Here I am late for work, watching a 9yr old episode of game sack. Yea life is pretty good. 😃 thanks Dave and Joe.

2012: "I hope Shaq's career suffered some" 2019: Shaq literally on every other commercial on tv.

All developers should use Shigeru Miyamoto's philosophy "If you make a game that you enjoy yourself, then people will also enjoy it"

Those were stills taken from another site. We don't actually have every version of Shaq-Fu. That would be the reason. So all I can say is NOT OUR FAULT! Usually we use real systems and games to record our visuals so usually the side-by-sides are 100% accurate.

Best silent film I've ever seen at the end there. Seriously though, you guys did a fantastic job with that! It looks really authentic! I'd love to see you guys do more comedic skits in that style in the future.

"Sega's answer to Donkey Kong Country" was some idiot trolling Wikipedia, and was removed years ago.

I really liked how you guys could review these terrible games while still pointing out a few of the good things... it seems like most KZfaqrs who review bad games simply point out all the bad things and swear a ton about how shitty it is (it gets old fast), but you guys can do more legitimate reviews while pointing out the pros and (mostly) cons. Seriously, do more of these videos! (Yes I know there's a second)

13:38 - Oh, so that's how you get that D. That could have saved James Rolfe, A.K.A. the Angry Video Game Nerd a lot of frustration in his review of the game.

Didn't wash? I'm more concerned that he didn't wipe.

Well at a "sad point in my life" I actually enjoyed playing Shaqfu with my family. My favorite character was that red beast...well, his name I just saw is just Beast.

You think the Genesis version of Pit-Fighter is bad? Take a look at the SNES version. The SNES version is EVEN WORSE. While the Genesis version is better than the SNES version, Pit-Fighter is still a bad game regardless. When Mortal Kombat was released, this game became obsolete almost instantly. In other words, it got worse with age.

I'm just now going back through Game Sack again and just got to this episode. Rise of the Robots is the first game that came to mind. To this day, I STILL have not figured out how to do one special move. Maybe there are none....

I remember thinking Pit Fighter looked impressive when I first saw it in Arcades. I remember it being the first game I saw that used real people as a controllable character.

Double Dragon III for the Genesis belongs in this list.

As a computer game, Tongue of the Fatman was actually kind of fun, and had a somewhat better implementation of the betting and weapons system. Even at the time it was a bit primitive in the actual fighting system though, so it's an odd choice for a console port. We do take a lot of the progress post- SFII for granted though, as back then the basics were still being figured out.

The "poles" that kept hitting you on the 4th and final level in the train, are actually poles that had a length of wood over the train, well just to the side of it. Back in those days, they used to fill a bag full of mail and hang it out the window, and the bag would grab on the hook and local post offices would ride out and get them. It's even in the cartoon movie, "Fievel Goes West".

The SNES versions of Shaq-Fu and Pit Fighter are MUCH worse than the Genesis ones. Shaq-Fu is missing characters and Pit Fighter looks like super-deformed vomit.

Thanks! These days we're usually using the Canon 5D Mark 2 almost exclusively. We generally use 17-35mm L, 35mm L and 50mm L lenses.

About 15-20 years ago I remember seeing a webpage where someone had made it their mission to buy up every copy of Shaq-Fu they could find just so they could keep people from being exposed to the terrible game. Not sure if they succeeded...

Classic line: " I guess it's a good game if you got it as a gift with no reciept and no other games to play." I've been there with game rentals I regretted renting and ruined my whole weekend.

The SNES version of Pit Fighter was much worse than the Genesis version.

Lol! Have the AVGN on next time as a special guest. He'll take a dump on those bad games for you! lol

I still remember when pit-fighter just apear in arcade, and then in the genesis, people when mad about this game, for real, it lasted until Mortal Kombat I, this was the MK ancestor in some way, time flies....

That "Lord of the Rings" game sounds like an early MMORPG, without the M, M, or O. Or the fun.

Pit FIghter on Genesis was not that bad. But for SNES...

This should be followed up by "Really Good Games!". You guys do a great job of making the games you like look cool. Hell, I bought a Gamecube just because you sold me so well on Super Monkey Ball.

Ahh the days of 16 bit shovel ware...

Here's my least favorite games from each generation (not counting the 1st one) 2nd gen: ET the Extra Terrestrial- Atari 2600 3rd gen: Ghostbusters- NES and Master System 4th gen: Action 52- NES and Genesis 5th gen: a tie between Bubsy 3D(PlaySation) and Superman 64(N64) 6th gen: Big Rigs Over the Road Racing(PC) If not that game, then Mega Man X7(PS2) 7th gen: Sonic 06- PS3 and XB360 8th gen (current gen): Rambo the video game- XB360 and PS3

The lack of Bubsy 3D is disturbing. Seriously; that's arguably the worst crap I've ever put into a video game console period.

