Game Sack WURM: Journey to the Center of the Earth for the NES. Really late title that is part vertical shmup, part horizonal shmup, part first person "shooter" and part platform adventure action game like Golgo 13 (many people from the first Golgo worked on this game). It's a mess, and not great but very interesting.
Another great game for this series, "Henry Hatsworth Puzzling Adventure for Nintendo DS. Awesome, half platformer, half PUZZLE game! Truly unique an dowuld fit this series perfectly! And it's really really good. hack and slash action platformer and 1/2 puzzle game with blocks. Another great one, "monster Tale" For NIntendo DS. It is 1/2 metroidvania platformer adventure, and 1/2 monster pet raising and leveling and the monsters al level up and assist u too and u can feed them down in their home on the bottom screen. Reaslly amazing game.
*ActRaiser* has that crazy combination of action platformer alongside a build-a-city simulator. Luckily, it's a great game and the two genres work surprisingly well together.
Quintet was great at doing that sort of thing, many of their games had multiple types gameplay , kind of like the Dark cloud games, action RPG and town building.
Yes, Actraiser one of my favorite games. The European version got an extra mode to play the action platform levels only for those who don't like the sim part. It is nice to have.
"Brøderbund" is not an actual word in any language but is a somewhat loose translation of "band of brothers" into a mixture of Danish, German, and Swedish.
Spore. It starts off as you controlling a creature, then it's an strategy game, then when you start to understand that they ditch it and throw you a different kind of strategy game. Then space, where you can't even see your creature. Also Evoland, which sticks to RPGs and I understand the concept but still it's kind of weird. And finally, the first Act Raiser. Action platformer plus real-time strategy.
Hybrid Heaven on N64 is a good example. It's a 3D third-perspective game like Resident Evil... until you bump into an enemy. Then it's an RPG-wrestling hybrid, where you use turn-based RPG menus to fight the monsters with your wrestling, boxing and kickboxing moves. You're also a blue mage, so the only way to learn new moves is for the monsters to do their wrestling moves on you. It looks really weird to see this skinless broccoli monster pick you up and do a power bomb, then while you're still on the ground, put you in a Boston crab.
Wayforward games look good but they almost always lack something vital which would allow me to enjoy them. They're stylistic yet empty at the same time, like shovelware with good art direction
Wow I am blown away at the footage of the Toy Story game. Not only does look stellar but the frame rate is unbelievable! Wowza! See, this is why I freakin love this channel. Only these guys would take the time to present a game like this. I'd always look past Toy Story when game shopping & not once ever gave it a chance. I need to get my hands on this little gem. Thanks Sacks!
If you are interested in the game, check out GameHut. It's a channel owned by the creator of that and many Traveler Tales games and goes into detail about how they made it possible. It's a really great channel.
@@CrossoverGameReviews Ok sweet, I'll totally check it out. I really like Travelers Tales & especially seeing the behind-the-scenes on video games. Thanks for the recommendation. Yesterday I actually watched the "making of Axiom Verge" DVD that came included in the ultimate edditon of the game & it was AWESOME.
His channel really makes me appreciate how much of a genius programmer he is. The way he managed to get a full FMV intro on a regular genesis cartridge for Sonic 3D blast, not the Sega CD and not requiring special chips, is incredible. That should be impossible you'd think. When I was a kid playing it back in the day I didn't really get why that was such a special thing. His Directors Cut of Sonic 3D Blast is on the steam workshop for the genesis classics collection if anyone wants to try it. Also it's available on sites like Sonic Retro to play in emulators. Fixes all the issues with the game. Mind you I loved it back in the day anyway, though I know I'm in the minority.
Earthworm Jim 2 is another good candidate for this category. It's all over the place, as far as game design goes. Same with a little game called MDK2 on the Dreamcast. Which was jumped between 3 or 4 different genres all throughout the game.
I see the focus was more on games that combined two genres than games that changed it up every level like Battletoads or Earthworm Jim. Good call, IMO.
Vice: Project Doom on Nes is a great game with side scrolling platforming (and even cut-scenes) similar to the Ninja Gaiden games, but also has overhead driving stages and shooting range style stages.
Obligatory, but Golvellius definitely counts, seeing as how it's an overhead-view Zelda-style game that suddenly becomes either a side-scrolling platformer or an auto-scrolling overhead shooter as soon as you enter a dungeon. Falcom's Star Trader mixes RPG and shmup in a different way than was covered in this episode. The Adventure of Little Ralph on PS1 is a Ghosts 'n Goblins-style platformer, but with random fighting game-style bosses thrown in from time to time (and it's also a really damned good game!). Speaking of fighting games, Vanillaware is pretty good at mixing fighting game-style combat into RPGs. Just look at Princess Crown, Odin Sphere, and/or Muramasa. And for an obscure totally-out-there title, I recently bought an MSX game called "Cosmic Psycho." The disks are moldy and need to be cleaned, so I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it's apparently a hentai visual novel... with shmup stages mixed in. Hopefully, I'll get to see how that turned out sometime in the near-ish future! Because I am definitely very curious.
Namco did a RPG thing in point blank. The random battles were levels from the arcade version. You used the gun to move around the map you just shot where you wanted them to walk to
My wife and I have watched your show every other Saturday night for nearly half a decade now. It makes me look forward to non-payday weekends. I'm sure you're familiar with the Golgo 13 games on NES. They combined side scrolling action, horizontal shooters, first person shooters, swimming and racing.
