You know, on Choplifter you can eject the hostages from your helicopter after you've been hit. They don't have to all die. Just keep pressing the attack button after you're hit and they'll parachute out one by one. You can get about 3 or 4 of them out before you crash depending on your altitude when you take the hit.
Nice trick it worked,never knew that before, in the master system version the hostages fly away in little jets and in the NES version the hostages jump out with little parachutes just like in the Arcade version except you don't use the attack button to do that you use the button that changes the chopper's direction,nice parallax scrolling in both versions though.
Joe I just wanted to tell you... THANK YOU. I know I've told you this many times but I'm so thankful that you have kept the GameSack brand A-Goin! And seriously, you're doing an awesome job solo and just wanted to tell you as someone from the outside looking in, Games ARE the Meat and Potatoes of the video but in all honesty, I HIGHLY ENJOY YOUR TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF SAID SYSTEMS/GAMES.... I really think your strengths lie in your artistic creativity and by gollie keep on creating..... much appreciation from Chattanooga, TN!
My dad collects arcade machines because he likes playing them, but also because he likes to collect them. I'm glad for that fact because it really showed me how deep this hobby/fandom can go. Seriously. If you don't know much about arcade machines... the whole rabbit hole goes waaaaay deeper than you probably think. Good thing channels like Game Sack devote time to preserving these works of art.
Sold 90% of my games and consoles and used the cash to buy pcbs when I got an arcade cab for my 40th birthday. I'm never going back to consoles! Nice collection joe.
My consciousness transcended time and space when you pulled that master system cartridge out and hooked it up to that adapter and power source to play it. The joy of technology. If you understand how things work you can really play around with stuff to work magic like that.
The reason for the labels on your Ghouls ‘n Ghosts pcb is that is was converted from either a SF II Champion Edition or Hyper Fighting pcb using modified roms to work on those later CPS-1 boards. It was a much more affordable solution than buying an original early CPS-1 Ghouls ‘n Ghosts pcb since the SF2 pcbs are far more common.
@@A_Man_In_His_Van I srtill watch and enjoy Nerd videos and they're still great, but even James would have a hard time competing with the video quality that Joe puts in. The editing, sound mixing..even the animation that Joe does...he's hard to beat.
Definitely my fave episode in the A.D.(After Dave) era of Game Sack so far. At least I learn something new about Arcade PCBs here. Thx for this episode, Joe.
I am glad that *one person* asked you to cover arcade games again. Always find it interesting seeing arcade games played at home in different fashions.
Hnnng! That non emulated "Mission One" sound on Shinobi, that's exactly how I remembered! Playing it on MAME sounded so different and I didn't know why!
Theres an emulated arcade Shinobi on the Sonic Ultimate Genesis collection on the PS3 & Xbox 360 and it has correct sounding voices in it. The main reason I bought that game disc.
He's comparing the wrong versions of Shinobi, in MAME the one to compare to is 'shinobi5'. Looks like he's running regular 'shinobi' in MAME which is the first version of the game.
I've watched gamesack from the beginning but this was the episode Joe really found his stride. The comedy seems genuine, no more stage fright. I miss Dave like you wouldn't believe but this is the first ep where Joe alone seems great.
The best and easiest way to play arcade games at home is with the MiSTer FPGA. It's true, cycle-accurate FPGA hardware emulation at its finest. The library of arcade games and consoles is continuously growing thanks the big community developing on it. You can't go wrong with a MiSTer.
Thanks for once again making Sunday mornings more pasable for all us PAL players. As always, interesting content and amazing editing. Keep up the good work!
Welp, you must hear the sound of a "System 16B" Shinobi machine in MAME, rather than the unfiltered "System 16A". The System 16B MAME driver, outputs the sound through the correct analog audio filters. The sound is perfectly duplicated... Oh! and you must use MAME 0.218 that came out right AFTER this video. Looks like someone in the MAME devteam is Game Sack's fan!
