A game I constantly replay is a game no one I know has ever heard of, but it's such an awesome Genesis game. It's called Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude. If you've never played it, you're REALLY missing out. And that's a major bummer dude.
Mr. RetroLust I really wouldn't call it a hidden gem tbh,it's not an awful game but it's by no means a good game it's as average as you can get,there's a reason none of FaceRips mates have never heard of the game & that's because the game is anonymous in its averageness it's as bland as they come,it's the colour beige n digital format.
Mr. RetroLust nothing wrong with Bubsy nothing great either but it's an alright game & I sank many an hour into it as a teenager,as long as you're not talking about Bubsy 3D NOONE likes that game not even the games Mam likes that game lol. I remember my brother bringing it home all excited since he was a fan of the MegaDrive version & thinking the 32bit 3D version would be amazing,oh the look on his face lol.
Mr. RetroLust or even worse than the Holiday Special the Last Damned Jedi,Rose Pico was a worse character than Chewbaccas demented son Lumpy lol. JK JK but LJ was pretty goddamned bad huh that Holiday Special & Bubsy 3D need killing with fire & erasing from history.
One of the things I love about Game Sack is Dave's evolution as a host, like how in the first episodes he was a bit shy in front of the camera and nowadays he's just STYLING on all of us, rocking that Golden Axe shirt of his and confident as all hell. Better watch out Joe, or Game Sack will soon become Dave's Sa- wait no
there's something i don't like about this type of comment. i mean, how do you get in front of a team and start saying member A is better than member B? dunno, but definitely this is not about politeness. just look at their work, it's just great and this seems to be a little too distracting of what really matters here. i'm sorry
gc8972b Ah, that last part was just a joke, I just wanted to cram in a scrotum pun somewhere. Both Dave and Joe are equally important as part of the show!
Love you two. Thanks for the throwbacks. I'm 27, but I love the oldies you guys have given me tons of new games to try. Idk how you don't have 1 million yet. Been here a year
The only game I replay at least once a year is Castlevania SotN. Not because of the few different endings. It's not hard or anything. It's just so damn good.
Matthew MacDonald Agreed and I feel the same way. I think that the huge number of items, weapons, and abilities help with the replayability. So many different ways to play.
Black Tiger (arcade) is my main squeeze when I want to chill with a classic. The game doesn't get the recognition it deserves as it never had console ports for 8 & 16 bit machines. A forgotten Capcom classic.
Holammer as a child i vividly remember playing black tiger on the nes that i rented from my local video store. It was pretty intact, but stripped down from the arcade. I can remember the sound effect of the chain and knives flailing, and it sounding very off. I dont know if it was a bootleg or demo or what but i’ve never been able to find it again. I live in BC Canada, and it has to be somewhere.
It got 8 and 16-bit ports in Europe, courtesy of US Gold. C64, Amstrad CPC, Spectrum, Atari ST and Amiga. I have the Amiga version somewhere, though it's not my cup of tea.
Same here, Black Tiger is one of Capcom‘s finests. If you want to enjoy it on a home console, play Son Son II on PC-Engine, cause that‘s basically a reskinned version and even more fun imo.
You guys make some of the best TH-cam content ever. My family always had your videos on autoplay. You have certainly got us through hard times as well! Thank you!
That stupid jump at the end makes me want to scream everytime I play the game. I fall through it more times than I ever make it across. I HATE THAT PIT!
Great episode! I really like to pick up Gunstar Heroes from time to time. The fact that you can select shooting mode, weapons and stages gives a lot of replayability.
Best version IMO. Once u accrued master level skills no amount of beginners luck could sway the outcome of races. My favourite challenge is turning small on the character select screen and trying to beat the game small. Got as far as 100cc star cup but just couldn’t manage gold while staying small 😢
I play trough DuckTales on the NES at least once a month. It's always just as fun and it only takes 10-15 minutes to get trough the entire game. If I want something slightly longer I usually go for QuackShot on the Mega Drive or Rescue Rangers on the NES. Yes, I really love old-school Disney games.
The one game I found myself replaying from start to end every couple years is Ys Book I&II for the Turbo CD. For my quick fix, my go to game is Shubibinman 3 as I could usually clear it in 20 minutes. It's terribly easy but super charming.
Surly you are referring Frankenstein as in 'Dr Frankenstein' and Frankenstein's Monster? Dracula was a Transylvanian Count.....unless this is a cheeky joke of course!