Giant Citizen Kabuto: Its a 3rd person shooter, plus a sim city type contruction game and a game racer and a Kaiju destruction simulator, all in one game (not joking). Use it in the next episode! Regards from Argentina
I liked this episode so much but allow me to bring another player to the table as the pinacle of the games that can't decide what they want to be.... yeah…. you guessed it right I'm talking about GreenDog!
The Guardian Legend is one of those games I booted up once to see what it even was and wanted to come back to at a later date. Maybe that later date is now.
This channel has and always will be my favorite game review channel on You Tube. I'm so grateful that they still have the passion to make new videos still because it's definitely the one You Tube channel that I actually have the Notification Bell on. Great job Joe and Dave!!!
You guys covered my favorite one which is Blaster Master? Does Fester's Quest get an honorable mention for its changes in gameplay like the 1st person maze levels it switches to? Do games like Lifeforce count where it goes from horizontal to vertical shooter? Goonies II shifts from side scrolling to 1st person dungeon crawler too lol. So many mentions. Great episode guys!
My favorite hyrbid game, based on one of my favorite cartoons, is Tintin in Tibet. First stage is a multi layered side scroller, next level is a swim stage, next is a side scroller this time where you run back and forth doing errands, next you are in a hotel going up and down the floors to talk to different people etc. Sometimes you have your straight forward side scrolling stage, but these are only about 1/4th of the game. One level has you autorun down a slope while avoiding obstacles, and another has you scaling a mountain side where you need to keep your stamina in mind. And the sequel, Tintin and the Temple of the Sun has even more variety, with one level having you traverse by kanoo while fighting aligators, one level has you riding the claws of a condor down a mountain while avoiding everything from falling rocks to cliffside branches, and yet another level has you run towards the screen running away from an avalanche. The Tintin games are, in my book, the kings of gameplay variety. I still prefer the less technically advanced GameBoy Colour versions, as in the SNES versions they have stuck a little bit too close to the original comic artstyle, so interactable objects and platforms can sometimes be hard to distinguish from those that are just part of the background.
I'd also throw in basically any of the James Bond games as most of them had some combination of first/third person shooting, rail shooting, combat driving, skiing, etc.
I like it when they zoom in on the pixels and you can see the scanlines. I have this theory that bad games become great games if you just look at them really close up. So, keep blowing up those pixels.
I don't know if you would count it as a true hybrid game, but I am a huge fan of The Goonies II on NES. Most of it was really fun platforming action, but then it would switch to a first person view with typical commands like GO, PUNCH, TOOL, and the like. The first person exploration I thought was really fun because you would find items you could use in those sections like ladders and keys, plus you could find different weapons and armor like a boomerang or a helmet. I still play The Goonies II at least once a year and enjoy it just as much as ever.
Don't hear people talk about that game often! I have some nostalgia for it, but I never could go far in the game since I couldn't read back when I played it! Will have to go back to it now that you reminded me of it!
It's always really cool seeing that some game devs like gamehut have their own UA-cam channel and basically make behind the scenes videos, I enjoy his stuff, the way they used hardware is fascinating.
Joe, here's a tip about Final Lap Twin: In the Quest mode, if you want to run away from battles, you need to have better car stats than the opponent that challenges you.
About Mr. Bones, the game developers cant decide if they want a side scrolling platformer, or a musical interactive, or a shooter, or a joke teller, or an overhead/underhead? view kind of game
I quite like Urban Strike as a multi-genre game. It has the isometric helicopter shooting levels but then does a bit of a Blaster Master and you land your helicopter to do run-and-gun stages too.
I’d personally prefer that you called the episode “Games That Contain Multiple Established Gameplay Genres,” because many of the games depicted DO know what they want to be, and that’s a multigenre game. When I think of games that don’t know what they want to be, I think of multigenre games that have one or more of their genres undercooked.
I'm so glad you included a mention to Mr JB's channel! Thanks Also, idea for future episode: Demo scene for several consoles! It could actually be a special edition of the Hardware Pushers series.
Another great episode, my favourite multi genre title is Giants: Citizen Kabuto - mix of TPS, strategy, racing and Godzilla simulator and have funny, great story too - this game is so awesome
Vice: Project Doom (NES) - A Ninja Gaiden clone featuring top-down shooter Spy Hunter style stages & rail shooter stages Xexyz (NES) - Part platformer, part shoot-em-up. The final boss stage is like a 3D shooter section
Video games, work, working out, friends, avgn and game sack are all good when you need to get your mind off the shady bz. Finding another girl and taking in what you learned is the key. Oh and never forget to wear a hat! Check out the late great Patrice O'neal for his outlook on women. Helps a lot. Good luck to ya!
One multi-genre game I would recommend is "Mr. Bones" released exclusively for the Sega Saturn! It's a mind-screw of a game from a story and gameplay perspective, but you won't be bored. Give it a shot!
What are some other good games that can't decide what they wanna be?
Game Sack WURM: Journey to the Center of the Earth for the NES. Really late title that is part vertical shmup, part horizonal shmup, part first person "shooter" and part platform adventure action game like Golgo 13 (many people from the first Golgo worked on this game). It's a mess, and not great but very interesting.

