I moved across country to the east coast for grad school and watching this reminds me of the good times watching Sunday Game Sack episodes. Thanks guys for helping with my homesickness. :)
Darius Twin was the very first SNES game I ever bought, back in the day, and when I rebought a SNES a few years ago, it was the first game I picked up with it. Love that game.
[Coury] earlier in the year when we did a video our favorite first level music themes from 8 and 16 bit games, Darius Twin would have been number 6. Absolutely amazing tune and honestly, the only real reason i own the game. Also, amazing ending skit.
Nice to see Darius Twin finally get a little love and Imperium too. Two games I feel are a touch underrated. As far as other SNES shooters ( and I'm trying to avoid anything you guys covered in the previous episode ) I would say check out Macross Scrambled Valkyrie - one of the best on the system. Flying Hero. Acrobat Mission. Cotton 100%. Spriggan Powered. Cosmo Gang the Video. Super EDF ( < not sure if you covered that already).
"Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie" for the Super Nintendo is one of my favourites! If you guys ever decide to do a part 3, you should check it out!
Oh, thank goodness you made a volume two. I was going to have a meltdown because you guys missed a few in the first episode. Phew! I almost had to swallow a whole Bottle of happy pills because you guys missed my favorite game. Thanks a million guys. LMFAO
I don't think Gamesack is boring. I like learning about games that I didn't get the chance to play while looking at gameplay. The dry humor is perfect for this style of video game retrospective. There's also some genuinely funny moments on Gamesack.
Hi awesome Game Sack friends! I just finished a late night session of Destiny and, much to my extreme pleasure, saw that you once again uploaded an award-winning video! Your internet episodes are the extreme enjoy, and as always they cause my bowels to really loosen up and get things rolling! Sometimes while I'm driving and I'm far away from a safe dumping zone, I envision my internal septic system being governed by the all-time greatest of all greats Super Nintendo Entertainment System CPU, so that when things get heavy and my guts are full of sprites, the action slows down just enough to get me where I have to be to make a clean bombing run without soiling myself. If I find myself in a small enough bathroom with just the right acoustics, I can even emulate the famous SNES reverb with my violent movements! Life is great, isn't it? Hope all is well, friends!
+royalguard56 Speaking of award winning........This short story is full of enjoy and when I am enjoying such things my bowels start to move like yours do with a good episode of Game Sack. It is time for me to void my colon and I thank you for the catalyst.
@@tetrisdave this comment was only more excellent enjoy, by the commode 7 scaling and rotating of the background while I megaforce my special pod and scramble a valkyrie with my power up and screen clearing attacks
I'm addicted to Game Sack. Please keep making videos.The Musha bit at the end was awesome! Out of these SNES schmups, I feel like the only ones I would want are the one with the 2 Unlimited soundtrack and Aero Fighters.
You guys are great! I love that you've put more work into writing some humor into your scripts, and the short escapades at the end of your videos. Keep it up.
Great episode guys ! I have a suggestion for an episode : Why don't you do an episode comparing Japanese box art vs Us box art (or Euro)? The difference between the 2 is sometimes staggering. Keep up the good work !
There's a good deal of Japanese-exclusive SNES shooters out there where you MIGHT be able to make a third episode. Two that come to mind instantly are Rendering Ranger (R2) and Macross Scrambled Valkyrie. I'm sure one or both of these has been covered in previous episodes under different categories, but the latter is especially a classic.
Nice! The XE-1 AP bit at the end was pretty sweet, it's a little-known accessory by Dempa that worked on the Genesis as well as some Japanese home computers of the time. I'd actually like to see maybe a mini-episode about it, since it actually does make the games it works in very different thanks to its analogue controls. After Burner II (both the standard Genesis and 32x versions) is massively improved with it. It would be interesting to see how it controls with standard titles, as well!
Awesome vid, I love Darius Twin (the whole series really) and the Sonic Wings series is great too, especially the sequels on the Neo Geo and Saturn. There are plenty of Parodius games on the SuFami that are all a lot of fun, my favorite on the system is probably still Area 88 though, for whatever reason I just really love that game.