You know after watching your videos for years...i just want to say thank you. Thank you for the excellent content, informative information, child friendly channel. Thank you for putting the time and effort into your videos and the production value shows. Thank you dave, especially, my daughter is autistic and ever since she was born id hold her ever so gingerly as i would be fiddling around my computer and as i did i would you guys on. Anyway, as i said my daughter is autistic and loves video games as so do i. Anyway, she stopped playing her 3ds and when i asked, "why?" Her reply, "video games are for nerds and boys." Then i told her of you and how your daughter plays games, and when she heard that and even watched the video...it put the biggest smile on her face and now she not only plays games but want to be a game designer, she wants to be the first female video game creator. Anyway thank you Dave for showing her games can be for girls to and as such should just be enjoyed by everybody. JOE, DAVE, YOU HAVE EARNED THE RESPECT OF A FAN AND SUBSCRIBER. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND AS AKWAYS BE AWESOME!
I'm happy that Dave talked about the Master System version of Castle of Illusion, this version really needs to be more talked by other reviewers and gamers.
I'll go with that it's in my top 3 go to games just behind Wild Guns & Metal Slug. 20,000 games on my Raspberry Pi & most of the time I stick to those 3 lol. Though I have found an awesome shooter on the SNES but for the life of me I can't Thor its name.
I'm catching up with some content I haven't watched and although it is a late comment, I love how chillout and confident (in front of camera) you have become.
Love the sound editing in this episode, awesome! For me, Wave Race 64, StarFox or Starfox64, F-zero on the snes and Soul Calibur on the DC are my qick grab games. Never get tired of those :)
Encouraged by this video, I just played Ghouls n Ghosts for the first time. On practice mode, I couldn't even get past the first part of the second level. This game is BRUTAL.
Legendary axe making it's legendary 800th gamesack appearance. Great editing this episode, great episode. Also wtf is wrong with Dave he's become a horny old man.
I'm probably a bit of a weirdo, but the game I always come back to, and have replayed more than any other, is Solstice on the NES. It's not just a vehicle for an amazing Tim Follin soundtrack -- it's a really top-notch isometric puzzle platformer, too! And while it has a reputation for being "impossible," I guess it's for me what Ghouls 'n Ghosts is for you: a nice, easy, relaxing game to play through. I can usually beat it, beginning to end, in about 45 minutes (if it's been a while since I last played) or even 30 minutes (if it hasn't), and I always have a great time doing it. The castle is super well-designed, and it's always fun to try to challenge myself to take alternate routes to where I need to go. I've often said Solstice is my #1 favorite NES game, and I still stand by that. My other favorite NES game is another great pick-up-and-play for me, and that's Goonies II. I can't get enough of that one! It really is the best Metroidvania on the NES, IMHO, even including Metroid. It's just so fun, and the music is so catchy! And my OTHER other favorite NES game is YET ANOTHER great pick-up-and-play, and that's Legacy of the Wizard -- though in that game's case, I actually prefer the MSX2 version, as it has a better-designed map, better item placement, and some additional painting warps that allow you to COMPLETELY skip the father's section of the dungeon if you're good enough (which is great, because his section is EASILY the least fun to play!). And speaking of the MSX, there's a recent MSX game I picked up that's just ridiculously fun, and I can't stop playing it whenever I have a few minutes to spare, and that's... Jackie Chan in: The Protector! Its graphics are kind of bad (though charming in their own way), and the controls are stiff, but the game is nonetheless a really fun single-screen puzzle platformer -- sort of like Bubble Bobble, but with Jackie Chan throwing punches and kicks, bouncing on trampolines, climbing up ledges, swinging on hooks, and dodging all manner of knives, bullets, grenades, and even attack choppers once you get past screen 16. Each screen can typically be beaten in under a minute (some in about 20 seconds once you figure them out!), and it's incredibly fun to challenge yourself and see how far you can get this time. My record is screen 21... so far!
Goonies II? Interesting choice... I used to play the original as a kid, but never got around to the second one (despite picking it up several years ago). At first glance, it comes across as a Goonies game with weird point-and-click adventure elements shoehorned in, but maybe it deserves a better chance.
