stop motion animation, clay animation for a one off episode and now you're doing hand drawn animation for another one off episode. Major props for the effort
It’s sad. It’s like seeing a loved family dog going blind, bumping into things and messing everywhere. The Simpsons needs to be put down, it’s just....well, awful now.
This episode would’ve been perfect to sample Dave from previous episodes going “That’s right Joe!” and animate him nodding his head. Real Dave being back would be good tho
Pointless fact: Virtual Bart was the first Simpsons game where the voice actors recorded actual dialogue for it. All the games before that use samples from the show.
I hear if you pour a glass of tang and say "hidden gems" three times in the bathroom with the lights off, Metal Jesus appears and forgives most of your sins.
Hats off for the animation, and thank you for making a comprehensive video for their releases, everybody covers Road Rage, Hit & Run, or Skateboarding.
There were some game boy exclusives missing. Which isnt a huge surprise as most dont known of them. But im kinda surprised he didnt atleast mention them briefly.
Virtual Springfield on the PC was probably my most authentic Simpson experience. To be fair its a point and click adventure with no real "objective" or means to win. But it was fun to explore Springfield and see all the attention to detail/easter eggs to the most popular episodes.
There’s one Simpsons themed game you forgot to mention and that’s the DMA designed Lemmings like game Krusty’s Super Funhouse for the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Amiga, Game Gear, Game Boy, NES, and of course PC.
I know I'm in the minority, but I loved Bart vs. The Space Mutants! And I agree, the NES version is way better than the Genesis version. (Btw, to use the rocket, once you've put it on the ground, run into it to launch it at the statue. You can also fire at the E in the Kwik E Mart sign and at the windows at the retirement home.) I enjoyed the video, thanks! :)
@@amandawashington4239 I got two games a year back then. On birthday and Christmas. If I picked a crappy one, then I was stuck with it and just learned to love it. Like some weird video game version of Stockholm syndrome I guess.
@10:58 - The Simpsons arcade was ported to DOS (of all things!), my friend had it growing up, but it's like 16 color EGA or something ridiculous. It's the same levels and enemies, but... the experience is not great vs emulating the arcade version.
IT BEGINS I liked the fact in Hit&Run for some of the races you could just go the opposite direction and reach the destination faster then the way you are suppose to go.
I just wanna note that it was really great seeing Dave back for at least one episode recently. But it also made me realize that you really are doing a fantastic job even by yourself, still coming up with creative & awesome ideas to keep the show fresh, like what you did here animating yourself in the Simpsons style. That sort of stuff sets you apart and makes the show great. Keep up the fantastic work man!
The fact that you did all the animation yourself was actually quite impressive. I think it even tops the sega cd fmv style episode in my opinion. I especially appreciated the the yellowing you added the SNES, nice touch.
The fact you animated your dialog, despite how minimal, is simply astounding, Joe! Also, on a totally different note, do you think you'll ever do a show about the games Ion Storm released? I hope so. 🙏
Game Sack keeps going the extra mile on these episodes! Such a great idea and execution for a themed game episode. I can imagine it wasn't easy doing the animation but it really paid off in this video! Well done! I hope another Bluray collection is in the works at some point down the road as I'd happily add this to my existing Game Sack disc collection. Bravo Joe! Keep up the awesome work!
You kept the animation going through the entire episode. Color me impressed! We can really taste the love and care that goes into crafting Game Sack. Mmmmm crafty love *drools*
you guys are officially the goats!!!!!!!! y'all produce the episodes make the episodes write the episodes direct the episodes and now your animate the episodes????? MARVELOUS!!!!!!!
I really got into Krusty's Super Fun House back in the day. My friends had it and we would all brainstorm together until we figured out the solution to each stage.
Joe, what an awesome episode. I have to say I was very impressed with the animations and your overall commitment to the Simpson art style throughout the episode. Definitely in the top 10 of your most creative episodes yet. Yay!
I gotta say I have mad respect for this channel. Y’all are so insanely consistent with the videos, videos are always substantial length, and they all have effort put into them. The humor is cringey as hell but I consider that a bonus personally. Please keep it up!!!
Your animation looks more like Beavis & Butthead's earlier years than The Simpsons. Speaking of which, have you ever reviewed the Beavis & Butthead games?
This has to be your best episode yet! You should do some more episodes based off of long running shows. I would love to see a SpongeBob Games episode! Haha
What a huge undertaking! Imagine just deciding to do an animated episode as a one off gimmick and actually pulling it off! Very impressive Joe! Btw have you ever seen "Eggs for Bart"?
