Looked cool and all, but these drone shots are getting a little over done on youtube. Everybody and their grandmother has a drone these days, it seems.
Yeah...that screen was ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. LCD's in general did not become halfway decent until the mid 2000's. If you replace the screen on a GG with a modern one, you get MUCH better battery life, and most of the games still hold up today. 2D pixel art holds up much better than 3D. You can get quite a lot of GG games on the 3DS Virtual Console too. I have Defenders of Oasis on my 3DS...used to have it for the Game Gear back in the day and had fond memories of it.
I just want to say thank you for continuing to make videos. Your lengthy videos give me tons of enjoyment, and nostalgia, and i really hope you keep it up. You're one of the few that make me forget the hardships i'm currently dealing with in life, and it's awesome to just forget and watch a relaxing hour of your show. Thank you once again Dave and Joe.
The fact that you guys have not only been working together for many years but that you have a real, meaningful friendship comes through on every video. It must be fun working with a close friend. Makes work much more enjoyable.
I grew up playing grindy RPG in Japan. It's normal for me and in fact, when I play modern Western RPG, I tend to overshoot the level requirements and I ruin the game.
Grinding is so relaxing to me. I have many personal stories where I couldn't sleep or couldn't sleep for days, and would grind in whatever portable RPG I was playing to help me sleep.
When I was about 3, Everyone I knew back in the day had a gameboy, I had a game gear. Besides the battery life, I loved it. Sonic, Power Rangers, Lion King, Looney Tunes, Shinning Force. All so fun on this system.
I'm watching the whole series in order and I'm surprised about Joe's *apparent* (we all know Joe and Dave are the Sultans of Sarcasm) evolution (not a change: just an evolution) on his opinion about the GG over the course of these 7 years. I had mine back in 1992, enjoyed, loved caressed and finally destroyed it (confound those shitty capacitors!). Bought it back last year (with brand new capacitors... Or so they say) with a nice Everdrive. Never been happier. This channel has everything one can ask for about gaming. Keep on truckin', dudes!
Freezetusk More like PS3/4 and the Vita with the Master System/Genesis and the Game Gear. I'm pretty sure there was more PS3 games on the Vita than PS4. But the Vita was an amazing piece of hardware (and the Game Gear, well, wasn't), it's too bad that Sony fucked it up.
@Marc Carran And most Game Gear games are the same as the Master System versions but at a lower resolution, while almost every non 2D Vita game that was on PS3, let alone PS4, is severily downgraded, so I don't think it's the same case at all for the 2 consoles.
On the Z80: I helped dismantle one of Zilog's two Nampa, Idaho fabrication plants. I wish I would of held on to the wafers we were able to take home but I had no idea what the Z80 was all about, hell I have no idea if the wafers I had were even related to Z80 designs. We had people from Canon come in to help us dismantle and package the 'chip printers' for shipping. I think most of it was headed to Asia. I want to say Korea, perhaps Taiwan- it was some years ago. Anyways the project was ran by some Italians, and they were super awesome, we drank a bunch of Grappa as the project winded down. Again had I know what I know today... I just wish I could of documented what happened. It was local guys like me from Nampa and an outfit that specialized in dismantling industrial places like a Zilog plant and they were out of Texas but brought in people from across the country. The Canon guys we're really nice, I used to talk to them in my ignorance and they at one point told me that the machines being shipped out of country could of been tooled to make "something" like a 386 or so. I dunno, all I know is a Z80 was mentioned and I'm rambling!
Defenders of Oasis is one of favorite old school RPGs, mostly because of how simple it is. While very cookie cutter, it does have some unique elements, such as how you level up the Genie, which is done fully by items, and each character having a special move. It’s easy and simple but the music and the grindy gameplay do something for me.
I think that if there was one episode of Game Sack that I would say is representative of Game Sack, it would be this episode. Long, in depth, high quality, funny, and a total tour that makes you feel like you know about Game Gear even if you didn't own one.