Mortal Kombat I was a gimmick.. The series really started to getting good with MKII

You make me remember about a game I used to love. Interplay's LOTR vol 1 for the pc. I spent MONTHS playing that game, and I finally beat it. It's a totally unfair game, the puzzles are impossible... But damn it's fun. Being able to explore Moria and find all its secrets is amazing. It must be my favorite lotr game. Vol 2 suck though :(

The absolute worst game I have ever played was Ultraman for the SNES. I could not even get past the first boss as a kid. Needless to say it went back to the store.

DId anyone else notice the Impossamole title at 3:15 is a complete copy of the Indiana Jones logo?

I love how Shaq Fu was the best game on the list. How can you honestly dislike the plot? One of the best ideas for a fighting game ever. Bought it just so I can own a fighting game centering around Shaq.

You guys are great, love rewatching all your old episodes.

We need bad games! Why? Simple: If these games never were made. Other almost as bad games would be the worse kind, and we would say the same thing about them: Wish they never were made. Then the games almost as bad as them would be the worst kind... and so on and so forth... In the end we would only have Games. Not bad games, nor good games. Just... Games. Nothing more. Bland grey and kinda boring. Nothing new. They're all the same. TL;DR -version: We need bad games so the good games can be just that: Good.

how could you leave off Superman for the N64???

Just binge watching ur videos to kill time and didn't expect much from this episode because of its title, but have to say... Thx for the cool game music which I fell in luv with without even playing it, and of course i mean Turn It Up!!

"i like the movies!" "thats nice joe..." lol

I have to disagree with you guys on Darkwing Duck & Nightmare Circus, I own both physical copies.Darkwing Duck is a bad game, but not as bad as you guys make it out to be. You have to hold down when you want to jump over enemies, you have to stop moving the character as soon as you jump on a platform. It really isn't that hard at all and I beat the game in both Easy and Normal within an hour. You can shoot the boss and they can still lose health.Nightmare Circus is a very cryptic game, you keep on pressing the same damn button over and over again. Idk if you're trying to be funny but that it just downright annoying. The roar is used for finish the boss and take its ability. You can climb the ladder, you press up, it's not that hard. Press down and do the rear kick on the cannon. Avoid engaging the zombies as much as possible, use the spin kick twice to beat them. As for the stage where you see the two dolls, you don't fight them, you have to break down the wall by doing a spinning elbow attack and it gets monotonous.

Also that Darkwing Duck game pissed me off to no end, I was so damn excited at the prospect of another Darkwing Duck game....unfortunately got a pile of shit instead. The game makes borderline no damn sense :\

Darkwing crouching before he jumps is a good example of counter-movement, which is vital in animation. But, yeah, you DON'T really want it in a video game...

I actually beat Back to the Future 3 as a kid. It gets even harder after the first level. It just sucks, and there's no pay-off except that you can finally turn off your Genesis knowing you'll never EVER play it again. And I'm pretty sure that "Nightmare Circus is Sega's answer to Donkey Kong Country" is just plain wrong. No, that would be Vector Man.

17:40 And that is why you shouldn't trust Wikipedia.

Wow, I had Darkwing Duck and had none of those problems. Maybe i had a fixed version or maybe there is something wrong with your game. Also, the 'jewels' are gas canisters for your gun.The different colors do different things, i.e. stun v. kill enemies.

in the cut scene where the guys are headbanging to queen it looks like garth is taking bites out of the steering wheel lmao

Holy crap there's a Master System version? Now I've GOTTA try that. Something tells me I shouldn't, but that's not gonna stop me.

Why so many Genesis/Mega Drive games? also I have played Bubsy 3D, and I can conclude that it is the worst game ever produced. I've literally separated it from my other PSone games so the evil doesn't spread.

4:04 Just noticed in Shaq Fu, Shaq goes to down town Tokyo but the scenery is Chinese

"are you Serious Sam?" i loled

Back to the future 3 was a great movie. Better than 2 and really inventive how they reinvented the original concept of juxtaposing eras, and showing how the more things change, the more the stay the same.

Woah Dave's back. Guys I found Dave.

For any AVGN fan. He got the "D" at 13:38. Wanna know what it does? Absolutely nothing.

Impossibmole was never a mascot. The games originated on the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 before a time of mascots and all of the games were classics on the Spectrum through a mixture of addictive game play and just the sheer fun!

Sega's answer to dkc is actually Vectorman

brings tears to my ears lol

What music did they use for the credits to this video?

Actually, Monty Mole (from Impossamole) was created about 7 years before Sonic. Plus, Impossamole was released on the Amiga about a year before Sonic was introduced. If anything, this is one of the first attempts to create an animal mascot!

Couldn't stop laughing at that belch/roar in nightmare circus

Monty on the run, an original Monty mole game was just as impossible to finish if you picked the wrong 3 items right at the beginning of the games as you couldn't escape without having specific items. Genius.

It's not my least favorite, but I really didn't enjoy Assassin's Creed III.

In the current world where you can have reviews at your fingertips, I make sure I don't play any bad games. Though I played my share before the days of the internet.