One thing you forgot to mention about Road Rage: It has a multiplayer mode where two players complete to pick up and deliver passengers, and you can steal passengers from the other car by ramming into them and it is *gold*
This was unexpected! I never would have thought you would do something like this. But you left out two Simpsons games. The Simpsons Wrestling (2001) and The Simpsons Skateboarding (2002).
I have Road Rage and Hit and Run for GameCube... but neither work anymore. 😕 Maybe I can get them resurfaced. I would love an actual Simpsons arcade unit! 😍
Hey Joe, great episode as always! Ever thought of doing a console revision episode? Watching the Snes vs gen episode made me think of all the revisions both consoles had.
Actually, Bart Vs. The Space Mutants on NES was always my favorite, although I could never beat the entire game. Rarely got past the second level mall, but I did enjoy it a lot- despite the brutal platforming. To be fair though, Road Rage and Hit & Run were completely off my radar during their era. I really want to try them now!
I love your mjr impression . It is so spot on I can barely tell that it is you in a wig . Hell I could be wrong mjr may have sent you a clip of him, it is that good !
TMNT the arcade game comes close...its a toss up IMO. I wish I could go back in time to slap myself to buy both of these games. 😂 I am so glad that I purchased the ios version of the Simpsons arcade game back in the day that I can still play on my older iphone and Ipad...this version will have to do.
@@knowledgeseeker4116 Yeah, I used to have the XMen arcade game for ps3 too but the license ran out when I didn't have it downloaded. Pretty mad about that
A Game Sack episode? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within my living room!?
Yes.
That quote is deserving of a steamed ham
May I see it?
No
Not only in your living room, in my bedroom too!
@@ninjapirate47 Really. Well, I'm from Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams"
stop motion animation, clay animation for a one off episode and now you're doing hand drawn animation for another one off episode. Major props for the effort
Hey Joe, you seem to be a perfectionist, but honestly your animation parts of yourself are great.
Thumbs up!
Tony Deaf is low-key hilarious. That's a better joke than in most modern episodes
Not only that Paul Walker was a visual engineer what was he thinking? I guess he was just here until his acting career took off.
It’s sad. It’s like seeing a loved family dog going blind, bumping into things and messing everywhere. The Simpsons needs to be put down, it’s just....well, awful now.
"Is there a Tony here? Tony Deaf?"
A credits name is a far better joke than complete modern seasons. D'oh!!
Not
"Note: Dave died on the way back to his home planet,"
"I have to go now, my planet needs me" - Dave
Whenever Dave's not on screen, the comments section have to ask "where's Dave?!"
@@Hellwyck Seriously though, Where's Dave?
*slide whistle intensifies*
This episode would’ve been perfect to sample Dave from previous episodes going “That’s right Joe!” and animate him nodding his head. Real Dave being back would be good tho
Comic Book Guy voice: "Best. Game Sack. Ever."
Don't mind me. I'm just trying to reconcile the fact that this dude hears comic books, and I'm not sure if I'm sympathizing or jealous.
@@OfficialNukeDukem ;-;
I always felt that “Road Rage” should have been called “Hit & Run”, and vice versa.
Agreed.
This seriously has to be the best episode you've ever done. Major thumbs up for the animation!
agreed. . def top 10. . NO TOP 5!!!!
Pointless fact: Virtual Bart was the first Simpsons game where the voice actors recorded actual dialogue for it. All the games before that use samples from the show.
First for home consoles. The simpsons arcade game features original dialogue as well.
This episode was “excellent!”
👏
Exactly.... D'oh!
@@ozzymandias7649 beat me to it! 😂
"Excellente!"
Release the hounds
Was that Metal Jesus!? Wow, I didn't know you guys were working together!
I hear if you pour a glass of tang and say "hidden gems" three times in the bathroom with the lights off, Metal Jesus appears and forgives most of your sins.
Hats off for the animation, and thank you for making a comprehensive video for their releases, everybody covers Road Rage, Hit & Run, or Skateboarding.
There were some game boy exclusives missing. Which isnt a huge surprise as most dont known of them. But im kinda surprised he didnt atleast mention them briefly.
Hi I'm Joe Redifer. You may remember me from such Game Sack episodes as "Piss-Poor Ports!" and "How to Clean Your Stupid Games!"
I'm gonna be honest. The fact that you've gotten BETTER since going solo is insane. Amazing episode.
I can't believe you got Matt Groening to do the animation
Film Roman and Gracie Studios do the animation on the Simpsons. Groening just oversees the job.
@@Hellwyck Shh! Do do doo do do do, doo do dooo
In future you can just draw Dave in screen for the show. 😁
Virtual Springfield on the PC was probably my most authentic Simpson experience. To be fair its a point and click adventure with no real "objective" or means to win. But it was fun to explore Springfield and see all the attention to detail/easter eggs to the most popular episodes.

