It's really funny how, when you take away the FMV games that became a staple of what the Sega CD was known for (AKA the thing everyone makes fun of it for)..the system had some top notch titles.
Disagree, and your stupid

It's really funny how , when you take away the FMV games that became a staple of what the Sega CD was known for ( AKA the thing everyone makes fun of it for ) .. the system is basically a Super Nintendo.
40 minutes of GameSack?! I'm gonna have to get an extra bag of popcorn for this one!
Sega CD was my first CD-based system, bought in 1993. It was a system I loved, but I was the only person I knew who had one. People just weren't ready to jump from cartridges to CDs just yet, but that was okay because it gave me a head start on what the 1990s video game scene was going to look like.
You are correct.That was also the case for Mega CD in 1991-1992.
Exactly
Me too
I just watched this again after numerous years and I was like I know I have a burnt CD-R for my Sega CD that says gamesack. Popped it in and I cannot believe you did both 4:3 and 16:9. I have an x'eye hooked up to a crtv and a model2 Genesis and Sega CD hooked up to a hdtv. Dude, the 16:9 on the hdtv worked really well. Bravo, bravo. You sir are master of your craft.
My buddy had a Sega CD and I really enjoyed the few games I played for it. The Lunar games and Sonic CD were great. Even some of the cheesy FMV games like Sewer Shark and Ground Zero Texas have a special nostalgic place in my heart. Good times.
I really liked the FMV games that were ports of arcade games, at that time that was more or less the only way you were going to play the real games on a console.
Even a couple of FMV games were good.
I just kind of stumbled onto you guys from watching too many reviews. There's a lot of channels like yours but you actually have a lot of polish to your videos. Wow. Plus you don't bullshit around with reviews, you get right to the talking points and introduce a lot of games. I think I found a new channel to binge.
Love the video! But an FYI for any interested parties: You actually do NOT need the backup cart to play scenarios 3&4 on Shining Force CD. When you use the system menu to look at save games, you'll see two files for Shining Force. One is 99 blocks, one is 1 block. The 99 block file is your save game for the scenario you're playing, and the 1 block file keeps information about which scenarios you have completed. As long as you ONLY delete the 99 block file, you can play all 4 scenarios with just the standard system storage. If you just delete your save game from within the game rather than the system menu, it will make sure the proper data is kept so you can play all 4 scenarios.
A 40 minute episode on the Sega CD..in 2014! I'm in heaven!! Thank you Game Sack!!!!
I've been collecting for the SEGA Mega CD since 2004. It is a vastly underrated system blamed as the beginning of the end for SEGA... It had so many gems and the definitive version of many 16 bit gen games like Earthworm jim, Mortal Kombat and Mickey Mania. Collecting for it today is a little too rich for my blood but no one here should miss out on classics like Sonic CD, Snatcher and Keio's Flying Squadron.
Agreed. Defiantly underrated system. So many people just write it off
well to be quite honest sega Saturn Was the blame since nobody couldn't make a Sonic game for the console some of them had to go to the hospital for the stress for making that game
That is sad but who can argue with that. Thats like nintendo not having a mario on there system. It sells and makes them profit. While i think the dreamcast was a great attempt, the saturn base that bought the system for a sonic game never really came back around. I really miss sega
Almost every person i know that owned a sega cd was happy with it. I was happy with it. Lots a great experiences on the system.
i would have been happy to if i had a sega cd too bad my parents couldn't afford it when i was a kid and yeah i do miss sega making home consoles SEGA DOES WHEN NINTENDON'T
Game Sack is literally one of the only channels that can make 20-minute+ long videos and find myself watching them in a single sitting!
This really is a great show. I enjoy listening to them. Its like talking to one of my friends!! Old school gaming for life!
I just played through snatcher. I really enjoyed. That game is definitely worth having a sega cd for
Love the Sega CD such an underrated gem!