+Ruko Michiharu hmm i honestly don't remember what my first shooter was. maybe galaga? or zaxxon? either way out of all the games in this video aero fighters intrigued me the most.
racerxgundam It's pretty cool! But NOBODY EVER talks about it >o> (Not the SNES version at least, everybody only talks about the Neo Geo sequel) I think you should give it a try, at least emulate it, it's fun!
I also liked stg, had fun trying out all the different weapons and figuring out what was best for each level. This and 2 players was enough for me to really enjoy it.
Damn you guys...another awesome video?? I was busy watching UFC and Rhonda Rousy get her head kicked into oblivion last night when I saw this was posted. I paused the long overdue ass kicking just so I could watch this..And it was well worth it!!!! You guys inspire me to explore games/systems I've never played before! As always, thanks!!!
I know you guys covered Axelay in episode 33, but I wanted to mention it again so people can check it out. An exclusive shooter from Konami and it's really good. Definitely a hidden gem!
Glad you guys finally covered Aerofighters. I loved that game growing up, and oddly it was the only shmup I owned as a Genesis/SNES owner. When I got to highschool a friend and I would play co-op all the time through the network mode of Snes9x in java class on our own computers...great memories. As the end of the video neared I was wondering if you were even going to mention it, being I never remember it being covered despite seeing all your videos as a subscriber from literally your first video on as I was a new 3DS owner and looking for all the content on it that I could find. Very glad to see how your channel has grown, and I would love to see you overtake the likes of someone like AngryJoe in subscriber count one day. Good luck Joe and Dave, thanks for all the fantastic content over the years, I truly appreciate your efforts.
Have I ever mentioned how I love it how early you guys post your videos for us night owls, and also I was wondering if I could suggest a topic for a future video, local co-op Genesis/SNES games?
Sadly I didn't play alot of SNES shooters. I only played Darius Twin, Gradius III, Super R-Type, Axelay and UN Squadron. Out of those 5 I preferred Axelay and UN Squadron, which was already covered in your Anime to Video Game segment. Kick ass episode Game Sack. Another funny as hell ending. \,,/
+moviemetalhead Area 88 (UN Squadron) was my favourite too. Super Aleste is good and Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie is worth picking up too.
Strike Gunner for me is one of the best schmups on the system. The bosses have weaknesses to certain sub weapons, some sub weapons also make certain stages easier too. It's also got good music, good sound and is really satisfying to play multiplayer for a schmup on the same screen at the same time! And done well!
After a horrible night walking god knows how many miles home in the cold and dark to find I lost my keys and had to break in to my home at 6:30 in the morning waking my neighbours up!! It's such a pleasant feeling to sit in bed will a bowl of sweet porridge with the Game Sack boys taking about my fave genre on my fave console. :)
watching the footage of hunt for red october actually made me feel motion sick and that has never happened in my 25yrs of gaming. I must be getting old :p
Good video guys. I have been re-watching several of these SHMUP videos you guys have done looking for things to play. I would love to see if you guys have some of the GBA options. I loaded up on a handful of those recently, and have really enjoyed them.
My favorite shmup on the SNES is easily Axelay. The others I've played aren't horrible but Axelay is the only really good one to me. It really works to the advantage of the SNES hardware.
Thank you for helping me figure out what shooter I played when was a kid that transitioned between hi/low altitude!! Never was able to find out what it's name was! 17:05 - We apologize. Those responsible have been sacked!!!
Did you talked about SDF Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie in another episode?, i noticed it wasn't mentioned here or in the recomended video at the end. It's one of my favorites games on the Snes.
love the self defeating humor. 'maybe you like boring stuff like watching game sack' haha. yes I do like watching game sack. keep up the good work guys.
IDK why but i thought this was going to be about super scope games. not big on them but was still gonna watch it, upon realizing what its about im super stoked. GAME SACK RULES !!!!
Glad you guys mentioned Biometal. I reviewed it on my show last season. One important mechanic you guys glossed over was the cancel mechanic which allows you to pull your shield in at a quicker pace. This speeds up attacks. I actually preferred 2 Unlimited's tracks over the Japanese OST, personally.
You left out the coolest part of STG- the ability to combine planes with players 1 and 2. There's also the strategy behind picking the sub-weapons: some are significantly more powerful than others, so they need to be saved until the later levels. It's by no means a fantastic shooter, but there's some great ideas that should really be revived.
