What are some games that were left in the arcade you'd like to see covered?
Asian Dynamite
Riding Fight
The BattleTech combat pods.
Scud Race, hopefully the one you hinted about at the end. My fav Sega arcade racer. A localish arcade has it and my closest arcade has Daytona 2. Why they never released them back in the day I don't know. If they did a Daytona/scud/sega rally arcade bundle for xbox/ps now I would be all over it!
Nam 1975
Kudos to Joe for following the comedy rule of threes for his Hachou joke.
That sneezing gag for Hachou! is one of your best so far. 😂
Has the same energy as *GRROOOWWLL* from *TAIIIITO!*
@@AgsmaJustAgsmaWhat about "TAAAAAAAATE MOOOOOOODE!"?
@@Chaos89P Tate Mode ascends human comprehension.
LOL Yeah!
Nine months later and it's still hilarious!
I still can’t believe Daytona USA 2 never got a port on consoles. It seemed like it would have been perfect for a Xbox Live Arcade/PSN release. I suppose it’s never too late to bring to modern consoles, but, I won’t hold my breath on that.
When I released Supermodel in 2011, someone at Sega of Europe got in touch with me to explore doing some Model 3 ports on XBox 360. They sent an NDA and then ghosted me. It was super weird. I think the big problem with these games now is the licensing expense.
@@trzy Hey Bart! I never knew that you'd been contacted by Sega about this, that's really interesting. How bizarre that they just ghosted you afterwards. So bizarre that Sega decided to just totally ignore Daytona USA 2 the whole time they had the license for the first game - it only just got de-listed from XBLA and PSN fairly recently (Can't recall if it was late last year or early this year).
The fact that Daytona USA 2 and Scud Race have never, and of this writing STILL, have not been ported outside the arcades is a crying shame.
@@DatBeastard You technically can play Daytona 2 / Scud Race tracks in Outrun 2 on original Xbox, but that's the only way so far.
@@trzy Sounds like typical Sega Right Hand not agreeing with the Left Hand stuff, lmao
It is worth noting that Wing War is one of only two games that were ever playable in Sega's mighty R360 cabinet. It was one hell of a ride.
I love these left in the arcade episodes. Always something I haven't heard of.
It's not Sunday without Game Sack. Thanks always, Joe! You make Sundays worth living through!
One of the best UA-cam shows. You ok my guy?
Try church (not being sarcastic or condescending).
I feel the same thing! My Sunday is more bearable, thanks to game sack😅
@@joncoyne6049 Dandy, and agreed!
@@sollanorabelobraga7592 It's just always something to look forward to and Game Sack shows are never a let down.
I love this channel such fun energy
You forgot to mention Daytona USA 2 having two versions. One is Battle On The Edge which is the the Japanese version in this video. The other is Power Edition, International Version that changes the Beginner track to Nascar speedway and they also added an extra 4th track. Nevertheless, a big shame Sega never even want to port this masterpiece to home console
i love how the camera in these arcades racing games is strategically positioned so it always give you an excelent sightline to all the awesome scenery that surrounds the track. 3/5 of the screen is dedicated just for that, with the actual racing taking place on the bottom 2/5.
This is literally the only channel on UA-cam that I make sure I watch every single episode. Ending skits often more than once. Thank you Joe!
Twice a month we are blessed with Game Sack episodes! Thanks so much for you hard work!
Never change Joe, you are my spirit animal!
I love that Arcade games are so colourful I think we lost a lot in the quest for realism in games
I love to agree. I remember when developers tried to get specific graphic styles to set their games apart from others. And now 95% of games released do look almost the same.
Agree. The arcade is the time when the developers unleashed their fun, bizarre, creative ideas for a game. Sadly, nowadays we are stuck with monotonous games that tried to be realistic
I think realism has its place too, but it took over and now everything is boring. Thank goodness for Nintendo and Sega.
Been watching your show for many years now. I don't understand how you don't have much closer to 1 million subscribers. Best retro video game channel on youtube!
Just got home from work and a new Game Sack episode drops... What a treat!
Randomly, I ponder if the Gradius ship Lord British is a homage to the Ultima creator. The throw into screen animation for the jumping vampires is rather brutal, eyes just pop out, eech. I like the Wampa room, that's where you store your Wampas. That was a cut scene from ESB, where the droids remove a warning label (Danger, Wampa storage, I assume), and some unsuspecting Snowtroopers barge in, I seem to recall.
