The Classic Game Room gag at the end brought a tear to my eye.

The thing I love about Gamesack is how Joe goes the extras mile to make everything “interesting” from a watchabllity perspective. It’s inspiring.

How you managed to keep a straight face while reading Fonzies Manifesto is awesome. Good review Joe.

I just noticed that whenever the saxophone guys turns up you hear his sax part play on top of the original stage music. That's actually pretty cool.

I'm impressed. Paprium actually came out before Star Citizen.

If there isn't an ending skit with Dave wearing the thong sometime in 2021, we riot.

That manifesto goes to show that game developers really do need publishers...or at least a PR Firm

Fonzie: “We lost a lot of money in the game” Also Fonzie: “Here’s your leather sexy thong!”

The ode to CGR and Mark made me very nostalgic and sad. I really hope he's doing alright.

With the way 2020 went I don't blame Fonzie for thinking there were 16 months.

Could you imagine if developers focused on making games like this for SegaCD in the 90s vs. the FMV and shoveled ports they threw at us? Not everything in this cart could be implemented on CD but they could have easily fit the game data plus red book audio.

Here's a thought: They MIGHT be playing audio on the arcade stick by simply storing the audio on the arcade stick itself, and just triggering it to play those sound files via the wire. That way it wouldn't have to transfer audio over the wire.

Hate this flimsy packaging, that one will be Dave's.

Man, that ending made me miss good old CGR.

Mark from CGR was the best. That guy could literally review a shovel full of dirt, and still make it entertaining. Love that guy.

I don't know if I should be happy for the nostalgia upon hearing that homage to Classic Game Room, or bummed out that the Intergalactic Space Arcade is now collecting dust in hangar :( Miss you, Mark!

I would love to play this but the next preorders are for April and I'm not sure if that's this April or April in 8 years 🤷 Also I miss Classic Game Room 😔

The classic game room outro was spot on.

That classic game room bit at the end was top notch stuff

"Did you just say tits?" is my favorite running gag.

Nice shout out to classic game room. Whenever i see truxton game I hear Mark's iconic TRUXTON!!!

Best Mark Bussler impression ever, lol! I miss the days before he went off the deep end...

Lost it at "literacy corner". Fantastic.

12:38 Enemies stand around, waiting for you to beat them up. What is this? A Steven Segal movie?

Not gonna lie. Was hoping you’d be wearing the XXS Speedo for the post credits

Joe that after credits scene about Classic Game Room broke my heart man. I miss them so much. I honestly feel like the KZfaq I grew up with is gone. Are you ever going to do another KZfaq parody episode?

The CGR closing was spot on. I miss me some Classic Game Room.

That ending skit makes me wish Classic Game Room is still around.

There is some Hindi text written on box "नीले कैप्सूल" which means "Blue Capsules"

This "Fonzie" guy is really taking inspiration from the old Itagaki playbook... have to say, I'm really impressed! What a character, lol

That CGR spoof at the end, hahaha. I miss that show.

I love the Classic Game Room review at the end! I wonder if they'll port it to the Vectrex.

After I received my copy of Paprium and read that letter I really was hoping you'd cover the letter itself during your review. I got my wish and then some. God bless Joe's Literacy Corner. Game Sack fucking rules. Also: that CGR parody at the end was 10/10 perfect.

24:38 I need that guy to just follow me around all day.

The Classic Game Room parody at the end did not go unappreciated

"Does that mean the Super Nintendo is more powerful than Paprium?" The FF3 slowdown with that CPU player + 3 baddies speaks for itself.

I really miss Classic Game Room! I hope I'm not in the minority that got the reference :)

I miss classic Classic Game Room.

This is the classic example of a skilled developer who has no idea what the hell to do with said skills.

This Fonzie guy looks like he's easy and fun to work with, I'm sure Sega will be giving him a call.

"PS4 runs at half interlaced frames" I'm starting to doubt Fonzie's skills as a developer.

Happy 10th anniversary Game Sack!

The Classic Game Room bit was too accurate. Mark would be proud.

Wow, that CGR impression is pretty good.

The story behind this game is simply fascinating. And that CGR skit was *LEGENDARY.* xD

"This game is there, that's all matters." = the tagline for every unfinished or bugged game ever released The DLC plans, imo, are pretty lame. Probably 99% of the people who were interested in this, would have gladly waited for longer for all planned content to be on the cart. This isnt like some day-1 modern release.

Hilarious edits and gags this time. You're coming into a league of your own not only as a technical presenter, but as one of the funniest gaming personalities.

I'd probably get it for ten bucks on the Nintendo Switch

The 80 MEGA POWER!!! bit nearly made me jump out of my skin

Dude, this was the review I have been waiting for! I absolutely love your style and that Classic Game Room parody was fantastic. I'm glad you enjoyed the music Groovemaster303 and I put together. Imagine sitting on an album of stuff for 7 years! This made my day man! Thanks for being awesome :).