Also ACTRAISER for SNES! It is 1/2 action sword platformer, and 1.2 town bulding SIM game!
duhmez great recommendations. Both actraisers and Henry hatsworth are great games to boot
I'll say Starfox Assault or Megaman X7
Is it a comedy show? A show about games? A show about manly men doing manly things? A show about sacks?
its a show about GREENDOG
It's a show about puns.
Sherbert's World of Schlock mainly about sacks.
It's a show about Snatcher too, don't forget about that.
It's just a show with acting so bad that is good.
*ActRaiser* has that crazy combination of action platformer alongside a build-a-city simulator.
Luckily, it's a great game and the two genres work surprisingly well together.
Quintet was great at doing that sort of thing, many of their games had multiple types gameplay , kind of like the Dark cloud games, action RPG and town building.
Yes, Actraiser one of my favorite games. The European version got an extra mode to play the action platform levels only for those who don't like the sim part. It is nice to have.
Beat me to it, but yeah, I agree. That's the first game I thought of when I saw the title.
But the sequel, ActRaiser 2 was "100% Pure Action and Excitement!".
Dave's shirt cant decide what it wants to be. Is it a Metroid shirt? Is it a Mario shirt? YOU decide!
Looks like Super Mario Crossover to me.
It's a club Nintendo shirt and requires the purchase of 16 Wii games to own, Nintendo mega fans only, sorry Joe.
The newer stop motion opening is just the best. Gives the series an extra layer of polish above and beyond.
Ｔｈｅ Ａｄｖｅｎｔｕｒｅｓ ｏｆ Ｂａｙｏｕ Ｂｉｌｌｙ

