You actually can get back in your room in "Rise of the Dragon" if you forget your ID card. There is a red valve in the upper left side of the screen in the hallway outside your room. If you click on it, water is sprayed and it shorts out the door. I found that out by accident years ago! But it works and keeps you from having a dead end!
Sensible Soccer is such a good football game. You have to learn the aftertouch controls though. No other game has ever come close to it for speed of play. There's a reason it's got such a high reputation among Soccer fans of the period :)
But it has to be played with a joystick. You can't play this with a controller since you can't use all the effect balls. In Europe this game was like a religion. I still play it with friends on my amiga with joysticks
@@drunkensailor112 Exactly, designed for play on Computers with a one button joystick. But the goals and plays you could pull off with that limited controls were just sublime. No other game has ever come close IMO. The number of leagues my friends and I played after school.... just great memories.
My friend bought the Sega CD a few weeks after it came out. His Mom took us to Best Buy and he bought Night Trap and Sewer Shark. I think it came with a demo disc of Marky Mark. I really wasn't a Sega person, but out of all of those, Vai is probably my favorite. Great episode btw!
My SegaCD memory is quite a bit different. It was about 12-15 years ago and my friend bought a JVC X'Eye (a licensed Genesis with built in SegaCD. We spent all day and all night burning games for it (at sloooooooooow 2x because higher speeds didn't work for some reason). When we finally got tired, he went to lay down and said "so many shitty games! I've never seen so many shitty games!" and then fell asleep. Good times. Too bad we had a falling out.
Great look at the Sega CD. As you said, a lot of people write it off because of the FMV games, primarily the Digital Pictures games. There's definitely some gems in there and completely worth checking out: The Lunar games, Popful Mail, Sonic CD, Road Avenger, Snatcher, Soul Star, Shining Force CD and more!
I love this series and when you do an "all official releases"! It's awesome, very well made and super useful to dive into collections for retro gaming sessions. Thank you for your hard work!
Sensible Soccer is awesome, although it appears that the only upgrade over cartridge version is the sound. Some dynamic zooming in and out would have been a good upgrade.
I bought Snatcher around 1995 at a KB Toys around the time I started purchasing SEGA CD stuff after purchasing a JVC X’Eye. Such an amazing game that I will never forget.
Popful mail was the last item I ever purchased from a funcoland back in the day. I recently just found that copy in my parents basement... It's not in the best of condition 😭
@@BigMacOrange I found my cousin's copy we bought back in 1998 from Funcoland last year when we were cleaning up their house after it was damaged during the winter storm in Houston in early 2021. She had got Snatcher as well but sadly I couldn't find it and I'm still regretting not buying it from them back then when I had the chance back in 1998 but I was too pre occupied with my Playstation 1 and the birth of my son that year.
I honestly forgot just how many of these bloody FMV games this system had. FMV is the reason I never bought the sega CD back in the day, I thought it was all FMV games. Had I only known that there were some amazing 2D sprite based games. 😢
The Brahm Stoker's Dracula footage - Jonathan Harker looks more like John Cleese than Keanu Reeves?! Great video sir, the dedication required to play through so many bad games cannot be underestimated!
This video came out at the perfect time... I was just starting to explore Sega CD games I never played on my Mister FPGA. As always, amazing video from a channel that never ceases to amaze me.
Great video, thanks! I’ve been getting into collecting PAL Mega CD games lately. So far I’ve got about 1/3 of them, 32 games. PAL had a lot less games than NTSC. Expensive, but a fun system to collect.
Great video Joe thank you! This series where you tackle every game on a system have to be a pain to make, but so good!. I had a Sega CD back in the day but lived in a small town. Since there was no real internet, I have never heard of about 1/3 of these games.
I think you should give Another World a second look, you might be surprised, it is incredibly addictive, I don't know why they called it Heart of the Alien, as that is the name of the very short sequel. Thanks for the video.
