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.
Popful Mail
Also, Mickey Mania
"Illegal copy because I don't own the game but want to show it being inserted at the start" ☠😂😂
Oh yeah, didn't notice that until now
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!
My mom was a master at the game
That was my favorite Sega cd game back in the day, had a friend who had that game.
the actual bug that soft locks the game is that if you don't answer the correct question for the guy in the bar the game becomes unbeatable, but lets you keep walking around while you think you're making progress.
Huge effort from The Sack here.
Makes other sacks look shrunken.
So true 👍🏻❤️
just checked my sack, confirmed
I can confirm. Im his sack.
my sack runneth over
God dammmn, Joe!! I can’t even imagine how much time it must have taken for you to capture footage of EVERY SINGLE FU€KING GAME!! That’s impressive. You really do deserve a ton of credit for going above and beyond throughout your entire channel’s history, ensuring that every video is of grade A quality. Thanks for all of the hard work you do, providing entertainment to idiots like me.
say no to the great reset
Joes yo daddy
@@treedeblue Joe is, indeed, my Daddy… and I’m proud of my Daddy.
@@donkeyparadise9276 why bring up politics/conspiracy theories on a video about video games?
Conspiracy? Hahahahaha Poor Blue pill inocent.
The lockdown and fake vacines are also non existent?
And in what part was he talking about politics?
"You will have nothing, but will be happy."
"Stay home, dont have a life. "
If you enjoy all that, then you are a obedient slave
Here sheep sheep...
Wow! The whole Sega CD library?!!? I remember a time when it was too tricky to do an episode with every SuperGrafx game. Now, Joe covers full libraries!! You're a beast sir!
it was tricky because the supergrafx only has 5 games
no joke tho, the ENTIRE library of an addon that only sold 3 million units is very fucking impressive, specially given how expensive some of these are nowadays
Calm down, he's just talking about USA. If he were to cover Europe, that would be a shorter one
@@luka9967 back in that old SGFX ep they only had 4 of the 5 games when they covered the system. Albeit, it's prob easier now with the emulation to cover this stuff, I assume. Either way. Gamesack is improving even beyond their own initial highpoints. Ppl can nitpick about anything but the fact guy makes these with consistent quality is impressive. There have been like three other region-complete library vids in the past year, and he's doing it every two weeks?? Best show for retro on YT! I'm here for it
@@greenkoopa And if he'd covered Japan, we might have seen another surge of excellent fanlations of the RPG & Adventure games the West were too barbaric to appreciate in the 90's.
No.
The sega mega cd/sega cd had a few Japanese.
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.
Came here to defend Sensi's honour, but you covered it for me.
I'm here a year later to say the same
If I had a dollar for every time Joe said "And there you go" at the end of each Game Sack episode, I'd actually be to buy a Sega CD game.
Yep, literally the first thing I say when summing up the video in nearly 100% of episodes the past 5 or 7 years or so.
"Snappy" seems to be a new one or I'm just noticing it now.
@@GameSack yep and since there are 359 episodes, that means I can afford a single game. Or a lot of copies of Who Shot Johnny Rock.
Popful Mail is hands down my favorite Sega CD game!
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 try to get it resurfaced dude
Make sure to patch the localized version to the original pre-Working-Designs difficulty for a more enjoyable experience.
@@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.
What did we ever do to deserve you, Gamesack? Thank you once again, awesome work-
Wonderdog was JVC's mascot in Japan. No idea why the game was developed by Core. It even got an Amiga port in Europe.
Gamesack and Joe making the Sunday a whole lot better😊👍
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.
It is one of the best football games of all time.
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!
Sega of America marketed the FMV capabilities way too hard. Seems like a bad idea at the time and with years behind that decision, we see the damage.
Sensible World of Soccer (1994), which basically is sensible soccer with added managerial elements, received recognition as one of the Ten Most Important Video Games of All Time, by the History of Science and Technology Collections at Stanford University.
Yikes!
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 of course it does. And on an Amiga to be precise. It is still playable and you actually can do all the curved balls you want on a pad, but it sucks. It is after all a game designed with joysticks in mind
I'm mostly a lurker but thanks for the quality content especially Sega-wise, kind regards from The Netherlands
Sega verdient idd alle aandacht
@@drunkensailor112 Mooie retro game kamer heb je!
@@rolandwillemse4202 dankje! Daaraan kan je zien dat ik een enorme sega fan ben. Hij is ook een keer in een power unlimited item geweest. Beneden heb ik alle nieuwe consoles staan. Verzamel jij ook?
@@drunkensailor112 Ja, een beetje nog, ook vooral Europese Sega games, maar sinds de prijzen zo opgelopen zijn al heel wat jaren is het uitbreiden wel flink trager geworden
Thanks Roland!
A great way to finish the night with Game Sack. We're in for the long haul with this nearly 80 minute long video!
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. 😢
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.
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.
Locking yourself out of your appartment without your ID card in Rise of the Dragon is not a bug btw, you can get back in without it another way.
Yes. There was some electrical shit you could do to the door. Loved that game.