I'm pretty sure that awful and repetitive "The Adventures of Bayou Billy!" chant will haunt me in my sleep tonight.
Ｔｈｅ Ａｄｖｅｎｔｕｒｅｓ ｏｆ Ｂａｙｏｕ Ｂｉｌｌｙ doesn't quite hold a candle to GrrrrreeEEEEeenn DAWG, in my opinion.

"Brøderbund" is not an actual word in any language but is a somewhat loose translation of "band of brothers" into a mixture of Danish, German, and Swedish.
My neighbors are keeping me up with their BDSM next door. Thanks for giving me something to listen to over their weird sex noises.
Shovel-Chin living in an apartment sucks

I think being too loud after a certain hour is illegal....
You should Join in on that.
@@lionoh - why? BDSM is a shitty meme.
The sound effects you use when you put the games in the systems is the most satisfying thing ever. Still.
Best reto gaming review show! watch y'all religiously

Yeah Project Doom rocks!

I actually came down to comment Vice Project Doom as well!

You forgot NBA2K18 - it doesn't know if it wants to be a basketball game or a gamble game or a casino or bank that you can't withdraw your money!
(in a weird electric voice) THE ADVENTURES OF BAYOU BILLY
Spore. It starts off as you controlling a creature, then it's an strategy game, then when you start to understand that they ditch it and throw you a different kind of strategy game. Then space, where you can't even see your creature.
Also Evoland, which sticks to RPGs and I understand the concept but still it's kind of weird.
And finally, the first Act Raiser. Action platformer plus real-time strategy.
The Bayou Billy comics that were published as a tie-in to the game actually retain some decent value. They were drawn by Amanda Conner.
Hybrid Heaven on N64 is a good example. It's a 3D third-perspective game like Resident Evil... until you bump into an enemy. Then it's an RPG-wrestling hybrid, where you use turn-based RPG menus to fight the monsters with your wrestling, boxing and kickboxing moves.

“Bayou Billy? You’d better’ve saved the receipt!”
I have always liked this game.
I feel like Bayou Billy is underrated
A good recent example of Nier: Automata. Shoot 'em up, 3D action brawler, bullet hell, RPG. Lot of stuff going on in that one.
Holy crap Final Lap Twin!! Ive been trying to remember that game forever.Thanks guys \m/
Wow I am blown away at the footage of the Toy Story game. Not only does look stellar but the frame rate is unbelievable! Wowza! See, this is why I freakin love this channel.

YEAH IS RIGHT.
Good to see you again Moka 👍
@Maruko Chan 99 Likewise!
I can tell you what Back To The Future III could not decide to be: a good game.
Love these Game Sack episodes, hope you guys keep doing it for a long time.
If you make another episode like this you can't forget the undisputed king of genre defying games BATTLETOADS!
I'm glad they mentioned blaster master zero. Zero 2 was also excellent, with new gameplay mechanics, and story.
Earthworm Jim 2 is another good candidate for this category. It's all over the place, as far as game design goes. Same with a little game called MDK2 on the Dreamcast. Which was jumped between 3 or 4 different genres all throughout the game.

Shadows of the Empire could be good for this...you have racing, platforming, space battles, etc
Love your show, guys! And absolutely love the stop motion segments, always have. Keep on rockin’ rock Sacks!
Namco did a RPG thing in point blank. The random battles were levels from the arcade version. You used the gun to move around the map you just shot where you wanted them to walk to
Never heard of CrossFire but now I have the 90s toy game theme song stuck in my head.

