Criminally Overlooked Games 8

[@GameSack]

So what are some games you feel should get more attention?

[@ThePerradox]

Merry christmas Joe, thanks for excellent videos this year.

[@Mitch1819]

Perhaps Metal Arms: Glitch in the System for the Xbox/PS2/GameCube? By the way, excellent work as usual, Joe! Happy holidays!

[@thedaily30]

I’d love to see Blue Stinger on one of these lists.

[@YorkshirePeacocks]

I loved predator 2 on mega drive. Gets bad reviews but I find it enjoyable

What's criminally overlooked is that after so many years and episodes. Joe is still putting out bangers.

[@stevengriffiths5914]

The audio levels in Joe's videos are always so well done.

[@enkidux88]

The most addictive KZbin channel ever

[@EaZyKiNg]

The most dickriding comment ever 😂

[@dwood78part23]

Possibly the last Game Sack video of the year. Merry Christmas everyone & see ya in the New Year.

[@gabrieldias3479]

Merry Christmas to Joe and his loved ones! Also to everyone in this lovely community! It's been a great year, y'all! 😊❤

Happy New Ears 🍗

You deserve an Oscar for pretending to NOT love Greeeeeendog!

[@manuginobilisbaldspot2]

I literally said, "Is that Rutger Hauer" at the same time 🤣...Sega taking liberties with the photos evidently!

[@Sandman_Slim]

He would've made the movie great.

[@fan0000]

Nothing beats a late night Saturday night like a new game sack episode great way to keep the late night rolling

[@616Entertainment]

Thank god, I needed some Sack tonight.

[@HaakonAnderson]

The Sack is Back!

[@archer6979]

These criminally underrated/overlooked game series is probably my favorite. Thanks for all the great content thru the years your work is very much appreciated

[@brandonjenkins6381]

Merry Christmas Joe and everyone behind the scenes that helps make Game Sack possible

[@joedent3323]

Thanks 😊

I hope you didn't throw Black Fire. That case will shatter into a million pieces and you'll NEVER get it out of the carpet!

[@CatzM1928]

Another game that *could* be considered as overlooked is "Kick Master" for the NES. It's one of my favorite ones (it was actually one of the first videogames I played in my life, 32 years ago. Maybe that was why I loved "Guacamelee!" two decades later); Joe talked about it back in early 2020. I rarely find other old school players who know it, which is a shame.

[@thebrammerhammer23]

The last and final game sack of the year 🎉.

[@SuperSoundtracksEX]

I’ve just seen the new Game Sack logo because I’ve been away from the internet for a while and HOLY CRAP, it looks amazing.

[@mikedx42]

Rambo 3 was the first Genesis game I ever played. I bought the console with Sonic and rented 3 games - Rambo III, Quackshot and Streets of Rage. This episode represents the first time in 30 years anyone has talked about this game 😊

[@juiceala]

A few recommendations of criminally underrated Looney Tunes titles... -Looney Tunes Sheep Raider (PS1) -Bugs Bunny Lost in Time (PS1) -Bugs Bunny and Taz: Time Busters (PS1) -Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a Half Century (N64) -Taz Express (N64) -Speedy Gonzales (GB) -Bugs Bunny & Lola: Operation Carrot (GBC) -Looney Tunes (GB & GBC) You can tell I been playing a lot of Looney Tunes games and while many range from mediocre to decent enough, those were the ones that stood out for me as incredibly good.

[@jeffm5056]

Sunday mornings are for Jesus and Game Sack. If I don't make it to heaven, I hope I at least make it to a 90's game room. Merry Christmas, everyone!

[@Phantasystar77]

Rambo 3 was really good. I played a ton of it back when it was released.

[@goldskarr]

Havent seen this channel pop up in my subs for a long time. Nice to see you at it still. Also sick Take On Me intro.

[@Zrowitflo54]

Final one for the year! Happy new year!

[@skykid4000]

Joe, thank you so much for putting the time and effort into your videos. I really enjoy your humour and narration. The little skits at the end. The music to your credits. All just top quality. I can tell you put your heart and soul into it. So I raise a glass to you this Christmas. Wishing you a happy SEGA of Japan Christmas to you and yours.

[@MartinBarreby]

Great stuff, and a great video as always! Not sure about the rest of you, but seeing Joe cry really made this Christmas one of my favorite ones so far. Thank you Joe for your suffering!

[@budsunny]

Gotcha Force is such an awesome experience. It’s the best GameCube game, at least in my opinion.

[@ThroughAGlass_Darkly]

Ah yes, Rambo III starring Roy Batty 👌🏻

[@lostapostle76]

I do remember many a Sega friend visiting us for Christmas to play our SNES games. It went back n forth cause we'd be playing every sports release on Genesis.

[@JoystickJohnny]

Great stuff as always Joe. Super happy to see some love being given to the very criminally overlooked Blur. It was so much fun and I was surprised they never made another one.