Where do you live that you played the original? Because it was never released outside of Japan, at least for the NES -- unless you had a PlayChoice-10 machine in an arcade near you or something. But yeah, Goonies II is aces. The best way to describe it would be two superbly designed Metroidvania maps that exist back-to-back, with first-person view adventure game rooms sandwiched between them. So if you want to cross from the "front" of the game world to the "back," you have to go through a door and navigate one of the adventure areas -- and most of the items you need to complete your quest can be found inside these adventure areas as well, so it pays to explore them very thoroughly. The game gets flak sometimes for being a little obtuse, as it often depends on you randomly smacking walls or ceilings in the adventure segments -- either with your fist or with a hammer -- in order to reveal hidden doors. But a lot of games did that sort of thing back then -- I mean, look at Zelda 1, which expected you to bomb every smooth wall or burn every bush to find secrets. Goonies II was much more forgiving, since you could punch a wall pretty much anywhere in order to trigger the door hidden on it to show up -- so you'd maybe have 3 or 4 blank walls to try punching on every screen, and then that was it. 10 or so seconds of inconvenience, then you move on... and more often than not, you'd find SOMETHING by punching those walls anyway (there were secrets EVERYWHERE in that game!), so you would rarely feel like you were wasting your time. The only truly obtuse moment in the game was finding the candle, as that one required you to punch a random old woman NPC three times, ignoring her objections each time, until she finally just dropped the candle to make you go away. Not sure how anyone was ever supposed to figure that out without being a terrible person. ;)
Being a terrible person... or just finding it funny when someone says "Ouch! What do you do?". I live in Canada, but our video game market is pretty much identical to the US's. Not sure if we got Goonies 1 in arcades, but my uncle had a 110-in-1 bootleg cartridge for his NES: made for NTSC-U consoles, but packed with Japanese ROMs. As a result, I grew up with plenty of games that might seem strange or unknown to most North Americans, including TwinBee, Musashi no Ken, Devil World, Ninja-Kun, and a version of Ice Climbers where you club seals instead of furballs!
Oh, that's pretty cool! Sounds like you grew up right, if you ask me. ;) Goonies 1 on NES is a great game as well. Come to think of it... I don't think I've ever played a bad Goonies game! There are a BUNCH of Goonies games out there, and every one of them has been a lot of fun. That's one licensed property that's really always been done well, IMHO. My dream is for the franchise to get resurrected, though, by somebody like WayForward. Can you imagine how amazing a Goonies 3 would be from those guys? I would preorder the CRAP out of that! ;)
Too bad the movie's 30th anniversary already came and went. I guess there's always the 35th? I wasn't aware that there were other Goonies games (besides maybe some ports of the NES game or something), but a WayForward sequel sounds pretty cool. Oh, wait, they'd probably get virt (Jake Kaufman) to do a totally rad '80s soundtrack for it, a la Double Dragon Neon. That sounds downright awesome!
"Oddly" indeed. I just said "Super Monkey Ball" to a guy once, and he curled up into the fetal position and started rocking back and forth! Seems that he found the game to be somehow distressing or frustrating... (True story, by the way.)
I played Super Mario Kart seemingly thousands of times back in the day with my brother and my best friend. I've never played a game with more MASSIVE replayability.
Couldn't agree more about the blue shell in Mario Kart. Having played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe recently, I can say that items like the blue shell, the lightning bolt, the bullet bill, are all kinda of bullshit items designed so that the crappier players can win, sometimes at the last second. Yes, I know there are some ways to dodge these items. Some people even hang back to purposely get those items and smuggle them to the front and use them at the last second. To me, it makes the game kinda not worth playing for the long run because you know there's no real point in trying to get good at the game, you can't, you're just gonna get hit by the blue shell anyway.
ThatBoy Toni nah the blue shell is fine. It stops anyone from getting too ahead, if you're good it doesn't matter if you get hit by one, you can still win.
Might just be Nostalgia for me, But there are a few games I still play a bunch even though I have beaten them a bunch. Those being - Lion King on SNES - Battletoads Battle Maniacs - Banjo Kazooi & Banjo Tooi - Earthworm Jim 2 - Congos Caper - Super Castlevania 4 - Castlevania Dracula X - Donkey Country 1 & 2 - Pacman World (original xbox) - Megaman X series - Super Mario World - Goof Troop on SNES and Looney Toon Adventures on SNES............. Yes I am a big Super Nintendo Fan :p lol
The solitary reason why I keep coming back to this channel, is the great taste and choice in the games featured. Many of my favorites and several new favorites always seem to show up here. I would have also chosen Wendy: Every Witch Way, great little game.
