega Drive games, a must play for anyone who loves platformers.
i was hoping you guys could cover games on MSX systems..
Penguin Adventure was a childhood favourite.. also was ported to the Sega Master system..
I only found this show yesterday, and already I love it.
I have played Metal Stoker. It's cool and weird. Maybe a bit repetitive? I'll have to try again as maybe I'm thinking of something else.
Throughout my day I just say random numbers followed with a
A MEGA POWER
You should. Even jumping with the UP button feels natural. Probably because you don't have to do it often. And thanks for the kind comments!
It's only a step in my non-stop goal to replicate the cartridge insert of an old US SMS commercial from long ago. That commercial has influenced most of my game-insert sequences.
Beyond Shadowgate is going for $900! holy cow. good luck finding that one at a decent price!
It is? Wow. Glad I got mine a few years ago from a friend for a much better price.
Game Sack I care about old black and white games. aand i like kirby and im not to young im 13 and stop making me cringe. plz. thx.
+Vinescringus Blueshroom
Oh, then I can see why you use the word "cringe".
I love Gamesack so much, it's inanely entertaining. I just get frustrated because I always want MORE ! Keep up the good work guys, I love it.
There is a copy of the Two Towers that has been sitting at the shelf at the local thrift shop for months now. Thanks to you. I will make it mine.
I never realized until now the intro was biohazard battle thank you
Loved the end with you guys playing the power pad game, I would like to see you guys playing other games together!
Quack shot is one of my favorite Genesis games. I hope it’s on the Genesis mini.
No more than, say, Mercs reminds us of Elemental Master.
Didn't move, was born here, but had the pleasure of living in CO briefly back in '97/98. My dad moved there temporarily for work, family went too. We lived in a place called Oasis Deerwood, in Highlands Ranch I think. Loved the weekend road trips up the Rockies or visiting SilverPlume, Golden, Boulder... I don't even like Guinness!

And you're welcome to that opinion just as long as you understand that it's OK if others don't feel the same.
Over looked gems Star Gladiator for the Playstation and Plasma Sword for the Dreamcast also Tech Romancer was another hidden gem...
Because it's fun AND challenging. It's probably not for everyone but it sure clicks with me.
I've seen this episode probably ten times and I just now noticed Jen is on the couch during the sketch at the end.... so I guess you could say she's a bit of a "Hidden Jen" :|
You guys are great. I never miss an episode. Keep up the great work.
Watching this show has cost me so much money. Every time I watch an episode my collection increases.
Damn dude Beyond Shadowgate looked absolutely amazing visually and pretty funny too, Honestly never even knew about it til just now.
Granada, never heard of before but seemed like a neat ass shoot em up adventure kinda game, definitely digging it.
Wish that they kept Black Belt based around Fist of the North Star though since that series is pretty amazing, the newer game on PS3/360/Wii U is cool as hell too if you ever get the chance to check em out
Tomba deserves more love from Sony, it rocks
man you sure do love your shooters don't you joe. Thumbs up on the two towers and tomba dave
i still have my disc of tomba and hearing that it is now a cult classic makes me feel lucky to have bought it when i did
I remember playing Tombi(Tomba in US) demo over and over :)
Beyond Shadowgate looks so goddamn good. Why couldn't this be released for a more mainstream console like the Genesis/SegaCD or SNES. Heck. A Saturn/PSX "remake" would've been awesome :(
OH man I love those games. Especially Decathlete.
ah, that music at the start of playing tomba...good memories
that death by boredom in beyond shadow gate is possibly one of the best deaths in video game history. thanks for showing me that one guys. yet again another great vid
We explained why it's fun. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video, you got a legit laugh out of me when Dave's hand caught on fire.
Lmao, poor Dave, that was a legit chop to the trap I bet that hurt a bit. Love you Joe, ya big meanie.
We're good. Thanks for asking. I work in Boulder and there is tons of damage. There are streets where there is water still seeping out of manholes. People are still pumping water out of their basements. Crazy stuff.
That's a sweet-ass basement in the ending skit. Those paintings are nice and I'm jealous of what looks like a skee-ball game?
International Track & Field is one of the most competitive and fun games in the PS1. A few lucky people whom actually sat and enjoyed countless game sessions with family or friends are the ones that praise this game whenever it is mentioned. It is really rare for a sports game to gain such status.
And here's good 'ol Black Belt and the Donald game with the plungers. So nostalgic :-).
Thanks for noticing!
talking about overlooked things this channel deserves more views its easily my favourite youtube channel you guys are awesome its just a shame i have to wait another 2 weeks for the next episode lol keep up the great work gamesack
I had this Black Belt for the SMS, played it like hell when I was a Kid.
this show is a youtube gem in overwhelmed world of retro gaming channels
It's from Legend of Heroes Dragon Slayer 2 or some oddly-named game like that on the PC Engine CD. No clue if the track even has a name or not as I took it straight from the game disc.
One Genesis Game i never hear anyone talk about is "Gadget Twins" great music, great graphics, effects and gameplay.
Since revenge of shinobi is still my favorite game of all time, I have tried to get into shinobi on Saturn so many times. It just never hooks me. Granada and elemental master... awesome games. Another great video ... thanks guys!