Model 1 forever! I love the Sega CD so much, and Working Designs was a big reason for that but there are a ton gems on it. Amazing episode!
The only problem is the price!!! So far the cheapest one I could find was over $80 !!!!
@@EpicGamerWinXD69 $23 on eBay what I paid
nope, sega CD game sucks.
@@strategicfooyouagencyfirst8197 no
@@strategicfooyouagencyfirst8197 you’ve obviously never played Snatcher or Keio Flying Squadron
40 minutes of Game Sack! You guys are spoiling us...and we love it!
Suprised not to see Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Darkside. One of the best non SF/MK/KOF fighting games I've played. The extra fatalities were really good and if I remember correctly, it was the only game that doubled the available on screen colors of the system through a software trick.
Because the fatalities were pretty much the only interesting thing about the game. It certainly is not the best non Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, or King of Fighter fighting game. There are many more that blow away Eternal Champions Sega CD.
@@StarshipGhost Eternal champions: Challenge from the darkside also had a SHIT-TON of hidden unlockables and characters for a 90s game. It is indeed one of the best sega cd games of all time. And yes it did give streetfighter, king of fighters, and mortal kombat a run for their money. It was a 90s thing tho.
@@ricky-sanchez negative. Eternal champions is no where near Street fighter 2s level.
@@Fla5thgenTryMe It was still a good game is my point. Street fighter 2 and it's many rereleases were good, but if you played eternal champions cd, you knew that eternal champions was gonna be the next big thing. Until sega killed it. Street fighter 2 on the other hand, was multi platform and generational. So it couldn't be killed.
I totally agree it was one of the best! I played it much longer than most games. It had so many good characters, not just 1 or 2 that I found fun like other fighters.
I wonder if the nay sayers are judging it by the cartridge version? CD version was WAY better than the cart! Everything was improved, not just adding cool cinemas. I bought the cart used out of curiosity. It felt like an early build compared to the CD.
Thanks for these videos.... I know they are old now.. but, I love to see games that I missed and I want to play 7 of these games... awesome, thanks !
Sega CD is an amazing console/add-on. Unlike 32x, it's game library has some really great games, or at least good games with great soundtrack. Personally, I don't have any problem with fmv games, which I kindda like, so this console fulfill my needs.
Great episode and one of the best (or maybe even the best) review of the Sega CD that I've ever seen. Also if your introduction of the system would have been a commercial back in the days, it would have sold a lot more units. Keep up the great work and greetings from Austria! ;)
Hello Austria! Thank You for the kind words.

i'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the best episode you guys made. The amount of content, the production levels and the overall text is great. Congratulations on bringing GameSack to a new height. I guess, i could say.. welcome to the next level. haha.
Precisely I was watching one of your videos when I received the notification of this video, I love your videos, I don't know how I survived without them, you two are the best
Yes life was miserable before Game Sack.
Imagine if Dave ever left the show... Ha! Oh man, that would never happen
I've been watching so much of this channel in 2020. I wanna know the story of what happened.
Dave said he wanted to spend more time with his family. Him and Joe are still friends, and he's done a quest appearance after he left.
@JFQ Well, it is Joe's show. But Dave was my favorite part of it because of their disagreements and silly sketches at the end of each episode.
@JFQ 100 percent agreed
@matt Watch his Final Episode "Good Modern 2D Games" or the one before "The Atari Lynx" where he announces it.
It's like you made this episode for ME personally, as somebody who recently added the Sega CDX and in need of some games for it :)
MetalJesusRocks this episode proved me that the Sega CD was not flooded with FMV games.
Metal Jesus, you rock.
Metal heyzoose , every episode was made for you,love your show by the way. the guy you do the fist bump with is my favorite. (I'm terrible with names)
Need some more hidden gems videos. Just found killer 7 and godhands. Gonna have to rewatch your ps2 videos
@@Rountree1985 Disagree, MetalJesusSucks.
