I can't remember if you'd covered this one before, but Vexx is a pretty OK one, PS2, Game Cube, and Xbox Versions are out there pretty readily, as well.
Always look forward for new episodes. Great production quality, plus having somebody closer to my age as a host is MUCH easier to watch. A host who seemingly has lived through all generations of video games, I can see how effort and experience are put into each upload.
Aye....definitely. us who have lived thru all generations (first console experience was my older now disowned [her choice] sister's atari vcs heavy 6!) From there at 7 i had a master system and onwards to every sega. I got a 360 but after that i gave up as can't see the 'jump' in power per say.... so it is nice for joe to be the host as old and experienced as he is. I asked him to be my valentine lol.....no response (of course im joking /trollin....)
I actually love Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time. I rented it one weekend and beat it. My only complaint is that it's too short. Maybe that's also why we got Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters.
Haven: Call of the King on PS2 was amazing for a platformer. It actually did a lot of different kinds of game play but platforming was definitely part of it.
several games had time travel plots during the late 90's. Duke Nukem : Time to Kill, Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time, Sabrina The Teenage Witch : A Twitch in Time, Daikatana, Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Rascal....
Billy Hatcher is a great game. The sound effects are amazing though, especially smacking those penguins in the ice levels that need 3 hits. “Urh, urh, URRGWAAAWAAGAUHHHH”. I clocked it back the day too. It’s fun and inventive throughout.
I remember Billy Hatcher, since I remember playing the PC version years ago. Also Nitro Rad did both Scaler and Billy Hatcher prior to this Game Sack episode.
I use "radio buddy" all the time now, after hearing you give that trope a name in the Gaming Pet Peeves episode. I say "use" ... mostly I just think it to myself. Who else am I gonna talk to, _friends?_ Pah.
Scaler is legit, my old roommate back in the day wouldn't stop talking about how good it was. So finally one night we played it after drinking a bunch of absinthe and smoking out and yeah, it's pretty tripped out. Another good one is Mushroom Men on the Wii.
This Lizard games looks really great and polished, much work and love went into it, that's for sure. Amazing how similar games took off and this one remained overlooked.
I love the music in Billy Hatcher. Classic catchy Sonic Team with a nod to being on the Gamecube. Probably one of the last distinctly Sega sounding games, tragically
I got about halfway into the video when I started thinking about Scaler. I got that game for my PS2 for Christmas during a lean year for my family. However, regardless of any feeling I had to NEED to enjoy my gift, I liked it a lot. Then to my surprise, it already made it to the video! And I'm happy to see that you liked it as much as I did all those years ago.
It took a while after Daves departure for me to realize that Game Sack had a bit of a Siskel & Ebert-thing going. With them Siskel was more into the details and Ebert more into the overall, and with Joe he's more into the technicals like framerates and resolutions whereas Dave was a bit more forgiving
Next time u do one of these, keep in mind Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs for the Wii. I was blown away by how much fun I had playing that one. It has no reason to be as good as it is.
Great episode 👌. I've always wanted to hear your opinion on Azurik Rise of Perathia for XBOX. It's the first big 3d open world type game I've played. Very impactful on my teenage mind. It's a huge game. I think it's amazing. But I've never heard many UA-camrs talking about it. Other than when I specifically look it up.
New experiences is true, nice change of pace to talk about games we haven't heard about a million times already. ;) Hell I just called it Info-games for the longest time, they could still do that like Namcot becoming Namco. Darn voice actors, they should just be immortal and never die. There was definitely an increase in boredom for 3D platforming, a lot of levels that exist but aren't really fun to run through. Some definite growing pains bringing platforming from 2D to 3D and it took a long time in hindsight. Looks like Scaler had a strong design behind it since there's actually some kind of move set, powerups, and level design that actually reinforce each other. Story seems thin but oh well.
Amazed that you got the energy to keep doing such quality episodes alone and get them out regularly. GameSack is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam.
My fav genre is 2D and 3D mascot platforms so gaming from 1991-2005 was awesome for me as that is the time that genre dominated the gaming world. Some were trash but most of them were awesome
And here I was thinking I had heard of almost every game from this generation and then you bring up SCALER!? I have never, ever heard of Scaler until now and it seems pretty alright!
Scaler sure has a lot of stuff going on, and i love the feeling of progress. I can see where the end is very early in the game. Like a mix of Spyro and Sonic and a few games i haven't discovered yet. Played it on xBox.
Awesome to finally see Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time get covered here, though I'm disappointed by the lack in coverage. I've found myself playing it over and over again and despite some of the backtracking due to how the special abilities are obtained throughout the game. The kick by itself is only useful to activate pirate wheels and levers as well as open chests and break ACME boxes. Enemies have to be jumped on before you can kick/roll into them. It's my all-time favorite game on any platform. Mel Blanc's archived Yosemite Sam voice lines sound good in the game. I learned once that there's a glitch in the Medieval Times level "What's Cookin, Doc?" that allows you to get an infinite amount of golden carrots. Once you tire out the guard and kick him to temporarily lay him out, don't collect the carrot that appears. Lay him out again and another carrot pops out. It's pretty neat that each world has one level that strays away from the theme of the era (those unlockable via golden carrots). The levels are all neatly designed even if Magic Hare Blower is just an extended and altered version of Wabbit on the Run (and rather gimmicky just to have more blowing fans included). What's also kind of weird is that the final level goes by two names, Train Your Brain in the overworld and Space Speedway in the loading screen. Speaking of the loading screens, it's pretty neat that a good chunk of them come straight from classic episodes of the past like Rabbitson Crusoe, Assault and Peppered, Knight-mare Hare, and Hare-way to the Stars just to name a few. Hopefully you'll revisit this game once you get used to the camera and the timing of your jumps.