A LOT. And not ashamed to admit it. Music from new games can be great, too!
One of my favorite games of all time great fun and a heck of a challenge. PS yet another great episode thanks guys.
I love Quackshot. It was my favorite Genesis game as a kid...so many great game mechanics.
As i can remember the most complex thing is in some stages were we dont need to win the battle, its run or stay alive for some turns, so you will love this game
Once again, another video from you guys I didn't want to end.
Tomba! is one of my favorite games of all time, sucks that it is so damn expensive now. I'd love to have a copy.
I agree Joe, Elemental Master is an overlooked gem. So much, it didn't even have a Wikipedia page until I made it a few years ago. Maybe some of your words in this video can be added to the reception section of it.
Dave, if you put your index finger's and thumb's nails together and wriggle them on a PlayStation button, you can get amazing turbo speed if you get the flow. But it only works on one button at a time of course.
omg black belt! one of the earliest games i remember playing as a kid.
The music in a Lord of The Rings game means a LOT. I noticed because I'm playing LotR War in the North right now and it has none of the tracks from the movie, which is a huge bummer.
Absolutely, it is amoung the best block games i've played.
That ending. Power Pad games tend to do this with people, as well as Wii motion games.
great show as always guys. loved the stinger at the end too. what sold me on it was jen on the couch being all chill.
hope you guys get to doing another underrated games episode or maybe one that talks about the gaia trilogy[soul blazer, illusion of gaia and terranigma(of which that's overlooked a lot because of it never being released in america)]!
Excite Truck. I know you already talked about it but I love it too much.
Who says adults don't know how to have fun? You two on that pad with Jen behind you looking like she was shouting encouragement is awesome. Like in that great Cindi Lauper song, which I just butchered:
I wake up in the morning light
My wifey yells, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh wifey dear we're not the fortunate ones
And gamers, they wanna have fun
Oh gamers just want to have fun
The game roars in the middle of the night
My daughter yells, "What you gonna do with your life?"
Oh daughter dear, you know you're still number one
But gamers, they wanna have fun
Oh gamers just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh gamers, they wanna have fun
Oh gamers just wanna have fun (gamers, they wanna, wanna have fun, gamers wanna have)
Some gamesters take a wonderful game
And hide away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to play in the dungeon
Oh gamers, they wanna have fun
Oh gamers just wanna have
That's all…
Thank you to Cyndi Luaper and Game Sack for the inspiration.
Two of the best and highly overlooked games on the Sega Saturn are "Winter Heat" & "DecAthlete". Highly addicting and immensely fun!!
The amount of times I’ve laughed from Joe and Daves antics has been many. Many times. I miss the old sacks.
14:29 definitely one of my best game with great gameplay and super awesome soundtrack!
the world need a Game Sack panel so bad... any convention any where :D
Black Belt kinda reminds me of My Hero for the Master System. I loved that game, even though you only really need to spam the flying kick most of the time.
Tonba 2 is even great.
sweet sunday gamesack action, athlete kings on the saturn is another multiplayer all night classic! track and feild is worth talking about.
Can't agree with quackshot only having a few good songs, the snow stage, viking stage, final level, final boss music, minecart music, boss music, some of it was ok but most of it was good.
Tombi and International Track and Field, the memories.
A friend of mine had Quack Shot which I remember fondly and another firend had World of Illlusion. I never played Castle of Illusion but I played the hell out of World of Illusion. I took issue when Dave said World of Illusion was easy in a previous episode, it took us many attempts to finish, but we were like 7 years old so yeah, that might have been why.
I too loved playing LOTR: The Two Towers on the Gamecube. I don't recall it ever getting a lot of love.
So many things to say, but I'll focus on just one:
Rapid-fire button presses on home console controllers. Maybe I am wrong, but I always found it best "wiggle" the remote and your hands while pressing with your thumb(s). You end up pressing with your thumb(s) as fast as you would with your finger(s), but every time you shift your hand to raise your thumb up... your fingers on back of the controller push it up into your thumb for an extra press.
Plus you don't have to sit on the floor.
The Shadow gate one looks really fun :D Also those Shinobi cutscenes XD Makes me wanna go out and get it!
9:05 LOVED that game, but never could get past that same very part. Always got mauled by the uruks.
Shinobi X is probably my favourite game that I've played of the series. I actually find the aesthetics (graphics) quite appealing and the emphasis on the katana along with smoother controls appeals to me. By the way the end sequence was amusing.
I remember in our T & F tournaments, everyone had a different style for that button bashing. Mine was rest the controller on my chest and slide my thumbnail rapidly over the power buttons!

Great episode! The Shining Force 2 music popping up made my day tho since that's currently what I'm playing.
I bought Granada from my local, the imports always intrigue me and i got them to pull up a youtube video. Bought it instantly, such a great game.
I love Game Sack, wish it the best in the future too. - Northeastmonk
The music in the intro is from Bio Hazard battle. Another overlooked gem.
That's an interesting style. I guess events like the 100 meter dash and swimming that would work well since there is only 2 buttons to worry about.