This was a really cool episode, I know next to nothing about the workings of arcades so this was cool to see. X-men vs Street Fighter will never not be beautiful
Fantastic episode. Little touches like the way you give the games a few seconds of gameplay with no commentary at the end of a segment, so we can appreciate the sound and visuals uninterrupted, are what separate your channel from a lot of others. You really know what you're doing. I have a Sega Astro City cab with a CPS2, Street Fighter Zero 2 Gold and Dimahoo. I'm torn between getting a Mister for it or more boards, but I'll probably end up getting Gunbird 2 or a PGM with Dodonpachi DOJ Black and Espgaluda. Of all the games and consoles I have, the arcade ones give me the most joy.
Cps2 is no a problem anymore. In April 2016, Eduardo Cruz, Artemio Urbina and Ian Court announced the successful reverse engineering of Capcom's CP System 2 security programming, enabling the clean "de-suicide" and restoration of any dead games without hardware modifications
This sounds awesome. I have a dead street fighter zero 2 cab with a dead pcb. Currently I play it with a pi2jamma. But phoenixing the cps2 sounds like a much better alternative.
Great video, dunno how I managed to miss this one seeing as I love me some arcade action. I got around 130 boards and 39 cabs now so you got a bit of catching up to do. It did help starting collecting in the mid-90s though, prices in the last few years specifically have gone crazy. I blame these bloody youtubers for showing people that they can play arcade games at home!! Funny thing is, EDGE magazine issue 3 waaaay back in 1993 did a feature on superguns and how you COULD play arcade games at home, and that was my start. Picked up a supergun and Bubble Bobble. Board still works and is a very treasured possession. It pleases me greatly to see you enjoying your favourites (Choplifter is awesome!), I hope you manage to obtain more of them!
Joe: "If you don't have that..." Me: You can go straight to hell. 😁 Joe: "...well, you won't have any audio." Me: Oh ☹️ Later... Joe: "The other 12 people - they can just go straight to hell." Me: yippee 😁😁😁!
Cool vid, and nice to see the collection. Got four full-sized cabs myself, ranging from good-to-great condition. Killer Instinct, Tekken Tag Tournament, Shinobi (of course), and Mortal Kombat II. Had them for years, so they didn't cost me an arm and a leg, though they weren't exactly dirt cheap either. I scooped them up back when arcades were gasping their dying breath. That's about the extent of my arcade collection though.
Great episode, Joe! I love arcade collecting! I started with a Neo Geo MVS 4 slot machine at 14 and the bug bit me. Now 7 years later, I have 9 machines and over 60 PCBs. Arcade gaming and racing games are my biggest passions in gaming, so naturally I love arcade racers. Apparently I'm the sole owner of a Konami Racing Jam Super Deluxe machine and it's my pride and joy. Recently the Konami Cobra hardware has been acting up, but emulation doesn't work in MAME so it's the real deal or nothing else. Electrical issues can be annoying, but that's part of the whole, raw experience of authentic arcade gaming. Cheers!
Whoa, you were able to start collecting PCBs when you were 14? I envy you! That was around the same age I got seriously interested in retrogaming (I'm currently 20), and yet I haven't been able to get any PCBs yet...
Nice PCB arcade game collection. In the past i considered starting a PCB arcade game collection but due to soaring prices and having to pay someone to fix any failing parts i decided to buy arcade collections on various home video game consoles i know not the same but good enough for me.
The chips had their markings scratched off as an anti-copying measure to make it harder for people to reverse engineer and recreate bootleg copies of the board. Of course, it probably wouldn't stop someone who is very determined, but it would make it harder at least.
on the CPS2 boards you can now recover the game if the battery dies and it commits suicide Modern Vintage gamer just did a video on that topic go check it out
Awesome Joe. Would love to own some arcades. Only one I recently got was the Arcade One Up Pac-man cocktail. Not the same as the original but anything is better than none.😆 So when is Game Sack going in Tate mode? 😂
Yeah, if I were independently wealthy I'd love to build my own personal arcade. Of course then you have to worry about maintaining these old machines, and cost of powering these old machines. I think MAME/emulation cabinets are a good middle-ground, the emulation is good enough for most people and it's far less hassle.