As always, another great episode. I love my Sega CD and would never get rid of it. It's nice to watch reviews of like-minded collectors who understand what makes a great game. Thank you for all of your hard work that goes into your program as it always makes my day. Nostalgia for LIFE!
I was just watching a Metal Jesus video and I thought "I wonder if there is a new GameSack episode". And here it is. GameSack must have over 9000 megapower.
You guys have slowly become one of my favorite channels on youtube, thanks for doing what you do!
Cool, thanks for watching.
All It took is hearing the snatcher intro music to make me play it again. That jazz but cyberpunk noir feel always makes me listen to it repeatedly.
One of the few retro video game music I have downloaded and constantly listen to.
Nice, the Sega CD deserves some love! Too many people think it only had FMV games... :-/
One of the best "failed" systems to own.
Great episode gents!. Always had a soft spot for the Mega CD.
The Sega CD is great. The video is new for the time, but hasn't aged well.
Although I tend to favor FMV games on the SEGA CD, this super-sized episode covers a lot of the (other) great games for the platform.
I think that it can be difficult for those who didn't experience the SCD in its heyday to understand why it was so important. Concepts like scaling & rotation were still novel and impressive. Redbook audio and voice acting were new concepts entirely for console video games at the time, and FMV-- especially to the degree that CD games were using it-- was really impressive. Of course, today, all of these concepts are taken for granted or considered archaic in nature; console technology has advanced by leaps and bounds since the early 1990s.
It's really great to see the SEGA CD getting this kind of attention, and I've now got a few new additions to my want list, thanks to this video.
Thanks Peter and you have some good points. It was really fun experiencing the capabilities of a new CD system back in the early '90s. I always felt that the possibilities were endless and I was eager to see what the future of gaming was going to be like. Well here we are now in the future and I'm not disappointed. A lot of my favorite games are from the past two generations. I wonder what the future holds for us now. Can't wait to find out.
David White, how Brian G. VanBuren made Sega CD Cinepak ISO?
exactly! i Have just bought a Sega CD after selling it eons ago. Cannot be more happy. The FMV games has a charm of their own. Yea, they´re pixelated, but that´s the charm of the 1990´s. I have just bought the new Steam Night Trap Version. It´s fine, but, really? I´d rather play the original version.
I recently bought a Sega CD system. There are a ton of great games on it. people think its all fmv games but it has tons of gems. lunar silver star and eternal blue are two of the best rpgs of all time. it was an misunderstood system with some great classics. also added amazing sound and was used as a CD player. those were expensive back in the day. same thing as a ps3 having Blu-ray.
I agree about the Lunar games -- best RPGs I've ever played. But it's Sega's fault for focusing on FMV games instead of the awesome scaling and rotation capabilities as evidenced by Batman Returns and Soul Star. If these games had been available at launch, or were pack ins, I think people would have had a very different perception of the system. Too bad :-(
+Tashiro Sato yup that is true if there is an expensive Sega CD game you want go to a website like CoolROMS or Emuparadise and get your games that way or you can just use Kega Fusion which is a multi emulator that emulates everyone of Sega's consoles from the 3rd to 4th generation, I always use Kega Fusion 10 out of 10
***** yeah, you should be getting FMVbola from the 3DO, not the Sega CD
@Tashiro Sato cheaper, yes. not the same experience, I tell you.
Excellent episode. I own two Sega CDs, the Model 1 and Model 2 (Model 2 I've owned since 1995). I've enjoyed playing many of the games here (all the Working Designs games of course, Panic! and Snatcher, among others), and also Earthworm Jim Special Edition, Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side, and more.
A fine antidote to all the unjustified criticism that the Sega CD was "just an FMV machine".
Other than design differences (Model 2 was designed around the Model 2 Genesis, but will work with a Model 1), I've never seen any perceptible differences, perfomance-wise, between the two.
