Always impressed when teams not only translate games that never got released over here but even do the voiced dialogue going the extra mile. Thing is it makes me wonder if the bigger companies see that gamers are going through this much effort and that there is a demand for it hell why not make it official and pay them for their hard work perhaps? In a perfect world....
Oh Mummy is the first game I ever played back in 1985 on the Spectrum. Fond memories of my dad plugging the whole thing together and showing me how to play it.
The music on the title screen of Super Mario Odyssey is a remix of Chronologie 4 by Jean Michel Jarre... I know because it's one of my favorite pieces of music in history :)
There are a lot of Super Mario World hacks I can think of right now Super Demo World - this hack was pretty big and more of what Lunar Magic is capable of VIP series - a series of Japanese Super Mario World hacks that featured a lot of custom bosses and game mechanics (and stars Boon instead of Mario) Brutal Mario aka Super Kitiku Mario - another Japanese Super Mario World hack this time by Carol which adds RPG style boss fights and tons of custom bosses and stuff in this incredible hack. and there are Super Metroid hacks out there too. Super Metroid Redesigned - a huge hack of Super Metroid that adds elements of Metroid Prime into the game (limited bombs, enemies being vulnerable to a specific type of beam, needing to locate certain chozo statues to open the way to Tourian) Super Metroid Zero Mission - another huge hack that takes elements from Metroid Zero Mission and adds them to Super Metroid there are also translation hacks for Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, and Final Fantasy VI
Hack to cover later would be Mother 3, which is now fully translated. Also, a bit offbeat, but an unfinished copy of Faceball for the Virtual Boy was found, and now finished and released.
For once I break the silence to thank you for this nice vid. You've made a lovely job here and you pushed me to check for these demos. Well done guys, keep posting!
I realize it's been 5 years since you guys made this video but i watched it today and wanted to say thanks for bringing the 'bad apple' video to my attention. Loved it right away, so, thanks guys!
the star ocean DeJap is one of the best games I've ever played. great fight mechanics, fast combat, in depth itemization and character development and after getting it to the "end" the world opens up and there's a TON of things to do, lots of extra bosses, dungeons and character progression. great game world also, up to par with games like FF9 and FF6 (im talking about "world building" here) another great translation is the Tales of Phantasia one. combat is even faster and fun, too bad the game is kinda short.
I had you guys come up in my suggestion feed a lot so I started watching and then just kept clicking. Suddenly I lost track and couldn't remember the page name and didn't wanna search through 10,000 faves , so I kept looking around through the game channels. Finally got back on. Big fan. 😄✌️
God, I haven't seen "Oh Mummy" since the 80s. It was one of the games that came bundled with my Amstrad CPC 464! It didn't look as good as the version shown here though, lol.
great episode guys...I think you should definitely do a part 2. And yeah, going more into depth with the shining force 3 hacks would be great too...keep up the good work!!
You guys got yourselves another subscriber. This is my first time watching one you guys videos and I love the topic and the delivery. Gotta check out more of you guys stuff.
17:27 ... BAD Apple!!! ... TOUHOU! =D I'm happy now =D ... Uh... for those who don't know (probably many) "BAD Apple!!! (feat. Nomico)" is a fanmade video for a fanmade vocal arrangement of a song from the videogame Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story ... And, they ported the video to a format that can be used in actual consoles (like there's a NES "version"), so it's technically not a demo, becouse I don't think it's supposed to be the intro to a game, just the PV... so... yeah =3
Bubblemans theme took a hit. The bass drum sounds like it was removed. I may have not heard it because I'm watching it from my phone but it sounds really good.
Super cool episode as always, guys! If you're looking for some cool hacks, check out Dragoon X Omega, a complete hack of the original Final Fantasy on NES.
