Special 1 Sega Dreamcast VMU

Special 1 Sega Dreamcast VMU

  • 2012-03-15T01:00:00Z30m

This is the exciting commercial for the Sega Dreamcast VMU featured in episode 25 of Game Sack called Portable Videogame Systems.

The awesome opening song from the Sega CD version of Road Avenger. Video and audio captured from a real Genesis + Sega CD unit.

In this tiny episode we take a look at the changes made by the Neo Geo X firmware update. Did it fix everything that was wrong? Watch and find out!

This was originally done as the ending skit for our episode reviewing the Neo Geo X portable system. But here it is as a standalone video to "enjoy" on its own. This took about 3 hours from start to finished edit.

This was featured as the ending skit for the second Game Sack Halloween Special (2012). We shot this in a couple of hours one night in the summer of 2001 and now it's here to "enjoy" on it's own. It's not scary at all but it's slightly unsettling maybe.

Special 6 Fun with the Neo Geo

Special 6 Fun with the Neo Geo

  • 2013-11-19T02:00:00Z30m

Just a fun little video which doesn't take the Neo Geo as stone-cold seriously as some of its fans seem to. I made this in 2010.

This is our panel from Retropalooza where we take questions from the audience. This was really fun for both of us!

Special 9 Sonic Doom

Special 9 Sonic Doom

  • 2014-12-15T02:00:00Z30m

This was part of our Halloween episode in 2013. Shot and edited in less than 36 hours (along with all of the other live-action parts of the episode). The Halloween episodes don't tend to do super well, so here's a stand-alone release for those of you who haven't seen it.

In the most recent episode "Games That Need a Physical Release" we removed several game reviews. One after the episode was released and 3 before it was released. That's because all of these games had physical releases that our research team didn't find. We have since fired all of our researchers and fed them to alligators. We fed a few to crocodiles just to cover all the bases. Anyway now for the first or possibly second time EVER you can watch these reviews online from the extreme comfort of your own current location. Unless you're in jail. You can still watch them, it just won't be comfortable. Enjoy anyway!

Special 11 Shenmue 3!

Special 11 Shenmue 3!

  • 2015-06-17T01:00:00Z30m

Yes, I am a grown man. Back Shenmue 3!

Thanks to everyone who attended the panel. We know that it was overcrowded and not air-conditioned at all. Sticking through it all the way really meant a lot to us. And mega-apologies to those of you who couldn't get in! We addressed the convention multiple times in the months leading up about getting a bigger room and never got a response. Again thank you guys so much for coming to see us and ask us questions.

Special 13 Introducing Final Bosses!

  • 2015-09-02T01:00:00Z30m

The kick-ass new site featuring Game Sack, The Game Chasers, Rerez, Happy Console Gamer, 8-Bit Eric and Alpha Omega Sin. Exclusive content! Screw other websites. They suck. Go over to Final Bosses and bookmark it right now. Delete all of your other bookmarks with prejudice (except for the one to Game Sack's YouTube channel). If it's not on Final Bosses it doesn't deserve to exist.

Do you like video game music? So do we. We REALLY like it. So join us on our new Game Music Sack adventures over at Final Bosses.

This is an example of one of the exclusive series we have over at Final Bosses.

Special 16 Game Sack is Now on Blu-ray!

  • 2015-12-20T02:00:00Z30m

The first volume of Game Sack is now on Blu-ray! First 20 episodes in HD, lots of special features, 5.1 surround sound menus, hidden videos for you to find and REGION FREE (of course).

This time we play the arcade version of Double Dragon from beginning to end using an actual arcade PCB.

I think I'm the only person who has this game. You will not see anyone else talk about this game because nobody knows about it. I'm surely the only one streaming it. This game was released without any fanfare.

Watch as I stream Castlevania Dracula X Rondo of Blood for the TurboGrafx-16 CD/PC Engine Super CD. I found some glitches in the game so bear with me!