I was going to comment, but found yours first. Absolutely, "Out of This World" as it was known here in NA & Flashback were really great games! I was blown away by the graphics, especially for that time. Controls are fine once you get used to them. They were cool, futuristic games that really immersed you into that world. Imo Flashback was a better game though. I have them both now as Digital Downloads on the PS4.
Another World was the only game I ever remember my mum playing, and my dad got involved too. We all worked together over time to figure out each segment of the game, then we'd replay it to show how we figured it out. Good times.
Sensible Soccer is one of the most beloved soccer games ever made. Slope's Game Room just did a video on the company that made it about a different franchise, but SS came up heavily.
Thanks for the GREAT Sega CD games review! I love many of the Sega CD games and play them mostly on the Mega Everdrive Pro and Fusion emulator. My favorites include Android Assault, NHL '94, Silpheed, Road Avenger, Cobra Command, Snatcher, Terminator, Sonic CD, Robo Aleste, Road Rash, Lords of Thunder, Keio Flying Squadron, Batman Returns, Shining Force CD, and Popful Mail.
I couldn't help but notice they used the same actress and even the same outfit for these two games (30:48 & 1:12:20). Interesting little detail. I wonder if the two games even share some of the same recorded motion for her.
This video is simply awesome, an amazing work, as always. I think there is only one omission, i couldn't find The Secret of Monkey Island. I'm sure it was released in USA. Apart from that, it's really outstanding
Gound Zero Texas is the only FMV game I like. I liked the fact that it was released on the PS4 with the video cleaned up. Oh well to each their own. I also love Dark Wizard.

Really enjoyed this video, the Mega-CD was possibly my favourite time in gaming. I sunk so many hours into Dune trying to terraform Arrakis to see what would happen. But so many of these games gave me so much joy, so it was soo cool seeing them again in this video!
Working Designs made MAGIC on this machine. I virtually demanded Lunar 2 for Christmas as soon as it was announced and my grandparents found me a fresh copy! Way better than playstation redux- I *Like pop-up fights that’ll kick your but back a couple saves! So WEAK when ROGs used visible enemies.
Nah, Sega CD wasn't infuriating, I liked it a lot. But the 32x definitely was infuriating, there was nothing the 32x did that the saturn couldn't 100x better.
lol, that ending skit is so true. Apparently many of those old hotlines have been bought up by those 'adult' phone companies after they got dropped by the original owners of the number.
Another great video and on one of my favorite platforms! Thank you so much for your consistent quality in your videos. I've meant to ask you because I've heard you comment on it before exactly what store did you buy games from that allowed you to return them for a full refund after being opened? I have never seen a store that allowed you return an open video game
@@gabrielgoncalves2763 Lol that is kind of true. I mean there are more good games than that but yeah I get your point. The library isn't that big to begin with, but the cool thing about it is there are some very solid titles and most of them are Sega CD exclusive, never been released anywhere else. Makes the system feel unique & special.
Great video. But I think you missed the SEGA CD port of The Secret of Monkey Island. You're not missing much. It's a slow port. Nice CD music tho. It also had a Japanese release, so you could make an addendum if you ever tackle the Japanese Sega CD games.
It's one of the worst ports of Monkey Island imho. Not only is it slow, but it is also dark as hell for some reason. And half the locations are without any music. Idk what happened, it was ported very poorly.
@@kosmosyche Looking at the credits it was ported by 2 veteran Lucasarts members. One of them even being the co-creator of the SCUMM engine. They had the right people making it, so my guess is it was either the port was rushed or Lucasarts only let them port over the Amiga version which may have been too much for the SEGA CD.
@@kosmosyche It was a programming error, there is a hack to fix it. Back to the Future also has a similar issue caused by a different programming error.
@@turbinegraphics16 Such a weird type of programming error, if you ask me. It's not like you need to QA the game for hours to see it. lol I mean you just run it and basically immediately see that it's too freaking dark. Idk, how could anyone miss that, unless they didn't care at all.