Joe, I don't want to alarm you, but there may be a Greendog or GREEEENDOG in the house!
I legit own a sealed copy.
My mom found it with a bunch of Christmas gifts after my Grandmother passed away (love you Grandma ❤🙏).
This is an underrated joke
The whole alien and glasses thing in Bart vs the Space Mutants was a parody of John Carpenter's They Live.
Moleman: "Didn't this series used to have a Dave in it?"
Come on, get up! You've been warned!
I appreciate how much time I know it had to take to do all that animation by hand. Nicely done!
I know I'm in the minority, but I loved Bart vs. The Space Mutants! And I agree, the NES version is way better than the Genesis version. (Btw, to use the rocket, once you've put it on the ground, run into it to launch it at the statue. You can also fire at the E in the Kwik E Mart sign and at the windows at the retirement home.) I enjoyed the video, thanks! :)
I thought I was the only one! But then again, I was very poor growing up, and it was either that game, or reading. Which I also did a lot of.
I loved that game too. I still play it once in a while.
The sega master system was amazing, I loved the game through a d through
@@amandawashington4239 I got two games a year back then. On birthday and Christmas. If I picked a crappy one, then I was stuck with it and just learned to love it. Like some weird video game version of Stockholm syndrome I guess.
Hey, man! What's up, what's up... 😎
Laughed insanely hard to that MJR reference hahaha. Your best episode yet!
love how he include the "yellowing" on the SNES!
hahaha
"Hello, I´m Joe McClure, you may remember me from such Game Sack episodes as Sony Playstation VS Sega Saturn and Criminally Overlooked Games"
I'm so glad you said this because that'd exactly the vibe I got from Joe.
Haha the way you kept going to the picture of Garry Kitchen just sitting their smiling had me dying!
@10:58 - The Simpsons arcade was ported to DOS (of all things!), my friend had it growing up, but it's like 16 color EGA or something ridiculous. It's the same levels and enemies, but... the experience is not great vs emulating the arcade version.
Holy Mother of God he drew the episode! That's such dedication from Joe. What a legend.
Even the game footage!