Nice CGR reference a the end. I miss Marks review show.

Loved the ending.... Ol Classic Game Room lol

Shout out to Classic Game Room. Loved the end skit

I miss Classic Game Room so much

Oh man, that ending made me laugh and somewhat sad at the same time. RIP Classic Game Room

It looks like Lord Karnage approves this non sponsored episode

Dang I miss Classic Game Room!

When he claims he gave all of them away long ago, I assume he is referring to his Fux.

that dramatic reading was amazing.

The chips in the picture include an FPGA but more importantly and ARM Cortex-4 32-Bit CPU. The rest is FLASH/SDRAM memory and some basic bus/multiplexer chips. The FPGA could fairly be used to simulate a hard to find old chip, but it's hard to justify the presence of the 32-Bit ARM which is a couple orders of magnitude more powerful than the Genesis while getting on your high horse about how special 16-bit platforms are. It wasn't unheard of to stick a enhancing chips in a Genesis game, thought it was rare unlike the NES where mappers were standard not long after launch in the US. But this is much closer to sticking the Dreamcast's CPU and a quarter of it's memory on the cart.

Whilst it may not be the greatest game, its a great technical achievement, for sure.

Forgot to add I believe you can play 4 players with two Paprium Grandsticks. It’s mentioned in the manual.

That post credits scene made be feel a kinda way. I miss CGR and Mark.

Classic Game Room is basically a cult classic nowadays

I love the Classic Game Room skit at the end !!!! I miss his videos. He lives close to me , so I still follow him on Facebook . Great video !!!!

CGR :( made me feel very nostalgic, I love those days.

Amazing technical achievement, but with Fonzie's history of the development and the whole attitude I can't bring myself to pull the trigger buying it-- still, very cool to see! Thanks for the review

I'm so ready for this game to get emulated. Can't wait to finally play it

I did it. I made it through the entire "Oldest To Newest" Playlist! Keep the excellent videos coming, Joe!

Inafune 2016 - "It's better than nothing" Fonzie 2020 - "This game is there, that's all matters."

OMG the impression of Mark at the end.... what a throwback , i loved it!!

I bought a Framemeister and a Japanese PS2 off Mark. The same ones used on the reviews. And he drew a little Edit Station 1 on there for me too. Pretty cool to have. That video where Mark goes and buys a Sega Saturn is one of the best episodes. Vintage KZfaq. Miss CGR!

Loved the cgr bonus ending! Needs more truxton tho

Man, I love long reviews of just one game. This was great. And that CGR reference was just gold.

The fact you made a Class Game Room reference at the end is pure brilliance. I miss CGR

Thank you for recording gameplay with that crisp video quality.

There is a code for 3 player mode! AAA, Up Up Up, Down Down Down at the character select. Also, Kickstarter for Paprium HD, Mini-Paprium, Paprium Game Guide, OST and more! Now, someone get me Ghost Corps The Videogame series! Hooooooo!

Omg the skit at the end. Nailed the "homage".

That ending was amazing! I hope CGR see's this.

I would not have survived quarantine if it weren't for all of the Game Sack videos to spend time with, thank you for these Joe, your work here is always entertaining and always appreciated

DANZIG!!!

Tool albums take 8 years and are almost as coherent as Fonzie. So there’s that.

Literacy corner is maximum ASMR, and Fonzie is maximum mad.

Well, maybe there is a game developer more megalomaniacal than Kojima out there, after all.

2021 barely began and we already got some great news.

😳The ebay price for this game is beyond out of control. Is it really that good?

Nice Classic Game Room throw back. Miss that guy :(

Paprium i rated this game 9/10 nearly perfect beat em up allowing you play with CPU enabled!!! Without your friend your cpu will help you out!!! This game deserve to play!!! Forget cyberpunk 2077!

Holy cats! 300 Episodes! I've been a fan of each and every episode! This has been a great run and shows just how skilled you are in making wonderful entertainment! Thank you Game Sack! I shall raise a toast to 300 more episodes!

Wow! That literacy corner was straight up baffling! I am confused why any dev would put that into print for their game!

LMFAO, the CGR ending is amazing.

I could thank Fonzie for bringing back the Literacy Corner, aka the best corner.

Still waiting for the rom dump 2+yrs after release

The AI of the enemy that doesn't want to fight is perfectly fine. He's the smartest!

Looks like kaneda’s bike from Akira makes an appearance at 10:00 cool

$130 for a cartridge game with a big piece of metal rattling around inside. Wonderful.

Watermelon made Pier solar and the Great architects right? I loved that game.

Man I miss Mark of Classic Game room. 😅

The developer sounds like an elitist who made design decisions which inconvenience the player based solely on their own preferences. Their communication is flat out arrogant and the people behind the game really put me off it, which is a shame as I love these kind of beat-em-ups and the aesthetics are outstanding, absolute eye candy.

Love the Classic Game Room throwback!!! Miss you Mark!!!