My favorite Sega CD game...Soulstar was great. Road Rash was pretty sweet. Silpheed blew our minds back when it hit. I don't know Joe, I loved my Sega CD quite a bit when I got it Christmas of 1992 and I enjoyed it immensely throughout its life. That first year of owning one made me feel like I was experiencing something truly special as no one else I knew had one. Very sweet add-on. What a fantastic channel! Addendum- I thought you said this was in alphabetical order? You showed a title I have never seen before in AX-101...but shouldn't Afterburner 3 come before it? I'm so confused by your order with some of these Joe. It's still a great video and an enormous undertaking. Thank you for doing this man. Bonus- The 1-800-USA-SEGA number still works too this day. As funny as Joe's joke is I think it would have been even funnier if he actually called them and asked for a Sega Genesis/Sega CD repair.
You didnt get the links controls at all. Hold the button to set the meter going, let go when the bar has reached the power level you want. The bar then swings back down to the bottom to derive the accuracy that you'll give the shot. Just try to hit it dead on the 6 o'clock position. So hold, let go, tap at bottom
Try thimbleweed park, it's a newer release that plays homage to the older text adventures. It's more point and click but not unlike full throttle or grim fandango but it's got a level of charm and charisma unlike any other games.
Awesome video, what a huge effort! Sega cd back then was so unobtainable (specifically in Brazil) that seeing all these games seams unreal! Very satisfying! Thank you Gamesack team !
This is a Sega Cd video i was always looking for and finally Game Sack made it. I love Sega Cd and still play it since i got it back in 1993. Dracula and Iron Helix were one of my favorite games on the system and i have most of the games for the system. I always go back to Dracula even though people hate it.
Nice video, thanks. But why no mention of the secret of monkey Island? I first played that game on my sega cd. It was available in Canada, certainly the US too?
Fantastic video, though, I feel you were unfair to Hook. The controls may take some getting used to, but I always found them to be precise and the weightlessness of Peter Pan to be intentional. Honestly, it feels refreshing when most platform action games make your character so heavy. Lastly, this game was developed by Ukiyotei! They made the underrated Skyblazer for SNES and went on to develop classic games for SNK! At least you mentioned the great graphics and phenomenal music selection for the CD version. The Genesis and SNES versions of this game are also fantastic.
I was just preparing an SD for MISTer - I watched another A-Z for SegaCD but, your insights mean I need to go back & redo it. - Could you do an "Every Super Nintendo game" episode? - thats gonna be a long video.
Your coverage of Night Trap in this video was excellent! You said what needed to be said. How many times have gamers suffered because of their underhanded ways? I wonder...would Dave go insta agro on you Joe had he been with you? ;) Addendum- Wing Commander on the Sega CD was a great game but it really should have been released on the Genesis. The only thing standing in its way was it's lack of hardware scaling. Thankfully, scaling can be achieved on the Genesis by utilizing software solutions. Many developers did this too great effect.
impressive marathon, I just wanna say 54:36 you can turn the wheels of those pipes on the ceiling in front of your apartment to create a puff of steam into into the light bulb so the door automatically opens without the ID card in Rise of the Dragon. This works in the PC DOS version, I have both but not played the SEGA CD version last time was way back in 2001.
The exciting video of Bill Walsh killed me. Only ever played a few of these growing up, so it's nice to check the others out. Thanks for making another great video, Joe!
Disappointing, yet again. Joe, you forgot all the Sega CD games that start with the letters O, Q, X, Y, and Z. You need to do a bonus episode on all of those.
@@jbfarley My answer got removed? Well, mister, it was released in North America, Japan and Europe. I did put a link for an ad for an North American copy that is for sale, so you could see it with your own eyeballs, but maybe that`s why the comment got removed..