I do use the Model 1 currently because my Model 2 recently quit reading discs (I suspect the cd lens needs replaced). And it's still rock solid.
matt fahringer Yeah, pretty much. Though if you have a Genesis Model 1, having a Sega CD Model one looks more aesthetically pleasing to the eye (just as having a Genny 2 makes the Sega CD Model 2 look better).
I think my brother used to have a Sega cd a long time ago I remember he had Night Trap and that game scared the crap out of me as a little kid. Thanks for showing these lesser known games. Snatcher looks really cool.

Wow.. This is the most epic review you guys have done so far. Stellar!
My collection feels sad due to not having Space Adventure in it. I actually really enjoyed the game and love the heck out of Snatcher, just sucks it's such a pain in the ass to find
Lol snatcher, the game is easy to find, but impossible to find for a reasonable cost. XD I recently got into Sega CD games, and the best ones are going to break the bank. xD
***** No, there's one More; Keio Flying Squadron for SEGA CD commands and even higher price. Around $500-$700 easily. The lunar games are easily $100 each, and Vay and popful mail are reaching that point too.
Rise of the Dragon is a decent alt to Snatcher.
@@JustinLeeper rise of the dragon was one of my favorite games growing up and hardly anyone I knew had even heard of it
lucky for you guys the sega cd doesn't have write-protection lol
burn bb burn 🔥
Sega will always be my favourite... from MegaDrive to Saturn to Dreamcast, I just love Sega!
You guys make a really great show. I really love the Sega CD and your episode does it justice. I am thankful that this will show people who do not have a Sega CD a reason to buy one.
Thank You!
One of the most underrated consoles of all time.
see I know that, but I can't wait to get one for model 2.
Screaming Nikolai Belinski it's not even a console, it relies on the stock Genesis 68K and VDP, and also has access to the YM2612 and SN76489 sound chips.
***** Yes. What is interesting. I don't know if you do already or not. But watch Adam Koralik video on the exact subject. Basically type his name in as well as Sega CD/32x power.
i think the master system was more underrated
NOPE
I've always been a strong supporter of the Sega CD. When it comes to pre-PS1 CD gaming tech, the Sega CD is propably the best thing you'll find. True, it is plagued by an industry that didn't know what it was doing with this technology at the time, but unlike something like the 3DO or CD-I, you can honestly have a decent collection of games to back this purchase and cost only half the price of those heaps of shit. This video is definetly one that showcases this quite well. You won't find the most exotically varied library and there is *alot* of rough to dig through, but the diamonds you find are definite keepers.
3D0 is definitely not as good as Sega CD but it's no heap of shit like cdi either.
The 3DO actually has a bunch of really good games, mostly PC ports.
@@SonofSethoitae
I won't deny that the 3DO had games worth playing on it. It's main issue was just the fact that most of what you'd have wanted to buy on it wasn't anything you couldn't find anywhere else, which didn't help in justifying it's ludicrous price tag.
Impeccable production as always, bravo lads!
40 minutes? Moses! THANKS GUYS! I love the long episodes!
That chopper game was freakn’ awesome. It was an arcade port. It was done in like a dragons lair format!
Dark Wizard was an amazing game, definitely one of my favorite strategy games. I absolutely LOVE the music!
Man...the production quality in these videos is just through the freaking roof! Keep up the good work guys!!!
Thanks! Joe's a maniac at editing.
If Sega had just let Joe market their stuff...
This is the first time I've ever wanted a Sega-CD. Thanks, Sack!
LOVE that scene following the credits! I'm going to have to buy a Sega CD now. This episode sold it for me.
I can't remember the last TH-cam video i watched that wasn't a Game Sack one. Fantastic work.
this might be the best Game Sack episode out there. i love this so much! i always check this episode before sega mega cd game hunting.