Shadow Dancer was a good recommendation. I played through it yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I will definitely get back to it from time to time. Please make a new episode about short but fun games or games with massive replayability in the near future. That would be awesome! I mean, even more awesome than your videos usually are anyway ^^
How are sports games not mentioned? We still have game sessions with Arch Rivals, Blades of Steel, Tecmo Super Bowl, NBA Jam and NFL 2K5. As far as other games: Pac Man Super Mario Bros. 3 Metroid Resident Evil 2 & Code Veronica Super Castlevania 4 Comix Zone Nights into dreams WaveRace 64
Good ole TH-cam. It won't show in my subscription list and when I go to your channel page, the last upload is 5 days ago. Good thing I saw the link on Facebook.
Sonic games are very replayable to me due of how fast paced the levels are (there are some exceptions in the series, of course), and you can finish them even quicker once you know your way around the stages. Sonic Advance 2 for example, you can fall to your death a lot in that game, but once you're used to the levels you can blast trough the stages at the speed of sound. (Advance 2 is damn fast!)
Ah! So Dave's been selling them all on ebay! That explains it! Some of my favorite games to pick up and play are Mickey Mania, Buster's Hidden Treasure, Battletoads, Borderlands, Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash, MGS3, Final Fantasy IX, and I'm sure there's a few more I can't think of.
I thought this was gonna be about games where you get to do different things in each time you play but... I guess this works as well... I don't think I've ever played the MD version of Ghouls and Ghosts, only the SuperGrafx and X68000 versions... Oh and that Wendy GBC game looks pretty great! I'm gonna have to give it a try! Personally, my most replayed games in recent memory have been Hatsune Miku Project Mirai DX on the 3DS and K-ON Houkago Live on the PSP, they're both rhythm games so I can just pick any of the available songs I want to play and have a blast for a couple of minutes, but of course, a single song is hardly enough to satisfy me, so I usually end up playing 20 or more songs before I'm satisfied, or heck, even replaying the same song more than once! In which case Houkago Live allows me to pick a different instrument so that I can play something different even if it's still the same song, and Project Mirai often allows me to swap out the character singing the song for another one, that way the songs won't get stale even if I replay them over and over... Other than these two I also like to replay Final Fight 3 a whole lot, it's not too hard but it's not too easy either, but what's so great about the game is that it's got branching paths so you can get to play through different stages each time you play it! There are even some shortcuts to discover... The game has TONS of destructible environments, which is rather impressive for a 16 bit beat'em up, in fact, I can't even think of any other 16 bit beat'em up with destructible environments! And what's great about them is that they're what will influence what path you'll be taking throughout the game, so you know, not only are they neat to look at, but they have a bearing on the gameplay! Final Fight 3 is not only my favourite game in the series, it's my favourite beat'em up, and it also has my favourite soundtrack in any Capcom game ever, heck, the soundtrack is half the reason why I replay that game so much! Other games I replay a whole lot are fighting games, these are often quite short, you just gotta beat every other character in order to finish the game, or not even that depending on the game... Some of the fighters I replay a whole lot are Street Fighter II (of course) and Gundam Wing Endless Duel on the SNES, Super Street Fighter IV on the 3DS, King of Fighters EX2 on the GBA, and the Asuka 120% series on the X68000, PC engine and PlayStation...
Super Metroid for me. Once you learn where everything is, you can play through it with 100% items in less than two hours pretty easily. The controls and level design are great, and the gameplay never gets boring no matter how many times I play it. Just a brilliantly designed game.
WarioWare and Phoenix Wright are currently my two "quick-fix" games of choice. Just enough variety and replay value that I can sit down for a few minutes to an hour and not feel bored at the end. Fantastic!
Okay, i may get some hate for this, but i think this episode very misleading, in my point of view games with replayability are those with many things to collect, post ending content like new areas or new difficulty, games that encourage to finish faster and better or games with fun multiplayer so far only mario kart and Golden axe for me applies, other examples would be: Resident Evil, donkey kong country, bomberman, Parasite Eve 2, chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Tactics and many more. Fighting, puzzle and sports don't aplly. So don't get me wrong, great vid as always, but i feel more like the title is "games we enjoy to play again"
You got it wrong what he means by "replayability", There are games that you love so much that you can play forever, regardless of collectables or not, Like for me is Final Fight and Double Dragon I, I can play them over and over again.
