[@GameSack]

What are some more games that didn't get released outside of North America that you might like to see on the show?

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

Thank you Joe, as you know this has been a hard time for me as my old man passed away recently. Your vid has just come on whilst we are at his property sorting affairs... its hard because this is the house where all my gaming pretty much was and my collection before life dictated I had to sell because doing an adult in tough times.... still.... thank the lord for emulation aye? Stay you joe.

[@AHMEDSONICMOE-E.Bravery7]

Is final fight streetwise count?

[@Vulpas]

Secret of Evermore, I think.

[@ZacBobisKing]

Peggle for the DS LOL XD

[@skibidi.G]

love you champ 🏆 bro , Joe

[@willkelmanpenapena3551]

The fox hunt sketch was spot on

[@ulubulu_]

So good! Really shows how elevated Joe’s editing skills are

[@DarkReturns1]

I wasn't ready 😂

[@Finnisher_DAD]

The end skit was pure gold again! Gimme back my prostrate!

[@HypnoGenX]

Not gonna lie, the accuracy of the ending skit really impressed me. Nailed all the artifacting.

[@misdirections]

HOLY COW you nailed that Fox Hunt parody sketch! It's exactly how that dumb ass game was like!

[@Paulnap]

Even has the 60hz hum jajaja

[@johnellis3383]

Wow, I always like the after credit skits but this one was AMAZING! Bravo and thank you for all the years of excellent entertainment!!!

[@Ambient-Drive]

He did it all! The distorted sound, the slight pauses at each cut, the screen tearing... beautiful work, Joe!

[@DP12321]

He's surpassed most sitcom runs at this point.

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

Oh man, that FMV parody was so good. I legit laughed so hard it scared my dog who then farted and I'm now typing this in the stink cloud. 10 out of 10.

[@bananachild1936]

That last bit is easily one of your best works ever. Reminds me of the old fun KZbin-ing days before 90% of its content uploader became sponsored corporate shills.

[@LBPreviews]

How the heck did he match the compression and everything so well? lol

[@EuropeanQoheleth]

Oh youtube was bad beack in the day too. 30 second clips of ''my cat jumped onto the table'' and furious antitheist rants.

[@agustindanielgimenez9483]

Nascar Rumble is one of my favorites ps1 games, there is a sequel that drops the Nascar license and expand the gameplay greatly, it is Rumble Racing for PS2

[@DarkCybrid]

My brother and I have so many hours in those two games, I still have our original copies we got brand new.

[@RobotacularRoBob]

I like Rumble Roses, the Third one where they drop the cars completely and it just becomes a wrestling game with babes.

[@JimLeonard]

OMG Joe the work put into the ending sketch is fantastic. The low-res (possibly 8-bit) quantized audio in places, the color quantization, and the pauses are FANTASTIC. I applaud your attention to detail.

[@starlightwitch12]

Apparently Timothy Bottoms, who played the main villain of Fox Hunt, was also in American Hero, which was an unreleased Atari Jaguar game, that got later released for modern consoles and PC years later

[@GameSack]

I didn't know that, interesting!

[@TalkSickMass]

Bottoms also reprised his role but only to record new dialogue for voiceovers. It really shows how much care he has for everything he's been involved with.

[@robertpeacock894]

American Hero plays very similar on the Jaguar CD. They updated it for current consoles and it’s quite good. Although the boobies are taken out.

[@ryballs4569]

That ending was amazing. Thanks for making this.

[@gryphonofmight]

I love that the new intro wasnt a one off

[@Zontar82]

dude the last part was perfectly done, pure gold

[@ECTOdash1]

The accuracy of that end skit is incredible. The screen tearing!

[@Turbo_Waitress]

I’ve never heard of Monster Tale before, but it looks really neat.

[@tekkaman-blade]

Wow! That Game Sack Edition of Fox Hunt looks awesome! Seriously, you captured the look of that game so dang perfectly, Joe! Most impressive!

[@PapaBPoppin]

I never thought I’d type the following sentence Joe, I want Sack Hunt more than anything else in my life

[@Pridetoons]

I've been trying to recommend Monster Tale to people for years! Thank You Game Sack!

[@KBABZ]

That's some really good animation on Monster Tale! Very satisfying to watch Ellie go through her attacks, makes you wanna keep doing 'em! Also, LOVE that you included the screen tearing for the end sketch.

[@backlogbusters]

That new intro is still so impressive and fun!!

[@ryballs4569]

The fart sound is back but in HD.