Germany: Monday new Simpsons episodes, Thursday new Naruto Episodes and Sunday is Game Sack day =) Looking forward to it like a child to his Saturday morning cartoons
I loved this episode! Aside from a game translations and dopey graphics hacks, I never ventured much into the world of homebrews, hacks, and demos. I'm pretty blown away by what I've seen here, though, and it seems that I've missed out on a lot. Thank-you Joe and Dave for constantly managing to bring something new and exciting to every episode!
I know it is kinda too late to post a comment here since this video was uploaded in 2013, but FYI the title screen music in Mario Odyssey is Jean Michel Jarre from the album Chronologie. Sure it does not sound like Mario, they just wanted to show off CD quality audio :) JMJ music was widely used in different Demo Scene competitions in Europe/Scandinavia. Peace.
Oh Mummy! was originally an Amstrad 464 release, back in 1984. I used to own an amstrad 464+ at one point and I also had this game. This genisis/Megadrive remake is pretty impressive and stays true to the original, even the music is the same.
OMG, I know that MOD file in that 32X game... it's Guitar Slinger! I remember making a little song of my own with the samples in it! Joe, if you like MOD files, you should look at my channel... I write all of my music in IT format.
Just for info guys, I know its an old vid, but I've been meaning to post. Oh Mummy @ 1.26 isn't actually a homebrew,hack or demo. It was a full retail release and one of the pack-in games that came originally in a 10 game bundle with the Amstrad CPC464 here in the UK (along with Sultan's Maze, Harrier attack, Bridge-it etc) and was developed by Alan Sugar's Amsoft software division. They were basically the in-house Amstrad software production team. They also developed all of the "Roland" series of games which was more or less Amstrad's mascot. Also, did you know that a lot of these games were excellently optimized and some were whittled down eventually to as small as 9kb total size while still retaining full features, impressive for the time. Anyway, nerdy stuff over. Your videos are still the best on the net, keep up the excellent work!
Man i really need to get some everdrive carts...also i didn't know that SF3 Scenario 2&3 were translated, i am gonna have to look up how to get them working on my Saturn.....so many cool RPG's at the end to play as well
My favorite hack / translation of a game was Policenauts. It only translates the text for the ps1 version, not the audio. But reading chris sawyer, the head programer for the hack, write about the hell they had to go through just to cram in all the english characters to replace the kanji but still synch to all the events, and the pain of making sure it can play on the ps1 natively, It's surprising they didn't quit halfway through. Plus it's just an awesome game.
Hey, 10PM, 1AM, 6:19AM, 2:37PM...who cares? Anytime is a good time for Game Sack. Still the most underappreciated and underrated show on UA-cam. ..you guys are great, another cool episode- learned about some stuff for the first time and now want some of that stuff...be cool guys!
I just got an NES Powerpak to play a lot of these, good to see there's a few more out there. I'd definitely recommend the "Final Fantasy VII" hack on NES. It started as an unlicensed pirate, then hackers translated it and made it a whole lot more playable.
FFFFFFFFFF-WHAAAAAAA? BAD APPLE ON THE GENESIS? I MUST HAVE THIS!!!!!!!! (I'm a HUGE Touhou fan) Also, another hack that I own on reproduction cart is a finished version of the unfinished english translation of Earthbound for NES.
Very cool epsoide, guys! A companion episode showcasing the various Everdrives, PowerPaks, and other Flash Carts and repro hardware would be very cool to see. I know you don't do hardware reviews all that often, but it'd be nice to see.
Sacred Line is actually a physical cart now. I picked it and Pier Solar up recently, and couldn't be happier with both of them. The Sacred Line cart came with some cool stuff with it, too, including an art insert so you can put it in an actual Genesis case and have a cover. It also had a little cardboard stand in the package, so you could display it I guess. Personally, I love the game. Really cool to be able to play something like that on my Genny.