That's correct. There was a subplot about the Rebels having do deal with Wampas invading their base, and they manage to trap some in a room. When the Empire invades the base, C-3PO rips off a warning label on the door of that room telling people not to enter it. Then some Stormtroopers go into that room and the Wampas kill them.
The part with C-3PO ripping the sign off the door is actually in one of the movie trailers.
I recently watched an Ultima documentary for some reason(it helped me fall asleep) and they mentioned this as a fact. The Ultima guy inspired the ship.
Ahem, I believe the technical term is _Wampatorium._
I also wonder about the Lord British connection... I know he's included as a character in the Salamander OAV's.
@@CSGraves yep, the blonde hair dude in the salamander OAVs is "Lord British" (they even made a lore about how he's not only the ruler of planet Latis but also a prince)
@@xtremer_daredevil5950 Admittedly being a prince kinda sounds lame compared to ruling an entire planet. 😛
I played Dancing Eyes in Japan recently and it was a bit different from the version in this vid. The stages had you removing the girls' clothes, not some object they were trapped in. You also got to move the camera and zoom in during the victory screen.
I think that there were at least 2 versions of the game. I played it a couple of times in the arcade and it wasn't quite the same as this video or other videos/screenshots I've seen.
I remember playing Wave Runner many times at a Boardwalk arcade. It was really fun but expensive at a $1 per play.
Oh my, loved playing DANCING EYES at my local arcade, it was really fun but also kinda pervy too 😆the final stage with the BIG HEAD man is hilarious
Just wanted to let you guys know some of these games have had Dreamcast conversions made by the community. They work on emulators and real hardware alike. Most of them are Atomiswave games, but some NAOMI ones exist. Some examples include King of Fighters XI and Dolphin Blue, with lots more to come. I can't link them here but it's a search away, and I definitely think they should be covered in a future episode.
Quality episode! Good selection of games and the pronunciation of Hachoo! was on point. Ending skit looks like one of those silly Japanese commercials western actors did in the 80's and 90's, that surely wouldn't come back to haunt them as the world internationalized with some information superhighway, or somethin'.
Good to see Toy Fighter getting a mention, it's a fun fighter
Indeed it is. Though I never played it, Watching gameplay of it is super wacky and fun
Wing War looks so good 😮 love the graphics
I'll bet Craig Staddler could have drained it like that last shot on the Death Star in Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. Heck, he probably could have gotten it inside yours.
Let me lay it out for ya
Oh man I remember Wing War, loved playing that for the short time it was in my local arcade.
Daytona 2 , such a great game, I listen to the soundtrack pretty often while cooking, wokring on arts , and even working out. SlingShot is so good.
Alright Joe, I'm gonna need that shirt...oh wait I've still got my Crazy Taxi Dreamcast preorder shirt from back in the day...& it's still sealed in the circle container
I am driving down the street blasting this episode on my car's stereo going above the speed limit so everyone can get some SACK
"Well officer, you see this new episode of Game Sack premiered..."
How are you old enough to drive?
A new ep of Game Sack? Let's get it on!
Yeah, I've been waiting for this!
My local chucky cheese used to have a wave runner machine and I remember that the controls were a (more or less) life size jet ski with buttons on the handles. It was so cool
I came across wing war maybe twice in real life. I gave it a go but being about 10, I had a lot to learn about fighter combat. So realistic it hurts!
A couple I hadn't heard of in this one! The enemies scaling into the screen was pretty neat in Hachooo Loved the filter & effects you pulled off for the ending segment of this one also!
"Head down to your local arcade and play..." That one hurt Joe, that one hurt 😥
I really enjoyed the Star Wars Arcade Trilogy back in the day. A local movie theater had one and I would play it almost every time.
Awesome episode, I've never seen Wing War before and that's right up my street. Awesome Skit too Joe, that one was hilarious! :D
Finally! A couple games I've actually played in an arcade! Daytona & Star Wars Trilogy. It's been over 20 years, but I remember really liking the lightsaber stages when I played it.
those throwing animations are awesome
Those Hachou screen throws are amazing.