Nice...Rastan and Shinobi were two of my earliest favorites. Used to head down to the burger place down the road to play Rastan, and Shinobi was at the grocery store. Used to try to scrimp and save money to play all the time.
Wow this was a well made video.Loved that you showed the gameplay man. :) Those old arcade boards put a smile on my face.Its too bad that they can be finicky and stop working but a lot of love and dedication was put in to them.I will always remember the good times I had with arcades as a kid.
Nice PCB collection! Galloping Ghost does have Astyanax, I just posted an arcade tour video on my channel last week of their current lineup. Haven't been to Denver in a couple years, didn't know Buy Back Games was gone, RIP.
Great video Joe! You’ve got an awesome assortment of games! I’ve got arcade cabinets in my basement. Games I own are 2 linked dedicated Cruis’n Exotica’s, dual linked Time Crisis 3, Marvel vs Capcom 2, NFL BLITZ 2000/NBA Showtime 2000, and my favorite arcade game of all time NBA Maximum Hangtime
I've always fantasized about owning certain arcade machines, but never the PCB boards. When I was a kid, I always wanted a Double Dragon & Bad Dudes arcade machine in my bedroom. Of course, the amount of space they take up is unreal.
Those lines in Rastan look sort of like vertical scanlines. I don't think it looks bad... Maybe you should run it in TAAAAAAAAATE MODE!! Haha.. I LOL'd at that in your video.. and I never LOL at anything. I laughed too. PS, say hi to Dave for us.
A lot of Arcade companies scratched off the markings on the chips so they would be harder to bootleg. In other cases (like CAVE who used IGS chips for their games), they were embarrassed about using Taiwan-based chips.
@@techguyml No they didn't what? In the early days a lot of games had off the shelf parts, so they just scratched off the markings on the chip so it give them a little more time of having the game in the arcade without worry about it being bootlegged. Then in the late 80s and the 90s many games had their custom chip markings scratched off (in this case of ganbare gonta 2) it was a Mitchell game, but it used Data East chips. Hard to say why they did this, but it was done. There are even some instances of game companies scratching off just the production date of the chip because they didn't want people to know they used old chips.
I own a full size arcade game: Power Drift by Sega. I got it for an absolute steal back in 2008. Sadly, the monitor has died (well, mostly died. I can still kinda play it, but everything is blue), and fixing it will cost over twice what I paid for the machine. It's an obscure Sega game that no one cares about, but I just love those super-scaler graphics. It weighs a ton and takes up a lot of space!
Joe, I recently discovered that Spotify had an artist channel for Zuntata. As a fine connoisseur of video game music, are there any official game music artist/channels on Spotify that you recommend?
@@yarharfiddledede The term soccer comes from England historically in the first place and saying "zed" instead of "zee" doesn't make any sense. It's "ay" "bee" "see", not "ay" "bed" "sed".
I don’t have any stand alone PCBs or arcade cabinets, but I do have an extensive AES/MVS collection I like to believe is my arcade collection. Great video!
I only own one PCB and it's the original RAIDEN shooter by Seibu Kaihatsu. I lived overseas in 1990 and it was the only arcade machine our local pizza place had, therefore I played the snot out of it. Also, it's presented in TATE MODE, which looks cool on a modern LCD TV flipped vertically.
Lol I never understand the overseas people hating on saying "Z" instead of "Zed." You don't say Yed instead of Y over there do you? You don't? Nuff zed 😏
Hey Joe, I just want to say thank you for the effort you put into your subtitles on your videos.
Gamesack is forty-seven times better than ANY other retro game channel -- _maybe even forty-eight times!_
Oh I get it, now. Lol.
Forty-EIGHT MEGA POWER!
46 maybe.
I´ve come to the same conclusion...
True , gamesak , as a lot of people , still live at the golden age of arcades , cartridges and cassettes consoles .
Back in the day I used to love Saturday morning cartoons.
Now I look forward to a new Game Sack episode with the same enthusiasm haha

That extra board on the Astyanax is a "filter board" it helps filter "noise" from the signal.