I made my own Seiken Densetsu 3 repro by swapping the MASKROM on a Super Famicom copy of the game. Now I have a complete boxed copy of the game that plays in English!
great episode! it's impressive to see the hard work of the fan translation community, the y really love the games, it's noticeable for the effort and love put in their work! wish list: hacks: alcahest(SNES) ranma 1/2 rpg (snes) grand knights story(psp,recently translated) special episode: the gambare goemon series, which the companies were always reluctanct to localize because of their enormous japanese lifestyle/culture references, the second one is a extremely fun and addictive action platforming game with gorgeous graphics and incredible gameplay and it would be a great chance for dave to delight us once again with his exquisite knowledge of the japanese language, especially the pronunciation. merry christmas and happy new year joe and dave! it's the least I can say for people who entertain us with great retro videos every 2 weeks, I want you to know that I really appreciate your work . best regards!
A game I'm working on playing now is Front Mission: Gun Hazard (which i'm surprised i haven't seen here yet) which is now a translated Run and Gun Action-RPG for the SNES. I was a bit skeptical as to how they could stretch out a Run'nGun to 20 hours, but there is a lot of customization, leveling, story and pretty clever level design. They even have optional Blow Crap Up levels where you can go through a pretty flat level and do just that gaining XP and Money and de-stress yourself!
you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss Rick Dangerous @15:07, I had it on my Amiga it is an excellent run+jump game and has a sequel Rick Dangerous 2. You need to remember some traps like you mentioned and the controls are quite smart in my opinion. The game over combo you showed seems like a bit of a glitch to me as it does not exist based on my experience neither on the Amiga nor on the Amstrad CPC, instead pressing Escape quits.
Wow, so many RPG games I wished were translated years ago. Langrisser 2 and all the missing Ys and Final Fantasy games. Nice ep, have a great Christmas!
Great episode guys! I would like to see you make an episode of homebrew, hack and demo for the great sega white lady, the Dreamcast. You would be astonished to see how many hack and homebrew exist for this platform, if you don't already know about this of course.
Great episode guys, I normally don't pay attention to homebrews or hacks but I found this very entertaining and informative. I have seen Reproduction carts at swap meets I have attended but the sellers were always charging the average price on E-bay of the actual original carts, or even charging over $100 for simple Rom hacks of common games.
Great episode, guys! Really love all of your videos. Would love to get my hands on the Game Sack game, really outstanding visuals and, it appears, in depth gameplay! ;)
Of all the game sacks in the world, you're the game sackiest. Not sure if you guys have mentioned it before, but have you ever played Sweet Home on the Famicom? It's totally awesome. I only ask because there's a repro cart available now.
eb88408 I guess you could say that, it's an 8-bit horror RPG made by Capcom with some very survival horror type themes. I've even heard that Capcom's original intention with RE was to remake Sweet Home for 5th gen consoles, but I can't really confirm that.
Saw this video this morning. Skipped work and have been searching for 8 hours on eBay to try to find the GameSack homebrew game. I haven't found anything yet, but being an optimist I'll find it eventually!
Amazing episode! I didn't even realize that Episodes II and III of Shining Force III were translated. There are so many awesome games covered in this episode. Thank You!
It's translated but it's still in progress AFAIK. As I am currently in China, I found out that some guy here translated the WHOLE series to Chinese, and it's actually perfect, due to the similarities between the two languages.
I'm not sure what you meant by whether you need to purchase Scenario 2 and 3 to play on an emulator. I personally think that emulators for the Saturn are quite unstable and they can't really support many of the games. Since you have the ISO for both games, I think you can just patch and burn them into CD-R's to get them to work on your Saturn
Wait a sec! I know that music at 6:50! It's Chronologie Part 4 by french electronic musician Jean Michel Jarre! And the stage music is I think Calypso, also from Jean Michel Jarre! Hope I'm not the only one who noticed it! :D
so cool guys you should definitely make more of these episodes I recommend the dreamcast for homebrew as it has a thriving community and plenty of awesome games made by that community.
6:33 Super Mario Odyssey huh?