Thanks for continuing to bless us with fantastic content.
That ending skit is one of your best mate 😂😂😂😂😂
Do you enjoy well balanced and fun gameplay?? NEITHER DO WE!
I find something really pure about games that have flat-shaded polygons. I like that look.
I highly recommend Emergency Call Ambulance for the Sega Model 3. It is only 4 stages long but it will take you awhile to get good enough to make it through all 4 stages. If you end up featuring it and play it for the episode I recommend picking the manual transmission. The last stage seems almost impossible to do with an automatic. I played it with an Xbox controller and set the left and right shoulder buttons to shift down and shift up. Pro tip! You can gain extra speed by switching back and forth between lower and higher gear. I'm interested in hearing your opinion on it since it is my top Model 3 game.
Game Sack, every video of yours is an instant classic
Waverunner in the arcade was amazing. Still remember sitting on the jet ski which made it very immersive. I definitely liked this arcade game better than wave race 64!
Star Wars Trilogy was my JAM at my local Golf N Stuff back in the day. Sometimes, i didn't play anything else when I went. I was really happy to play it again via emulation
Dancing Eyes is one of my favorite games to play on MAME. Thank you for showing this title here!
'Head down to your local arcade and play it'
My local arcade:
Air hockey, 30 x claw machines containing counterfeit pokemon plushies (failure guaranteed) 10 x 2p pushing machines with all bubblegum in the coin slots and a broken Operation Wolf.
I haven't had a local arcade in my area in 20+ years. 😢
I can't believe no one has said "Bless You" for sneezing
Police trainer was one of my favorites in my early teens
Sunday morning here in brazil and nothing beats having breakfast and watching game sack new video
I love how this series has progressed into 3d gamed. Its so good! Thanks Joe!
The Ring in Toy Fighter does have gameplay benefits. You probably missed it at 7:15 but you jan hop onto the ring to perform unique aerial maneuvers. You can also hit it to send a shockwave that can push the opponent towards you.
That settles it...we need a "Postcredit Scene Crunch"!
Keep the summer of sack going!
Jackie Chan - The Kung Fu Master and Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire are two incredibly fun and funny fighting games that were left in the arcades. if you havent already give em a shot^^
This channel continues to make me say "OMG I remember that game!!!!!". Thanks again Joe!
Btw: The wampa room in Star Wars was a call back to a cut scene from the movie.
The Hachoo segment is so good
I was glued to this one. Very rarely do I watch a video half hour long all the way through. Fantastic
Game Sack 4eva!
One of my favorite end sketches. Great episode Joe.
WingWar was aaaawesooome!
I remember playing the original Waverunner at Chuck E Cheese, along with Sega Super GT, Brave Firefighters and Star Wars Trilogy. Those were the days ❤
I had no idea the jet fighter game existed. And that’s why I love this channel.
Sega racing games just hit different man, nobody else did it better.
This show is like watching Maple Leaf wrestling back in the 80s. Such nostalgia
The Sack Is Back Jack Thanks Joe For All You Do
It blows my mind how many Dreamcast games Sega left on the table.
Another Sunday, another Game Shack episode. John uploads like clockwork.
Waverunner SP likely didn't get ported because CRI (same dev) had already created Surf Rocket Racers for Dreamcast _just_ before they released Waverunner SP.
great to see wingwar finally getting some coverage, seriously underrated game
Thank you for the timestamps/chapters!
@22:42 Quite possibly the first ever "fatality" in a fighting game
The skid ad at the end looks legit .lol great job 👍
Man, those water graphics on Aquajack are blowing my mind, especially for 1989!
"Local arcade"
Haven't seen one in existence around here since the 90s and anything left has turned into ticket milking machines.
If you want something like WaveRace on the Dreamcast, there is always Surf Rocket Racers.
Hippodrome was at the liquor store my mom would sometimes go to when i was really young. I never got to play it but alwayd remembered what it looked like
Zoom!’s gameplay is actually taken from an old arcade game called Amidar. The primary difference between Qix and Amidar is that Qix allows you to move freely instead of following an existing grid.
Wouldn't be surprised if those Wave Runner games found their way in a Yakuza game like how Judgment had Moto Race or whatever it was called which that games first time being playable at home.
I wake up and I see new game sack episode is up. Life is good! Love all your videos!