This video makes me want to start collecting for the Game Gear again. Just hearing all of those sounds and seeing all of those games really brought me back. I got a launch unit back in my Junior year in high school and played the hell out of it until my Senior year. I haven't touched it since then.
Had one of these badboys back in the day. Swapped it for a GameBoy. Not because it was crap (the battery life was atrocious) but because it was so hard to get games in Australia. I'd read about cool new games all the time in magazines & I couldn't even find a copy of Sonic 1. It was like being a Vita owner, only now it's so easy to import.
I saved my Game Gear. The sound had turned to garbage. I ended up opening it up, and taking the sound capacitor off, and replacing it with a brand new one, and presto, she sings again!
Just be careful fixing one of those things. Basically, when removing the capacitors each leg of the capacitor should pull off the solder pad like it is nothing. If you have to pull up with any kind of force, then there is the risk of a pulled pad which could equal a dead gear. A good soldering station with temperature control also helps a lot.
Such an underrated handheld. I had to get the capacitors replaced but the games that I have were all fun! Some of my favs are Streets of Rage 1/2, Arena: Maze of Death, Dragon Crystal, Aladdin, Ax Battler, Tails Adventure, Land of Illusion, Shinobi I/II, Sonic the Hedgehog 1/2, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, and Vampire: Master of Darkness.
The Game Gear never deserved the heat it got. Sure its backlight was pathetic and yea it drained batteries way too hard, but nowadays I think it should be clear to everyone that it had an incredibly library of games and was absolutely amazing!
While I loved my GameBoy just like everyone else, I have many fond memories of playing my Game Gear on long car rides. Sonic 2 and Sonic Chaos were some of my favorite games.
Re: the outro. I remember back when Nintendo decided they needed more 'tude and their "Play It Loud" campaign with different colored GameBoys and commercials with songs by the Butthole Surfers
Thanks to the 3DS VC introducing me to several GG games, I really enjoyed the tiny library available on the system. Happy to see Defenders of Oasis get a mention as that's a hidden RPG gem IMO, but I was a bit sad to see that the SRPGs of the system like Royal Stone, Crystal Warriors and the Shining Trio were all skipped. Oh well, maybe in a SRPG episode
Given it's entirely based on the Master System from just a few years prior, and is even slightly better tech-wise, it's actually impressive how much they were able to shrink it down to even that form factor. But that plus the backlit LCD screen is why it's power consumption on batteries is so rotten. That about sums up nearly all laptops from the time also.
I'm 25, I remember my mom bringing home this case with a video game console and some games in it. At the time I was 7, I had noo idea that I had one of the best handheld portable consoles ever.. I ran it off the 12v ac adapter, but I could play sonic, and grand prix allll day. Not sure where it is.. But I wish I could find it. Good good times
Perfect timing. I found a set that included two Game Gears, 13 games (including two on this episode), a case and a link cable, all for $7.99 at a local thrift on Friday. Of course the Game Gears need capacitors replaced but still was pretty surprised to find them like that.
A buddy of mine had a gamegear and I had a Watara SuperVision. We brought our games on the school bus. but damn his game gear needed 6 batteries and we never got to play very long. 90's memories!!
I'm not very well-versed on the Game Gear, but some of the games you've shown in this video look pretty interesting! I should probably give some of them a shot, I was particularly interested in SiIvan Tale and GG Doraemon, they look amazing! Batman Returns looks pretty good too... Also 19:31 Karnov!
i knew that tingle i felt in my sack wasnt weird, it was an Internal Game Sack Notification! lol i saw Metal Jesus Rocks talk about the Game Gear modding community and i will definitely have to get a new LCD Screen and make sure that i have a power pack, because running on batteries can suck hard with Handhelds. that being said there are quite a few exclusive games on the Game Gear that warrant collecting for it, although not that many.