The Adventures of Bayou Billy (muffled voice). Lol.
Loved this game. 👍
I know you already covered it in a previous episode, but Xexyz is another good example of a title with mixed genres.
I freaking love Gamesack!
for me is the game with the most variety "robin hood: prince of thieves" (NES) nad i love this game...
Awesome another game sack.
Need to binge the channel again sometime
I liked this episode so much but allow me to bring another player to the table as the pinacle of the games that can't decide what they want to be.... yeah…. you guessed it right I'm talking about GreenDog!
You also gotta mention:
Battletoads
Ape Escape
and Contra 3
THE ADVENTURES OF BAYOU BILLY! Best UA-cam channel.
Konami must have been trying to cash in on Crocodile Dundee's popularity.
Most people now probably don't know who that character is.
Great show as always fellas thanks. The 3 SNES Super Star Wars games had loads of different modes in them too. All the best.
With the exception of the super zoomed in view in the exploration stages, that Sigma Star game looks awesome.
I loved the RPG in Final Lap Twin (and World Court Tennis) back when I got both with my TG16!
The Guardian Legend is one of those games I booted up once to see what it even was and wanted to come back to at a later date.
Maybe that later date is now.
Who needs sleep? I'm watching Game Sack!
Right?! I've been binge watching their episodes (yet again) for the last hour. Needed a break from playing Skyrim (yet again)
i bet you'll asleep right now...

I can't wait for the eventual Shane Dawson documentary of Joe and Dave of Game Sack.
Love the new intro Sacks!
One of the reasons I stay up late on Saturdays night every other week :D

Slappin the Saturday night Sack!
Whenever there's a new Game Sack episode, I feel the need to sing it, 80s hair metal style.
Game Saayyaaack, YEAH!
I just love your show guys! I’ve been watching old episodes over and
Over waiting for a new one. Woo hoo! Thanks for making my day.
Nier Automata pulls it off very well. I enjoyed the shooting sections and hacking sections. But you spend to long as 9s.
Blaster Master is the best NES game ever. Fite me. Also, Blaster Master Zero and Zero 2 are both on Steam now.
Nobody cares if it's your favorite or not
Kinda like I-25 can't decide if it's a road or a parking lot.
I love Game Sack. Its worth waiting a while to finally see such a great and fun episode each time
What could it be more happy when Game Sack review two of my favorite game: Thunder Force II and The Guardian Legend!
That line “They drop fully cooked turkeys”.... LMFAO
another great video, Dave & Joe!
Yes! The Guardian Legend is one of the best of all time!
Thanks for giving it love
hello and welcome to gam-
THE ADVENTURES OF BAYOU BILLY
Always a highlight of Sunday to wake up and watch the show.
Blaster Master Zero is an AMAZING title! I fell in love with it and it's so worth the price!
I felt it was too easy. Especially compared to the original.
Great episode, guys. Love it.
My favorite hyrbid game, based on one of my favorite cartoons, is Tintin in Tibet.

Technocop on Sega Genesis. There's a game that was split between combat driving and terrible gorey combat platforming.
“While you lie down and take a nap.” Lol!
I don't know if you would count it as a true hybrid game, but I am a huge fan of The Goonies II on NES. Most of it was really fun platforming action, but then it would switch to a first person view with typical commands like GO, PUNCH, TOOL, and the like.

Joe, here's a tip about Final Lap Twin: In the Quest mode, if you want to run away from battles, you need to have better car stats than the opponent that challenges you.
So, Final Lap Twin and World Court Tennis are the grandaddies of Golf Story but with racing and tennis instead of golf years before Golf Story. Neat.
Would you guys ever consider shooting not on a green screen again? I love the different locations from your older reviews.
Life Force. Contra. Rescue: The Embassy Mission. Three Stooges. Dick Tracy. Even some Sonic games might qualify.
Mr Bones on the sega saturn came to my mind
Maruko Chan 99 i love that game(s)
@@tomober2889 at first I hated Mr. Bones, but after playing Congo I will never complain about Mr. Bones again
About Mr. Bones, the game developers cant decide if they want a side scrolling platformer, or a musical interactive, or a shooter, or a joke teller, or an overhead/underhead? view kind of game
Ha ha!

One multi-genre game I would recommend is "Mr. Bones" released exclusively for the Sega Saturn! It's a mind-screw of a game from a story and gameplay perspective, but you won't be bored. Give it a shot!