Finally, the episode I've been waiting for since finding this show. I have my own Mega-CD, and I LOVE it. I think it's a vastly underrated and "Overhated" (Pat. Pend.) add-on. When people judge it, it's always "They should have just called this 'The SEGA Shitty Full Motion Video Console'.", they always pretend that the good/great games for the system don't exist, in my own collection I've got "The Amazing Spider-Man Vs. The Kingpin", "Ecco the Dolphin", "Sonic CD" and "Road Avenger" and have loved them all, I've even even enjoyed playing the poor FMV games like "INXS: Make My Video", mainly for their cheesy 90s feel. I feel it's a great add-on/system and deserved to do better. Great review guys, and just to let you know, you have at least one fan as far as New Zealand (Me).
P.S.
Laughed hard at the FMVbola joke.
One of your best episodes!! Thank you for covering some actual games with gameplay and not just the FMV ones!! Any chance of you guys making a Turbo Grafx 16 CD episode?!?! I never owned that system but would love to see what great games were on it. Keep up the good work!!
I gotta say, you guys do such a top notch job with videography, post-production, and editing. It's a shame your videos don't have even more views. Great stuff.
I agree with that
Man, you guys had to make another video. I just got a PS4 two days ago with Farcry 4 and have been working 12 hour shifts. I just got off of work and now I have two watch a 40 minute video. I knew I shouldn't have turned my PC on. lol
LoL. How is Far Cry 4? I think I want it.
I'm liking the game play, its a better looking Farcry 3. So far about 3 or 4 hours in, the story is not as compelling to play as 3 but hopefully I will get into it when I get some time to play. If you enjoyed 3 then it is a buy.
The Sega CD is my favorite add-on for the Genesis, solely for the games like Sonic CD, NHL '94, Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side, Final Fight CD, Silpheed, Earthworm Jim: Special Edition. etc.
yes! all of those. which else would you recommend?
@@lemarechaltateau Keio Flying Squadron is an absolute must if you like horizontal shmups at all; Robo Aleste is the same deal for vertical shmups. Both are truly fantastic. Mickey Mania goes from being merely mediocre on other platforms to great on the Mega/Sega CD. The Misadventures of Flink is a gorgeous platformer. Popful Mail is super fun. And Wolfchild is... interesting; certainly worth a try.
I really liked that FMVbola segment at the end. Keep up the good work guys!
My new favorite episode. The Sega CD really deserves so much more love then it gets.
Great episode! I'm a big fan of the Sega CD so it's always great to see some positive things mentioned about the system for a change.
This made me want to buy a Sega CD. I've never been very interested but now I'm sold!
i really dig these videos, thanks for doing them. love the format you run and the goofy banter
Thanks for watching!
I've owned a Sega CD since Christmas 1992. It is great to see videos like this so newer gamers (or people who didn't have access to it then) get a chance to see what it was all about.
Fantastic video Game Sack.
If you had the right games, this was a great system.
+Jeremy Cline *YES*.
A really worthy episode of Game Sack! I love the dynamic you guys have, Dave always cracks me up. I loved all the details in the games too, like the characters personalized to look like you guys. You also featured great not so covered games and a ton of information neatly organized about each one. This was one hell of an episode!! I LOVED the end gags as always, but these cracked me up! I will probably watch this episode a bunch of times!
It was already mentioned in a previous episode but just wanted to plug Eternal Champions: Challenge From The Dark Side. It is an incredible exclusive for the system and really made great use of the cd medium with tons of fighters, moves, fatalities "overkills" in this case, nice use of fmv.
Masterfully edited and encoded. Joe, good job on encoding that video game footage. I have no idea how you managed to make the games look perfect while not being 60fps.
This is probably the best encoded video game footage I have ever seen on TH-cam.
Or is it 60fps and I'm missing something? This was amazing to watch. Those Silpheed sequences looked incredible and smooth. Could you tell how you did that? How did you avoid desynchronizing the games' flickering of sprites while not being at full fps?
I'll never tell! But yes it is 30fps.
matt fahringer
TH-cam supports 60fps now. If you use Google Chrome, you can experience it if the video was uploaded that way.