That introduction shot for the Game Gear and the games was EPIC! Very well done. I miss my old Game Gear and appreciated the TV antenna add on mostly when I was stuck in church. XD
Game Sack Sonic 1 and 2 are the two Games I played the most on the GG never played TrippleTrouble though. Played the Sonic Chaos Game back then on the Master. Its generic but the first Games that come to mind for me thinking of the Gamegear.
Actually never mind - you know whats good - i get that you want to focus on the grat lesser known titels - do it exactly the way you think it should be done
Game Sack, technically not Sonic, but Tails Adventure would be interesting. It's a slower-paced Metroidvania than trying to be a Sonic when the Game Gear doesn't have dat blast processing. :P
Apart from a million spectrum games and a few on the MS, Batman Returns, Shinobi 2, Streets of Rage 2, the Mickey Mouse games on the GG were my childhood. Brilliant and never had an issue with the screen.
So weird why the Gamegear doesn’t get more props. Even Dave was giving it some criticism for not sounding as good as the Genesis. Would the Gameboy EVER even be compared to the SNES? Nope I don’t think so. The Gamegear was far superior to the Gameboy.
So was the Atari Lynx version 2. I had all 3. The Gameboy was more like a fun toy. It has some very good games but it doesn't wow you. The PC Engine was also far better. Shame about the batteries.
The Game Gear was the first system I bought 100% with my own money, and the first system I ever had buyers remorse from. I worked all summer cutting yards (which also meant spending the summer sick as I am extremely allergic to grass), and had just enough to buy this (actually my parents pitched in a few bucks - I did not have enough to cover taxes). It came with Sonic The Hedgehog, which I was excited about - it was my first Sega platform, and Sonic is cool, right? And this thing was in color! It was going to squash that ugly Gameboy! Sadly, Sonic ended up being the hardest game I ever played, and it was not fun at all (unlike the Genesis version, which is a blast). Much like Mega Man, it felt like the levels were meant for a larger screen, and it had poor play controls and didn't run that fast. The first boss battle was almost impossible due to poor hit detection and sloppy controls. I never have seen anything other than Green Hills Zone. What was worse was the selection of games I had available to me. I don't recall Toys R Us ever carrying more than 20 games for it, and I did not care for any of those titles. I think in the end we had Sonic and Castle of Illusion, which my brother bought. I thought for sure I would be able to rent games, but the local video store was Nintendo only store, and carried NES, SNES and Gameboy only. Many of the games I was interested in never made it out of Japan. In the end, I had a Super Nintendo and that was where I put most of my game money. I mean, Streets of Rage for the Game Gear, or Final Fantasy IV for the SNES? Yeah easy choice there. Sonic Dash or F-Zero? Zelda 3 or... No there was no choice there. Ninja Gaidan for the Game Gear, or Super Castlevania IV? On long trips, I normally ended up lending out my SNES and borrowing a friend's Gameboy. My brother had his Mickey Mouse on the Game Gear, I had Tetris and Zelda and Final Fantasy Adventures to entertain me. Over time, I bought two Sega platforms, this and the Saturn. Ouch. My brother bought the Genesis and the Dreamcast. Guess who got more use out of their systems? The Game Gear was such a huge disappointment, that I have absolutely refused to buy another handheld. I play games on my phone and on my tablet, but for the most part, most of my gaming is done on the Playstation or the PC (or NVidia Shield)
That opening mountain shot though was pretty incredible!
Looked cool and all, but these drone shots are getting a little over done on youtube. Everybody and their grandmother has a drone these days, it seems.
As was Joe's open mouth shot. What was with that anyway?
Clone malfunction.
Joe the Mountain King
Did Joe bought a drone?
'A back-lit screen that, in many situations, was almost visible.'
Brutal.
I remember playing in the dark while my sister has this tiny light that had to be angled just right against game boy screen
".. and enough battery life to make it almost 1/3 of the way through a 4-hour game."
- Me, from personal experience
**deadpan** "Ya know what... that's fair."
- Me, from years of SEGA-induced cynicism.
no
Yeah...that screen was ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. LCD's in general did not become halfway decent until the mid 2000's.