[@SophiaNyx]

master system choplifter is goated but that 360 looks alright too

[@jam237]

Thank you for another great year of Gamesack see you next year!

[@skywalkerranch]

Thanks for all your efforts once again, Joe. I hope you have a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

[@GarlicMonoxide]

Consistent, every Sunday like clockwork. Good morning! We are blessed with another episode.

[@indieemil]

Again - the ending skit; pure kino! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Joe! :D

[@Unquestionable]

Great look at lesser known titles for sure. Guardian's Crusade is a game I picked up almost 15 years ago for dirt cheap and had a great time with it, nice little breezy casual RPG for whenever you don't want something overly demanding but still engaging. Recall having an issue of Tips and Tricks which had a full walkthrough and honestly was surprised at how much content the game has.

[@AmberShort]

Merry Christmas to you Joe. 🎄❤And also never forgotten, Dave. 🎄❤

[@GameSack]

Thanks Amber!! :D

[@KasumiRINA]

Rambo 3 is one of those games that had a good Taiwanese port on Famiclones so many people played it even without Mega Drive, the SEGA version was also featured in Four Rooms, where a barely conscious Maris Tomei is trying to hit that helicopter as Ted retells her the story so far. That movie is also severely underrated the scenes with Jennifer Beals still get quoted in my family)

[@greenmonkeygonenonparielof1718]

watching your ending skit i knew Greendog would be one of the gifts as you opened it! classic Joe

[@terriblecoughing4767]

Merry Sackmas everyone

[@awake4ages]

Hey Joe, just want to say a very happy Merry Christmas. Thanks for making Game Sack.

[@SFJPMoonGames]

Finally watched the Game chasers film this morning. You did good.

[@GameSack]

Thanks, I hope!

[@z0m813]

I feel like game sack videos are never long enough

[@Born2Rune]

As a guy who lives in Nottingham UK, I can confirm that Robin Hood Prince of Thieves for the NES is exactly what its like, including the giant Skeleton of Bulwell. Merry Christmas Joe, here's to another year.

[@DonaldHendleyBklynvexRecords]

Let us all take in this great Sack

[@SixtySixHundred-1982]

As someone who actually did receive Batman Returns for my Megadrive one year, I feel your pain, sir. I really do. Thank you for keeping my silly English face smiling for all these years. Merry Christmas, Joe. 🎁🎄

Thank you..just broke my elbow on 4 places a week ago..this is gonna make my pain so much bearable

Ouch!

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

Time to give joe some appreciation i say...

[@AfterBurnett]

Those first-person segments are third-person segments, Joe :P LOVE Rambo III.

[@GameSack]

LOL you're right. I don't know why I said first person.

[@AfterBurnett]

@@GameSack Don't worry, I wouldn't have pointed it out if I wasn't a dickhead LOL

Hello there Joe and another great show as always thanks again you have a great Xmas and New year

[@willrobinson7599]

Blur was excellent , still play occasionally today Rambo for a launch title and such a small cartridge size as u say was playable enough but didn't really show what the megadrive could do

[@nazgulsenpai]

Merry Christmas GameSock.

Merry Christmas, Joe! Merry Christmas, fellow Sackers!

[@BocaRetroGames]

Merry christimas Joe ! Tks for all those years of fun.

The final Sack of the Year!

[@rcdr0614]

Had a lot of fun with Robin Hood back in the day. You could even replay the ending cutscene all you want.

[@llpBR]

Merry Christmas Joe :) I hope Santa brings you a nice bag of charcoal so you can barbecue your LJN games. Cheers!

[@KasumiRINA]

1:18 A bow. Just a bow, not a crossbow. Crossbow is the slowly reloaded thing that you fire bolts with by pressing the trigger, bows are the things you stretch and release. Rambo is more Robin Hood than William Tell.

[@stephandolby]

25:10 Oh look, the 2006 Tool logo. ;) Thanks for the episode, and have a wonderful Christmas.

[@Sharki33]

Merry Christmas Joe... Hope the next year will be a fantastic time for you.

[@mrmike18]

"There's a lot of brown in this game, but not so much to make you think it's an X-Box 360 title"... I forgot how gamers used to complain about that, until Joe reminded us. Awesome! :)

[@jessragan6714]

Regarding the end sketch: at least they didn't give you a copy of Art Alive, right? Art Alive: the gift that keeps on taking your will to live!

[@hemangchauhan2864]

I see Game Sack thumbnail, I click

[@gariantroll2975]

El Viento was one of my favorites!

[@thingsiplay]

Joe uploads a new banger. Let this "sack" in for a moment.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

This episode of game sack opened up my inner love for mazes that started from playing ramboIII on my late friends Japanese megadrive.... Thank you mr Reddifer for awakening this sudden realisation within me. Edit. Skit music from xmas nights really took me back.... I remember getting that disc and being so happy 😅

[@vix_in_japan]

17:38 just realized that's Brighton in the UK, where I used to live. Or at least it's very strongly modeled after it.

