Yeah Christopher Horan those graphics were breathtaking for a 16-bit game. Looks almost like an actual cartoon. I've been playing mostly NES since January, so that animation looks especially mouthwatering to me right now.
I was impressed. It makes me want to see it attempted again today - like a Tom and Jerry game done Cuphead style (though mimicking 40s/50s animation instead of 30s).
Don't worry Joe, you're shooting French soldiers from Napoleon's era in Atmosfear, not Americans. The map screen mentions Gevaudan Forest, so you must be in France :) Cheers for this episode, mon ami!
just wanna say a huuuuge thank you for the entertaining show, but also for the subtitles!! i'm hearing impaired the the automatic ones are terrible on most videos. so thank you for taking the time.
@@dunxy my favorites are when I'm watching people from the other side of the pond lol I watch a guy who plays Ark, and he said "it might not" but the auto subs put "eat my nuts." Its pretty fantastic haha
That Tom & Jerry game looks amazing. Tom & Jerry is what convinced me to ask my dad for a Master System over a Mega Drive in the early '90s. I was a special boy back then, that's for sure.
"After completing NitroWrecks, I started working on the music for Sega 32X game Xmen. Xmen used v2 of our music engine, which allowed us to use 6 FM channels and 4 sample channels. " -Jesper Kyd's old site
When I bought Legend of Galahad for the Mega Drive, it came with a small booklet containing adverts for other EA games which were supposed to be released in '92-'93 and Zombie High was one of them. The plot supposedly revolved around your classmates being zombified and "interactive intermission screens" were mentioned along with a claim that 7 different weapons would be available. The 2 screenshots depicted some sort of dog enemy and a giant blue zombie head which I've seen in footage that other people have uploaded.
I still notice that he has his name put off to the side and that he doesn't stay center of the camera. He obviously misses Dave, and so do I. Hope he does come back at some point.
Sega really stiffed the developer of that game, looks like they were trying to make an A grade game instead of rush job. They should have supported the 32x longer and delayed the Saturn.
Yeah, but Pinocchio was in '96 and the graphics weren't as impressive since we had gotten games such as Mickey Mania, Quackshot, The Lion King, The Jungle Book, the Magical Quest series, Aladdin, etc. It was a bit old hat by then.
My wife still has the Atmosphere board game. She used to play it every year at Halloween with her younger sister as a family tradition. It had the board and a VHS tape for all the gatekeeper parts, so alas, theres no playing it now as no one has a VHS player. I showed her the footage on here and she was impressed!!!
14 year old me would have killed for that X-Men game. Looks like it had a ton of potential. I still can’t believe they never ported the arcade game to the consoles of that era.
Sega Lord X has several episodes where he shows off arcade games that could have and should have been on Saturn and its hard to understand why they are not.
Apparently Konami faced with their X-Men arcade game a similar problem they also had with The Simpsons Arcade Game. They couldn't get it released on home consoles because of other companies holding the required IP license. Funnily enough, both of them were released some years ago for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and then they vanished again.
If Oscars were given for sarcasm, Joe would get one every year! Keep up the fantastic sarc, err, commentary. I have the 32X and enjoyed some of the 16 or so games I have for it. But the best thing that can be said for it, is that it beats my Jag-be-uar. uh uhn, see what I did there. Yeah, I know, not Joe quality. But who is? Keep up the great work you all. It is appreciated. That Tom v. Jerry would have been awesome.
From the way it looks, the Swamp Thing game was based off the short-lived animated series. The vampire looking dude is Anton Arcane, Swamp Thing's main villain.
Whenever I see the Pinocchio game I always think back to that Game Grumps episode where Dan writes an open letter to the developers after being forced to see the game for a couple of minutes.
Clay fighter for the 32x - I had this prototype laying around for over a decade before I finally found someone who wanted to dump it. It let him keep the cart (more a PCB) for his efforts :) great to see it here!!
Great episode! Good pacing in the final sketch! The jokes never felt like they were dragon on. I genuinely laughed. Then five seconds later l realized l would watch the shit out of that Dragon episode.
Some other prominent game music scores Jesper Kyd was responsible for are: Assassin's Creed 1 and 2; half of Assassin's Creed Revelations as he did that in conjunction with composer Lorne Balfe; and Darksiders 2, which is one of my personal favorites for Kyd's use of Celtic-based themes and tones that are just fantastic!