Rusted Logic predicted the future i guess.
Lol yeah I was thinking that too.
Yeah
I came here looking for a comment about that lol
I literally did a double take when he said that
Was gonna post the same thing!
Thx for mentioning our Genesis demo "Overdrive" ! :D
It's amazing, thanks for making it! :)
Always impressed when teams not only translate games that never got released over here but even do the voiced dialogue going the extra mile. Thing is it makes me wonder if the bigger companies see that gamers are going through this much effort and that there is a demand for it hell why not make it official and pay them for their hard work perhaps? In a perfect world....
At least it seems like Sega is doing that with Christian Whitehead. Now if only they would bring on the team that did Streets of Rage Remake...
@@ebiljebus Well....😁
Oh Mummy is the first game I ever played back in 1985 on the Spectrum. Fond memories of my dad plugging the whole thing together and showing me how to play it.
The music on the title screen of Super Mario Odyssey is a remix of Chronologie 4 by Jean Michel Jarre... I know because it's one of my favorite pieces of music in history :)
Just mentioned it myself. Sorry I missed your comment.
I'm honestly loving the music that plays over the Mode 7 demo/SNES test footage.
I like in the end how Joe made his character all buff and manly and then he made dave look all pathetic and fugly
And now we've got an official Super Mario Odyssey.
Thats a great show, its give me that 90´s game shows. Btw, as usual, great choice ! The ArtAlive at the end was hilarious !
Cheers from Brazil !
Fun fact. I recently found out, if you run the Titan Overdrive demo on an emulator, it says "Your Emulator Sucks"
There are a lot of Super Mario World hacks I can think of right now
Super Demo World - this hack was pretty big and more of what Lunar Magic is capable of
VIP series - a series of Japanese Super Mario World hacks that featured a lot of custom bosses and game mechanics (and stars Boon instead of Mario)
Brutal Mario aka Super Kitiku Mario - another Japanese Super Mario World hack this time by Carol which adds RPG style boss fights and tons of custom bosses and stuff in this incredible hack.
and there are Super Metroid hacks out there too.
Super Metroid Redesigned - a huge hack of Super Metroid that adds elements of Metroid Prime into the game (limited bombs, enemies being vulnerable to a specific type of beam, needing to locate certain chozo statues to open the way to Tourian)
Super Metroid Zero Mission - another huge hack that takes elements from Metroid Zero Mission and adds them to Super Metroid
there are also translation hacks for Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, and Final Fantasy VI
Hack to cover later would be Mother 3, which is now fully translated. Also, a bit offbeat, but an unfinished copy of Faceball for the Virtual Boy was found, and now finished and released.
Great stuff as always guys. Top notch editing too. Love your show,having a game sack marathon here in Scotland on this rainy day
I hope you guys dont stop doing these for a long time.
It was a nice surprise seeing Bad Apple in this video! I sure wasn't expecting anything Touhou related on a show about console games.
To think, the new Mario game for the Switch will be called Super Mario Odyssey.
Gabriel Hunt Hi im from the future (2017) and the switch game is called super mario Odyssey
Kinda makes you wonder...
Oh yeah, and Cat Mario from Syobon Action appeared in Super Mario 3D World
This aged like wine
>each day lasts three minutes just like in real life
I woke the neighbors up
For once I break the silence to thank you for this nice vid.
You've made a lovely job here and you pushed me to check for these demos.
Well done guys, keep posting!
I'm like 4 years late, but Super Mario Odyssey at 6:38? Fantastic!
Yeah man, me too - just kinda going through these guys' videos now, and I definitely got a kick out of seeing the Super Mario Odyssey hack.
Great episode as always guys. I really appreciate the time you take to make these videos. I love how they tend to run 20 to 30 minutes.
I realize it's been 5 years since you guys made this video but i watched it today and wanted to say thanks for bringing the 'bad apple' video to my attention. Loved it right away, so, thanks guys!