Psycho Surfer - yes i understand, but that category can be nearly as any game existent, since is a matter of preference, and beat'n ups have generally replayability since are fun co op, like the golden axe mentioned or streets of rage alike
Right off the bat, I know we're in for a good time. Some of my favorites are the Road Rash series, Streets of Rage 2, Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure, Quackshot, Super Mario World, Super Smash TV, Donkey Kong Country, Turtles in Time, Batman on NES, Super Mario Bros 3

Then i told her of you and how your daughter plays games, and when she heard that and even watched the video...it put the biggest smile on her face and now she not only plays games but want to be a game designer, she wants to be the first female video game creator. Anyway thank you Dave for showing her games can be for girls to and as such should just be enjoyed by everybody. JOE, DAVE, YOU HAVE EARNED THE RESPECT OF A FAN AND SUBSCRIBER. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND AS AKWAYS BE AWESOME!
I'm happy that Dave talked about the Master System version of Castle of Illusion, this version really needs to be more talked by other reviewers and gamers.
One of my favorite things is waking up on Saturday with a cup of coffee and watching a few vids. Thanks!
Definitely my quick fix is going back to replay Streets of Rage 2 with my go to Axel and abuse the hell out of his Grand Uppa!!!
YES!!! And stages 7 and 8 on mania are so fun! Tho nowadays i turn to Streets of rage remake v5.1 for my Streets of rage 2 fix.
I'll go with that it's in my top 3 go to games just behind Wild Guns & Metal Slug. 20,000 games on my Raspberry Pi & most of the time I stick to those 3 lol. Though I have found an awesome shooter on the SNES but for the life of me I can't Thor its name.
I think you mean Grand PaPaa
The changes in edition and your acting skills made this episode one of the best ever.
Hm, wondering if the music selection in this episode as opposed to the games' native audio is an attempt to avoid copyright claims
The best classic gaming videos on youtube hands down. Good job guys!
Nothing like a fresh sack!
MrChadsimoneaux lol
lol
I'm catching up with some content I haven't watched and although it is a late comment, I love how chillout and confident (in front of camera) you have become.
Love the sound editing in this episode, awesome! For me, Wave Race 64, StarFox or Starfox64, F-zero on the snes and Soul Calibur on the DC are my qick grab games. Never get tired of those :)
Encouraged by this video, I just played Ghouls n Ghosts for the first time. On practice mode, I couldn't even get past the first part of the second level. This game is BRUTAL.
Legendary axe making it's legendary 800th gamesack appearance. Great editing this episode, great episode.
Also wtf is wrong with Dave he's become a horny old man.
Okay. The scanlines on the zoomed in gameplay shots is a brilliant idea. Kudos to ever came up with that and the scrolling too. Good Jorb!
I'm probably a bit of a weirdo, but the game I always come back to, and have replayed more than any other, is Solstice on the NES. It's not just a vehicle for an amazing Tim Follin soundtrack -- it's a really top-notch isometric puzzle platformer, too! And while it has a reputation for being "impossible," I guess it's for me what Ghouls 'n Ghosts is for you: a nice, easy, relaxing game to play through. I can usually beat it, beginning to end, in about 45 minutes (if it's been a while since I last played) or even 30 minutes (if it hasn't), and I always have a great time doing it. The castle is super well-designed, and it's always fun to try to challenge myself to take alternate routes to where I need to go. I've often said Solstice is my #1 favorite NES game, and I still stand by that.
My other favorite NES game is another great pick-up-and-play for me, and that's Goonies II. I can't get enough of that one! It really is the best Metroidvania on the NES, IMHO, even including Metroid. It's just so fun, and the music is so catchy!
And my OTHER other favorite NES game is YET ANOTHER great pick-up-and-play, and that's Legacy of the Wizard -- though in that game's case, I actually prefer the MSX2 version, as it has a better-designed map, better item placement, and some additional painting warps that allow you to COMPLETELY skip the father's section of the dungeon if you're good enough (which is great, because his section is EASILY the least fun to play!).
And speaking of the MSX, there's a recent MSX game I picked up that's just ridiculously fun, and I can't stop playing it whenever I have a few minutes to spare, and that's... Jackie Chan in: The Protector! Its graphics are kind of bad (though charming in their own way), and the controls are stiff, but the game is nonetheless a really fun single-screen puzzle platformer -- sort of like Bubble Bobble, but with Jackie Chan throwing punches and kicks, bouncing on trampolines, climbing up ledges, swinging on hooks, and dodging all manner of knives, bullets, grenades, and even attack choppers once you get past screen 16. Each screen can typically be beaten in under a minute (some in about 20 seconds once you figure them out!), and it's incredibly fun to challenge yourself and see how far you can get this time. My record is screen 21... so far!
Goonies II? Interesting choice... I used to play the original as a kid, but never got around to the second one (despite picking it up several years ago). At first glance, it comes across as a Goonies game with weird point-and-click adventure elements shoehorned in, but maybe it deserves a better chance.