I'm also playing my childhood copy of the game! However I am no longer a child. Can I do it? Can I get through the game TWICE on PROFESSIONAL difficulty? Am I powerful enough? I'll try to keep up with the chat this time! + bonus Greendog!

Gonna play these back to back. Probably won't beat 2. Will beat 3. Definitely can't beat 4! Too out of practice!

I am a professional. I only play games that offer a professional mode. Other games are for amateurs unless they specifically offer a professional mode... or at least a "Pro" mode. Also, eat me!

This is one of my favorite games of all time. I will go through on Beginner first just as a warm up. Then on to EXPERT! It's been a while since I've played so I will likely die and probably continue.

Playing this one for the first time since I just picked it up today.... used! I'm joined by AlphaOmegaSin who you either love, kinda like, kinda dislike, hate, are indifferent to, or are not sure who he is.

Here is me editing the MSX episode of Game Sack which was released on March 18 2018. This was originally streamed on January 28 2018. Yes we make these waaaay in advance. This one is pretty casual.

Checking out the Analogue Super Nt FPGA system

Shinobi is one of my favorite arcade games. Let's see how far I can get before it freezes or I run out of credits! I'll try at least twice!

Finally, a video on Youtube showing the CORRECT way to clean your games! If you use any other method other than those described in this video, you're cleaning your games wrong and damaging them!

Episode 1 - Welcome to the reboot of Playing with Sacks! We're going to do our best to deliver a new episode of PWS every Wednesday, released at 12:00am Mountain Time. We have a slightly new editing format compared to the old Final Bosses Playing with Sacks and we feel it works much better. These will only get better so we hope that you enjoy! And don't forget to suggest games you'd like to see on Playing with Sacks!

Episode 2 - For our second episode we tae on one of dave's favorites on the GameBoy, the super-slow Castlevania Adventure. It may be primitive but it's fun and has great music. Can we put an end to Dracula once and for all? Watch to find out!

Episode 3 - This week we play Streets of Rage 2 cooperatively. One of the best sequels to one of the best games of its time and often regarded as the pinnacle of the series. Will we beat it?

Episode 4 - Super Adventure Island was an early release for the Super Nintendo from Hudson Soft and is one of our favorites in the series! So let's give it a good, honest effort today!

Episode 5 - We give Contra III for the Super Nintendo a go, two players simultaneously which can actually make it tougher if one (or both) players does something dumb. Like what? Well, watch and find out!

Episode 6 - We beat the first Castlevania Adventure on GameBoy waaaaaay back in episode 2 if you can remember that far back. Now we take on its FAR superior sequel and have a lot more fun doing it. We think you'll have more fun with this episode as well. Can we beat it?

Episode 7 - We play the two-player mode of Chatting Parodius, aka Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius, aka Parodius ~Forever With Me~ on the Sega Saturn from Konami. This is a really fun shooter that doesn't get talked about (no pun intended) very much and was never released outside of Japan!

Episode 08 - Splatterhouse is super scary! BOO!! Aaaahh!!! Many stuffy parents didn't want their kids playing this one because then they'd worship Satan!!! We sacrifice our eternal souls to play this one for you! We play the more evil PC Engine version since the TurboGrafx version was ever-so-slightly changed.

Episode 9 - Jackie Chan is an amazing person who's been in some amazing movies and he's also the star of this amazing videogame. The NES version is awesome, but this one is that much better!

Episode 10 - We play through Joe's arcade PCB of The Astyanax, which was inspired by The Legendary Axe on the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 and they shared the same designer. This is radically different from the NES game of the same name. Will we have enough quarters to beat this one?

Episode 11 - Boo! That's really the gist of what you do as Polterguy, try to scare people out of the house in this exclusive game for the Sega Genesis. This is a very unique game and we haven't seen much like it anywhere else. So we give it our best here.

Episode 12 - Hardly anyone ever talks about Alien Storm much any more. It's a shame to because it's a great beat-em-up that's even better with two players. Originally a Sega arcade game, it received a decently faithful port to the Genesis in 1991.