I know tiny phalanx was not a snes title but when I discovered this game hidden in Zero Divide, I've actually play more of the tiny phalanx than the actual game I bought for lol. I can still remember the music for the mini game.
+H Koizumi Agreed. I actually purchased Zero Divide just for Tiny Phalanx and still listen to it's (tiny?) OST to this day. The level 1 song is especially awesome IMHO.
Aero Fighters IS a game that really sticks with me. Such an amazing game for it's time. Also there's 8 different jets in the game. 2P side had different fighters than 1P side from the 4 countries you can choose from.
PS, that Genesis controller looks cool, but I fancy the almighty original 3 button arcade stick. One day, if I'm lucky, I may be able to steer THE TANK. Godspeed Dane. Miss ya buddy.
Aero Fighters is a great game, and when you play on player 2 you get 4 diferent plains with diferent weapons. I realy prefer USA on Player 2 than the player 1.
Pinball and shoot'm'up is not my type og game. It's nice with som variety in the shows though, and I watch Game Sack every week. Keep up the good work guys! Blessings from Denmark :)
Awesome episode as always guys, but I think the reason we did not see more shooters on the SNES was because of the slower speed of the CPU on the SNES.
Good stuff guys. It's a shame you still missed out Macross. That really is a kick arse shooter for the SFC. Still, it was funny to see many stinkers on there this time.
Great episode as allways. You guys make my Sunday hangovers more bearable. I think the only good ones you left were Pop'n TwinBee and the imports Choujikuu Yousai Macross - Scrambled Valkyrie and Maerchen Adventure Cotton 100%, both great, specially the Macross game. Then there is Rendering Ranger, since half of the game is an horizontal shmup I would qualify it as shoot'em up, and it's the best part of the game and one of the better the system has, I'd said. EDIT oh, and there is that game with a flying egg, Flying Hero, that's a good one.
Since Dave apparently has no friends (not even Joe) to play games with, I should mention one of the most unique features of Strike Gunner that he didn't mention is that in 2 player mode, both ships can merge together into two forms to fight together which is neat :) .
a bit unrelated have you mentioned Vorpal in your other vids? it a cool shoot em up with a more bare bones style, you and the boss. cool bullet hell game, last time i checked it was on xbox 360 only
If there are games I hate that's shoot-em-ups, driving games, sport games and [video] pinballs. But I love your videos. That being said TurboGrafx16/PC Engine has some goddamn good overhead shooters that I would even play myself. And I repeat: I hate shooters.
Another great episode guys. I look forward to coming home from work Saturday nights to have your show to watch as I settle down to sleep. Have you done a Genesis Shooterrs Episode.. My favorite Genesis shooter is definitely Gaiares, 2nd Favorite though ridiculously hard is Hellfire... Keep up the great work... Also can you guys do a Genesis RPG episode.. I think the Genny is devilishly overlooked for it's great RPG's that I grew up with
Game Sack has quickly become my favorite game series. I always look forward to new ones, and I love re-watching old ones.
I just wanna say that one of the things that keeps me hooked to this excellent channel is the humor. At 5:48 and 7:08 I'm dying. Keep it up!
I moved across country to the east coast for grad school and watching this reminds me of the good times watching Sunday Game Sack episodes. Thanks guys for helping with my homesickness. :)
I can't think of anything better than getting home and finding there's a new episode of Game Sack!
...maybe that's why I'm single...
Darius Twin was the very first SNES game I ever bought, back in the day, and when I rebought a SNES a few years ago, it was the first game I picked up with it. Love that game.
The music is outstanding in that game
[Coury] earlier in the year when we did a video our favorite first level music themes from 8 and 16 bit games, Darius Twin would have been number 6. Absolutely amazing tune and honestly, the only real reason i own the game.
Also, amazing ending skit.
"Joe made me say that." lol. You guys are great. Thanks for all the hard work you put into making these videos. 😃👍
Nice to see Darius Twin finally get a little love and Imperium too. Two games I feel are a touch underrated. As far as other SNES shooters ( and I'm trying to avoid anything you guys covered in the previous episode ) I would say check out Macross Scrambled Valkyrie - one of the best on the system. Flying Hero. Acrobat Mission. Cotton 100%. Spriggan Powered. Cosmo Gang the Video. Super EDF ( < not sure if you covered that already).
