Console Crunch #5 - Game Sack

[@rufusray]

I'm so glad you kept doing your thing when Dave left bro.i miss him,but this is by far my favorite channel on the tube.thanks joe.

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

Odd that he hasn't even come back to visit. Him and Joe have always been 💯. I know what the reason normally is, but i'll leave that secret to the RP-ers.

I stood in line at my local Walmart (in Las Vegas New Mexico) for 5 hours, to get the Original Xbox on Launch day, I got Halo and NFL Fever. Such a cool console and great memories.

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

This brought back some memories. I had a Toshiba msx 1 back in the 80s. But in the UK most games were on tape instead of cartridge, had a lot of fun with it and wish I still had it as it was the first computer I had (alongside a oric), so have fond memories of it, though I don't recall most of the games showcased here, perhaps we got a very different collection? Interesting point about Microsoft's investment in the msx, they wrote the basic on every system and also supplied the basic for a number of other systems including apple 2 and others. They also made addon boards for the apple 2 back then as well.

[@Vincent-yx2by]

In the Analogue NT Mini section they talk about the fact the company is planning adapters for other systems. By now they have adapters for cartridges for the Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Atari Lynx and Turbo Grafx16. Systems now go for $220,- Adapters go for $30,-

[@skins4thewin]

Joe, you have good taste! A Link to the Past is also my favorite Zelda game of all time. Not sure if you've played it, but they actually have a Randomizer for the game and it's FANTASTIC! It breathes new life into the game and makes it a whole lot more fun! You absolutely should check it out sometime!

[@stevenstark-com]

for secret of mana, the problem is that you're not playing with friends, this one uses the multi-tap for a multiplayer rpg where you can play as any of the characters at the same time. that's what makes it good.

[@deku812]

RE: the 2016 SNES episode, I think there are enough games left out of the SNES overview to do a part 2. I remember spending entire summers engrossed in KOEI's simulation and strategy games, and it even got a port of an Amiga game called Utopia, which was like a Sim City x RTS. Of course there were also lots of RPGs and multiplats to cover.

[@oculedo9137]

Oddworld Strangers Wrath is a god damned amazing game. Easily in top 10 of all time for me. There's nothing wrong with the controls and you get used to the style pretty quickly.

[@nightshadehelis9821]

My favorite game for the Xbox was Man Hunt. It's such an injustice that nobody ever talks about this work of art. 22It was basically the creepiest "cat and mouse" game ever created. Man it was tense. It really sucked you in and made your butt pucker up while you were hiding as gangs hunted you down. I'd give anything for a remake. Freedom Fighters was a total game changer when it first came out. There was absolutely nothing like it. The story and atmosphere was incredible. It was the first game that introduced me to a story I wanted to learn more about. You started a revolution by recruiting people that you could actually command. Nothing like this had ever been done before. Admittedly, the graphics was kind of disappointing, but the gameplay made up for it

[@dovalink744]

Actraiser music at the beginning brings back so many memories. Great game

[@williammunny1844]

5:32 - PILOTWINGS!!! It’s ironic, cuz that was the first game I saw on SNES too. For some reason, the music to that game is so nostalgic to me. When I’ve had a rough day or rough week, I just throw the Pilotwings SNES playthrough on KZbin, close my eyes, and imagine being 6 years old again… livin it up in 1988. Good times.

[@stevenewsome5306]

[@reviewdle6173]

Hey, when you were mentioning the RetroUSB AVS, at the part where you saw the FCEUX filter and didn't know what that meant, that's the name of a pretty great standalone NES emulator. I reckon that's the default colors before you apply color filters in the emulator. Some people, like myself, prefer it for whatever reason. Just thought I'd mention it!
