Love this stuff. I'm a tech at an arcade and I've watched most of these and gotten quite a few ideas for cabs to get and restore for the arcade. We have a couple hundred right now so it's never too late to swap some cabs with some new games I learned about.
Nothing at all wrong with emulation. Glad to see it. Not everyone can afford the money or space to collect, own, and keep every console and game. Great collection of episodes!
I think people who hate emulation tend to be collectors who want to be "gatekeepers". maybe they get upset when they pay a fortune for a rare game and anybody can play it via emulation. 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly. And even if everyone had the room/money, there are only so many physical copies/machines in existence and too many gamers chasing them. So unless IP holders start allowing more re-releases, emulation and FPGAs are the path forward. Luckily both are improving all the time, specially in terms of dealing with input lag.
Nice to see all these episodes, and recognizing the titles that, since their appearance, would actually appear on consoles in collections or downloadable games.
I found GameSack only a year or so ago but have since binged every episode and continue to watch everything you guys put out. Great channel, cool format, A+ dadjoke humor -- thanks for being awesome!
I really love this channel! I learn something new about video games everytime I watch these videos! It's too bad some of these games didn't make it to a home console! Thanks for making UA-cam worth watching Game Sack! Keep up the good work! 👍
That Rastan opening theme is my jam. The first arcade game music I fell in love with. Also, seeing you open that Master System cartridge and plug in the chip was wild.
I usually sleep about four to five hours a day between my night shifts. These compilation videos are the perfect length for me to sleep to. Idk what it is about videogame videos, they are better than melatonin for sleep
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs has been playable on MAME since like 1999 or so (man I'm dating myself). Played through that so many times. That's another one absent from the Beat 'em Up bundle for some reason.
The crunch videos are the best literally it's what I fall asleep to could watch this stuff forever. Thanks Joe for all your hard work and thanks to anyone that helps you make these amazing videos.
Thanks for not viewing/spoiling the main boss of a game on your intro or main cover screen. A lot of UA-camrs seem to do that when it comes to old retro games, & I don’t approve of that regardless of how old the game is, these old games have more imagination that most new ones & id love to keep it like that so thanks lol
Willow is an excellent arcade game, I remember 1CC back at my local arcade, was a tough game, learning the time of the special power up move by holding down the button and releasing which special move u require, the pausing of time was my favourite special 😗😘😙😚 the film Willow was excellent too, u definitely need watch it too.
Blood Bros. was in an restaurant at a place called "The Center" in Fairbanks, Alaska that no longer exists. Cabal was at a truck stop between Jonesboro, AR and Blytheville, AR about a year later.
As much as I always love a new game sack episode, and it's always been one of my absolute favourite channels - it's got such a nice and calming vibe, in addition to all the humour and retro goodness - i do miss dave sometimes. It'd be nice to have him back occasionally. Even without him it's still easily one of the best channels of its type, or in general, for that matter.
I got my first arcade cabinet in '98, an American Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting cabinet. Over the years, I collected a number of Capcom CPS2 boards (in the low double-digits), but I ended up selling off all but three of them back in 2015 over fear of them suiciding; the three boards I kept I had Phoenixed so I won't have to worry about it any more. Last year, I was able to pick up a Japanese Sega Blast City cabinet. The monitor is amazing and is by far the best CRT I've ever seen.
People say that emulation is bad... then they look at the 500 different game cartridges they have in boxes, and they say "Do I actually play all of these?"
Not to mention that their box contains 500 game roms. I love my OG hardware too, and the games I play on my PC I’ve purchased multiple times over, now I just play the emulator for a better gameplay experience (especially 3ds and N64) Maybe it would be different if I never bought any games, but I’ve been giving Nintendo, Sega, and Sony my money for 34 years anyway. I’ve bought OoT, FF7, MgS, and Mario 64 at least 5 times each.
Oh that's I remember 🎮back late 80s to 90s in one bowling alley arcade that close. But didn't remember the no name so thanks so much 😎 for run and gun shooter Psycho-Nics Oscar so I have fun with power up but yes it hard
Great news for Tecmo Knight fans!! Hamster Arcade Archives has officially released their legit ports of the no longer arcade exclusive from 34 years ago to PS4 and Switch! YES!!!! :D
What a great thoroughly enjoyable gauntlet (which had too many console ports) thru history. Thanks for reuploading all these past episodes in a huge block.
Love the crunch videos, instead of having to search through playlists or depending on the randomness of UA-cam's auto play, I swear if I put any video game content on, the next video they put on will be season 16 of Avgn lol
SNK only produced PCBs for Metal Slug 5, SNK Vs Capcom Chaos and KOF 2003 in order to combat piracy during the games first months in the arcades. After a few months SNK made standard MVS cart versions of said games
2:38:39 Without the RAMBUS terminated the Nintendo 64 Control Deck wouldn't boot your game software properly. The Jumper Pak, or I should say, Terminator Pak, terminates the RAMBUS to make the Nintendo 64 Control Deck boot the software properly.
Crunch episodes are compilations of a certain topic all piled into one long juicy episode. The first Gama Sack episode was like 12 years ago. So yes all of these are old episodes.
I was so happy to see Dave in the last episode and it’s always good to see him in reruns.
Ya it was better with him on here. Wonder what he's doing now.
@@makaveli4205 his working hard at fedex while putting up with he’s wifey and kiddos
Well dang it, Dave needs to stop being such awesome dad and husband so he can get back to his real talent, mistreating Joe at the end of GS episodes.
Joe mistreats Dave it’s the other way around.
@@treedeblue No way, Dave deserves his beatings
Love the crunch idea! Left in the Arcade is one of my favorite episode series.
😉
My day has been horrible, so let's watch some Game Sack to get back in a good mood! Cheers Joe!!
hope you feel better : )
HAHA
Many blessings and good wishes to you @stelersteel and everyone who reads this! ❤🎉

