"The Japanese version of Doom runs better" - I think this came from someone who was playing the PAL version which I can only imagine is naturally worse than NTSC versions.
@Karl Burnett That was always a nice touch in Super Monaco. I loved injuring a player and getting the ambulance on the field in Madden, it would just barrel onto the field and run over any players in its way.
Interesting story with how the 3DO version came about. The developer who created it, Rebecca Heineman, shares the story of its nightmare development on her channel. Very crazy story!
IIRC the guy running the company that hired Rebecca to do the port had no idea how game development actually worked and thought adding stuff like new weapons and enemies was as simple as dragging-and-dropping. He DID however know music, and that's why the soundtrack is so awesome and the only redeeming factor of the port. Doom on the 3DO is bad, but it's a miracle that it even came out at all. Much like Doom on the SNES or Street Fighter Alpha 2 on the... SNES. Weird how the majority of people only use the "yeah it sucks but it's impressive" card when it's a Nintendo game, huh.
Funny story... When I was roughly 8 - 10 one of my brother's "friends" pretended to lose one of his master system games when they stayed the night and then stole our copy of F-16 Fighter as compensation.
Please keep making GameSack. I have been watching you since I was a teenager, I'm a full adult now. I know it's been thru some ups and downs, but this is my favorite channel on youtube :)