Joe's perfect game is all parallax scroling and sound tests.
Sounds like an Amiga demo.
Joe looks like a Canadian phys- ed teacher. Dave looks like a Turkish bicycle salesman. That is all.
spot on dude hahahahah
Blaine Alexander Shaggy from Scooby Doo, if he enjoyed a wider variety of drugs. But, that's neither here nor there.
Rat Fart - I want your near in my there

Mind blown.
thank you for the hard work
Can't get enough of the outros , need a full length movie with these guys

You're one of the few that make me forget the hardships i'm currently dealing with in life, and it's awesome to just forget and watch a relaxing hour of your show. Thank you once again Dave and Joe.
Same here. I've bee watching these episodes over and over since around 2014. They really help to make me forget about other things in life.
Get a life weirdo
That look Joe is giving Dave at the beginning as he is doubtful of his excitement is pretty funny.
lmao
The fact that you guys have not only been working together for many years but that you have a real, meaningful friendship comes through on every video. It must be fun working with a close friend. Makes work much more enjoyable.
This aged terribly 😂
I grew up playing grindy RPG in Japan. It's normal for me and in fact, when I play modern Western RPG, I tend to overshoot the level requirements and I ruin the game.
Most definitely, that was half the game - grinding through a great battle system.
Phantasy Star 1, 2, and 3 were very grindy. I love that series but the grind when you start a new save was brutal.
@@robintst Phantasy star 2 is BRUTAL whit the grinding, but it's fun
I'm pretty sure 90's JRPGs could cure ADHD
Grinding is so relaxing to me. I have many personal stories where I couldn't sleep or couldn't sleep for days, and would grind in whatever portable RPG I was playing to help me sleep.
Starting at 0:18 I thought Joe was having a 'Nam flashback
lol I thought he was pissed off at Dave trying to talk shit about GG.
Clone malfunction

Valin Summers - did you also smoke in the girls bathroom?
19:20 I pictured Joe sneezing out a cloud of white powder when he yelled, "I just freaking love coke!"
they edit that out
OMG, the hours I spent tethered to a wall socket playing Krusty's Fun House. Nostalgia.
*Insert clever comment about how I was doing something vaguely eccentric at 3 am but then decided to watch game sack here*

well hello, night time game players
The Master System and Gamegear remind me of PS4 and Vita with their overlapping libraries.
Freezetusk
More like PS3/4 and the Vita with the Master System/Genesis and the Game Gear. I'm pretty sure there was more PS3 games on the Vita than PS4. But the Vita was an amazing piece of hardware (and the Game Gear, well, wasn't), it's too bad that Sony fucked it up.