Where do you live that you played the original? Because it was never released outside of Japan, at least for the NES -- unless you had a PlayChoice-10 machine in an arcade near you or something.
But yeah, Goonies II is aces. The best way to describe it would be two superbly designed Metroidvania maps that exist back-to-back, with first-person view adventure game rooms sandwiched between them. So if you want to cross from the "front" of the game world to the "back," you have to go through a door and navigate one of the adventure areas -- and most of the items you need to complete your quest can be found inside these adventure areas as well, so it pays to explore them very thoroughly.
The game gets flak sometimes for being a little obtuse, as it often depends on you randomly smacking walls or ceilings in the adventure segments -- either with your fist or with a hammer -- in order to reveal hidden doors. But a lot of games did that sort of thing back then -- I mean, look at Zelda 1, which expected you to bomb every smooth wall or burn every bush to find secrets. Goonies II was much more forgiving, since you could punch a wall pretty much anywhere in order to trigger the door hidden on it to show up -- so you'd maybe have 3 or 4 blank walls to try punching on every screen, and then that was it. 10 or so seconds of inconvenience, then you move on... and more often than not, you'd find SOMETHING by punching those walls anyway (there were secrets EVERYWHERE in that game!), so you would rarely feel like you were wasting your time.
The only truly obtuse moment in the game was finding the candle, as that one required you to punch a random old woman NPC three times, ignoring her objections each time, until she finally just dropped the candle to make you go away. Not sure how anyone was ever supposed to figure that out without being a terrible person. ;)
Being a terrible person... or just finding it funny when someone says "Ouch! What do you do?".
I live in Canada, but our video game market is pretty much identical to the US's. Not sure if we got Goonies 1 in arcades, but my uncle had a 110-in-1 bootleg cartridge for his NES: made for NTSC-U consoles, but packed with Japanese ROMs. As a result, I grew up with plenty of games that might seem strange or unknown to most North Americans, including TwinBee, Musashi no Ken, Devil World, Ninja-Kun, and a version of Ice Climbers where you club seals instead of furballs!
Oh, that's pretty cool! Sounds like you grew up right, if you ask me. ;) Goonies 1 on NES is a great game as well. Come to think of it... I don't think I've ever played a bad Goonies game! There are a BUNCH of Goonies games out there, and every one of them has been a lot of fun. That's one licensed property that's really always been done well, IMHO.
My dream is for the franchise to get resurrected, though, by somebody like WayForward. Can you imagine how amazing a Goonies 3 would be from those guys? I would preorder the CRAP out of that! ;)
Too bad the movie's 30th anniversary already came and went. I guess there's always the 35th?
I wasn't aware that there were other Goonies games (besides maybe some ports of the NES game or something), but a WayForward sequel sounds pretty cool. Oh, wait, they'd probably get virt (Jake Kaufman) to do a totally rad '80s soundtrack for it, a la Double Dragon Neon. That sounds downright awesome!
Never changes, guys. I love your show.
I like to do an occasional run-through of Expert to Master Extra in Super Monkey Ball 2. It's oddly calming.
"Oddly" indeed.
I just said "Super Monkey Ball" to a guy once, and he curled up into the fetal position and started rocking back and forth! Seems that he found the game to be somehow distressing or frustrating... (True story, by the way.)
Episode 221? Damn. I didn't realise you've been going that long!
Good work as usual!
Games with massive replayability?
Tetris
PollyGlodd Gameboy AND NES!
I keep a copy of Tetris on my phone in case I literally have nothing else to do
Gameboy Tetris after breakfast and NES Tetris after diner!
You can't replay Tetris. You just keep playing it. It never ends.
This was quality Game Sack content. Thanks Joe and Dave!
I’ll usually pop in Donkey Kong Country 2 and play through the whole thing in a couple of hours.
Crazy Taxi's always good for a quick blast every now and then.
Gosh darn it your guys' videos are top tier.
I played Super Mario Kart seemingly thousands of times back in the day with my brother and my best friend. I've never played a game with more MASSIVE replayability.
Couldn't agree more about the blue shell in Mario Kart. Having played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe recently, I can say that items like the blue shell, the lightning bolt, the bullet bill, are all kinda of bullshit items designed so that the crappier players can win, sometimes at the last second. Yes, I know there are some ways to dodge these items. Some people even hang back to purposely get those items and smuggle them to the front and use them at the last second. To me, it makes the game kinda not worth playing for the long run because you know there's no real point in trying to get good at the game, you can't, you're just gonna get hit by the blue shell anyway.