I was about to make this comment :) I usually take them off. I think it was probably something they had to add for FCC compliance?

Just an idea. Maybe make a 3d printed case to protect the PCB's. You could even have the logos printing into them. They'd look so cool

You are a hero, man! The shock hazards involved in this process keep me miles away from this Frankenstein's creation! But, hey! KUDOS!!!
Joe has a big house, surely he has room in it somewhere for a real stand-up JAMMA cabinet. It would give him somewhere to put that Astyanax marquee.

Proving the Arcade message WRONG was definitely a thing.
I always wished Rastan would have been ported on the Genesis as a kid. Loved it at the arcade. Great video
Joe, I have only one question about gunforce 2... does it contain a “raucket lauwncher?
Excuse me, it's clearly a Rock-It Lawnchair
No, because it's a "Rocket lounger".
Racket lancher
Rahwkit Lawnchur?
no.

That's awesome you own Rastan! That's one of my all-time favorite arcade games!
Holy Crap! Thanks JOE! Did you really hear my request or did you have this planned?
Can i just tell ya how much i love this channel!!?, man oh man, what a great episode, thank you!.
A lot of Arcade companies scratched off the markings on the chips so they would be harder to bootleg. In other cases (like CAVE who used IGS chips for their games), they were embarrassed about using Taiwan-based chips.
Mahoujanai no they didn’t
@@techguyml No they didn't what? In the early days a lot of games had off the shelf parts, so they just scratched off the markings on the chip so it give them a little more time of having the game in the arcade without worry about it being bootlegged. Then in the late 80s and the 90s many games had their custom chip markings scratched off (in this case of ganbare gonta 2) it was a Mitchell game, but it used Data East chips. Hard to say why they did this, but it was done. There are even some instances of game companies scratching off just the production date of the chip because they didn't want people to know they used old chips.
I own a full size arcade game: Power Drift by Sega. I got it for an absolute steal back in 2008. Sadly, the monitor has died (well, mostly died. I can still kinda play it, but everything is blue), and fixing it will cost over twice what I paid for the machine. It's an obscure Sega game that no one cares about, but I just love those super-scaler graphics. It weighs a ton and takes up a lot of space!
Joe, I recently discovered that Spotify had an artist channel for Zuntata. As a fine connoisseur of video game music, are there any official game music artist/channels on Spotify that you recommend?
Zuntata... jesus Taito was on the ball having those guys in-house.
great episode Joe .. i have a soft spot in my heart for arcade versions of games
Holy crap. Respect to you for your efforts man, I'm going to just stick with emulation! 😁
Seeing you own a CPS2 system made me really happy, especially one of my absolute favorite childhood arcade game. Thanks for sharing. :D
Yeah imagine a game called "Z Soccer" in the US.

😂😂
Z Soccer: Freedom Fries Edition
Zack
i prefer zed football, thank you
@@yarharfiddledede
The term soccer comes from England historically in the first place and saying "zed" instead of "zee" doesn't make any sense. It's "ay" "bee" "see", not "ay" "bed" "sed".
I loved the skit, I know it isn't true, but in my heart it is
7:50 - some chicks clothes come flying off! Score another point for Astynax.
Must be Kevlar fabric or something, takes several swings of the axe, lol.
I don’t have any stand alone PCBs or arcade cabinets, but I do have an extensive AES/MVS collection I like to believe is my arcade collection. Great video!
Joe, I farted blood. Is this bad?
Not if it made you smile.
@@GameSack yes chef
I only own one PCB and it's the original RAIDEN shooter by Seibu Kaihatsu. I lived overseas in 1990 and it was the only arcade machine our local pizza place had, therefore I played the snot out of it. Also, it's presented in TATE MODE, which looks cool on a modern LCD TV flipped vertically.
Lol I never understand the overseas people hating on saying "Z" instead of "Zed." You don't say Yed instead of Y over there do you? You don't? Nuff zed 😏
This makes me want more playing with sacks episodes