Billy Hatcher is good... up to a point, then the imprecise camera and controls reeeally make it a chore to get through and it become more frustrating than anything else.
The obscure 3D platformers that come to my mind is "a hat in time". I'm pretty sure the N64 has a lot of 3D platformers that most people never heard of. Maybe the mirror's edge games, the dishonored games, and the portal games since they do have platforming elements. I believe Prince of Persia on the Dreamcast is an obscure 3D platformer, I am not sure since I have played it only once for a bit around 20 years ago.
i LOVED duck dodgers, really need to revisit it,. it was one of the games that i got EVERY time i went to the video rental store, along with Glover. in fact i had to factor in that my limit of 5 rentals was actually only three because it was a given i was going to get those two.
Billy Hatcher was definitely more popular over here in Europe. Most of my friends loved this game. So much so that I was shocked to see it on this list.
Yay! Joe's finally playing Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg! Still waiting for the sequel Sega! I mean, it hasn't been that long of a wait...only 18 years!
It was nice to see Scaler get a recommendation here. It's an obscure game I thought would just be a Spyro ripoff, but it was actually a surprisingly competent game.
He probably means it's for sale on the Xbox 360. If you google the game 360 comes up as one of the platforms. While it is just the OG Xbox version it's still a game that's obtainable on the console. Unless he thinks the game is enhanced by being a 360 version and not "a game that just runs better" due to the hardware.
Bought Metal Arms a long time agofor the PS2. Good game. Shoot everything that you can so you can afford those weapon upgrades. There used to be a downloadable soundtrack for this game at the developer's website.
Thank you for a great episode. I've honestly never heard of any of them & probably would not entertain the Loony Tunes games. Although they look good, the flaws you highlighted would probably result in some broken joypads if I attempted to play them. No patience! I always come to this channel for some very honest, no holds barred reviews. Would love to see another homebrew games episode at some stage.
I really enjoyed this episode start to finish, I love 3D Platformers, great job 👍 Maybe I should recommend Looney Tunes Sheep Raider on Playstation, Kirby’s Blowout Blast on 3DS, Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 on Nintendo DS, Taz Wanted on PS2 and Gamecube, and New Super Lucky’s Tale on Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. Also idk if this qualifies as a 3D platformer (it should) but Frogger 2 Swampy’s Revange on Playstation and Dreamcast.
Spare Parts! It's digital-only, and was buried by EA Bright Light, hence why no one talks about it (the bland name makes it hard to search up too). But it's pretty fun.
Billy Hatcher actually has a pretty good cult following I used to spend quite a lot of time in Billy Hatcher fan forums and it gets brought up often in GameCube fan discussions
*angrify* ( _third-person singular simple present_ *angrifies,* _present participle_ *angrifying,* _simple past and past participle_ *angrified* ) *verb* ( _US, nonstandard, transitive_ ) To make angry, to anger.
Def check out MDK2, You play with a different character every level (3 characters total). 1. Kurt is 3d platforming mixed with 3rd/ 1st person shooting. 2. Max is basically high octane action and gunfire but also some platforming, some levels have him using a jetpack. 3. Dr Hawkins is more puzzle based but is kinda low on the platforming spectrum. Honestly one of my favorite games and you should realy try it out to see if it fits your criteria for obscure 3d platformers!
I recommend Zapper, Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars, Super Magnetic Neo, Starshot: Space Circus, Rocket: Robot on Wheels, Vexx, Spyro: A Hero's Tail, and Sonic: Lost World.
I'm excited about the new Crash Bandicoot game coming out for the Switch. From what I gather, it's a direct sequel to the 3rd game from back in 1998, and now that I finally have a pro controller I'm really looking forward to it.
I used to play the gamecube version of Metal Arms!!! That game was pretty fun! Not the greatest multiplayer but I do have some fond memories of playing against friends in it.
Glad you liked Billy Hatcher. It's Sega, Gamecube and Yuji Naka. Of course it's good. I never heard of Scaler. Might have to get that. I did have Dr. Muto and was also disappointed. It had a lot of potential... that didn't pan out
I loved Duck Dodgers back in the day, and I remember Nintendo Power and some other mags raving about it for what that's worth. I think most people don't talk about it because of the distribution - I don't think it was sold in stores. I could be wrong, but I recall reading about how it was one of those late releases like Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine that only showed up in rental shops like Blockbusters. I know my sister and I only played it via rentals, and never saw it _for sale_ at any store. Anyway, this was a great list! I love this series. Game Sack always shows off interesting obscurities, but I think I like obscure 3D Platformers the best. It's cool to see Joe discover stuff like Billy Hatcher and Scaler that really surprise him in a good way.
Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars on the Wii seems pretty obscure which is sad. Same with Puppeteer on the PS3 + PS2's Evil Twin: Cyprien's Chronicles and perhaps the furry fever dream, Neopets: The Darkest Faerie
I'm sure some have been covered, but here's some random 3D platformer suggestions: Tail Concerto (PS1), Glover (N64), Gex: Enter the Gecko (N64/PS1), Rayman 2 (Dreamcast), de Blob (Wii), Psychonauts (Xbox), Alice: Madness Returns (360/PS3), Toy Story 2 (Dreamcast), kind of an action-platformer Spider-Man (N64), Tak & the Power of Juju (GC/PS2/XB), and Vexx (GC/PS2/XB).
Are there any more 3D Platformers out there that may or may not be obscure that you think are worth checking out?
Taz Wanted and Time Busters
I can't remember if you'd covered this one before, but Vexx is a pretty OK one, PS2, Game Cube, and Xbox Versions are out there pretty readily, as well.
40 Winks for PS1 and N64, Earthworm Jim 3D for N64, Akuji the Heartless for PS1.
If you're not already sick of Infogrames and Looney Tunes games, try out Sheep Raider!
Did you ever do the Looney Tunes Acme Arsenal game?
True, they can't all be winners, but a winner is you.
*YOU’RE WINNER!*