You don't need to change a thing, guys. I discovered your channel about 3 days ago, watched about 1/3 of your videos so far, and I'm enjoying them all.

Legend has it that Dave was high on life in this episode

All bad games I can think of... Superman 64 Pacman Atari 2600 ET Bubsy 3d That stupid trucker game for PC Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Double Dragon 2 remake for Xbox 360 Total Recall Fist of the North Star for the NES Lester the Unlikely Dennis the Menace

5. Superman 64 4. Pac-Man on Atari 2600 3. Sonic Lost World/ Sonic 06 2. Busby 3D 1. Every First Person Shooter except PVZ Garden Warfare

The extended edition of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is awesome. It feels like way more of an adventure than just bullet points.

Years ago, I owned Shaq-Fu on SNES and Sega Genesis. Now I regret buying them.

so waynes world was purposely bad maybe to be funny

Leave the bad game reviews to: The Angry Videogame Nerd

somehow watching Darkwing Duck made me think about hotel Transylvania for the 3ds; they share many of the same glitches, but instead of dying while you do nothing, you shoot while standing on a platform, then you plummet because the platform kept moving while you shoot, yet you froze in mid air

I love the info you guys have, but the pre-scripted back and forth "banter" is kinda bad. lol Im no good at videos, but I would suggest to loosen up and say the scripted stuff like you would in real life just hanging out.

667th comment. Be gone, devil! Wow, you clicked show more, congrats! Well, let's see if people start a religion flamewar.

I remember owning a copy of that Waynes world game when I was around 10 years old. That would have been 20 years ago and I waa innocent of the fact that games can be broken. I persisted and beat the first stage in a few hours but sensed it would be madness to continue putting up with the frustration for untold many more levels.

On the train level in BttF part 3, you need to pick them up in order, starting with black. The problem is that that roof that rod is on is also colored black, and it blends in so well that you probably walked right past it.

I never get tired of that awesome intro music ^^

That new ending is so much better, also leaves more Segafans!

You guys have earned a new subscriber.

Yup! Same developers (Vic Tokai) did both. And also Magcal Hats and Decapattack. Decapattack is my favorite version of Kid Kool. :)

I kept Fantasia on the Megadrive - if I stare at it for enough years maybe it'll eventually catch fire. Thanks for another fun episode :)

this is a game I'd seen in 711 in the early 90's and be like damn it looks so good!

Not only did Dave forget to wash his hands, he's forgot to wipe! Both very important steps when dropping a deuce.

THE ENDING WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! LOL

The developers of back to the future III were a company called "Probe Software Ltd". They were based in the UK. Acclaim took them over and now most of the original staff still work for a sub division of Acclaim along with the rest of the old staff.

I don't see why there is a pressing need to wash his hands. He didn't wipe his arse, so his hands were still clean. (I propose a new ending skit where we see what happens if he bothers to wipe his arse.) ;)

I've never played that Darkwing Duck game, but the jump and bounce mechanic looks a lot like from the old Mickey Mouse game for the Genesis. In that game, you're supposed to hold the jump button until his butt is exposed in order to bounce on enemies. If you merely jump while his feet is still below him, you won't be able to bounce on enemies and you'll take damage.

We play games, that's what. If you want to see our games check out the end of the Western Developed Games Episode as we as the FMV episode which runs off of a Sega CD.

Thank you so much for putting up the list of songs you used in apperance, that Code of Princess song is awesome!

2:21 Is it just me, or does the music sound like a bad version of the Game Sack Intro when he says "You have absolutely no control when you're bouncing around"

Pit Fighter was actually a fun game to play with a friend. I remember it was hard to find this cartridge available to rent because it was so popular where I live.

Dude, it’s 2021, and I STILL play Pitfighter occasionally

The sad part is that there's a sequel coming to Shaq-Fu, I just shudder at the thought!!!

If there is one thing I remember from 'Bsck to the Future', it was Marty and his pie flinging..That crazy Marty, always throwing pies n what have you.

Final Fantasy XIII. That's my game from hell.

Red Ninja: End of Honor (PS2) cool idea in concept, but in practice, came out as utter crap due to exceedingly unpredictable controls. Could've been forgivable if it was an action platformer, but for stealth based combat, the controls just screwed you over at every opportunity.

"This game has NO right to exist!"

Tongue of the Fatman/Mondu's Fight Palace - This game was designed for DOS computers in the CGA/EGA era. Most DOS action games from that era were crap. Back to the Future III - I love how every single game that's supposedly set in the American old west has European style trains. Is it really that hard for European artists to find pictures of classic American trains?

F-Zero GX got ridiculously hard when it came to trying to unlock the AX tracks. Great game though, still love it even though it got me so pissed off I did break a Gamecube controller because of it once.

Well, Sonic's waiting is a bad example. In Sonic CD after you wait for 3 minutes, Sonic says "I'm outta here!" and jumps off the stage. YOU THEN LOSE A LIFE.

Best retro game show on KZfaq =) Keep it up guys!