Damn Joe. Wish you released this last week during daylight savings so I would have that extra hour to watch this long episode.
The hardest working man in retro does it again
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!
@@GameSack0 nope
Snatcher and Terminator always come to mind when I hear Sega CD
What a way to celebrate the Sega CD's anniversary! Awesome job Joe as always.
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.
@@tolindaniel That's awesome! So cool that you & your folks shared some gaming memories together.
@@eddie8096I used to play the crap out of out of this world on the interplay 10th anniversary disc.
@@maxxdahl6062 hell yeah bro! Awesome game the first you play it.
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.
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 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.
He's British so that comes as no surprise. :)
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.
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 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.
Good memories. My faves were Ground Zero (my first FMV), Eternal Champions, Sonic, Sol Feace, and Sega Classics
Such an infuriating system yet had so much potential
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.
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.
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
yes! he actually did it! now onto the Dreamcast next!
can't wait for that
How about Game Gear before that one 😉?
@@MrJechgoGame Gear has too many games probably the video would be way too long
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.
I like the way you did the transitions between each game. It flows really well that way when you are doing the shorter reviews.
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
I thought the Secret of Monkey Island was on the Sega CD. Did he forget it?
A/X-101 is missing too
@@pattersonkeiththat's literally the second one
Thumbs up for also including several games that were released in other regions. Very mature decision from a very reasonable adult.
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.
The 4 in 1 sega classics also came as a double CD pack with sherlock holmes for LaserActive
That’s the copy I have I think
@@matthewnikitas8905Yeah it's the one I have too. Awesome pack in, I have a soft spot for the sherlock games.
The Sega Cd, Great system. I actually loved all the Fmv games from
Digital Pictures, I thought they were great!
Great video guys. Obviously a lot of work went into it. It’s much appreciated.
Awesome video, really took me back. Love your channel
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
Great video! I love F1 Beyond the Limit. It definitely takes getting used to. But I can play it fine now and the license really is so well used.
It is indeed a very good f1 simulation for its time and still very playable imo
The best start in the day is a new video from Game Sack !
Great work on this. Amazing way to preserve gaming history also.
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.
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.
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!
Amazing episode, what a great channel. The whole library! Over an hour! Thanks Joe
Wasn't there a port of Secret of Monkey Island for the Sega CD? Or was it covered in the video and I somehow missed it...?
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.
Thanks for the awesome Sega content, Joe! Brilliant work as always!
I stayed up to watch this episode! Amazing!
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.
1 hour 18 minutes of new Game Sack. Thanks Joe!
Dude your commentary and humor in this video is extremely funny. Love the tone and honesty.
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.
“I wasn’t really into Power Rangers” yeah sure Joe.
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!
Thank you joe!! For all the content/entertainment 👍👍
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.
It's games like Keio that makes sailing the high seas a worthwhile option.
You sir have presented us with quite a large Sack to digest.
That are quite a few interesting games for the Sega CD that I didn't know about. Thank you for this
Aw, seeing the Batman Animated Series game is just making me sad now. RIP Kevin Conroy, man.
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!
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
Lots of Sega CD (Mega CD to me) that i didn’t know about!
Great video Joe 👍
Most of these games did not age well.. Lol
agreed
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.
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 !
Epic way to end 2022. 👑🎮 Thank GS!
Fantastic and very informative video as usual ^^
I used to have nightmares about the Riddler's VR section in Batman&Robin for years after failing to complete it in 1995, didn't help that my original sega cd would randomly flip out and eject the disc during gameplay funny thing is I bought a Genesis 2 with a sega cd toploader with this game in 2006 and beat it in one night, glad to put that one to bed finally
Bless you Joe for your dedication and craft.
As always great content!! Thanks
Holy cow, the whole library. Epic video!
FINALLY. Thanks for putting this together Joe.
Thanks for doing this Joe! You're the man!
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.
Coury : "You still don't have Sega CD?!" (Heavy breathing)
Joe : "I...kinda do." (Pointing at complete NA Sega CD collection in the background)
Great video, not too long like many, decent job of representing a very underrated CD add on. And copies can be made 1:1 as SEGA CD had zero encryption!
This video broke every one of my nostalgia bones. I used to love the Sega CD and I was surprised how much of the catalog I owned at one point, at least 70% of it. Some of the soundtracks are still in my regular rotation (notably Spiderman, Terminator, and Silpheed). And you're not the only craving a remake of the SCD specific version of Road Avenger.
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.
Thank you so much for keeping gamesack going. You’re the king.
Def want to try that Jeopardy game. RIP Trebek. Great vid.
For NBA Jam, choose the 32X version over this one. It might not strike you at first but I can assure you the graphics look A LOT better. For an arcade game, you have an arcade perfect experience with the 32X Tournament Edition.
This was a great video for an overview of the entire library!
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 😢
Thanks for the most in depth review of games anywhere on the Internet! You guys rock.
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 have definitely become a fan of SEGA in retrospect, largely due to Joe. Keep up the quality content, you marvelous gem of a man.