scaler was the first game i ever remember playing. For decades ive been trying to find it with no clue where to start, thank god for this vid.
What would my morning Sunday hangovers be without Sack? Thank you Joe for what you do!
Billy Hatcher is a great game. The sound effects are amazing though, especially smacking those penguins in the ice levels that need 3 hits. “Urh, urh, URRGWAAAWAAGAUHHHH”. I clocked it back the day too. It’s fun and inventive throughout.
Dr. Muto had a great marketing team. I remember seeing ads for it everywhere.
I get my one year old on Saturday nights. When she wakes Sunday morning we watch Game Sack together.
Hell yeah, Metal Arms! I've recommended it on a few Game Sack videos in the past and I'm glad to see it featured!
Same. Really good game!
I really enjoyed this episode! Hope to see another one down the road!
Hey it’s DGR!
I remember Billy Hatcher, since I remember playing the PC version years ago. Also Nitro Rad did both Scaler and Billy Hatcher prior to this Game Sack episode.
good for them?
Dr. Muto too! James is definitely the king of obscure 3D platformer reviews, hah
Metal Arms is such a special game. Very fond memories of my time with it. Xbox is the best way to play it.
I use "radio buddy" all the time now, after hearing you give that trope a name in the Gaming Pet Peeves episode. I say "use" ... mostly I just think it to myself. Who else am I gonna talk to, _friends?_ Pah.
“He’ll get massive hypoglycemia and quickly die!”
“OHH NOOO!”
I’ll be your Radio buddy
The graphics of Billy Hatcher are indeed "eggselent"...
@Pro Tengu
Why do you feel thatway?
Vincent Price approves.
@Pro Tengu Gamecube is like the reason why AMD owns the console APU market
Should have kept that idea under your shell
Mel Blanc was simply amazing