Joe was lucky to not fall victim to the grid.
I lost at the MetalJesusRocks joke. Good job
The fact you animated your dialog, despite how minimal, is simply astounding, Joe!
Also, on a totally different note, do you think you'll ever do a show about the games Ion Storm released? I hope so. 🙏
EDIT: Sorry, I was wrong, I mistook Ion Storm with Ion Fury.
@@julioagua your probably thinking of the Daikatana advertisement.”John Romero’s about to make you his bitch, suck it down.

BEST game sack episode EVER! . . .
From stop motion animation to animation! The creativity you put into your special episodes is seriously impressive!
This reminds me that you look a bit like Hank Scorpio
Ever seen a man say goodbye to a shoe?

gotta love the production level of these videos. It's so evident how you love the subject and the effort that you put into it. A joy to watch! Thanks!
Bart, I don't want to alarm you, but there may be a new Game Sack episode in the house
AAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!
You kept the animation going through the entire episode. Color me impressed! We can really taste the love and care that goes into crafting Game Sack. Mmmmm crafty love *drools*
For effort and execution this was the best video yet! Props
you guys are officially the goats!!!!!!!! y'all produce the episodes make the episodes write the episodes direct the episodes and now your animate the episodes????? MARVELOUS!!!!!!!
Is there no end to this man's talents??? Excellent vid :)
I really got into Krusty's Super Fun House back in the day. My friends had it and we would all brainstorm together until we figured out the solution to each stage.
Try Adobe Character Animator. It was even used to do a live call-in Q&A with Homer Simpson during a football game a few years back.
That Metal Jesus part jesus, I almost died
This channel is so underrated, thank you gamesack for the quality content.
These shows have so much effort put into them and it shows. Good job!
pretty good animation actually, even those claymation things, amazing you were able to sync the lip/facial movements with the talking.
Great episode Joe!
And you really should check out the Commodore 64 port of Simpsons Arcade, it’s quite impressive for the hardware.
You did not cover Krusty's Fun House on the SNES ! I thought it was a good game.
Yeah I think it was even on the Master System
Krusty's Fun House was on Snes, Genesis, Nes and Master System.
What a fantastic episode! The love and care that you put into each video is so appreciated. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent episode especially love how you used Simpson's style animation for the episode including yourself
Joe, what an awesome episode. I have to say I was very impressed with the animations and your overall commitment to the Simpson art style throughout the episode. Definitely in the top 10 of your most creative episodes yet. Yay!
I gotta say I have mad respect for this channel. Y’all are so insanely consistent with the videos, videos are always substantial length, and they all have effort put into them. The humor is cringey as hell but I consider that a bonus personally. Please keep it up!!!
I was not expecting you to cover Simpson's video games...but I'm so glad you did!!!...you truly are a great content creator Joe.
Your animation looks more like Beavis & Butthead's earlier years than The Simpsons. Speaking of which, have you ever reviewed the Beavis & Butthead games?
He did SNES, Genesis and Game Boy on one of the Same Name, Different Game episodes
This has to be your best episode yet! You should do some more episodes based off of long running shows. I would love to see a SpongeBob Games episode! Haha
That's weird Joe, I was binging a bunch of Simpsons episodes and this came up.
What a huge undertaking! Imagine just deciding to do an animated episode as a one off gimmick and actually pulling it off! Very impressive Joe!
Btw have you ever seen "Eggs for Bart"?
Simpsons Hit & Run’s animation looks like that 3D Homer skit in Treehouse of Horror VI. Nice touch
One thing you forgot to mention about Road Rage: It has a multiplayer mode where two players complete to pick up and deliver passengers, and you can steal passengers from the other car by ramming into them and it is *gold*

Finally. A Sponsor that I can respect :D
We’ve gotten claymation, stop motion, and now actual animation. Joe is a talented dude.
I really appreciate all the time and love you put into your videos.
Fav Simpsons Games are The Arcade Game, Road Rage, Hit and Run, and The Simpsons Movie Game.
I have Road Rage and Hit and Run for GameCube... but neither work anymore. 😕
Maybe I can get them resurfaced. I would love an actual Simpsons arcade unit! 😍
This intro is bananas. I absolutely love this
Simpsons games took a nose dive after EA acquired exclusive access to the IP and they have been poor stewards of the license ever since.
Hey Joe, great episode as always!

that was actually really nice lip sync, must've taken forever lol
also, it's okay to dream about game sack sometimes, i do it pretty oft--
Great way to start my day! Excellent work. My favorite episode of Game Sack so far. It’s even better if you watch it while eating a sprinkled donut!
Man, I'm only a few seconds in and this is rad, great job, Joe!
👍for the Metal Jesus joke. That guy deserves it.
Thanks for doing this Sack.
I love your mjr impression . It is so spot on I can barely tell that it is you in a wig . Hell I could be wrong mjr may have sent you a clip of him, it is that good !
Damn. That must have taken some effort! Great stuff.
Yes, the lip sync was quite the task.:)
Agreed. I was thinking the same thing but it was so AMAZING. Thanks for all the effort!
@@GameSack Much appreciated. Thanks!
@@GameSack Good thing MVG helped you out
You were right, the reason you weren't seeing the cutscenes on the Genesis Virtual Bart in the waterslide level is because it was in practice mode

Honestly the best channel on UA-cam.
I'm like a 3 year fan
The Simpsons Arcade Game can be had via MAME too if needed. :P
It had a PC DOS version back in the day, and it was pretty faithful and awesome... and equally HARD
@@Locomamonk Hard indeed. Never had enough coins in the pocket to pass it.
Exactly! That’s why I also hate digital downloads. So many good games are delisted and impossible to get again.
Wow I bet someone really cool helped with the idea for this episode. 👀
Matt Groening?
You’re a hack. Respectfully.
Nah.....
Nah, can't be. Why does youtube not show or recommend your videos to me anymore. Now i have to search for your latest video.
Nah. Nobody cool, anyway.
Awesome work on this one, great animation. Game Sack is the best. Oh, and thanks for letting Stinky Old Dave come back for that previous video!
An amazing episode, Joe! Very impressed by the animation!
nice to see Metal Jesus out of his room
The turnout this channel has is crazy for the quality of content. These guys are machines, lol
Holy crap. That must have been a ton of work. Thank you Joe for so much work man, love your channel
Was hoping for a review of bonestorm. "Buy me bonestorm or go to hell!"
Awesome work with the animations! I know that took time and a ton of effort. Thank you!
"The game is practically a parody of itself" so basically like the show today then. Fallen so far :'(
I was *not ready* for the animated intro; too dope!
"Excellent"
This episode is brilliant. I bet you had a lot of work with the animation.
Thanks for such great job.