@@TwoBlackMarks an ad is not a source, fake games are sold constantly. You need an actual source. All my research never showed it ever being released in NA
@@jbfarley Maybe an Ad is not the correct word. It was an link to an listing on eBay for sale, there are several US, Japan and Europe versions for sale, AND the rerelease of course...
In the demo version of Keio Flying Squadron they accidentally left the level select code in so you can actually play the full game from the demo version. It's a much cheaper alternative than buying the actual game.
Garbage. It’s too bad the system itself looks so awesome. I keep my gen1 Sega cd under my gen1 genesis, but it never gets played. The games are mostly all trash… as you’ve showcased so nicely for us here.
In a parallel universe somewhere, Joe did this for the PS1 instead. It was a 25 hour long video that drove him mad. He was never the same after that. Poor parallel universe Joe 😢
Great video, really appreciate the effor that went in. BUT... as if you dismissed Sensible Soccer like that! Do you know how much of a following that game has?
What's your favorite Sega CD game?
Snatcher, if I could play it😅
It's tough. Lunar has it's place and Popful Mail is excellent, but I replay Snatcher once every year or so. So, gotta go Snatcher.
Keio* Flying Squadron.
*Probably spelt that wrong.

Another great video and on one of my favorite platforms! Thank you so much for your consistent quality in your videos. I've meant to ask you because I've heard you comment on it before exactly what store did you buy games from that allowed you to return them for a full refund after being opened? I have never seen a store that allowed you return an open video game
Sonic CD, Snatcher , Silpheed , Shining Force CD, Lethal Enforcers and Sewer Shark are my favorite Sega CD titles
You forgot Popful Mail! :)
Are the main stream
Not very difficult to have a bunch of favorites when theres like 10 games on the entire library that isnt complete dogshit.
@@gabrielgoncalves2763 Lol that is kind of true. I mean there are more good games than that but yeah I get your point. The library isn't that big to begin with, but the cool thing about it is there are some very solid titles and most of them are Sega CD exclusive, never been released anywhere else. Makes the system feel unique & special.
@@gabrielgoncalves2763 I can easily name 40 excellent sega cd games
Lots of Sega CD (Mega CD to me) that i didn’t know about!
Great video Joe 👍
Great video. But I think you missed the SEGA CD port of The Secret of Monkey Island. You're not missing much. It's a slow port. Nice CD music tho.
It also had a Japanese release, so you could make an addendum if you ever tackle the Japanese Sega CD games.
It's one of the worst ports of Monkey Island imho. Not only is it slow, but it is also dark as hell for some reason. And half the locations are without any music. Idk what happened, it was ported very poorly.
@@kosmosyche Looking at the credits it was ported by 2 veteran Lucasarts members. One of them even being the co-creator of the SCUMM engine. They had the right people making it, so my guess is it was either the port was rushed or Lucasarts only let them port over the Amiga version which may have been too much for the SEGA CD.
I was wondering where it was and now it's good to see I'm not imaging it. Lol. I was hoping it was in this video but I'm not so fussed now
@@kosmosyche It was a programming error, there is a hack to fix it. Back to the Future also has a similar issue caused by a different programming error.
@@turbinegraphics16 Such a weird type of programming error, if you ask me. It's not like you need to QA the game for hours to see it. lol I mean you just run it and basically immediately see that it's too freaking dark. Idk, how could anyone miss that, unless they didn't care at all.
I stayed up to watch this episode! Amazing!
“I wasn’t really into Power Rangers” yeah sure Joe.
My favorite Sega CD game...Soulstar was great. Road Rash was pretty sweet. Silpheed blew our minds back when it hit. I don't know Joe, I loved my Sega CD quite a bit when I got it Christmas of 1992 and I enjoyed it immensely throughout its life. That first year of owning one made me feel like I was experiencing something truly special as no one else I knew had one. Very sweet add-on. What a fantastic channel!