NIIIIIIIICE!!!
Kya - Dark lineage deserves a mention here, such a fantastic game!
Joe, thank you very much for covering Metal Arms. It was one of my favorite games growing up and I think it deserves more recognition.
I've found that Billy Hatcher themesong pretty familiar! It appears in SONIC & ALL-STAR RACING TRANSFORMED "Chilly Castle" track. So cool!
I got about halfway into the video when I started thinking about Scaler. I got that game for my PS2 for Christmas during a lean year for my family.

Woah i just thought of Metal Arms before watching this video than you brought it up ! Now i remember what's its called !Thanks , man.
I really love this channel. One of my favorite gaming channels of all of UA-cam
Gamecube games just look like they're so smooth (and stable) for whatever reason. It's really awesome!
Love me some new Sack on a Sunday morning. Great stuff as always, Joe!
8:10 You didn't even TOUCH that cactus! omg you weren't kidding about the awful hit detection.
Have you done a DS-focused episode yet? It may be weird to set one up for capturing footage, but it might be worth it.
You talking about scaler unlocked a very deep hidden memory i use to love that game and actually still own it!
Next time u do one of these, keep in mind Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs for the Wii. I was blown away by how much fun I had playing that one. It has no reason to be as good as it is.
Of course atoms are the size of cantaloupes.
Hmmm Dr Muto I remember getting that game at Sam's Club for $5 along with Time Splitters 2
Billy the Hatcher! Seen that game for years now and always said "I should try that!".
Haa! 0:42

I hope you do more of the obscure ones, and not only 3D platformers.
Adventure games is one.

It’s not the most Obscure but Blinx The Time Sweeper is one of My Favorite of All Time!
Awesome to finally see Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time get covered here, though I'm disappointed by the lack in coverage. I've found myself playing it over and over again and despite some of the backtracking due to how the special abilities are obtained throughout the game. The kick by itself is only useful to activate pirate wheels and levers as well as open chests and break ACME boxes. Enemies have to be jumped on before you can kick/roll into them.

Well said! They should revisite the game again some time in the future. It's such an awesome platformer!
I loved Bugs bunny lost in time when it came out. Could just have nostalgia glasses on though.
Billy Hatcher is good... up to a point, then the imprecise camera and controls reeeally make it a chore to get through and it become more frustrating than anything else.