Game Sack, tell me please how to encode sega cd Cinepak ISO?
"I remember that episode of GameSack when it came out! That was only a year or two ago, let's check the description..... oh....."
Me just now
I remember when this first came out, magical times back then. I'm a heavy metal musician who throughout my highschool career actually spent most of my weekends and some week days playing in bars, yes in bars. When you have hair down to your ass and your band is actually good the owners never questioned us. With that being said I didn't start getting into video games until I was 20 or 21 years old and I started off with a Sega Genesis. Being that young and being around the crowd I was in, I developed a few nasty addictions, I found that playing video games all night kept my mind off of the booze and drugs. I might just be lucky but gaming really helped me kick my addictions. So I was a total Sega nerd, when I wasn't playing music at night, working my day job, I was stuck in front of my TV. When the Sega CD came out, it blew me away, I had to have one. I wasn't able to get the model one but my girlfriend bought me the model two when it came out, absolutely loved it, it did have some crappy games but it had some awesome ones too. I spent more time on my Sega CD than I ever did on my Genesis even took it on the road gigging and would spend the night after jamming, playing video games in the motel room the rest of the night. Looking back, that "so called shitty add on" probably saved my life, good times, good times.
Dark Wizard was my favorite Sega CD game! The music in that game is so well composed! It gets my pick!
A lot of people say its underrated and Sega messed up the marketing etc, but you know what, the thing was just too damn expensive for most people here. Everyone who had a Mega Drive would have liked the CD but Santa put his foot down.
I agree I think price had a lot to do with it, especially the original price. That made it harder for the thing to get off the ground. If the model 1 unit came with a spring loaded tray (push-push like an SD card slot) it could have been cheaper. If it had a flip top at the outset it could have been cheaper still.
Game Sack Yea exactly. The model 1 has an electric tray on rails, that costs a shit ton to manufacture.
Game Sack Yeah, but saying as the poster seems to be European, its worth pointing out that the Model 1 version got a pretty limited release here. Off the top of my head, I think there was only 6 months between the Model 1 and Model 2, if that.
The problem was that rather than pass the lower production costs onto the customer, Sega Europe instead decided to increase their profit margin a tad. Plus it still seemed like a brand new system in the 'Old World'.
The RRP difference between the two models was pretty small, though at least the European Model 2 tended to come with the Sega Classics Arcade Collection, Cobra Command and Sol-Feace as standard. I think they also added Road Avenger to that bundled list in early 94.
Also, saying as its the UK, the price was massively inflated as usual. About $350 at Xmas 93 when I got my Model 2.
It's always worth remember that Sega was always huge in Europe, and especially Britain. The Mega-Drive utterly dominated the Super Nintendo, the Master System actually beat out the NES.
They didn't have the same struggle to win over customers here as they did in the US.
Totally! Here in south america it was crazy expensive, but ultimately the advertising had something to do with it, because the games being advertised weren't worth the money. All the games advertised were like first person or FMV, and at the time I could get much better things for my PC. If I'd known which exclusive games I was missing, I would have totally gave it a second thought back then (like the games featured in this episode)
Due to adding the Motorola and extra ram as with the scaling and rotation chip. Lack of promoting there killer apps like sonic cd, soulstar, rpg/strategie games, and many more.
Wow 40 minutes long.. I think we need to get you all a pizza for this.
I never owned a Sega CD. Nor played any game except the Sonic one. I was too much into my brand new Super Nintendo. Was "Super" excited.
I was going to mention Magic Knight Rayearth since I thought there was one on the Sega CD but remembered it being on the Saturn.
FMV bola. No wonder why Joe looked a bit flushed, looked pale and lack of color with a bit of the raspy/horse voice. :p
Anyways, I don't have anything else to say so thanks for this awesome long show guys.
dude, yeah, please get me a pizza for this :D lmao
Thanks Amber!