SNK NEO GEO tech explainer coming (with regard to RIDING HERO): For all the excellent stuff the machine can do it has a big flaw when compared to every single console from the NES and Master System up to the Saturn and almost every arcade of that period: The NEO GEO has ONLY sprites to draw the screen. A LOT of HUGE sprites. This would not be a problem in most cases as instead of background tiles you just move sprites. However you cannot really do RASTER effects with sprites. The classic 8 bit and 16 bit ROAD effect (Out run, hang on, or even the floor in Street Fighter 2) is done by moving the background at a different pace for every scanline. However this appears to be something very tricky to achieve with sprites (the ones in the NEO GEO are thin and tall, as tall as the whole screen height). Riding Hero and that nice Golf game are the only NG games even attempting this and it is obvious that the approach is different.
Actually A LOT of games make the Saturn seem underpowered because most devs didn't know how to program for it's second processor and hence couldn't even achieve transparency effects...check out the Saturn port of Symphony of the Night for example.
Joe, I know you've said that so and so went to the school of voice acting from Game Sack but I will say, the mega power voice makes me want to hear you commentate a wrestlemania
Whenever I switch over to "TATE MODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" in a game I always hear Joe's mega power voice announcing the change.
The real kicker: another game based on Ashita no Joe appeared on the Super Famicom a few years later. It played much better AND followed the manga's storyline more closely by comparison to the Neo-Geo game. No wonder SNK held off releasing it to the West.
I do hope one day that someone will release an optimised Doom port for the Sega Saturn so we can see for real what the Saturn was capable of with Doom. Shame in hindsight Lobotomy Software didn't handle the conversion and id Software wasn't told to reverse course on their decision to not use a custom engine. While Doom was a slideshow, Lobotomy managed to port Quake, a game that was considered impossible for the Saturn to handle, to the console.
15:39, he was safe, there was no force play at 3rd and the 3rd baseman clear tagged him late. You dont get an out for stepping on a base on a non-force play.
I like how the guy in the truck @ 30:47 just sits in there and doesn't even move while you thrash his vehicle to the point of it looking like he got into a bad accident :D
Digital Foundry did a segment on DOOM Saturn for it's DFRetro Doom segment. Saturn Doom runs from about 11-23 FPS. They ran the Japanese and NTSC version through a framemeister and there was no discernable difference between the versions.
The Hooters game handles like that because before the race you drank like 3 pitchers of beer and ate about 10 pounds of hot chicken wings. So you're constantly shitting yourself while drunk driving.
I remember NFL Quarterback club for the N64, that game actually made use of the expansion pack. Which helped make the helmets look very shiny and the extra memory helped the player models.
9:28 my cousin and I used to pretend the 2nd controller was a vitally important part of the game where I'd yell "countermeasures!" And he'd press the button
@@jbfarley Only time a foot on the base results in an out is if theres a Force Out at the base, which there wasn't in this case. You have to actually tag the runner with the ball if theres no Force Out situation
It would be nice if someone would actually release a disc image of that mythical Doom port for the Saturn. Actually, that might be a good episode idea, unreleased games we'd like to see someday.
Wasn´t that second "hooter chick" the one on the "Playboy mansion reality show"??., does anybody still remembers that Hugh Hefner reality show where he had 3 girls that were his girlfriends or something?., man even 2000´s stuff are too old for this age
I was laughing so hard I couldn't even breathe during the whole F-16 Fighting Falcon segment. It reminded me so much of the classic Power Thirst bit. Dunno if that's what you were channeling, but you absolutely knocked it out of the park with that whole section. Bravo!
Watch Pandemonium's interview with the developer of VR Racing, in his review. It's no wonder why they're all so bad. Sega of Japan intentionally sabotaged 3rd parties.
@@kekeke8988 Yeah, it was Sega of Japan who panicked and forced the early release of the US Saturn. And honestly, 95% of the games that stayed in Japan would not have sold well in North America anyway, and certainly wouldn't have saved the Saturn.
The "texture change" issue you mention in that motorcycle game I promptly forgot the name of, is due to bad mipmapping management. Mipmapping is a rendering technique which selects a different texture to display for a polygon as a function of distance. The goal of it being to avoid the heavy pixel flickering that happens when a single texture is used for all distances: by selecting the best texture for the distance the graphics usually feel a lot smoother and nicer. You can generally notice early 3D games which use Mipmapping because on flat surfaces there is a visible transition between those textures at the transition distance. This is particularly visible on driving games because that line usually stays at the same place on screen. In that game's case, either there are two few Mipmapping levels (there seems to be only two when 4-5 would probably be more appropriate) or they just set the transition distance way too close to the camera. You generally notice Mipmapping artifacts on recent games because all GPUs now support anisotropic filtering which blends the two most appropriate Mimap textures as they transition into one another on a per pixel basis. Hope this helps!
Zoomed in graphics in the Neo Geo didn't pixelate because the console actually zoomed out graphics. The real size was the biggest, the normal size was a scaled down version
11:26 - I love that everyone who talks about Hooters Road Trip uses THAT clip, but never makes mention that it's Holly Madison from The Girls Next Door.
You should check out the RUclips Chanel of Rebecca Heineman who handled the 3DO port of Doom. She has a very indepth video about the nightmareish development of that port.
3DO version was ported in 10 weeks time by only ONE PERSON! The soundtrack is quite excellent though compared to most console ports which don't even HAVE music...the music was done by one other person, apparently these were the only two people who actually worked on the game.
It's interesting to note that those Neo-Geo "look at how much better we are" ads got the Genesis and TG16 sprites per scanline and audio channel specs reversed, making the Genesis look extra weak. Even without knowing the specs, anyone who's extensively played both systems knows that TG16 side-scrolling games were a lot more likely to suffer from sprite flicker and while the audio chip produced some awesome chip tunes, it never quite sounded as "real" as the Genesis audio drivers that used all 6 FM + 4 PSG channels, like the ones utilized by Koshiro, Sakimoto and the Technosoft audio guys.
Man I love this channel! I have been watching for years and never has the content dipped in quality once. From one avid hardcore collector to another, thank you Joe for keeping this channel alive. Worst looking games in no particular order. I stopped at 12 but could have gone on for weeks... 1. Wipeout- Saturn 2. Rastan 2- Genesis 3. Desert Strike- Snes 4. Double Dragon- 7800 5. Trevor McFur- Jaguar 6. Golden Axe 3- Mega Drive 7. Total Carnage- 32X 8. Deadly Towers- Nes 9. Moto Roader- TG-16 10. Street Fighter- TG-16 CD ROM 11. Dirty Pair- Famicom 12. Alf- Master System
Have a suggestion for a future episode, how about bad games that have really good soundtracks. Thinking about how games from Ocean Software often have better music than the game itself, thought it would be a good topic for you to talk about.
What games do you feel make a console or platform look significantly weaker than it really is?
The PS1 version of Shadow Man comes to mind with this question
Bill Laimbeer’s combat basquetball on snes, what
an awful game
Probably any black box nes game, except gum shoe

Even without knowing the specs, anyone who's extensively played both systems knows that TG16 side-scrolling games were a lot more likely to suffer from sprite flicker and while the audio chip produced some awesome chip tunes, it never quite sounded as "real" as the Genesis audio drivers that used all 6 FM + 4 PSG channels, like the ones utilized by Koshiro, Sakimoto and the Technosoft audio guys.

I always love the F-16 Fighting Falcon bits but Joe outdid himself this time lol
He has the best hype announcer chops in the business 😎

Hooters girl: Hi! Welcome to Georgia!
Shitty southern accent while wearing an Airizona shirt. 🙄
Between Doom and Hooters Roadtrip, the most motion sickness inducing episode ever!
Have a suggestion for a future episode, how about bad games that have really good soundtracks. Thinking about how games from Ocean Software often have better music than the game itself, thought it would be a good topic for you to talk about.
Bomberman Hero on n64 comes to mind. Average game, top tier soundtrack!