Oh man. I didn't spend too much time in arcades when I was younger, but I distinctly remember playing Daytona 2. Hardly anyone talks about it, so I'd forgotten it, or thought it was just a fever dream, lol
About time you covered Daytona USA 2.
I wish he'd mentioned Power Edition with its Challenge Course. Basically one lap through each course (in reverse order) with connecting tunnels between them.
Thanks for the list, Joe! I went to my local arcade today and played all of these!
No mention of Daytona USA 2 Power Edition?
Also congrats Joe on getting Model 3 emulation running. What a time to be alive.
Two of my favorites Elemental Gearbolt and One on this list. One also gets honorable mention as the hardest game to find on a Google search.
New Game Sack?! "Come on boy"
Wing Wars was a double cabinet at our mall arcade. 1. You could play VS with a friend 2. if you waggled the control stick left/right real fast and held a direction you would cut left or right across the screen real fast. If you masters this move you couldn't be beaten.
I *LOVED* that Star Wars Arcade game. I used to play it every time we went to the movies. The light saber parts were pretty fun with the joystick the arcade came with. I think it was more of a remake of the very first Star Wars Arcade rather than the 1993 one. I never played that one tho, looked cool.
I have that Hachoo! game on my OG XBOX. Never played it until now. Those throwing animations are hilarious! More beat em ups should have done that!
Obvs they should rate it at least a T, mostly for the fact that the ladies strip to their undies.
"So, did you get lucky last night?"
"Negative. It didn't go in."
I played Star Wars Trilogy Arcade a lot back in the day and loved it. The original arcade cabinet had a really long analog joysick that made the whole game feel quite satisfying. And it's difficult to explain well but it was easy to get used to the inverted vertical control for the light saber bonus stages because the joystick would put your wrists at a similar angle to the way you'd hold a light saber in real life.
Playing the game with little thumbsticks on a joypad, or with a mouse, would make it feel very different. It might be OK with the biggest flight stick you can find.
The FIRST Star Wars arcade game was a cursor moving game with wireframe graphics. The game you're referring to was the SECOND, less popular, Star Wars arcade. Trilogy was designed to trigger the memberberries from the first game.
Sunday morning with Game sack. What a beautyfull day !
Man I LOVED Wing War and Waverunner! Never got a chance to play it since my childhood, always been on the hunt to play it again. Waverunner is well known for the sit-down cabinet, for being a real Waverunner, and mimics the feel of it from the game.
Edit: Also forgot Star Wars Trilogy! Dude I remember beating EVERYTHING! Boba and Vader was a pain at first, but once you figured out how to beat them, it was a piece of cake (kinda).
Let’s go!!
Another Sunday morning,another GameSack episode.
My suggestion for the next left in the Arcade episode:
Spike out.
Mario kart arcade GP 1&2
F-ZERO AX and the monster ride version.
Gunmen Wars.
Time Crisis 5
Time Crisis:Crisis Zone.
Dead heat
Ace Driver
Alpine racer
Alpine racer 2
Ahhhhhh Game Sack, my favorite ASMR. I needed a good nap.
I've been playing Gradius V a lot lately, and that made me think about a potential idea for an episode (or a series even): *what about games that are as difficult as they are fun?*
Because for example, Gradius V would be a perfect example of that in my opinion.
I mean, it's hard as balls at times but it's never frustrating, you are always wanting to try again, and that's a clear sign of a brilliantly designed and executed game I think.
And when are we going to have a part 2 of "Games with awesome music"??? *That series has a heck ton of potential!!*
Anyways, thank you so much for keeping the sack going strong Joe.
Joe pays a lot more attention to music and sound than most other creators / (retro) video game reviewers (there's even Sound Sack and all + his own musical endeavours and VGM covers). He even did an entire episode on the worst sounding Genesis games, I would think another episode about actually good video game music would be long overdue by now!
Dancing Eye is basically 3D Gal Panic.
lol, first time i hear a Goalie has a number 10 on his shirt :P
The top-down, twin-stick tank shmup... I want to say it was called "Assault"... it had great controls and smooth gamplay. I can't say I have ever seen much like it.
Assault was the name. Fun game, and I was fascinated with rotation and scaling back in the day, and Assault had that in spades.