19:10 Oh my gosh that effect does look really amazing!!
i love the way you guys present everything. you guys have my favorite show on TH-cam. i look forward to it all week. keep up the good work
Classic Sunday morning here in the UK, Giant mug of tea watching game sack.......perfect xD
"Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie" for the Super Nintendo is one of my favourites! If you guys ever decide to do a part 3, you should check it out!
"Hunt For Red October" made me think of a new episode idea...."Games That Require Game Genie To Complete" LOL
DvdXploitr omg its the el hyphen guy
Thanks!
Thank you! :D
Every Saturday night, I save my sack to watch me some Sack.
Ah, another sack-satisfying episode. My sack is full of gaming goodness and should last for another week.
The dry humor gets me every time. 😂 You guys are my favorite, don't ever stop making content, Game Sack!
All I had for SNES shooters were UN Squadron and Gradius III
I think I made out pretty well.
Oh, thank goodness you made a volume two. I was going to have a meltdown because you guys missed a few in the first episode. Phew! I almost had to swallow a whole
Bottle of happy pills because you guys missed my favorite game. Thanks a million guys. LMFAO

That Hunt for Red October game reminds me a lot of In The Hunt, one of my favorite side shooters.
I'm addicted to Game Sack. Please keep making videos.The Musha bit at the end was awesome! Out of these SNES schmups, I feel like the only ones I would want are the one with the 2 Unlimited soundtrack and Aero Fighters.

That so much power!!!!! Line was fucking hilarious, I love it when you do that and MEGA POWER!!! Please do it more
+Kenny Mentzer I LOL'ed pretty hard too
the highlight of your episodes are usually at the end and this is no exception--total laugh trip!!!
"Helipads are for helicopters"
Someone make that a t-shirt. That's going to be the next "do alligators alligate?".
Awww, for what it's worth, I don't watch your show out of boredom. I find your analyses interesting and informative. Very professional. Keep it up :)
Nice! The XE-1 AP bit at the end was pretty sweet, it's a little-known accessory by Dempa that worked on the Genesis as well as some Japanese home computers of the time.

Oh man! The end was definitely the funniest ending I've seen in a long time. So good!!!
Great episode! Aero Fighters must be awesome to contain the Swedish military aircrafts in it :). Was very glad to see it.
Awesome vid, I love Darius Twin (the whole series really) and the Sonic Wings series is great too, especially the sequels on the Neo Geo and Saturn. There are plenty of Parodius games on the SuFami that are all a lot of fun, my favorite on the system is probably still Area 88 though, for whatever reason I just really love that game.
I'm so glad you talked about Aero Fighters! That was the first shoot'em up I've ever played!
I like it a lot ^^
+Ruko Michiharu hmm i honestly don't remember what my first shooter was. maybe galaga? or zaxxon? either way out of all the games in this video aero fighters intrigued me the most.
racerxgundam It's pretty cool! But NOBODY EVER talks about it >o> (Not the SNES version at least, everybody only talks about the Neo Geo sequel)
I think you should give it a try, at least emulate it, it's fun!
Aero Fighters is pretty much Strikers 1945 "Zero"
wow you guys finally talked about STG!!!
it was my favorite vertical shooter.
the diferent sub weapons, was really fun to play with.
I also liked stg, had fun trying out all the different weapons and figuring out what was best for each level. This and 2 players was enough for me to really enjoy it.
Lol!
In my opinion,it is better then the arcade version
They need to make a shmup featuring Darius Rucker as another game in the Darius series.
+RetroGamingTube 85 hooties blowfish escapades
+RetroGamingTube 85 That would blow (fish).
Damn you guys...another awesome video?? I was busy watching UFC and Rhonda Rousy get her head kicked into oblivion last night when I saw this was posted. I paused the long overdue ass kicking just so I could watch this..And it was well worth it!!!!
You guys inspire me to explore games/systems I've never played before!
As always, thanks!!!
Rype 3 would be my pick for best shoot em up on the SNES. Hard as hell but oh so good.