Episode 13 - Time for some Magician Lord, one of the few side-scrolling platformers on the console, sadly. Played on the Neo Geo AES with Universe BIOS.

Episode 14 - Revenge of Shinobi is perhaps the best early Genesis game, one of the best games on the console and one of the best ninja games ever. Here we play Joe's copy which is the original version with Batman and Godzilla and other characters that were changed in later revisions of the game.

Episode 15 - The Master System version of this game doesn't get much love, especially from Joe who's all about the Genesis version. But Dave really enjoys this one. Will he be able to convince Joe that it's better than he thinks?

Episode 16 - We take on the NES port of the decently-popular arcade game from Data East and work cooperatively towards a common goal... the elimination of all evil!

This is a throwback episode, originally released for the now-defunct website Final Bosses back in April of '16 so it's pretty rough in comparison with modern episodes of Playing with Sacks. Playing with Sacks originated on Final Bosses on August 31, 2015. This is the only one of the original 13-episode Playing With Sacks run that hasn't been uploaded to YouTube, so here we are! Played on a real arcade PCB.

Special 58 Playing With Sacks - Rastan

  • 2018-12-19T02:00:00Z30m

Episode 17 - Rastan was always a favorite arcade for both of us. Joe bought the arcade PCB a couple of years ago. Watch us do our best, no continues are allowed on the last level!

Episode 18 - We check out the Japanese version of The Adventures of Bayou Billy called Mad City. Konami made some interesting changes, especially to the game's difficulty. But did they go to far when they brought it over to the US?

Special 60 Playing With Sacks - Astal

  • 2019-01-13T02:00:00Z30m

Episode 19 - Astal was a very early 2D platformer for the Saturn with some wonderful graphics. Does the game itself hold up? Watch and find out!

Episode 20 - We're joined by special guest VFX artist Yoshi Vu and he wants us all to play Overcooked together! This is the most modern game we've played yet on Playing with Sacks. Will be be able to overcome the chaos and get people their food?

Episode 21 - Joe, Dave, and Yoshi try out different versions of Paperboy on Sega platforms!

Episode 22 - We're joined by Yoshi one last time to play some competitive Pocket Fighter! The player who loses must hand off the controller to the next person. This was really fun to make and I hope you have fun watching us compete!

Episode 23 - We're playing Windjammers on Joe's Neo Geo MVS. Who will win the most matches in this flying disc masterpiece? Is this just a fancy version of Pong? Doesn't matter because it's an absolute blast with two players!

Episode 24 - This time around we play through a recent homebrew port that was released for the Turbo last year. It's a love letter to many different games on the platform!

Episode 25 - Although it's a sports-based game, this one is actually SUPER fun with multiple players. Watch the weird faces we make as we play that we don't even know we're making! Who will win the decathlon, Joe or Dave?

Episode 26 - It's the last episode of Playing with Sacks for now and what better way to sign off than with a Castlevania game?

Special 68 Game Sack Console Crunch #1

  • 2020-02-10T02:00:00Z30m

Here's something new I'd like to try, taking a nod from Cinemassacre who does similar things to great success with AVGN seasons. I want to offer more of these types of videos in the future with console episodes and other themes episodes, while keeping them at or around the 3 hours or so. What would you like to see? Or do you hate this idea with every fiber of your being? Timestamps: TurboGrafx-16 episode 1 - 0:00 TurboGrafx-16 episode 2 - 13:56 Pioneer LaserActive - 56:07 Nintendo Gamecube - 1:13:00 Sega Dreamcast - 1:35:10 Nintendo 64 episode 1 - 2:02:14 Nintendo 64 episode 2 - 2:27:40

Episode 27 - Surprise Playing with Sacks episode! We really wanted to play Xeno Crisis on the Genesis on Youtube as we both love the game so naturally an episode of Playing with Sacks makes sense. This one's also available on pretty much every modern platform as well with more voices 'n stuff (though we haven't played those versions).

