What games do you feel make a console or platform look significantly weaker than it really is?

11:27 “welcome to georgia” but her shirt says “phoenix, az” lol

Thumbs up for that F-16 skit alone. Move over Rex Vyper! 😂🍻

Console ports of Doom? At this rate, you're going to summon Uncle Derek.

"The Japanese version of Doom runs better" - I think this came from someone who was playing the PAL version which I can only imagine is naturally worse than NTSC versions.

I have been trying to get hold of the people that made hooters road trip for ages but nobody wants to talk about it... No idea why

I died when the announcer saying "Woah! Hardcore!" sounded exactly the same as when Joe said it.

The Sega Saturn port of Doom really is a tragedy. I hope that the old prototype resurfaces anytime in the near future.

The best part about F-16 Fighting Falcon is that it's SO powerful, not even the SEGA Genesis Power Base Converter has enough power to play it!

14:10 "picture yourself actually liking baseball" lmao that's pretty tough.

Funny story... When I was roughly 8 - 10 one of my brother's "friends" pretended to lose one of his master system games when they stayed the night and then stole our copy of F-16 Fighter as compensation.

I hope John Carmacks tombstone reads "The guy responsible for the Saturn version of Doom"

You. Those two controllers. That skit. My week has been made. Thank you.

One thing's for sure, I can never get enough of Joe's loud voice whenever he advertises bad games that makes them worth playing! XD

You know, I've been happily watching Game Sack for years, but finally just subscribed thanks to Joe yelling over F16 Fighting Falcon.

Best way of starting the day....new Sack.

Please keep making GameSack. I have been watching you since I was a teenager, I'm a full adult now. I know it's been thru some ups and downs, but this is my favorite channel on youtube :)

Interesting story with how the 3DO version came about. The developer who created it, Rebecca Heineman, shares the story of its nightmare development on her channel. Very crazy story!

That F-16 voice over had me LMFAO!!!! One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. 😂😄😜😅😆

Powerslave on the Saturn 🪐 is a perfect example on how it can run a DOOM Clone at high a frame rate.

Today is a sad day, the creator of your favourite game of all times “greendog” just died :(

that F-16 Fighting Falcon ad was so hardcore it melted my face off.

SNK NEO GEO tech explainer coming (with regard to RIDING HERO): For all the excellent stuff the machine can do it has a big flaw when compared to every single console from the NES and Master System up to the Saturn and almost every arcade of that period: The NEO GEO has ONLY sprites to draw the screen. A LOT of HUGE sprites. This would not be a problem in most cases as instead of background tiles you just move sprites. However you cannot really do RASTER effects with sprites. The classic 8 bit and 16 bit ROAD effect (Out run, hang on, or even the floor in Street Fighter 2) is done by moving the background at a different pace for every scanline. However this appears to be something very tricky to achieve with sprites (the ones in the NEO GEO are thin and tall, as tall as the whole screen height). Riding Hero and that nice Golf game are the only NG games even attempting this and it is obvious that the approach is different.

@16:18 OMG the guy knocking himself out when he hits the wall was hilarious.

“Picture yourself loving baseball.” Hold on. I have a good imagination but not THAT good

F-16 Fighting Falcon is so powerful that not even the Genesis/Mega Drive Power Base converter can handle its raw power!

Joe, I know you've said that so and so went to the school of voice acting from Game Sack but I will say, the mega power voice makes me want to hear you commentate a wrestlemania

Jaguar Doom is one of the best and programmed by the mighty Carmack himself. It really puts the Saturn and 3DO versions to shame.

Seeing an SMS cover grid supersized and in a Neo-Geo case made me laugh more than it should have.

That F-16 game segment cracked me up so much 🤣🤣🤣 Hope Joe didn’t destroy his throat while recording 😅

Runner touched the base before your third baseman bent down to tag him. SAFE!

Man, Ashita no Joe is one of the best manga ever. That game hurts my soul.

I do hope one day that someone will release an optimised Doom port for the Sega Saturn so we can see for real what the Saturn was capable of with Doom. Shame in hindsight Lobotomy Software didn't handle the conversion and id Software wasn't told to reverse course on their decision to not use a custom engine. While Doom was a slideshow, Lobotomy managed to port Quake, a game that was considered impossible for the Saturn to handle, to the console.

12:18 Joe turns into Mike Stoklasa from RedLetterMedia... 😂

Game Sack somehow captures my nostalgia better than any other retro channel for me (Sega Lord X as well). Joe is just a nice honest host.

... Welcome to Georgia, wearing Phoenix shirt, double eye wink.... q u a l i t y

So glad to hear that VIRTUAL HYDLIDE voice again!

Digital Foundry did a segment on DOOM Saturn for it's DFRetro Doom segment. Saturn Doom runs from about 11-23 FPS. They ran the Japanese and NTSC version through a framemeister and there was no discernable difference between the versions.

Anything that kicks off with music from Quartet rules in my book.

I like how the guy in the truck @ 30:47 just sits in there and doesn't even move while you thrash his vehicle to the point of it looking like he got into a bad accident :D

The knockoff brand names in Mike Piazza's Strike Zone were hilarious. AT-AT and Office Deorts

You really do have a great voice for 80’s toy commercials

I only watched about 40% of this video as F16 FIGHTING FALCON melted my eyeballs.

@15:35 - That's not a collision detection issue. In that situation the rules of baseball require the runner to be tagged with the glove/ball...tagging the base isn't sufficient. Why? If the previous base is unoccupied the runner has the option to return to the other base. If the previous base is occupied the runner has no where else to go so the base can be tagged.

Actually A LOT of games make the Saturn seem underpowered because most devs didn't know how to program for it's second processor and hence couldn't even achieve transparency effects...check out the Saturn port of Symphony of the Night for example.