Really great episode, nice to see some of the more obscure games in a genre.
your videos HAVE SO MUCH POWER!!! Seriously, guys... I love you!!!
awesome !!! it's not Sunday without your videos! thanks guys
I know you guys covered Axelay in episode 33, but I wanted to mention it again so people can check it out. An exclusive shooter from Konami and it's really good. Definitely a hidden gem!
Suddenly Metal Jesus appeared out of nowhere because you said the ancient words to summon him
Lol yes ...hidden gem..Metal Jesus appears outta nowhere with that amibo chick.
Glad you guys finally covered Aerofighters. I loved that game growing up, and oddly it was the only shmup I owned as a Genesis/SNES owner.

Another fine episode, gentlemen. Thanks for making it/them!

+moviemetalhead Area 88 (UN Squadron) was my favourite too. Super Aleste is good and Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie is worth picking up too.
+Robert Wilson I'll give those a look sometime. Thanks.
One of the most entertaining video from you guys! Keep it up! Killed me with the STG joke!
Strike Gunner for me is one of the best schmups on the system. The bosses have weaknesses to certain sub weapons, some sub weapons also make certain stages easier too. It's also got good music, good sound and is really satisfying to play multiplayer for a schmup on the same screen at the same time! And done well!
By the way... Game Sack is NOT BORING! I like the content, the perspectives, and the well hell... all of it!!!
good video! i play most of my shmups on the PS2 or 360. its nice to see some of the earlier games that defined the genre
"Who knew a submarine could be so agile?!" Yeah, that's the 'caterpillar drive' in effect.
Nothing makes a Sunday better than a big bit of sack.
After a horrible night walking god knows how many miles home in the cold and dark to find I lost my keys and had to break in to my home at 6:30 in the morning waking my neighbours up!! It's such a pleasant feeling to sit in bed will a bowl of sweet porridge with the Game Sack boys taking about my fave genre on my fave console. :)
R-Type 3 was my favorite Snes shooter. Damn I Miss my SNES.
Fantastic Video As Always Guys!
My favorite SNES shooter is Firepower 2000. I wanted to share my like for the game so much it was my first TH-cam video review to boot.
watching the footage of hunt for red october actually made me feel motion sick and that has never happened in my 25yrs of gaming. I must be getting old :p
Good video guys. I have been re-watching several of these SHMUP videos you guys have done looking for things to play. I would love to see if you guys have some of the GBA options. I loaded up on a handful of those recently, and have really enjoyed them.
My favorite shmup on the SNES is easily Axelay. The others I've played aren't horrible but Axelay is the only really good one to me. It really works to the advantage of the SNES hardware.
Nice one guys, pure class as always :) Love your vids, they're the best part of my Sunday's :)
+Æro Thank You!
Thank you for helping me figure out what shooter I played when was a kid that transitioned between hi/low altitude!! Never was able to find out what it's name was!
17:05 - We apologize. Those responsible have been sacked!!!
Did you talked about SDF Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie in another episode?, i noticed it wasn't mentioned here or in the recomended video at the end. It's one of my favorites games on the Snes.
love the self defeating humor. 'maybe you like boring stuff like watching game sack' haha. yes I do like watching game sack. keep up the good work guys.
"Joe made me say that"- I laughed out loud :-D
Blue and black shirts. Clearly Game Sack listens to its fans. I approve and am pleased with these choices.
IDK why but i thought this was going to be about super scope games. not big on them but was still gonna watch it, upon realizing what its about im super stoked. GAME SACK RULES !!!!
Glad you guys mentioned Biometal. I reviewed it on my show last season. One important mechanic you guys glossed over was the cancel mechanic which allows you to pull your shield in at a quicker pace. This speeds up attacks. I actually preferred 2 Unlimited's tracks over the Japanese OST, personally.
You left out the coolest part of STG- the ability to combine planes with players 1 and 2.
There's also the strategy behind picking the sub-weapons: some are significantly more powerful than others, so they need to be saved until the later levels. It's by no means a fantastic shooter, but there's some great ideas that should really be revived.
I know tiny phalanx was not a snes title but when I discovered this game hidden in Zero Divide, I've actually play more of the tiny phalanx than the actual game I bought for lol. I can still remember the music for the mini game.