Now that segment has been reworked and re-edited (for the better, in my opinion) and the entire world can see it. We'll be back next week with an all-new episode!

Of course, some are just bad games, period. We're ready for that THUMBS DOWN button to catch on fire once everyone hears of a certain series we don't want to mention on the show.

The GameCube as a system was a really overlooked and under-regarded by the mass gaming public in its time. Here we take a look at some of the exclusives you may have missed. NOTE: We should have had Super Mario Sunshine in this video, at least in the montage. We had covered it a couple of times before so that's why it's not in here. But still, it should be.

We've covered games that were wrongfully left in Japan before, but what about games that should have stayed in Japan? Everything from Japan can't be awesome and some of it can be downright horrible.

These can get quite heavy! YouTube also seems to have issues with the smooth motion on computers that aren't very new. *Only one game was shown and only briefly, Devil World, a reproduction cart for the NES. It was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto and is the only one of his games never to be released in the USA.

It's finally time to talk about some of the games that were never released outside of Europe and the PAL region. You might be surprised at how good some of the games are! What are some other ones that would be interesting for us to try?... That is if we can get them running. Games Shown: NES - Noah's Ark Sega Master System - Asterix, Running Battle Mega Drive - The Second Samurai SNES - Asterix, Hanna-Barbera Turbo Toons, Jelly Boy, Super Dany Nintendo 64 - Taz Express PlayStation 2 - Masters of the Universe: He-Man Defender of Grayskull *The First Samurai (SNES) and Asterix and the Great Rescue (Genesis) make very brief appearances. *Jelly Boy is not related in any way to Jelly Boy 2 which was reviewed in our "Unreleased Games" episode. *No game insert scenes in this episode.

1x111 Console Modding

  • 2014-07-20T01:00:00Z30m

Ever want to fix your broken systems or maybe add something that wasn't originally there? It's your console, you have a right to do that. Our friend Bill mods 2 consoles while chatting with Joe. *In this episode a Turbo Duo has all of its capacitors replaced. It also has s-video added as well as RCA audio jacks on the back so that it is not necessary to use the DIN jack which is inconveniently mounted on the side of the console. Also a Genesis model 2 has its sound circuitry redone with a "Mega Amp" as well as the addition of s-video and RCA jacks on the back. *First appearance of Joe and Dave's friend Bill who is a wizard at repairing and modifying electronics. *This episode was shot over 3 different nights at Bill's and we had to make sure we kept wearing the same shirts. The night of replacing the Turbo Duo's capacitors and adding s-video approached 10 hours alone. *Dave has a job where he must wake up early and Bill is a night owl so Dave could not attend. So in the episode it was decided to just leave Dave sitting back in the Game Sack studio the entire time for comic effect. Dave and Bill do know each other, however.

1x112 Fanboys Forced to Switch Sides

  • 2014-08-03T01:00:00Z30m

Joe and Dave assign each other games to review. Are they trying to get the other to see their rival system in a new light or will they just give them bad games to punish them? *There was another ending shot featuring both Joe and Dave that took 5 different takes, but it was scrapped in favor of the current Chakan stop-motion story as it was not as entertaining. The YouTube video thumbnail was taken from this scrapped ending. *First episode where Dave records Genesis gameplay on his own. He used the Genesis model 2 that was modified in the previous episode. *Joe had to loan Dave his Sega CD to record Robo Aleste because the capacitors in his unit were starting to fail, causing very noticeable audio problems.

There are games that do more than you'd think possible on the consoles they run on. These are some of those games. Which games do you think push consoles or handhelds to their limits? Games Shown: NES - Cosmic Epsilon, Sesame Street Countdown, Recca: Summer Carnival '92, Batman: Return of the Joker Genesis - Red Zone, Mega Turrican, Alien Soldier SNES - Street Fighter Alpha 2 Game Boy Color - Shantae Saturn - Street Fighter Zero 3 PlayStation - Gran Turismo 2 *Red Zone, Mega Turrican, Alien Soldier and Street Fighter Zero 3 were recorded with an RGB connection. Everything else was recorded using S-video. *Dave had one of the most difficult times he's had recording his dialog for the gameplay segments. There were many different takes for each line and it resulted in nearly 45 minutes of recorded VO.