[@culturedbrother]

So, essentially i will never be able to play Choplifter HD. Screw digital only crap.

[@atomicskull6405]

There's a lot of H.P Lovecraft references in El Viento.

[@shinvelcro]

I see El Viento on the thumb nail and that is all I need to click. Great OST as well.

[@DiamandiL]

There's only one bearded man with a sack that I care about, and it ain't Santa.

[@qmto]

Oh good, a reason not to go to bed.

[@michaelwalsh3474]

Blur is a great game. It's a shame it didn't get a sequel.

[@mageius]

Glad I'm not the only person that has played Robin Hood. It really is a solid action RPG for the system.

[@wettuga2762]

At 8:32, "What took you so long? GET ME OUTTA HERE!" (sliced by helicopter blades) That version looks awesome, I'm going to download it from the Ouya Store! Who cares if the service is no longer available 🙂

[@toostepsback5119]

Merry Christmas Joe, nice episode as always!

[@TooBokoo]

FYI, for anyone who really wants to play Choplifter HD, just raise your sails and take to the high seas. It's quite easily obtainable for PC and runs on a potato. All hail PC versatility.

[@MD_Chaos]

Bit of an interesting tidbit about gotcha force. It actually runs on the same battle system as the gundam vs games, as capcom developed those at the time. I haven’t played too much of gotcha force, but it was pretty fun of what I did play.

[@bernie2237]

The SOA christmas gag killed me laughing 😂

[@kodybuffettwilson]

The boss battles in Rambo III are still in third-person, not first-person, it just goes from a bird's-eye perspective to a behind-the-back one.

[@cjh0751]

I knew green dog would be a present. That's a given.

[@Sidewalk1986]

I totally agree that Blur is an overlooked game. Another game I feel is overlooked is Octahedron.

[@SharifSourour]

Because of initial controversy, Biomutant is criminally overlooked. It’s a pretty unique and fun game!

[@DrLeoGoblin]

Blur is such a great game, I've played it back in the Xbox 360 era. It's a shame you can't find it in any digital store to play it today. You will need a physical copy. Merry Christmas, everyone!

[@matthomer1224]

Rambo 3 was one of the first games I had on my mega drive. I played it to death. Was really impressed with the boss battles, they bkew my little mind.

[@superroboted]

The Japanese version of Gotcha Force has a radar map to show you where you are in the game. I got the US version of this used for $19.99 from Game Stop back in 2008.

[@SamusEny]

i bought blur because it had a track in Brighton where i live, it really wasn't worth it

[@starlightrevenant]

About Gotcha Force, that game uses Gundam Federation vs Zeon mechanics, since Capcom developed it and would use it's mechanics for an original title as part of the supposed Capcom Five for the GameCube (since Dead Phoenix was cancelled and Gotcha Force could have been in its place.)

[@B8GViews]

If Greendog wasn't one of the games in the end skit, I was gonna unsubscribe lol. Merry Christmas!

[@juiceala]

I've always liked Rambo for the Mega Drive, it's a decent licensed game and doesn't get much love... similarly the MSX Rambo game is also decent adventure game that predates Legend of Zelda by a year yet doesn't get much love or attention.

[@arccrenshaw8391]

I see Joe... I click like... sometimes even twice!!

[@jebronlames5997]

I thought Dave was on the thumbnail but it was just Rambo again. They look so much alike!

[@JamieCrookes]

Dedication to content is wrapping up your own shit sega games to unwrap for a bonus ending! Merry christmas Joe!

[@Makeshift_Mulder]

8:18 Maybe Choplifter was taken off the store for constantly repeating that "Don't Ask / Don't Tell" joke on the radio chatter

[@ramon88us]

Wow that helicopter in Rambo is definitely Blue Thunder/Thunder Blade. It is also a Sega game after all.

[@ChaoticHoly]

The skit reminds me of when my old man gave me the same gift three years in a row: Batman Revenge of the Joker on Genesis.

[@MigrantBirdStudio]

Fantastic episode! I was so excited when I saw Guardian's Crusade. Thanks for all of the great content that you deliver and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@salinaember9527]

el viento reminds me of toxic crusaders on the genesis. which i would say is overlooked. also, i was about to say nascar rumble is overlooked during the blur segment. glad you mentioned it. its a fun kart racer if you prefer retro. another game id mention is yu gi oh duelist of the roses on the ps2.

[@irfanafendi4837]

Blur IS awesome! Check out Split/Second too, it's like Burnout but with lots of explosions! The Nintendo DS also has a lot of overlooked gems worth checking out. In particular, Retro Game Challenge and The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road. Your channel is the best! See you next year, Mr. Redifer! 👍

[@crunchinjelly]

God, I loved Blur.

[@noteimporta1216]

I think the final skit tells us Joe is done with the GREEEEEEEENDAWG meme.