+H Koizumi Agreed. I actually purchased Zero Divide just for Tiny Phalanx and still listen to it's (tiny?) OST to this day. The level 1 song is especially awesome IMHO.
Hunt for red October was a game me and by grandpa played together a lot. He loved the super scope so much
Aero Fighters IS a game that really sticks with me. Such an amazing game for it's time. Also there's 8 different jets in the game. 2P side had different fighters than 1P side from the 4 countries you can choose from.
That controller at the end made it look like Musha was being played with a mouse and the ship is the mouse cursor.
So happy that you did Aerofighters, I still have my original copy! I could never bring myself to sell it though.
PS, that Genesis controller looks cool, but I fancy the almighty original 3 button arcade stick. One day, if I'm lucky, I may be able to steer THE TANK. Godspeed Dane. Miss ya buddy.
"worth about $10 bucks or so..."
*loads everdrive w/ evil laughing*
Aero Fighters is a great game, and when you play on player 2 you get 4 diferent plains with diferent weapons. I realy prefer USA on Player 2 than the player 1.
Pinball and shoot'm'up is not my type og game. It's nice with som variety in the shows though, and I watch Game Sack every week. Keep up the good work guys! Blessings from Denmark :)
That controller at the end was ridiculous.
Asmik did make Verytex, which is fab
5:22 Joe thinks Game Sack is boring? But it so exciting with dem jokes and audible enthusiasm.
+Zeldas Champion dat audible~~
shoot 'em ups are one of my fave types of games :D
Awesome episode as always guys, but I think the reason we did not see more shooters on the SNES was because of the slower speed of the CPU on the SNES.
I'll always watch Game Sack! You guys got me through the monotony that was getting 100% on Watch_Dogs! ♥
I agree with you guys, Aero Fighters is awesome. I remember playing the arcade version during breaks at an old tech support job I had. Good times!
Good stuff guys. It's a shame you still missed out Macross. That really is a kick arse shooter for the SFC. Still, it was funny to see many stinkers on there this time.
+Retro Core And I was about to mention Macross, dude haha
Great episode as allways. You guys make my Sunday hangovers more bearable.
I think the only good ones you left were Pop'n TwinBee and the imports Choujikuu Yousai Macross - Scrambled Valkyrie and Maerchen Adventure Cotton 100%, both great, specially the Macross game. Then there is Rendering Ranger, since half of the game is an horizontal shmup I would qualify it as shoot'em up, and it's the best part of the game and one of the better the system has, I'd said.
EDIT oh, and there is that game with a flying egg, Flying Hero, that's a good one.
Since Dave apparently has no friends (not even Joe) to play games with, I should mention one of the most unique features of Strike Gunner that he didn't mention is that in 2 player mode, both ships can merge together into two forms to fight together which is neat :) .
Never change your humour guys!
One of the best parts of this episode was the lack of calling the games "shmups."
Love that music at the end credits. Thats some uplifting hair metal bro!
So glad you covered bio-metal was my favorite when I was little
a bit unrelated have you mentioned Vorpal in your other vids? it a cool shoot em up with a more bare bones style, you and the boss. cool bullet hell game, last time i checked it was on xbox 360 only
Darius doesn't have any slowdown when run on an Snes?! Did Nintendo and Taito jam a Sega Genesis into the cart somehow? ;)
If there are games I hate that's shoot-em-ups, driving games, sport games and [video] pinballs. But I love your videos. That being said TurboGrafx16/PC Engine has some goddamn good overhead shooters that I would even play myself. And I repeat: I hate shooters.
Another great episode guys. I look forward to coming home from work Saturday nights to have your show to watch as I settle down to sleep. Have you done a Genesis Shooterrs Episode.. My favorite Genesis shooter is definitely Gaiares, 2nd Favorite though ridiculously hard is Hellfire... Keep up the great work... Also can you guys do a Genesis RPG episode.. I think the Genny is devilishly overlooked for it's great RPG's that I grew up with
Great video as always. Ending movie was hilarious.
Great episode!
I would love an episode about obscure horror games of the past : )
Great video guys! I would really like an extended version of your theme song. That would be pretty awesome!