Someone probably mentioned this already but there are translations available for so many of the Japanese exclusives including Sylvan Tale.
One of the finest channels on RUclips
I agree
Definitely. Well said!
Kinda boring even compared to smaller, less equipped channels. And these 2 have the personalities of Ben Stein and the fucking Pope. Just saying.
This comment has aged well. No, seriously, this comment aged very well.
Greendog is the gift that keeps on giving.
Had one of these badboys back in the day. Swapped it for a GameBoy. Not because it was crap (the battery life was atrocious) but because it was so hard to get games in Australia.
I'd read about cool new games all the time in magazines & I couldn't even find a copy of Sonic 1.
It was like being a Vita owner, only now it's so easy to import.
I saved my Game Gear. The sound had turned to garbage. I ended up opening it up, and taking the sound capacitor off, and replacing it with a brand new one, and presto, she sings again!
Holy shit, Dave’s scream. Please work that sound effect into future episodes
That intro doe. I laughed my ass off when the drone zoomed in towards the Game Gear chillin on rocks.
When it's 2am and you need something to watch. Love you GameSack
How damn much I love these long episodes of the Game Sack! Intro and Outro are superb!
Sega also created a handheld Sega Genesis called the Sega Nomad.
damn i forgot all about that lol
outstanding episode! The drone scene in the beginning was amazing!
Just be careful fixing one of those things. Basically, when removing the capacitors each leg of the capacitor should pull off the solder pad like it is nothing. If you have to pull up with any kind of force, then there is the risk of a pulled pad which could equal a dead gear.
A good soldering station with temperature control also helps a lot.
Gamesack always delivers quality videos. I love the fact that it reminds me of a video game version of Beavis and Butthead. :)
It's Shinobi of colour, Dave. Not coloured Shinobi.
Woah
Was that supposed to be funny
that beautiful zoom in the forest with the sega game gear is amazing, i love it
Such an underrated handheld. I had to get the capacitors replaced but the games that I have were all fun! Some of my favs are Streets of Rage 1/2, Arena: Maze of Death, Dragon Crystal, Aladdin, Ax Battler, Tails Adventure, Land of Illusion, Shinobi I/II, Sonic the Hedgehog 1/2, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, and Vampire: Master of Darkness.
Wow, a 43 minute episode. Love your videos guys. Thanks for all the work you put into these, they are the absolute best on RUclips.
They really do a good job of making the two week wait for a new episode worth it.
Poor Dave and his Game Boy... xD
Dudes, lots of effort. Great video!
thumbs up alone for the nature shot at the beginning with a drone!
Damn, that drone shot at the beginning was beautiful.
GG Game Sack!
Moogle Midgar gg stands for game gear fukboi
Come on!!!!! we all know GG stands for Good Game :P
Great episode! Top notch offerings from Game Sack. I love these Sundays.
Loved the ending skit! That is so what a 90s SEGA Commercial would have been like lol ... SEGA!!!
My GG was a lifesaver when I was in the military. I spent hours playing games or watching television in the field!
The Game Gear never deserved the heat it got. Sure its backlight was pathetic and yea it drained batteries way too hard, but nowadays I think it should be clear to everyone that it had an incredibly library of games and was absolutely amazing!
I'm still waiting for you guys to finally do an episode on my all time favourite video games console ever - The Sega Mega Drive!!!
I had no idea people were making RGB modded Game Gears. It looks amazing! I think I'll have to eventually get my hands on one. Great job Game Sack!
the way Joe says "greendog" is like a legendary meme now
While I loved my GameBoy just like everyone else, I have many fond memories of playing my Game Gear on long car rides. Sonic 2 and Sonic Chaos were some of my favorite games.
Oh yeah, best show to watch at 2am on a Saturday
It may be 3am but nothing keeps you awake like Joe and Dave talking about the intricacies of the Sega Game Gear.
I look forward to these videos every other Saturday night when I get home. Thanks guys, great episode.

The Game Gear is like one of those things where we compare an old laptop to a current tablet and say "wow, that passed for portable?"
Given it's entirely based on the Master System from just a few years prior, and is even slightly better tech-wise, it's actually impressive how much they were able to shrink it down to even that form factor.

Also 19:31 Karnov!
Silvan Tale is fucking AWESOME
There are a LOT of games worth getting on the 3DS eShop...
Oh... It would have helped if you were a little more specific though...
I've never gotten any Game Gear game on my 3DS so I don't know...
Not mentioned here are Kishin Douji Zenki and Royal Stone, two of the best GG games.
Nice drone shot! Production keeps going up for Game Sack!
Oh man those drone shots in the intro! Too good.
So, when is the Green Dog Game Sack special?
It's going to be a actual motion picture instead of a 30 min RUclips video and it be filmed in Imax 3. Scheduled Release Date is 2019
Hot dog! I can't wait! ....Wait, I mean GAH-REEN DAWG.
i knew that tingle i felt in my sack wasnt weird, it was an Internal Game Sack Notification! lol
i saw Metal Jesus Rocks talk about the Game Gear modding community and i will definitely have to get a new LCD Screen and make sure that i have a power pack, because running on batteries can suck hard with Handhelds.
that being said there are quite a few exclusive games on the Game Gear that warrant collecting for it, although not that many.
this video made me fall asleep...TWICE. I'm not even kidding.
That introduction shot for the Game Gear and the games was EPIC! Very well done. I miss my old Game Gear and appreciated the TV antenna add on mostly when I was stuck in church. XD
Oh finally a GameGear Episode - waiting for those fine Sonic Titels - watching it all the way to the end - you dam trolls
Why would THOSE be the ones you'd be interested in hearing about? Maybe the Chaos ones...
Game Sack Sonic 1 and 2 are the two Games I played the most on the GG never played TrippleTrouble though. Played the Sonic Chaos Game back then on the Master. Its generic but the first Games that come to mind for me thinking of the Gamegear.
Ofcourse Im interested in the other Games - its an amazing episode - its one of those you could watch over and over, bravo
Actually never mind - you know whats good - i get that you want to focus on the grat lesser known titels - do it exactly the way you think it should be done
Game Sack, technically not Sonic, but Tails Adventure would be interesting. It's a slower-paced Metroidvania than trying to be a Sonic when the Game Gear doesn't have dat blast processing. :P
Awesome video once again guys! Since you've now covered the Game Gear & the Game Boy, maybe it's time for the Atari Lynx :-D
KGRAMR I see your Atari Lynx and raise you an NEC TurboExpress
Well, the TurboExpress would be a good excuse to talk about more TG-16/PCE games XD
I would like to see a strategy RPG episode, focusing on games like Vandal Hearts, Shining Force and Fire Emblem.
Apart from a million spectrum games and a few on the MS, Batman Returns, Shinobi 2, Streets of Rage 2, the Mickey Mouse games on the GG were my childhood. Brilliant and never had an issue with the screen.