What arcade?
I forgot how great it was when Joe and Dave recorded reviews together, talking back and forth. It's so awesome we can watch all of these any time.
With a name like Wolfram you should set your greatness meter higher brah. Just saying.
wtf does that even mean @@J-D-P
Rlly? I've always thought they have an extremely awkward rapport.
I don't like Dave
Awesome stuff, Joe. Thanks once again for all your efforts in keeping this channel alive.
Nothing at all wrong with emulation. Glad to see it. Not everyone can afford the money or space to collect, own, and keep every console and game. Great collection of episodes!
It's also a great means to preserve gaming history which in some instances would otherwise not be possible, particularly with Arcade games.
True, even if it's not going to be perfect in the long run.

So unless IP holders start allowing more re-releases, emulation and FPGAs are the path forward. Luckily both are improving all the time, specially in terms of dealing with input lag.
And with stuff like FPGA now, emulation can be pretty spot on. (I know most people don't consider FPGA emulation)
Nice to see all these episodes, and recognizing the titles that, since their appearance, would actually appear on consoles in collections or downloadable games.

Video was posted 40 minutes ago, and Dave shows up on my screen? I thought he was back… and was 10 years younger. Then I figured it out, lol.
I really love this channel! I learn something new about video games everytime I watch these videos! It's too bad some of these games didn't make it to a home console! Thanks for making UA-cam worth watching Game Sack! Keep up the good work! 👍
It's great to see Dave again, that man never age all these years
It's because he stopped doing game sack. Look at how old and beat up Joe looks these days 😅
@@rafaelraad555 Joe looks good. They both look good.
That Rastan opening theme is my jam. The first arcade game music I fell in love with. Also, seeing you open that Master System cartridge and plug in the chip was wild.
Ah.. Games Sack, I like it. Watch a marathon before going to work. Always something good from Joe and Dave.
I usually sleep about four to five hours a day between my night shifts. These compilation videos are the perfect length for me to sleep to. Idk what it is about videogame videos, they are better than melatonin for sleep

Maybe a beat ‘em up sequel at some point.
I'd love an episode, or maybe a mini episode, discussing some of these games that have since been released!
The crunch videos are the best literally it's what I fall asleep to could watch this stuff forever. Thanks Joe for all your hard work and thanks to anyone that helps you make these amazing videos.

Love the Left in the Arcade series, so many games I never came across in the wild. Also Dave's delivery in the comedic moments is truly hilarious.
Can't wait to put this beautiful ASMR on before I go to sleep tonight
Love adding another crunch to the playlist
This video has been invaluable as I build up my collection on my homemade arcade cabinet. So many gems I totally forgot about.
I love these looooong crunch episodes
Ah, the Siskel and Ebert of retro games! Thank you Joe and Dave!
LOVE THIS CHANNEL AND JOE/DAVE COMBO!!!
Gamesack videos are entertaining, educational, and they help us preserve a bit of history. More people should appreciate this show.
Look at my sack, game sack thats perfect go with that one
Willow is an excellent arcade game, I remember 1CC back at my local arcade, was a tough game, learning the time of the special power up move by holding down the button and releasing which special move u require, the pausing of time was my favourite special 😗😘😙😚 the film Willow was excellent too, u definitely need watch it too.
I've always enjoyed Game Sack, but its great to see Dave
Has he gotten younger?
Literally yes
"the dinosaurs really do look pissed off so you wont feel bad about killing them" xD i love dave so much
I was one of the six people who had an X-Band.
It worked pretty good when you could find a match.
Blood Bros. was in an restaurant at a place called "The Center" in Fairbanks, Alaska that no longer exists. Cabal was at a truck stop between Jonesboro, AR and Blytheville, AR about a year later.
I used to love "The Outfoxies". Almost nobody seems to remember that one.
i loved DJ Boys in the arcade back in the day
Thanks for keeping Game Sack running Joe and it is always nice to see Dave on the channel.
Dave shall never be forgotten.
Where is him now? Why isn't he on the recent videos?
Who?
@@Godsgood111 the other guy
@@stellarkym lol sorry I was having fun. He's not in recent videos due to needing more time for work/family.
There's always deepfake.
Ouch my man took a door to the face for a bit. Take your thumbs up :)
Dave’s back!! 🎉🎉🎉 So glad to see both you guys back in action together
This is a collection of reruns

We need a 3 hour long AAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Battle Circuit was released on the Capcom Beat Em Up Bundle on PS4.
Thanks for the crunch, captain.
Cadillac and dinosaurs has a special cameo, a Pre Blanka from streetfighter is in a tube in the back ground.
Fyi
😊
I'M FLORED WITH THE DOOR-TO-FACE SLAM. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
I wonder if that slimeballs rule ok was the inspiration for the night in the woods "gregg rulz ok"
Osman got a console release this year on ps4 and switch, it even has a physical release on both consoles.
Yeah it was supposed to come out today. Not sure why it’s not available yet
Check the description. Some games shown here have made it home since these episodes were made.