1x115 Regional Differences

  • 2014-09-14T01:00:00Z30m

Ever wonder how different the game you're playing is in another country? Every wonder WHY they made the changes that they did? One thing's for sure, changes are fascinating and sometimes baffling. *The Adventures of Bayou Billy/Mad City was to be included, but Dave chose Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon instead as gameplay footage had already been recorded. *A few examples of regional differences in Splatterhouse were also mentioned in the Gaming on Halloween 3 episode and are reiterated here.

1x116 Videogames Based on Movies

  • 2014-09-28T01:00:00Z30m

Some movies get novelizations, comic book adaptations and of course videogames based on their premise. How do they hold up? Well let's take a look at some of them! Star Wars Arcade (32X), Jedi Power Battles (Dreamcast) and Rogue Leader (GameCube) make brief appearances in the Star Wars segment, *Shot in Plano, Texas on the evening of September 20, 2014 just after the Retropalooza convention had ended for the day and only hours after we gave our first panel ever! This might explain why we look so tired. *Shot in the Film-Tech screening room. This room can run 8mm, 16mm, 35mm and 70mm film in mono, stereo, surround, magnetic audio, unmarried prints, Dolby Digital, DTS, and SDDS sound formats via changeovers or platter. Also supported is DCP content via a Christie digital cinema projector. The speakers are QSC 4-way with bass shading so it sounds incredible as well. Game Sack refuses to use any other auditorium or screening room. *Joe messed up and forgot to switch the power on for the shotgun mic so we had to use the backup on-camera mic from the Canon 6D for the audio since there was no time to reshoot or ADR the dialog.

1x117 Same Name, Different Game 2

  • 2014-10-12T01:00:00Z30m

1x119 Sequels That Changed the Game

  • 2014-11-09T02:00:00Z30m

1x121 Giving Games a Second Chance

  • 2014-12-07T02:00:00Z30m

By the way, I hate spelling "Odyssey"… I always want to spell it as Oddessy or something like that. *The tip Joe gives Dave in the ending skit is a real tip. The switches need to be perfect and the side switch often likes to pivot in a way which will not let the system power on.

1x128 Games with Female Protagonists

  • 2015-03-15T01:00:00Z30m

Do you feel like less of a man when you play a game starring a girl? Or perhaps it fulfills some desires? Or maybe it doesn't make a bit of difference whatsoever! Let's take a quick look at some games with the fairer sex in the leading role. Games Shown: Sega Master System - Phantasy Star Genesis - Monster World IV, Valis 3 SNES - Super Metroid Nintendo 64 - Perfect Dark, Mischief Makers PlayStation 2 - Tomb Raider Anniversary, Space Channel 5: Part 2 PlayStation 3 - Heavenly Sword PlayStation 4 - Alien Isolation *Syd of Valis (Genesis) appears briefly in the Valis 3 segment. *The ending sketch originally went on for a bit longer back and forth between Joe and Dave, but it ended up being cut as it just worked better as it is, super short. *First time we've covered a PS4 game! *Joe bought Alien Isolation just to cover in this episode. Good thing he ended up liking it!

  • 2015-03-29T01:00:00Z30m

Another interesting system that never left Japan! The NEC PC-FX was the sequel to the TurboGrafx-16 also known as the PC Engine. This system is definitely odd. Would you ever want one of these?

It wasn't very well done or entertaining, so Joe made a new ending with the stop motion animation.