ThatBoy Toni nah the blue shell is fine. It stops anyone from getting too ahead, if you're good it doesn't matter if you get hit by one, you can still win.
Joe's looking slim an trim I see. Joe...you fucking Gazelle😂!
You both rock 🤘🏽
I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 wiv extra dip. A number 7, two number forty-fives--one wiv cheese, and a large soda.
oogrooq "All you had to do was follow the damn train!"
oogrooq lol, I've probably beat GTA:SA about 10 times on PS2, PC, and 360.
Gunstar Heroes is always my quick fix when I'm not grinding for trophies.
Holy Sega Saturn the editing is superb , game sack always gets better each episode
Just rewatched this episode. I miss ol’ Dave. Wonder how he’s doing?
That Wendy game reminds me a lot of Metal Storm on the NES. Really have to check it out.
I thought the same thing: with the gravity-reversal thing
Might just be Nostalgia for me, But there are a few games I still play a bunch even though I have beaten them a bunch. Those being - Lion King on SNES - Battletoads Battle Maniacs - Banjo Kazooi & Banjo Tooi - Earthworm Jim 2 - Congos Caper - Super Castlevania 4 - Castlevania Dracula X - Donkey Country 1 & 2 - Pacman World (original xbox) - Megaman X series - Super Mario World - Goof Troop on SNES and Looney Toon Adventures on SNES............. Yes I am a big Super Nintendo Fan :p lol
Super Star Soldier on the Turbo has a 5 minute mode and this is addicting.
I gotta go with Baseball Stars on NES here. I play this nearly every night. Picked it up for $5 - totally got my money’s worth.
Abort mission, gamesack have uploaded a new video.
The solitary reason why I keep coming back to this channel, is the great taste and choice in the games featured. Many of my favorites and several new favorites always seem to show up here. I would have also chosen Wendy: Every Witch Way, great little game.
I can't believe you guys didn't mention OutRun! ;)
Also, as usual, the Japanese Shadow Dancer box art is incredible.
Out Run is a good one!
Daves family had power in their cabin in the woods for him to play his nes on?
Crazy Taxi for me and Streets of Rage 2!
I play these games often: Air Zonk, Blazing Lazers, Spriggan, Hero Tonma, Parasol Stars...Contra...and my Robocop Arcade unit...
Original Crysis and Warhead, Sonic 3 & Knuckles. More or less
Shadow Dancer was a good recommendation. I played through it yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I will definitely get back to it from time to time. Please make a new episode about short but fun games or games with massive replayability in the near future. That would be awesome! I mean, even more awesome than your videos usually are anyway ^^
what I look forward to in life
Michael Gomez sad but true
How are sports games not mentioned? We still have game sessions with Arch Rivals, Blades of Steel, Tecmo Super Bowl, NBA Jam and NFL 2K5.
As far as other games:
Pac Man
Super Mario Bros. 3
Metroid
Resident Evil 2 & Code Veronica
Super Castlevania 4
Comix Zone
Nights into dreams
WaveRace 64
Good ole TH-cam. It won't show in my subscription list and when I go to your channel page, the last upload is 5 days ago. Good thing I saw the link on Facebook.
It's been too long since I last watched Game Sack. Great to see you're still rolling! I'm back to stay!
Sonic games are very replayable to me due of how fast paced the levels are (there are some exceptions in the series, of course), and you can finish them even quicker once you know your way around the stages.
Sonic Advance 2 for example, you can fall to your death a lot in that game, but once you're used to the levels you can blast trough the stages at the speed of sound. (Advance 2 is damn fast!)
Ah! So Dave's been selling them all on ebay! That explains it!
Some of my favorite games to pick up and play are Mickey Mania, Buster's Hidden Treasure, Battletoads, Borderlands, Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash, MGS3, Final Fantasy IX, and I'm sure there's a few more I can't think of.
Daytona on the 360 is one of mine.
0:29 I've waited YEARS for an actual joke on this channel. And finally Not Joe managed one. Well done that guy. 9/10
I thought this was gonna be about games where you get to do different things in each time you play but... I guess this works as well...
I don't think I've ever played the MD version of Ghouls and Ghosts, only the SuperGrafx and X68000 versions...
Oh and that Wendy GBC game looks pretty great! I'm gonna have to give it a try!