Midnight means a new game sack! You're a champ, Joe ✌🏻❤️
An obscure. 2D/2.5D platformer is “Iznogoud” on the PS1. Odd enough for a great segment in this channel as it’s a wired Euro platformer.
I had the PC version back in the day. Indeed a fun game, but VERY weird. Earthworm Jim weird.
Can't wait to play 007: Brown Eye on the Nintendo69
I’ll play 007 once I’m done with F Zero XXX
So many titles, some have fun ideas & surprises. The PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox were experimental.
just got a damn on-call from work at 2am on the east coast. at least a new Game Sack is up while I work
One hour and I'm here,miss ur side kick.. keep the good work up
Yay! Joe's finally playing Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg! Still waiting for the sequel Sega! I mean, it hasn't been that long of a wait...only 18 years!
Another great video. I may look for Scaler. Thanks.
It was nice to see Scaler get a recommendation here. It's an obscure game I thought would just be a Spyro ripoff, but it was actually a surprisingly competent game.
Gamesack on Valentine's day!? This is the best!
There's no 360 version of Metal Arms. The one on the 360 marketplace is just the OG Xbox version since it was backwards compatible.
He probably means it's for sale on the Xbox 360. If you google the game 360 comes up as one of the platforms. While it is just the OG Xbox version it's still a game that's obtainable on the console.
Unless he thinks the game is enhanced by being a 360 version and not "a game that just runs better" due to the hardware.
Hey Joe! Submitted for your approval. Deadly Sports Titles. Mutant League Series, Bloodbowl, Deathrow, Speedball: Brutal Deluxe, Cyberball, Powerball, Blitz Series.
Awesome, sack at 4am!
Bought Metal Arms a long time agofor the PS2. Good game. Shoot everything that you can so you can afford those weapon upgrades. There used to be a downloadable soundtrack for this game at the developer's website.
Metal Arms is such a good game, I had a lot of fun playing it in multiplayer!

Maybe I should recommend Looney Tunes Sheep Raider on Playstation, Kirby’s Blowout Blast on 3DS, Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 on Nintendo DS, Taz Wanted on PS2 and Gamecube, and New Super Lucky’s Tale on Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
Also idk if this qualifies as a 3D platformer (it should) but Frogger 2 Swampy’s Revange on Playstation and Dreamcast.
Would love to know more 3D Platformers I missed on the PS3 360 days
Spare Parts! It's digital-only, and was buried by EA Bright Light, hence why no one talks about it (the bland name makes it hard to search up too). But it's pretty fun.
The ending skit is... NICE!
I loved Dr. Muto. One of the few games I actually finished in that era. No idea if it would hold up to my expectations today though.
these looney toons games reminded me of the game sheep, dog 'n' wolf
on the ps1. It was really one of my favorites
Great episode, Joe!
I remember and own The Marvin Missions but duck dodgers on n64? Ordering this today for the fact I love this cartoon.

I'm excited about the new Crash Bandicoot game coming out for the Switch. From what I gather, it's a direct sequel to the 3rd game from back in 1998, and now that I finally have a pro controller I'm really looking forward to it.

Anyway, this was a great list! I love this series. Game Sack always shows off interesting obscurities, but I think I like obscure 3D Platformers the best. It's cool to see Joe discover stuff like Billy Hatcher and Scaler that really surprise him in a good way.
Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars on the Wii seems pretty obscure which is sad.
Same with Puppeteer on the PS3 + PS2's Evil Twin: Cyprien's Chronicles and perhaps the furry fever dream, Neopets: The Darkest Faerie
You should mention Croc: Legend of the Gobbos next time, great combo of Mario 64 and Sonic
I'm sure some have been covered, but here's some random 3D platformer suggestions:
Tail Concerto (PS1), Glover (N64), Gex: Enter the Gecko (N64/PS1), Rayman 2 (Dreamcast), de Blob (Wii), Psychonauts (Xbox), Alice: Madness Returns (360/PS3), Toy Story 2 (Dreamcast), kind of an action-platformer Spider-Man (N64), Tak & the Power of Juju (GC/PS2/XB), and Vexx (GC/PS2/XB).
A flash warning should have been put on this video. The out of bounds bit during Duck Dodgers was really unpleasant being an epileptic :P