I love the Sega CD. One of my favorite systems ever. Really like the early 90's cd systems. Neo CD, Sega CD, Turbo CD.
Nice work on this show! Been anticipating a full-fledged Sega CD episode and this did not disappoint. Also really enjoyed the release-date calendar easter eggs and the FMVbola tag.
Loved the episode! My brother and I saved our money when we were 11 and 13 for the Sega CD. It was the first thing I ever saved my allowance for when I was a kid. We even pre-ordered it from Japan out of an Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine months ahead of time. Unfortunately at our age, we were unable to do much other than rent games for it. And most video stores had the lamest titles. I was pretty disappointed with it in general back then. But I still have it and love it! Now that I'm older and can find the titles I never knew existed when I was a kid, the system is my favorite in my collection.
Thanks guys, keep on with your amazing channel!
Thanks! Good story.
Okay, you guys made the Sega CD look really really cool! I'm convinced now...
And I've already played Popful Mail and Silpheed on the PC-88 and they're awesome! I'd like to play the Sega CD versions too...
One more thing, are you guys still planning on doing that FM towns episode? ;3
Hey! You are the one who draw PC-88 stuff on DeviantArt?
Pepe Luis Yes I am ^^
And PC-98 too!
And I was about to upload some PC-88 stuff on my channel. Metal Orange to be precise. I simply love the sound of that NEC computers. Oh yeah, and your art is pretty cool tho. I'm DANMAKUMAN there in DA btw.
Pepe Luis Oh yeah! I remember you! You've done that Magical Chase fanart right? ^^
And I also love their sound ^^
I've uploaded a song from Music Floppy vol. 2 for the PC-88 on my secondary channel, Final take off 2, it's pretty darn awesome!
I wanted to upload more songs from Music Floppy vol. 2 but I was having a few problems with the sound...
***** Yeah, sort of...
The PC-88 did dominate the Japanese PC market through most of the 80s and was the PC that originated games such as Thexder, Silpheed, Dragon Slayer, Sorcerian, Portopia serial murder case, Valis, Ys and Popful mail!
It was so cool and popular that it even got Nintendo games in it! (by Hudson Soft, licensed from Nintendo) Like Ice Climber, Excitebike, NES golf, and variations of Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. Special!
Not to mention, it has a version of Space Harrier that sounds amazing!
Thank you for properly showing off the Sega CD. So tired of pretty much everyone on the Internet shitting on it.
Amazing visual effects, One of the best episodes, guys!
Wonderful episode guys!!! Loved my Sega CD (was a sucker for CD stuff, TurboGrafx and otherwise). Keep it up, just awesome.
Hey, it’s Chris Bucci. I’m a big fan!
31:30 "Why is my mouse moving by itself..." =)
It isn't. It's moving because I moved the mouse.
Game Sack lol yep I know, I just found it amusing initially.
Game Sack, How you encode to sega cd video?
Starting my day by watching Game Sack and eating noodles. What a good time
Even for a show that delivers great episodes consistently you guys out did yourselves with this one. A massive episode well edited and a cool end credit scene. Great job guys it's your best one yet.
Even though I am and always will be a Super Nintendo fan, I really think the Sega CD is a sadly underrated console. I have a CDX and a few of the better titles. I'm kinda disappointed you guys didn't talk about Earthworm Jim Special Edition, but I guess it's not that different than the console versions.
Well it did have that extra level which was... OK. But it was worth it to hear Jim say "I'm nude!". I remember my girlfriend at the time getting a big kick out of the Sega CD version of that game for whatever reason. It's definitely the definitive version of the first game.
Game Sack Groovy!
Managed to find a Model 2 unopened last week, couldn't believe it. TIME FOR SNATCHER.
Technique San
Unopened?? Awesome! Tell me you recorded opening it?
Unfortunately not, I'm that introvert kind of person, but i can tell you it was mint, with that sweet brand new smell, lol.