I'll never understand why Race Drivin' didn't get a SNES port utilizing the Super FX chip. Argonaut Software even ported it to the Game Boy, and that was a better port then both the Genesis and SNES ports. I'm sure they could have some something really nice with the FX co-processor.
I loved Hard Drivin' in the arcade, the graphics were amazing, and you sat down and felt like you were driving a real car. I was so excited when I went to the video store and they had it for the Genesis and rented it immediately.
Yeah, the arcade version was incredible for it's time. The smooth polygons and realistic steering wheel and gear shifter in a sit down cab, which according to our local arcade cost them $20,000. I also rented the Genesis version and was pretty letdown by the 4-6fps of game play. Somehow it's playable, but a polygon game running on Genesis hardware was clearly asking too much of it. I'd also love to have seen a 32X version of Hard Drivin'/Race Drivin'
You know? I love when you cover classic games and older consoles, mainly because I was traped in the Sega vs Nintendo wars, so, I never saw other consoles, and now I'm rediscovering in awe (mainly through emulation) games that are so awsome that I never knew they existed (blessed be the Turbographx 16!!). Please, more classics of the Dreamcast era and before!! I need them!! The world needs it!!
I got mine for Christmas the next year and I got three games: Star Wars, motocross and Doom. And honestly, Doom was worth it. I spent so many hours playing that game with my cassette tape of Dookie from Green Day blasting next to me. Such great times
Joe, I just want you to know that every time I try to play Space Harrier in Yakuza or Judgment I get all fired up and say "I'm Joe Redifer I can do this!" and I get wrecked in the first level. Good lord I suck at Space Harrier. :D Love ya!
Ahhh Swamp Thing. Looks like this one was based off the short lived cartoon. The purple vampire guy is actually the main villain, Anton Arcane, with the enemies being his "UnMen".
IMO the graphics on that 32X Pinocchio game looked pretty damn good, and that unfinished Batman game from Sunsoft looked pretty damn good, that could of been a great game if they finished it and released it IMO
The Tom vs Jerry game really reminds me of Wile E Coyote/Road Runner: Desert Demolition for the Genesis. Same concept as Tom vs Jerry, platforming and collecting the collectibles (in Desert Demolition they're Acme stamps) but you can play as either the Road Runner, who tries to avoid the Coyote, or the Coyote, who tries to catch the Road Runner.
Damn high tech expressions where really doing high tech with that tom and jerry game. For a 1995 game them animations a almost spot on of the old tv series before the animation got changed to what it is now in tom and Jerry
Wow, Zombie High! I haven't thought about that game in years! It's one of the first games I worked on, when I got to EA, while the engine for the Strike games was being completed.
A little fun fact nightmare also has a video board game version. And also I believe it's British thus why American soldiers are the enemy. Spoony did a vid on this. Black hole of board games FTW.
What are some unreleased games you'd like to see covered?
Game Sack the overwhelming hell on the ps2 I wish that would get an official western release
Geist Force or Thrill Kill
And disaster:day of crisis
probably Time Trax (genesis ones since you have covered the SNES one) simply because of the soundtrack
@@Holeecrab I do believe I covered the Genesis one at one point.
That Tom vs Jerry prototype... That animation is REALLY impressive for that time.
It would have looked like an excellent game
Thats what i thought it looks almost like a saturn or ps1 game
Looks like Lester the unlikely
Yeah Christopher Horan those graphics were breathtaking for a 16-bit game. Looks almost like an actual cartoon. I've been playing mostly NES since January, so that animation looks especially mouthwatering to me right now.
impressive for the home tech, that time had better 2d animation than today 2019
The animation and sprite size on Tom vs Jerry was amazing, it was not something I was expecting to see.
same here, that game would have been amazing
It looks like a 32 bit game.
I was impressed. It makes me want to see it attempted again today - like a Tom and Jerry game done Cuphead style (though mimicking 40s/50s animation instead of 30s).
This show is just so comfy. Please never stop making it.
This opinion matters
Comfy is such a good word to use there. This show IS so comfy 😊
Don't worry Joe, you're shooting French soldiers from Napoleon's era in Atmosfear, not Americans. The map screen mentions Gevaudan Forest, so you must be in France :) Cheers for this episode, mon ami!
I'm seeing this late, so you beat be to it!
USA! USA! USA! USA!
just wanna say a huuuuge thank you for the entertaining show, but also for the subtitles!! i'm hearing impaired the the automatic ones are terrible on most videos. so thank you for taking the time.
The automatic ones,while often inaccurate are at least amusing!
@@dunxy my favorites are when I'm watching people from the other side of the pond lol