6:33 dang, Rusted Logic's got some good foresight. He could see almost five years into the future!
Just wanted to let you guys know I've seen every single one of your vids now. Big fan. Keep up the great work :)
Thank You!!
the music in the mario homebrew around 7:00 is the petalburg theme from paper mario the thousand year door, that's why it sounds authentic.
the star ocean DeJap is one of the best games I've ever played. great fight mechanics, fast combat, in depth itemization and character development and after getting it to the "end" the world opens up and there's a TON of things to do, lots of extra bosses, dungeons and character progression.
great game world also, up to par with games like FF9 and FF6 (im talking about "world building" here)
another great translation is the Tales of Phantasia one. combat is even faster and fun, too bad the game is kinda short.
Darn! I've missed Beggar Prince and Brave Battle Saga for the Genesis. Still again a fabulous Gamesack episode, guys!!
AWESOME EPISODE! For some weird reason I couldn't watch any of Game Sack's episodes, but now that I can it's gonna be early christmas for me :D
Yes I love watching hacks!!!!!
Us too that's why we watch Game Chasers OOOOOOOOOOH!!!!
HEY you cant reuse my joke. I realize mine was more subtle but still.....
Game Sack Where's Vagrant Fighter FX, Hong Kong Project -NKTF? It's a homebrew fighting game! Come on Game Sack
arringtastic41
I just double-checked and they are not in this video.
Game Sack Shoot.
Super Mario Odyssey came out 4 years before it was announced for the Switch. Wild!
19:02- could the Genesis
chip in a LITTLE to help the frame rate?
I had you guys come up in my suggestion feed a lot so I started watching and then just kept clicking. Suddenly I lost track and couldn't remember the page name and didn't wanna search through 10,000 faves , so I kept looking around through the game channels. Finally got back on. Big fan. 😄✌️
You binge watching? Such an awesome channel.
+moviemetalhead totally. I binge every day off. 😄👍
+bluestrife28 Me too bro. I'm almost done with my second marathon of every episode.
God, I haven't seen "Oh Mummy" since the 80s. It was one of the games that came bundled with my Amstrad CPC 464!
It didn't look as good as the version shown here though, lol.
Great episode! Love the demos, really shows what those systems can do.
I am so pumped to see this. IDK how gamesack doesn't get over a million views per video but I love the longer videos you guys rock.
great episode guys...I think you should definitely do a part 2. And yeah, going more into depth with the shining force 3 hacks would be great too...keep up the good work!!
6:46 Super Mario Odyssey ey? Now where did i see that...
There was a Super Mario Odessy years ago... Mind blown
This need a follow-up.
Amazing episode guys!
Thanks for it.
You guys got yourselves another subscriber. This is my first time watching one you guys videos and I love the topic and the delivery. Gotta check out more of you guys stuff.
13:39
Game Under. Just brilliant. XD
I wish yall made videos more often (once a week)! This is one of my favorite channels!!
17:27 ... BAD Apple!!! ... TOUHOU! =D I'm happy now =D
... Uh... for those who don't know (probably many) "BAD Apple!!! (feat. Nomico)" is a fanmade video for a fanmade vocal arrangement of a song from the videogame Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story
... And, they ported the video to a format that can be used in actual consoles (like there's a NES "version"), so it's technically not a demo, becouse I don't think it's supposed to be the intro to a game, just the PV... so... yeah =3
I know exactly what this is. I'm an avid Touhou player and this made my day too.
Bubblemans theme took a hit. The bass drum sounds like it was removed. I may have not heard it because I'm watching it from my phone but it sounds really good.
Cold outside, worm tea and a blanked while watching this.
Best thing ever.
Mmmmm. Worm tea is the best. I love earthworm tea it's so yummy.... LoL.. Thanks for watching!
Super cool episode as always, guys! If you're looking for some cool hacks, check out Dragoon X Omega, a complete hack of the original Final Fantasy on NES.