Addendum- I thought you said this was in alphabetical order? You showed a title I have never seen before in AX-101...but shouldn't Afterburner 3 come before it? I'm so confused by your order with some of these Joe. It's still a great video and an enormous undertaking. Thank you for doing this man.
Bonus- The 1-800-USA-SEGA number still works too this day. As funny as Joe's joke is I think it would have been even funnier if he actually called them and asked for a Sega Genesis/Sega CD repair.
1 hour 18 minutes of new Game Sack. Thanks Joe!
Great work on this. Amazing way to preserve gaming history also.
Thunderhawk is still an all time favourite for me. So much so that I'm collecting all the thunderhawk versions. Latest is Operation Phoenix
You didnt get the links controls at all.
Hold the button to set the meter going, let go when the bar has reached the power level you want. The bar then swings back down to the bottom to derive the accuracy that you'll give the shot. Just try to hit it dead on the 6 o'clock position.
So hold, let go, tap at bottom
Thank you so much for keeping gamesack going. You’re the king.
With that ending, I actually wouldn't be surprised if the helpline number is used for something else.
Call it!
@@GameSack I would but it would be an international call. I live in the UK.
@@jamiewilliamson9829 how does calling work over there? Here all we have to do is dial any number in the world and it will call it 🤔
@@greenkoopa But I wouldn't want international charges, would I?
@@GameSack I think the video overloaded their systems, an automated voice says that it's busy and to call back later.
I have definitely become a fan of SEGA in retrospect, largely due to Joe. Keep up the quality content, you marvelous gem of a man.
Freakin' love Snatcher. It's the game that got me into text adventures and visual novels.
Try thimbleweed park, it's a newer release that plays homage to the older text adventures. It's more point and click but not unlike full throttle or grim fandango but it's got a level of charm and charisma unlike any other games.
Awesome video, what a huge effort! Sega cd back then was so unobtainable (specifically in Brazil) that seeing all these games seams unreal! Very satisfying!
Thank you Gamesack team !
Am I missing something or did you forget to Include the Sega Cd Version of The secret of Monkey island?
This is a Sega Cd video i was always looking for and finally Game Sack made it. I love Sega Cd and still play it since i got it back in 1993. Dracula and Iron Helix were one of my favorite games on the system and i have most of the games for the system. I always go back to Dracula even though people hate it.
Nice video, thanks. But why no mention of the secret of monkey Island? I first played that game on my sega cd. It was available in Canada, certainly the US too?
Noticed that too. Oh well, minor oversight.
@@aaronw6685 Obviously not released in the us
Obviously not released in the us
@@jbfarley Released December of 1993 in the US.
@@aaronw6685 can't find any evidence of that whatsoever when I try to look that up
You sir have presented us with quite a large Sack to digest.
The Sega Cd, Great system. I actually loved all the Fmv games from
Digital Pictures, I thought they were great!
Fantastic video, though, I feel you were unfair to Hook. The controls may take some getting used to, but I always found them to be precise and the weightlessness of Peter Pan to be intentional. Honestly, it feels refreshing when most platform action games make your character so heavy. Lastly, this game was developed by Ukiyotei! They made the underrated Skyblazer for SNES and went on to develop classic games for SNK!
At least you mentioned the great graphics and phenomenal music selection for the CD version. The Genesis and SNES versions of this game are also fantastic.
Nice. First cd anything I ever owned. Bought my first cd to listen on it.
me too the model 2 was my first audio cd player.
@@maxxdahl6062 do you happen to remember the first cd you bought? Mine was dangerous by Michael Jackson.
@@ssaunders1122 I want to say it was the misfits collection 1 but not 100% sure.
I was just preparing an SD for MISTer - I watched another A-Z for SegaCD but, your insights mean I need to go back & redo it. - Could you do an "Every Super Nintendo game" episode? - thats gonna be a long video.
I think you missed one game.... The Secret of Monkey Island
So its every game but one. lol
Still great video on Sega CD games.