That Tom & Jerry game looks amazing. Tom & Jerry is what convinced me to ask my dad for a Master System over a Mega Drive in the early '90s. I was a special boy back then, that's for sure.
Hey, nothing wrong with being a little cost conscious!
Tom v Jerry, a landmark Supreme Court decision.
It played out in Tom & Jerry Episode 137, "The Jurist's Prudence".
that montage of plugging in all the things to get the 32x running made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I have my Genesis/Sega CD/32x stack all setup and only needed 2 power strips to get it going!
I actually laughed at that so hard I cried a little. The very essence of the ill-fated 32x - so much investment for so little payoff.
Me: 2 A.M bout to go to sleep
Gamesack uploads
Me: I guess I can stay up for 29 more min
same here lol
Exactly
Yep
Your loss, man.
Those last 5 seconds are where it's at.

The Tom and Jerry game is damn impressive for the snes. Wow. Im not a fan of the cartoon but that looks amazing!
tom vs jerry some of the best animation i ever seen on snes
Hello and welcome to “Everyone loves Joe but we still miss your camaraderie with Dave.”
Time to let go...
Totally dude
Yeah, did I miss something? When did this become a solo act?
@@VonOverlord Dave does seem like a good dad.
Dave being gone allows Joe to play with himself more often
When I bought Legend of Galahad for the Mega Drive, it came with a small booklet containing adverts for other EA games which were supposed to be
released in '92-'93 and Zombie High was one of them. The plot supposedly revolved around your classmates being zombified and "interactive
intermission screens" were mentioned along with a claim that 7 different weapons would be available.
The 2 screenshots depicted some sort of dog enemy and a giant blue zombie head which I've seen in footage that other people have uploaded.
Wow. The animation on that 1st Tom vs Jerry game is really good
I still notice that he has his name put off to the side and that he doesn't stay center of the camera. He obviously misses Dave, and so do I. Hope he does come back at some point.
Omg that's what I've been saying!!!
Thank you Gamesack for keeping me company all these years cheering me up!
That X-men game looked fantastic! And the music rules, of course.
That Saturn prototype of Chelnov loks like a Master System game...
It's just a port of the 80's arcade game.
Man, even without Dave, Game Sack is still great, very well done, in fact, the editing and special effects seem to just improve over time.
Amazed at the scrolling smoothness on the X-Men 32x game. Incredible
Sega really stiffed the developer of that game, looks like they were trying to make an A grade game instead of rush job. They should have supported the 32x longer and delayed the Saturn.
This and the “Left in the Arcades” are probably my favorite kinds of episodes. Too bad there is only so much you can cover in either one
Great episode
At least the graphics in Pinnochio are pretty good.
*Pinocchio
Yeah, but Pinocchio was in '96 and the graphics weren't as impressive since we had gotten games such as Mickey Mania, Quackshot, The Lion King, The Jungle Book, the Magical Quest series, Aladdin, etc. It was a bit old hat by then.
@@ThEjOkErIsWiLd00 Yeah but still. Its solid. Mickey Mania is simply astounding though, you are right.
This is my favourite RUclips channel. I used to game religiously in the 80s and 90s and this channel has reignited my interest.
"The Legend Of... Dragon" made me laugh.
Actually I would like to see an episode about games with Dragon in their titles.
He'll have to mention Dragon Quest/Warrior for sure. And Dragon Slayer.
Gotta love the gatekeeper "I BANISH YOU TO THE BLAGHOLE"
I am... the bee keeper!
Man, the Gatekeeper bloke in Atmosfear is trying *SO* hard to hide his Aussie accent... and failing just as hard.
My wife still has the Atmosphere board game. She used to play it every year at Halloween with her younger sister as a family tradition. It had the board and a VHS tape for all the gatekeeper parts, so alas, theres no playing it now as no one has a VHS player. I showed her the footage on here and she was impressed!!!

I love how half the episode is taken up by the 32X assembly.
Thanks for keeping the show going, Joe! Not sure what I'd do without my Game Sack!
Great episode, I really enjoyed the end skit.
Most cancelled games are better then rise of the robots..
Jesper Kyd is my favourite composer. I never tire of his Hitman soundtracks.
Batman on Genesis was really ahead of his time
Thank you Game Sack! You guys are my inspiration why I just started my youtube channel and filled it with retro games. Keep it up guys!
Keep up the great content
It's only 1 guy in the sack these days. :(
Scott I miss Dave but Joe does an excellent job on his own.
Come on guys. If Joe on the video asks you a question, you should answer him.
Please read my response...would love some feed-back.
“Why can’t I fall asleep???”
Game Sack theme plays, the man passes out immediately
The 32x arming sequence is so perfect. I'd kill for a Magical Girl transformation version.
That layer split di-cut transition effect is fantastic
The 32X being hooked up has me ROLLING 😂
19:13 99% completed by EA....just needed to implement those darn loot boxes and it would be finished, amiright?
The sprite layer transitions look great!
Just as I was looking to watch something. Perfect timing! I love how he always gets right to it!
If Oscars were given for sarcasm, Joe would get one every year! Keep up the fantastic sarc, err, commentary. I have the 32X and enjoyed some of the 16 or so games I have for it.