Huh, that Timmy game looks a lot like some of the stuff from "I wanna be the guy"
Germany: Monday new Simpsons episodes, Thursday new Naruto Episodes and Sunday is Game Sack day =) Looking forward to it like a child to his Saturday morning cartoons
You guys really should check out the SMT I & II translations that Aeon Genesis did, they're really good RPGs.
Wow! What an excellent idea for an episode! You guys are the best!
I loved this episode! Aside from a game translations and dopey graphics hacks, I never ventured much into the world of homebrews, hacks, and demos. I'm pretty blown away by what I've seen here, though, and it seems that I've missed out on a lot. Thank-you Joe and Dave for constantly managing to bring something new and exciting to every episode!

I like how that one game says GAME UNDER instead of over. Awesome episode you guys, keep 'em comin'
Man i really need to get some everdrive carts...also i didn't know that SF3 Scenario 2&3 were translated, i am gonna have to look up how to get them working on my Saturn.....so many cool RPG's at the end to play as well
Surprised you didnt mention the repro and translation of starfox 2,I know it was never "officially released" but its very playable.
At 8:43 The game starts to play The rolling stones - as tears go by
My favorite hack / translation of a game was Policenauts. It only translates the text for the ps1 version, not the audio. But reading chris sawyer, the head programer for the hack, write about the hell they had to go through just to cram in all the english characters to replace the kanji but still synch to all the events, and the pain of making sure it can play on the ps1 natively, It's surprising they didn't quit halfway through.

BAD APPLE ON THE GENESIS? I MUST HAVE THIS!!!!!!!!
(I'm a HUGE Touhou fan)
Also, another hack that I own on reproduction cart is a finished version of the unfinished english translation of Earthbound for NES.
Me Too
I love those sketches you guys do at the end of the videos
Very cool epsoide, guys! A companion episode showcasing the various Everdrives, PowerPaks, and other Flash Carts and repro hardware would be very cool to see. I know you don't do hardware reviews all that often, but it'd be nice to see.

I had Oh Mummy originally on the Amstrad CPC 464. Wow.. that's a blast from my childhood! Cheers fellas. :)
Dang it Joe and Dave, where in the world is my Fan Translation Episode?!?!
But in all seriousness, this is an awesome episode.
That Battlekid sprite shares the same sprite of IWannaBeTheGuy kid. Is it a sequel or prequel?
I made my own Seiken Densetsu 3 repro by swapping the MASKROM on a Super Famicom copy of the game. Now I have a complete boxed copy of the game that plays in English!
That's awesome!
Absolutely love that choice of Persona 4 music at the start!
Super interesting episode too.
Have I just been Rick Roll'd...Sega Genesis style??
Awesome episode.
haha! Joe joins the hate for Rick Dangerous. I remember when we used to play that bitch on the C64 back in the 80s. It was a kick in the nuts.
great episode! it's impressive to see the hard work of the fan translation community, the y really love the games, it's noticeable for the effort and love put in their work!
wish list:
hacks: alcahest(SNES) ranma 1/2 rpg (snes) grand knights story(psp,recently translated)
special episode: the gambare goemon series, which the companies were always reluctanct to localize because of their enormous japanese lifestyle/culture references, the second one is a extremely fun and addictive action platforming game with gorgeous graphics and incredible gameplay and it would be a great chance for dave to delight us once again with his exquisite knowledge of the japanese language, especially the pronunciation.
merry christmas and happy new year joe and dave! it's the least I can say for people who entertain us with great retro videos every 2 weeks, I want you to know that I really appreciate your work . best regards!
Game Sack has the best music in each episode
Another great episode guys! Interesting and funny, as usual. I actually never knew about those SD Flash Carts even existed, until today.