Personally, my most replayed games in recent memory have been Hatsune Miku Project Mirai DX on the 3DS and K-ON Houkago Live on the PSP, they're both rhythm games so I can just pick any of the available songs I want to play and have a blast for a couple of minutes, but of course, a single song is hardly enough to satisfy me, so I usually end up playing 20 or more songs before I'm satisfied, or heck, even replaying the same song more than once! In which case Houkago Live allows me to pick a different instrument so that I can play something different even if it's still the same song, and Project Mirai often allows me to swap out the character singing the song for another one, that way the songs won't get stale even if I replay them over and over...
Other than these two I also like to replay Final Fight 3 a whole lot, it's not too hard but it's not too easy either, but what's so great about the game is that it's got branching paths so you can get to play through different stages each time you play it! There are even some shortcuts to discover... The game has TONS of destructible environments, which is rather impressive for a 16 bit beat'em up, in fact, I can't even think of any other 16 bit beat'em up with destructible environments! And what's great about them is that they're what will influence what path you'll be taking throughout the game, so you know, not only are they neat to look at, but they have a bearing on the gameplay!
Final Fight 3 is not only my favourite game in the series, it's my favourite beat'em up, and it also has my favourite soundtrack in any Capcom game ever, heck, the soundtrack is half the reason why I replay that game so much!
Other games I replay a whole lot are fighting games, these are often quite short, you just gotta beat every other character in order to finish the game, or not even that depending on the game... Some of the fighters I replay a whole lot are Street Fighter II (of course) and Gundam Wing Endless Duel on the SNES, Super Street Fighter IV on the 3DS, King of Fighters EX2 on the GBA, and the Asuka 120% series on the X68000, PC engine and PlayStation...
Super Metroid for me. Once you learn where everything is, you can play through it with 100% items in less than two hours pretty easily. The controls and level design are great, and the gameplay never gets boring no matter how many times I play it. Just a brilliantly designed game.
I had Legendary Axe 2 when I was a kid, the music and graphics freaked me out but I really liked playing it at night
This deserves a part 2! Or it deserves to be it's own series!
I Always Love To Beat Mega Man Everytime
Same here. NES Mega Man games are my comfort food of games.
But grammar seems to beat you every time.
Even though those episodes are new, its still makes me feel like im back in the 90s,
Love watching those on my CRT ❤
Coming soon to Game sack games with NO replay ability!
Now they can finally review Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival!
Dave did in their recent "The best and the worst" video.
E.T. for Atari should be at the very top of that list.
NickBLeaveIt Oh right, he did, I remember now. Well, that just completely ruins my joke. 😞
WarioWare and Phoenix Wright are currently my two "quick-fix" games of choice. Just enough variety and replay value that I can sit down for a few minutes to an hour and not feel bored at the end. Fantastic!
Okay, i may get some hate for this, but i think this episode very misleading, in my point of view games with replayability are those with many things to collect, post ending content like new areas or new difficulty, games that encourage to finish faster and better or games with fun multiplayer
so far only mario kart and Golden axe for me applies, other examples would be:
Resident Evil, donkey kong country, bomberman, Parasite Eve 2, chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Tactics and many more.
Fighting, puzzle and sports don't aplly.
So don't get me wrong, great vid as always, but i feel more like the title is "games we enjoy to play again"
You got it wrong what he means by "replayability", There are games that you love so much that you can play forever, regardless of collectables or not, Like for me is Final Fight and Double Dragon I, I can play them over and over again.
Psycho Surfer - yes i understand, but that category can be nearly as any game existent, since is a matter of preference, and beat'n ups have generally replayability since are fun co op, like the golden axe mentioned or streets of rage alike
Right off the bat, I know we're in for a good time.
Some of my favorites are the Road Rash series, Streets of Rage 2, Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure, Quackshot, Super Mario World, Super Smash TV, Donkey Kong Country, Turtles in Time, Batman on NES, Super Mario Bros 3
IDK why but i always find myself replaying dragon age origins. like 2 a year i make a new character and play for hours
Well it's still the best entry in that whole series, so I can't blame ya ;)
Poison Dude! Back in the day, EA was.. um they did.. well they're not as shit as they are today.
"Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow", here. I just don´t get tired replaying that game. Awesome video of yours!
Unsubbing because no Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum
I barely even know what that is, so I'm unsubbing from you for not educating me about it.
I love the Castle of Illusion on SMS too. Excellent game.
Alright WHO is the girl in the "XXX" poster???!?!?!?
Brilliant, being a new subscriber I'm completely hooked on Game Sack. No bullshit just GAMES!