So was the Atari Lynx version 2. I had all 3. The Gameboy was more like a fun toy. It has some very good games but it doesn't wow you. The PC Engine was also far better. Shame about the batteries.
Yes all of that too 👍
Me: I don't care much for the game Gear...
Joe: It has GREEN DAAWWGH!
Me: (Runs to closest store and buy 3 systems)
Why is Space Harrier holding a smiley face?
Cannot unsee that.
And here I thought I was getting some chores done this evening, but Game Sack published a new video.
Wow! Was that all one shot at the beginning? Dang you beat Scorcase & Spielberg on that one take lol
Spielberg yes, Scorcase NO!
The Game Gear was the first system I bought 100% with my own money, and the first system I ever had buyers remorse from. I worked all summer cutting yards (which also meant spending the summer sick as I am extremely allergic to grass), and had just enough to buy this (actually my parents pitched in a few bucks - I did not have enough to cover taxes). It came with Sonic The Hedgehog, which I was excited about - it was my first Sega platform, and Sonic is cool, right? And this thing was in color! It was going to squash that ugly Gameboy! Sadly, Sonic ended up being the hardest game I ever played, and it was not fun at all (unlike the Genesis version, which is a blast). Much like Mega Man, it felt like the levels were meant for a larger screen, and it had poor play controls and didn't run that fast. The first boss battle was almost impossible due to poor hit detection and sloppy controls. I never have seen anything other than Green Hills Zone.
What was worse was the selection of games I had available to me. I don't recall Toys R Us ever carrying more than 20 games for it, and I did not care for any of those titles. I think in the end we had Sonic and Castle of Illusion, which my brother bought. I thought for sure I would be able to rent games, but the local video store was Nintendo only store, and carried NES, SNES and Gameboy only. Many of the games I was interested in never made it out of Japan. In the end, I had a Super Nintendo and that was where I put most of my game money. I mean, Streets of Rage for the Game Gear, or Final Fantasy IV for the SNES? Yeah easy choice there. Sonic Dash or F-Zero? Zelda 3 or... No there was no choice there. Ninja Gaidan for the Game Gear, or Super Castlevania IV? On long trips, I normally ended up lending out my SNES and borrowing a friend's Gameboy. My brother had his Mickey Mouse on the Game Gear, I had Tetris and Zelda and Final Fantasy Adventures to entertain me.
Over time, I bought two Sega platforms, this and the Saturn. Ouch. My brother bought the Genesis and the Dreamcast. Guess who got more use out of their systems?
The Game Gear was such a huge disappointment, that I have absolutely refused to buy another handheld. I play games on my phone and on my tablet, but for the most part, most of my gaming is done on the Playstation or the PC (or NVidia Shield)

The Saturn has a better library than the Dreamcast... I'd take my Saturn over my Dreamcast any day.
Give me your Sega Saturn if you don't want it. 😁

No way in hell. Sonic Adventure 2 alone is better than the entire Saturn library, and it's a mediocre game at best.
Your production levels are top notch! Keep it up guys!
Joe really loving them drone shots