That Tom v. Jerry would have been awesome.
The Gatekeeper guy sounded like Liam Neeson making a poorly creepy voice, haha.
“The pink elephant.... Quickly..!”
I would LOVE an episode about dragon games! Dragons are awesome.
Why thank you! ^.=.^
Can't wait for "Dragon games 8 - left in Japan part 4 starring Rupaul".
6:42 That's way too much work plugging in a system. What was SEGA thinking?!
Dash
I think for most people it was set up for good, besides i dont find it hard work.
To answer Joe's question about wanting to play as Tom, there's a fighting game for either the Dreamcast or Nintendo 64.
Id love to see a vid about a comparison of final game version vs prototypes.
Those transition effects when you switch between games are so awesome. Great reviews as well, I never miss an episode. Keep up the great work Joe.
From the way it looks, the Swamp Thing game was based off the short-lived animated series. The vampire looking dude is Anton Arcane, Swamp Thing's main villain.
Was about to go to bed then I saw a new Game Sack dropped. Thanks Joe!!
Whenever I see the Pinocchio game I always think back to that Game Grumps episode where Dan writes an open letter to the developers after being forced to see the game for a couple of minutes.
Clay fighter for the 32x - I had this prototype laying around for over a decade before I finally found someone who wanted to dump it. It let him keep the cart (more a PCB) for his efforts :) great to see it here!!
What's funny is that even if it was intended to be for the 32X, this prototype runs perfectly on a Mega Drive without requiring the 32X at all.
It’s 3:00 AM and can’t go to sleep. So what do you do? Watch Game Sack.
Really appreciate all the work you do, Joe. You're very talented.
Me: 2:18pm, working
Gamesack uploaded
Me: "I have to hurry up or I'll go home now"
Boss: "Are you insane?"
Boss: You fired!

Hahah become the apple to roll past the fence "who writes this stuff!?" had me cracking up.
That Tom v Jerry game looked good, the giant Jerry chasing you around was a great idea.
Nothing beats coming home from work and seeing a new episode of Game Sack pop up on my RUclips feed

I remember the first Unreleased Games episode when Dave was still there. I miss him :(
I actually bought my 32x like immediately when it came out. I only wound up with three games for it though.
I got mine for Christmas the next year and I got three games: Star Wars, motocross and Doom. And honestly, Doom was worth it. I spent so many hours playing that game with my cassette tape of Dookie from Green Day blasting next to me. Such great times

Love love loved this episode. These unreleased games are so fascinating to me
Ahhh Swamp Thing. Looks like this one was based off the short lived cartoon. The purple vampire guy is actually the main villain, Anton Arcane, with the enemies being his "UnMen".
20:06 Looks like Duke Nukem as a teen, or cyber bart from the year 2110.
This is ridiculously on time for me I love this channel.
In the X-Men game, I was hoping Bishop would actually use his gun. It just makes sense.
IMO the graphics on that 32X Pinocchio game looked pretty damn good, and that unfinished Batman game from Sunsoft looked pretty damn good, that could of been a great game if they finished it and released it IMO

I was impressed with the Pinocchio graphics!! ( Who would of guessed the Sega Genesis had such great graphics back in 1940!!!)
my favorite show on youtube since I discovered it. Joe you are awesome, dude
what an awesome episode. how Joe gets hold of these games is amazing!
He downloads them just like we can all do.
Holy crap, the animation in that Tom & Jerry game looks incredible!
for years now i am looking forward on every second Sunday morning: coffee and a new gamesack video. such a nice ritual
doctor: blue tom doesn't exist, he can't hurt you. blue tom:
Please don’t ever stop making videos. You keep me going!
You know it's gonna be a good day when there's a new Game Sack! Would totally watch an All About Dragons episode.
Great work Joe. Loved hearing about these lost GEMS? I always look foward to the latest Gamesack episode dropping in my feed. Cheers man
those title screen transitions are incredible, wow!!
Damn high tech expressions where really doing high tech with that tom and jerry game. For a 1995 game them animations a almost spot on of the old tv series before the animation got changed to what it is now in tom and Jerry
That Pinocchio game looked pretty good. Almost like Aladdin. Disney makes some damn good games more often than not.
Wow, Zombie High! I haven't thought about that game in years! It's one of the first games I worked on, when I got to EA, while the engine for the Strike games was being completed.
i couldn't stop laughing watching batman get punched over and over and over and over and-
18:00 I loved this game on a bootleg cartridge! We called it the Tremors Game. It played like first Resident Evil before Resident Evil
The amount of digitized voice in "AtmosFear" was impressive.
loved the end skit. Keep rockin it Joe bags
That was some solid make-up work at the end, it really sold the bit.
It came from the Desert reminds me of Centipede: infestation
and they used the Steven king mini series: IT logo for the title screen
If you're a classic games history enthusiast absolutely your heart races when there's a 32X story!
I may or may not have bought all the NA 32X games though...
A little fun fact nightmare also has a video board game version. And also I believe it's British thus why American soldiers are the enemy. Spoony did a vid on this. Black hole of board games FTW.
I love your videos, Game Sack! I watch every one. No matter what
