Did you guys know Slash (from Guns N' Roses) was paid by Data East to write a song about pinball on the 1995 Slash's Snakepit album "It's 5 O'clock somewhere"? The song is called "Be the Ball" and it rocks. Slash is a huge fan of pinball and even helped design the official Guns N' Roses pinball machine which was also made by Data East!

It's a shame that Paon doesn't own the rights to Bad Dudes. A vast majority of Data East's IPs got bought by some mobile phone company, Bad Dudes being one of them. They also got Joe and Mac too, which means we can kiss the thought of an HD Joe and Mac remake goodbye. :C They did get Glory of Heracles, though. Now it's technically a co-Nintendo IP.

Hearing the name "Data East" always conjures great memories. I spent a lot of time playing Karate Champ in the mid and late 1980s. Side Pocket was the coolest billiards game around for awhile. Bloody Woof... errr... Wolf was one of the first TurboGrafx-16 games that my younger brother got after getting the console for Christmas in 1989. I spent lots of quarters on Data East's Lethal Weapon 3 pinball machine at my local bowling alley in the mid 1990s, and the Jurassic Park pinball machine always caught my attention. I've been looking to track down the Data East Arcade Classics disc, which came out for the Wii back in 2010. I'm a fan of coin-op compilations, and this disc has many of the notables on it. It's sad, though, that Karate Champ never got a re-release before Data East folded; having two analog sticks as standard on controllers would have finally done the game justice, as opposed to the awful controls that plagued the PC and NES ports of the game. Happy holidays to the Game Sack team, and to your families and loved ones. Thanks for providing hours of entertainment this past year. I'm looking forward to seeing what 2015 brings.

Boogie Wings is a true classic, I remember being floored at how fun and inventive it was after hearing about it on Left in the Arcade. The vehicle switching and grabbing stuff with the plane's hook are both mechanics that could have been a game in themselves, but Data East really went the extra mile. In fact, it almost feels like there's TOO MUCH content in the game sometimes but that's what keeps me playing it to this day.

I love this. One of your most creative and thought out episodes yet! It's not often Data East gets mentioned these days, so it's cool seeing an episode like this. I'll also add, Data East is the creator of that Road Avenger LaserDisc game you guys love a lot. Fun fact: Did you know that Data East's NES home ports were actually done by SAS Sakata? I'm surprised you mentioned a few games in passing without going into them. Bump 'n Jump is most notable to me, particularly the very well done NES remake (published by Vic Tokai in the US, also called Buggy Popper in Japan). I also know you guys are not into the pre-NES consoles, but there are a number of worthwhile games. Even if they are simple arcade-like games, many are worth taking a quick look at on the Atari 2600, Intellivision, ColecoVision and others, including those by Data East. Here are some other games you might wanna check out: B-Wings/Battle Wings - Arcade, Famicom Donald Land - Famicom BreakThru - Arcade, NES Cobra Command - LaserDisc Arcade, Sega CD Cobra Command - Arcade, NES Mission X - Arcade, Intellivision Super BurgerTime - Arcade BurgerTime - Atari 2600, Intellivision, ColecoVision Lock 'n Chase - Atari 2600, Intellivision Werewolf: The Last Warrior - NES Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory - Arcade Explorer - Arcade Disco No. 1 - Arcade

Game Sack is such a bad ass channel. I look forward to watching every episode because they have a found an excellent formula that works. I like how they separate each episode into categories, many of which are unique and interesting. The video and sound quality is great and the gameplay footage for each game gives it a professional feel. They don't go over board with the humor, just straight to the point with the games. I like that. I also appreciate the length of each episode as they are often well over 20 minutes, sometimes past the 30 minute mark which is great to sit down and watch while you eat and meal or during a smoke session. Plus they both are good friends so they have natural chemistry that comes across well. Another solid episode.

BurgerTime is one of my favorite games of all time! I think I first played it on an Intellivision and I immediately loved it. I wish a company like Atari would make a microconsole with an emphasis republishing new versions of older arcade games like Burger Time, Bump N Jump, Toobin', Millipede, PaperBoy,etc. which include HD graphics, surround sound, online multiplayer, simple controls, and NO 3D polygon graphics. Basically, I want something like the originals with new levels, better graphics and better sound. I really dislke long intros and cut scenes. I'm sure I'm in the minority there, but really, I just want to get on with the game. I don't need to watch a 5 minute, really boring and poorly acted scene between every level in every game. I think publishers started including them as a way to fool people into believing their games had better graphics because those scenes were often pre-rendered or had simplified backgrounds so it was easier to do things with the characters that was impossible during regular game play. I will grant a free pass to Pac Man, however, as those cut scenes are really short and seem to be intended to let your hand rest in a game without pause. And I love Pac Man. LOL.

Oh man, THANKS for mentioning High Seas Havoc! I remember discovering that game on an emulator as a kid and was reminded of it with this video. Now the only platform hidden gem still missing from my memory is one on the SNES that featured some kind of "human-looking" rodent dressed in blue kind of like the protagonist from Harvest Moon. I think he had a cape that he could hide in or something?

It's neat to see hitoshi sakimoto worked so closely with DE it seems, thank you for the tidbits! I'll be checking these soundtracks out.

Check out Gauntlet IV. It wasn't from Data East, but Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata composed it. Sakimoto-san was probably the best at working the soundchip on the Genesis and made the best music on it.

I will be seeking out the two Neo-Geo games you mentioned in this episode. The Game Sack is pretty deep as there are still games i should know about but dont. Thank you again for producing such an excellent show.

OMG I LOVE DATA EAST!, Joe & Mac was my first true love on the SNES, one of my brothers friends had it and i always asked him to bring it over!

Going through the different developers is a great choice of direction and could provide material for a long time.