Obviously not released in the us
That are quite a few interesting games for the Sega CD that I didn't know about. Thank you for this
Thanks for showing me there’s no reason to get a sega cd console , I’ll save my money 💰
Your coverage of Night Trap in this video was excellent! You said what needed to be said. How many times have gamers suffered because of their underhanded ways? I wonder...would Dave go insta agro on you Joe had he been with you? ;)
Addendum- Wing Commander on the Sega CD was a great game but it really should have been released on the Genesis. The only thing standing in its way was it's lack of hardware scaling. Thankfully, scaling can be achieved on the Genesis by utilizing software solutions. Many developers did this too great effect.
It's games like Keio that makes sailing the high seas a worthwhile option.
impressive marathon, I just wanna say 54:36 you can turn the wheels of those pipes on the ceiling in front of your apartment to create a puff of steam into into the light bulb so the door automatically opens without the ID card in Rise of the Dragon. This works in the PC DOS version, I have both but not played the SEGA CD version last time was way back in 2001.
How about a show about all the 3do games that have been released in the US. I'm sure there are some good FMVs in there. 😂
And even better the philips cdi
I unironically really like the 3DO and want this to happen.
The exciting video of Bill Walsh killed me. Only ever played a few of these growing up, so it's nice to check the others out.
Thanks for making another great video, Joe!
Aw, seeing the Batman Animated Series game is just making me sad now. RIP Kevin Conroy, man.
“Sega CD special features. “ lol! ;)
Thanks for showing all of these! Man, am I ever glad we moved past FMV as a species.
Too bad we didn't get a Sega CD mini instead of the Genesis 2.
@@videostash413 I know but I would've wanted a Sega CD mini with at least their best 30-40 games.
Game Sack Cured my terrible case of faux terminal illness. Thanks Game Sack!
Disappointing, yet again. Joe, you forgot all the Sega CD games that start with the letters O, Q, X, Y, and Z. You need to do a bonus episode on all of those.
Damn it!
Amazing episode, what a great channel. The whole library! Over an hour! Thanks Joe
Did I miss Monkey Island? Or did you miss Monkey Island?
never released in NA, obviously
@@jbfarley My answer got removed? Well, mister, it was released in North America, Japan and Europe. I did put a link for an ad for an North American copy that is for sale, so you could see it with your own eyeballs, but maybe that`s why the comment got removed..
@@TwoBlackMarks an ad is not a source, fake games are sold constantly. You need an actual source. All my research never showed it ever being released in NA
@@jbfarley Maybe an Ad is not the correct word. It was an link to an listing on eBay for sale, there are several US, Japan and Europe versions for sale, AND the rerelease of course...
In the demo version of Keio Flying Squadron they accidentally left the level select code in so you can actually play the full game from the demo version. It's a much cheaper alternative than buying the actual game.
Garbage. It’s too bad the system itself looks so awesome. I keep my gen1 Sega cd under my gen1 genesis, but it never gets played. The games are mostly all trash… as you’ve showcased so nicely for us here.
Bless you Joe for your dedication and craft.
Most of these games did not age well.. Lol
agreed
Coury : "You still don't have Sega CD?!" (Heavy breathing)
Joe : "I...kinda do." (Pointing at complete NA Sega CD collection in the background)
Holy cow, the whole library. Epic video!
Awesome video, really took me back. Love your channel
Thank you joe!! For all the content/entertainment 👍👍
Thanks for doing this Joe! You're the man!
In a parallel universe somewhere, Joe did this for the PS1 instead. It was a 25 hour long video that drove him mad. He was never the same after that. Poor parallel universe Joe 😢
Def want to try that Jeopardy game. RIP Trebek. Great vid.
Thanks for the awesome Sega content, Joe! Brilliant work as always!
Great video, really appreciate the effor that went in. BUT... as if you dismissed Sensible Soccer like that! Do you know how much of a following that game has?