Good to see both you young lads together! Brilliant!
Pops arcade in downtown Minneapolis is the 1st time I played GI.JOE that was a good game
What a great thoroughly enjoyable gauntlet (which had too many console ports) thru history. Thanks for reuploading all these past episodes in a huge block.
I just realized that in Golden Axe Death Adder, the sword guy is Rastan lol
I want to play sick from work to watch this.
The big guy? That's not just some big guy. Thats Dutch! Single handedly killed a predator in the jungle lol
They reunite!!!🙃
G and G Ultimate on the PSP is my favorite one... there's ALOT going on each and every screen that passes ..
I really appreciate how you guys put such an amazing video together. Wow a bunch of games I never heard of. Amazing 🤩
Those who know know that the pcb collection episode took one bad mamma JAMMA to get footage
Dave looks like he's happily divorced and back on the show.
Thanks for the laugh.
@@DennisBolanos you're welcome 😊
Very interesting to see some of these games on current systems since you made the original videos.
Right??! Like Gate of Doom, Battle Circuit and a few others on Capcom's Beatemup collection and recently Tecmo Knight! :)
Man I'd love to see a port of the Mystic Warriors, or maybe an Exa Arcade re-make would be great.
It's Sack Time!
I actually downloaded a MAME emulator to play ninja baseball batman. :D great arcade game!!! wish it had been in the US
Crunch sack!
...
Wait, no, that sounds painful.
I again recommend you review whatever genre Sub-Terrania and choplifter are in
Love the crunch videos, instead of having to search through playlists or depending on the randomness of UA-cam's auto play, I swear if I put any video game content on, the next video they put on will be season 16 of Avgn lol
There goes my Weds night! Love it! Thanks game sack!
I thought you wrote wedding night at first lmao
I never realized it at the time, but watching these now, it's pretty obvious that Joe did the bulk of the work when Dave was still on the show
16:28 Capcom stealing Rodan sound effects
SNK only produced PCBs for Metal Slug 5, SNK Vs Capcom Chaos and KOF 2003 in order to combat piracy during the games first months in the arcades. After a few months SNK made standard MVS cart versions of said games
Over 3 hours of content! I'm in Sack-Heaven!
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was amazing.
I think that Alien vs Predator from Capcom was never ported to consoles, I miss that great game!!
I’d play as Rufio every time. Every time.
Yeah we liked Dave, The Michael Jackson Arcade game should hade had a Genesis port in my opination with the other the other Genesis game.
What a great compilation, this was really entertaining and informative
that is a background flip trick you can implement on the MAME, some games require this.
Hey Joe, I didn't know that you play as Alexey Pajitnov in the Tetris Movie 😂😂😂, thank you man for your videos.
Sack Crunching time!
How awesome is Game Sack though, from that first menacer episode all the way til now, 2 crude dudes with tudes
Omg XBand! My cousin had one and ran up the phone bill really bad lulzzzz
Game Sack Thanks For All Your Work
Ah, an old episode with Dave
Wait a minute
dave back for good
no
@@GameSack lol short and to the point
Did I miss Daytona 2, 3 and ScudRace.
I've watched this about 5 times now and still love seeing all these gems but didn't Vendetta get a release on PS4❤️❤️
Stay awesome
I had Bubsy on the SNES when it was released, and I liked it.
another excellent video guys! keep em coming :)
2:38:39 Without the RAMBUS terminated the Nintendo 64 Control Deck wouldn't boot your game software properly. The Jumper Pak, or I should say, Terminator Pak, terminates the RAMBUS to make the Nintendo 64 Control Deck boot the software properly.
Thank you for your new video I always appreciate them keep up with the awesome work
Ferda fresh
Dave's back!..... Oh wait 😭
Yeah! I love this G.S. marathon videos! MEGA POWERRRRRR!
So happy to see Dave, once again! BUT WAIT! This is an old episode! ??? What is happening!?
I have lots of Crunch videos like this. People love 'em for whatever reason. They just put 'em on in the background I think.
Crunch episodes are compilations of a certain topic all piled into one long juicy episode. The first Gama Sack episode was like 12 years ago. So yes all of these are old episodes.
Winning Run never got a home port, nobody ever talks about Winning Run.
Love you Joe :)
Great series, really enjoyed it, many thanks!
Superman doomsday is pretty good it’s the only good one I can think of .