Technique San Model 2, though more reliable, looks like poopoo compared to the Model 1.
Wow.. First off, Premium Retro gaming-shows you pull off. My new place on TH-cam, so thanks. Secon, another wow, I always thought Sega CD was crap. My friend here in Sweden owned an expensive one and unfortunately only the bad FMV games. This absolutely changed my opinion on the console attachment
I was so excited when I got this for Christmas. I loved feeling like I was gaming on the cutting edge and also hoped I would get to play Night Trap. FMV seemed like the logical progression even though a lot of those games controlled like Dragon Quest. I only ever really played Star Wars chess and the Kris Kross movie maker but I enjoyed it for years.
Wow, it was really nice to see you guys showing the Sega CD doesn't suck, unlike everyone else, who tries to make us think that way. Congratulations! One of your best videos so far. Will the Mega Drive get an episode too?
I LOVE THE SEGA CD!!! Snatcher is my favorite game on the console :)
Same here for sure.
Do you have a physical copy of this game too? I spent an arm and a leg on mine.
***** Not yet, but I definitely will be getting Snatcher for Christmas.
It's worth every last penny. Good luck finding a copy!
Bari-Arm was way ahead of its time, I've been playing and loving it!
I've been waiting for this episode! Great job guys!
... why no Wonderdog?? This was a fantastic platformer by Core, and my favorite Sega CD game. Lots of levels, a ton of different enwmies, great graphics and music, and spot-on controls... yet this game never gets any love.
Yes sega CD is awesome and underrated.
Na its 💩
"It's Friday! Where should I sit?" "Buy Steven Seagal Costume" "Tease cat" "Clean up cat vomit from pillow" I had a feeling some funny stuff was on the calender. I'm glad I kept pausing and another great video by the way. I always love these console episodes
Dave has to play PS1 for the cure! (aka SNES CD)
I did. I played Jumping Flash and felt much better.
This review changed my thoughts about SegaCD.It seems to be a quite powerful attachment for its time,if you exclude the FMV based games,which in my opinion was a little bit lame.By the way,please GameSack,make an episode of Amiga CD 32 console.Nobody has made so far a descend review for this system!Give it a try,thanks!
Thanks! The SEGACD does have some good games for sure. If somebody let's us borrow an Amiga CD we will review it. That would be fun.
This was one damn good episode! I Love it! And I really had a big smile on my face at the fmv joke in the end. Thank you for this episode :)
THE BEST EPISODE SO FAR (maybe because it's the longer??)!
You guys inspired me playing/collecting these 90's gems. Already got a Sega CDX and Saturn. And looking for SNES and Dreamcast in good shape.
Anxiously waiting the next episode.
Thank you guys.
Is anyone talking about the other entries on the calendar for October 1992?
Model 2 for sure on the sega cd.
Sega did such a terrible job marketing the system. It was widely thought of as a failure, as they tried to push the FMV games the most, even though they were by far the worst ones on the system. There were just so many great games that were for the most part unknown unless you were really in the know. And Sega also made a huge mistake by going with the mechanical tray model first instead of a more reliable pop-top version.
Its been a long time since I bought a Sega CD and you guys got me thinking about it again....finding them is collector condition is not easy these days though. Great video guys :)
I always loved the port of the Smurfs. It had exclusive cut scenes that made it seem like you were watching an episode of the show. Other games I'd play through, Sonic CD, Prince of Persia, both Ecco 1 and 2, Spider-Man, Snatcher, Sol-Feace, Time Gal, Popful Mail, Power Rangers, Mickey Mania, NBA Jam, Mansion of Hidden Souls, Lords of Thunder, and Keio Flyng Squadron. I like Cute em ups too.
you guys should list the games you covered so we can easily copy and paste them into want lists lol
We do, at www.gamesack.net
Thanks
+Game Sack how did you make encode cinepak for sega cd work?
I miss dave