Games that make the console look weak: pretty much every Unity Indie game that looks terrible while still managing to have frame drops

True story: the actual F-16 is controlled using two Sega Master System controllers.

I can only watch maybe 5 minutes of this episodes of GameSack at one time because of how grating the graphics and sound of these games are.

16:12 I wasn't expecting the bounce against the wall! Thank you for including that 😂

The Hooters game handles like that because before the race you drank like 3 pitchers of beer and ate about 10 pounds of hot chicken wings. So you're constantly shitting yourself while drunk driving.

i'm watching game sack for about 5 years and now i strongly starting to suspect that Joe enjoys plays video games...

F16 fighting falcon is so powerful it turns you into Alex Jones!

Been binging on all your videos past and present while I play breath of the wild. Keep it up, Joe! 👍🏻

3:12 Lmao. Carmack is a Greendog fan

Damn, Joe went hard on that F-16 Fighting Falcon game lol

29:24 I laughed hard at him stuck behind the truck and then the AI just passes right through it like it's nothing.

Love the show, and I'm glad it's still going. Much respect for the consistency and years of entertainment!

If only SNK had pulled a HOOTERS on the Neo Geo CD loading screen... Hey, a man can dream, can't he?

My friend's dad actually made a dual-controller holder out of wood for F-16 FIGHTING FALCON. It worked surprisingly well.

What's funny is you're right in that ironic F-16 Fighting Falcon segment. The audio WILL light your ears on fire.

Honestly a lot of the Saturn’s library can go here, it’s kinda unfortunate

It would be nice if someone would actually release a disc image of that mythical Doom port for the Saturn. Actually, that might be a good episode idea, unreleased games we'd like to see someday.

I remember Joe saying the Saturn was a 2D monster when programmed well. What a shame that developers were more interested in making sub par, 3D cash cows back in the day. It’s kinda ironic that things have gone full circle and people are more interested in retro 2D games nowadays. A LOT of PS1 games haven’t aged well at all, yet timeless, 2D SNES games have.

U r the best gaming retro channel man... Never stop

9:28 my cousin and I used to pretend the 2nd controller was a vitally important part of the game where I'd yell "countermeasures!" And he'd press the button

15:39, he was safe, there was no force play at 3rd and the 3rd baseman clear tagged him late. You dont get an out for stepping on a base on a non-force play.

Yes another Game Sack, favourite gaming vids on KZfaq.

The players in mike piazza's first strike zone walk like they're all pinching a loaf lolz!

am i crazy or is the lighting really nice in this episode?

I just woke up and now having breakfast. Great video to wake up to new Sack

Love love love the quartet music remix at the start of the vid

Zoomed in graphics in the Neo Geo didn't pixelate because the console actually zoomed out graphics. The real size was the biggest, the normal size was a scaled down version

Now I know what why my toaster was talking smack to the 3DO and Saturn this morning.

Have a suggestion for a future episode, how about bad games that have really good soundtracks. Thinking about how games from Ocean Software often have better music than the game itself, thought it would be a good topic for you to talk about.

I remember NFL Quarterback club for the N64, that game actually made use of the expansion pack. Which helped make the helmets look very shiny and the extra memory helped the player models.

The 3DO version of Doom was developed by only 1 person & the music was rearranged by the programmer's friends who were currently in a Garage Band.

Shadow: War of Succession also tells you to finish your opponent if you win, but they didn't include any finishing moves.

The world needs broken pixels back, I could only imagine what sean baby would say now lol.

Learned to love this channel for its auditory meditative trudge thru games.

I was laughing so hard I couldn't even breathe during the whole F-16 Fighting Falcon segment. It reminded me so much of the classic Power Thirst bit. Dunno if that's what you were channeling, but you absolutely knocked it out of the park with that whole section. Bravo!

5:52 - This band is at the wrong gig.

28:37 when you bring your date into the bedroom for the first time

Your drunk impression had me laughing 😂

That wall collision sound at 16:20 is the best!!!

Bubsy bubsy bubsy busy bobcaaaaaaaaaaaat... 3D

Hooters girl: Hi! Welcome to Georgia! Shitty southern accent while wearing an Airizona shirt. 🙄

11:27 that complete failure to wink never fails to slay me

Fresh morning sack is the best.

I think you're a legend of success, Joe.

Wasn´t that second "hooter chick" the one on the "Playboy mansion reality show"??., does anybody still remembers that Hugh Hefner reality show where he had 3 girls that were his girlfriends or something?., man even 2000´s stuff are too old for this age

Check out those production values at 11:26. Hooters Girl welcomes you to Georgia but is wearing a shirt from Hooters in Phoenix, Arizona.

Hooters Road Trip should be a competitive eSport.

Anyone else also have a hankerin' for some F-16 Fighting Falcon now?

Man I really want to play F-16 on the master system now! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!! >

Every single episode he makes is a total masterpiece. Always entertaining, so much effort and love clearly goes into these. Always be sure and watch after the credits people! Thank you for sharing your talents and efforts with us.

about the cancelled doom port running on the first engine, it could be wonderfull for preservation that some of the developers will share with us a video or a build of it running on saturn. it will be very good for all the community and educational purpose.

The Neo Geo seemed like a Genesis on steroids back in the day

Without Dave the episodes are very Sega heavy.

3DO version was ported in 10 weeks time by only ONE PERSON! The soundtrack is quite excellent though compared to most console ports which don't even HAVE music...the music was done by one other person, apparently these were the only two people who actually worked on the game.

11:26 - I love that everyone who talks about Hooters Road Trip uses THAT clip, but never makes mention that it's Holly Madison from The Girls Next Door.