Like many other companies, SNK tried to take on the Game Boy in the late 90's with this interesting handheld. It didn't last long but it was pretty cool while it was around. So let's look at the system and a bunch of games for it! Games Shown: Metal Slug 1st Mission, Metal Slug 2nd Mission, Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure, King of Fighters R-1, King of Fighters R-2, Dark Arms: Beast Buster 1999, Samurai Shodown, Samurai Shodown 2, Rockman: Battle and Fighters, The Last Blade, The Match of the Millennium: SNK vs Capcom, Neo Turf Masters, Baseball Stars Color, Dynamite Slugger, Pocket Tennis Color, Fatal Fury First Contact, SNK Gals Fighters, Cardfighters' Clash: SNK vs Capcom SNK version, Cardfighters 2 Expand Edition, Biomotor Unitron, Faselei!, Pac-Man, Bust-A-Move Pocket, Puyo Pop, Magical Drop Pocket, Puzzle Link, Puzzle Link 2, Big Bang Pro Wrestling, Cool Boarders Pocket, Evolution: Eternal Dungeons, Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams *Most games in this episode were played on the Neo Pop emulator running on Joe's ancient Windows XP machine. The VGA output was recorded into the Mac Pro for capture. This PC died about 80% of the way through gameplay capture, so Joe's friend Bill whom was seen in the Console Modding episode (#111) whipped together a similarly powered PC for Joe to finish capturing gameplay with. Finally a few pick-up scenes were captured with Joe's Mac Pro running Windows 8 via emulation and that running Neo Pop. The screen capture application in the Mac OS captured the footage. This was done only for the minigames in The Match of the Millennium. *Joe's Neo Geo Pocket Color screen all but died and Dave's handheld had to be used for the on-camera shots where the screen is shown running.

Urban Trial Freestyle will appear in a future episode. *The ending skit was shot at Dave's house in a timespan of about 45 minutes.

1x134 Unlicensed Games

  • 2015-06-07T01:00:00Z30m

Most consoles require you to obtain an official license to produce games for it and to meet certain quality standards. Not every publisher is willing to do that. So let's take a look at some of the games that were released without the license. Games Shown: NES - Camerica Quattro Adventure and Quattro Arcade, Chiller, Bubble Bath Babes, Tetris (Tengen), Fantasy Zone (Tengen), Shinobi, After Burner, Alien Syndrome, Bee 52, Toobin' Genesis - Barver Battle Saga, V.R. Fighter vs Taken 2, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Sonic Jam 6, Lion King 2, Lion King 3, Shui Hu Feng Yun Zhuan *Bubble Bath Babes' bodacious tits are censored with a banner reading "U R NOT E" and the E is red. So it reads as "You are not ready". This was one of the early marketing slogans Sony used for the original PlayStation console in the US. We were going to originally leave them uncovered, but we didn't want to be responsible for millions of sticky computer monitors and we thought the banner was funny. So hopefully it gave you a few hours' worth of hearty laughter.

As a result Dave had to re-record the game footage. Who would make a Wii game in 480i only? SNK Playmore that's who. But this was an early title in the Wii's life. *Joe bought Namco Museum Virtual Arcade just for this episode. He planned on covering the series on the original PlayStation but he only had the first disc.

Screw them nonetheless. *Joe initially didn't want to show Mario Kart 7 or Mario Kart DS. Dave insisted that they be there so Joe had to capture the footage. This is a difficult process and Joe will have his revenge.

Sometimes we just can't figure how to fit certain games into an episode. Well here are some of those games! Guest starring Pat Kilbane as the Humor Coach. Games Shown: NES - Mega Man, Whomp 'Em Game Boy - Gargoyle's Quest Genesis - McDonald's Treasureland Adventure PlayStation - Loaded PlayStation 2 - Downhill Domination PlayStation 3 - Demon's Souls, Urban Trial Freestyle, Dragon's Crown Wii - Muramasa - The Demon Blade PC - Ys Origin *Shot simultaneously with the Gaming Compilations episode.

Some games that don't get released outside of Japan just aren't very playable to us English-speaking folk. But some dedicated bilingual fans have fixed that for us.