Reproduction carts are an option as well. They usually come with cool boxes, manuals, and even posters
A game I'm working on playing now is Front Mission: Gun Hazard (which i'm surprised i haven't seen here yet) which is now a translated Run and Gun Action-RPG for the SNES. I was a bit skeptical as to how they could stretch out a Run'nGun to 20 hours, but there is a lot of customization, leveling, story and pretty clever level design.

The game over combo you showed seems like a bit of a glitch to me as it does not exist based on my experience neither on the Amiga nor on the Amstrad CPC, instead pressing Escape quits.
You guys listened and in a couple weeks , I am impressed excellent episode.
Imagina a game called Super Mario Odyssey released years prior
Wow, so many RPG games I wished were translated years ago. Langrisser 2 and all the missing Ys and Final Fantasy games. Nice ep, have a great Christmas!
Great episode guys! I would like to see you make an episode of homebrew, hack and demo for the great sega white lady, the Dreamcast. You would be astonished to see how many hack and homebrew exist for this platform, if you don't already know about this of course.
Great episode guys, I normally don't pay attention to homebrews or hacks but I found this very entertaining and informative. I have seen Reproduction carts at swap meets I have attended but the sellers were always charging the average price on E-bay of the actual original carts, or even charging over $100 for simple Rom hacks of common games.
the music on that super mario odyssey level is just petal meadows from paper mario 2
Great episode, guys! Really love all of your videos. Would love to get my hands on the Game Sack game, really outstanding visuals and, it appears, in depth gameplay! ;)
Of all the game sacks in the world, you're the game sackiest.
Not sure if you guys have mentioned it before, but have you ever played Sweet Home on the Famicom? It's totally awesome. I only ask because there's a repro cart available now.
Isn't that the influence to Resident Evil?
eb88408 I guess you could say that, it's an 8-bit horror RPG made by Capcom with some very survival horror type themes. I've even heard that Capcom's original intention with RE was to remake Sweet Home for 5th gen consoles, but I can't really confirm that.
KidShoryuken ive played it as well, and its great. im surprised it wasnt covered, along with clock tower on the snes
Love Sweet Home! Pro Jared played it last year around Halloween. Check out Stop Skeletons From Fighting reviewed and live streamed it.
The squaresoft demo at 19:31 has something that looks like it came out of a Sonic.exe fan creepypasta.
22:55 The same game already existing on GBA - Yggdra Union - We'll Never Fight Alone
Kinda funny looking back and seeing a fan game called 'super mario odyssey' when the actual switch game named the same thing exists
Forget having a morning wood.. It's Game Sack time baby!!!!!!
I am watching your guys' vids back to back for the umpteenth time...love your show!
Great show chaps as usual. Great to give some air time to the home brew community. Keep up the great work.
Saw this video this morning. Skipped work and have been searching for 8 hours on eBay to try to find the GameSack homebrew game. I haven't found anything yet, but being an optimist I'll find it eventually!
Amazing episode! I didn't even realize that Episodes II and III of Shining Force III were translated. There are so many awesome games covered in this episode. Thank You!
It's translated but it's still in progress AFAIK. As I am currently in China, I found out that some guy here translated the WHOLE series to Chinese, and it's actually perfect, due to the similarities between the two languages.
I'm not sure what you meant by whether you need to purchase Scenario 2 and 3 to play on an emulator. I personally think that emulators for the Saturn are quite unstable and they can't really support many of the games. Since you have the ISO for both games, I think you can just patch and burn them into CD-R's to get them to work on your Saturn
Wait a sec! I know that music at 6:50! It's Chronologie Part 4 by french electronic musician Jean Michel Jarre! And the stage music is I think Calypso, also from Jean Michel Jarre! Hope I'm not the only one who noticed it! :D
so cool guys you should definitely make more of these episodes I recommend the dreamcast for homebrew as it has a thriving community and plenty of awesome games made by that community.
I Wish there could be a Homebrew Made "The King Of Fighters 94" Port on Super Nintendo
I really liked this episode. Hope you'll do more in the future.