[@kennethd4958]

Best part of insomnia is seeing a new Game Sack video on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

[@StRoRo]

It's a part of my Sunday morning routine. Have a lie-in, wake up, chech for Game Sack and then spend another 20-30 min in bed watching.

[@kennethd4958]

@@StRoRo Haha yep I’ll usually watch it when it’s released and then again the next day because my tired brain didn’t retain all the information the first time lol

[@emerlforgotten]

Your finest work yet, that first second really moved me

[@tuffasgong]

Game sack!

[@terriblecoughing4767]

Right before my flight later today. Thank for all the entertainment and the work that goes into making it, Joe.

[@walksinrain]

SICK intro animation, Joe! And that ending skit with the screen tearing and perfectly fucked audio: Muy bueno, senor

[@Quimbyrbg]

I listened to this like a radio play while I mowed the yard and that outro skit was trippy to listen to without context. Brilliant as always, I really enjoyed it once I came back and watched the visual portion of the episode.

[@FryboyFabricates]

love the new set intro

[@GeminiJay654]

The end sketch --- absolute hilarity. It's exactly like this too hahaha. I love it.

[@anibalromero619]

Hungover as crap but glad to see a new episode

[@FoxMan_FF]

Glad to see you're shining some light on Monster Tale! That game is criminally underrated- it was supposed to get a 3DS re-release as well, but that never came to be, sadly.

[@TonyLikeGames2]

I hope there's a Saturn version of Fox Hunt: Game Sack Edition.

[@worsel555]

I have been wanting to see what it would take to port the game over to the Saturn, but unfortunately I have pretty bad Chronic Fatigue and have to put all my energy into making a living and taking care of where I live. Hell, I can't even finish a Saturn video I was working on and it was at 50% 😢. I can reach out to the Saturn dev community who make language patches and even new games, but I don't want to unless I was 100% serious that I could complete it. I don't want to let the dozens of us fans down.

[@MisterTorgo]

As a vetern of several 90s FMV games, that skit at the end gave me flashbacks. Well done!

[@RanorPhlebiac]

Joe, Gamesack is my favorite show on KZbin, by a mile. Fantastic work, for years. Your attention to detail, your humor, the way you talk about games. Simply great.

[@Yamigata]

One of the best ending skits in a long time

[@musickid43]

I love all the little detail in that ending skit. It even had the half second pause to load the next scene on any input.

[@agustindanielgimenez9483]

I love to see these videos at 4 am in my country

[@2Plus2isChicken2013]

I watched this just after it was uploaded last night, laying there sick with a coughing fit, and when 19:44 happened I just about couldn't stop laughing, which is not good when you have a cough like that! WHY would it be in the fridge? It's always funny when you tell us what you think it sounds like they're saying. Never gets old.

[@HikikomoriMedia]

You gotta admire Joe deliberately editing in screen tearing between frames in the closing skit.

[@cax1175]

Hi Joe! Congrats on 300k very soon.

[@GameSack]

Less than 200 to go.

[@timthompson8235]

Nice fresh new sack.

[@Wuggyboobeaufuf138]

Not a bad Brando impression!

[@GameSack]

LOL thanks.

[@Googlesucksballs]

Fox Hunt was such a fever dream of a FMV game. I'm bummed out it never got a remaster on PC and consoles like a lot of the 90s FMV games did when that genre of games was getting that small revival years back when stuff like Night Trap, Double Switch, Corpse Killer, and Ground Zero Texas were all getting re-releases.

[@GameSack]

I think with games like Night Trap and some of those Sega CD games, there's a bit of nostalgia even if everyone knows the game is bad. Same with Plumbers Don't Wear Ties because AVGN covered it years and years back and it became infamous. With Fox Hunt, most people aren't even aware that it ever existed.

[@Stone8age]

With this video you gonna hit 300k subscribers.

[@vlairallan3679]

The end skit here is pure gold, the video editing, the acting, the technical components. Kudos to you for putting that together!

[@ParsnipCelery]

WOW! That intro was so good! I loved it! The skit at the end was great too!

[@Lost_n_Found_1]

Love the skit. So well done!

[@nicotoscani8270]

That end skit is by far the best FMV game ever made. 😊

[@Lost_n_Found_1]

Contra Force: Iron Smith Burns Beans

[@scrub_jay]

LMAO, the editing of the end skit is completely perfect. So well done

[@dbzeh6837]

The post credits scene is exquisite. You have outdone yourself.

[@double-helix-22x22y]

I'm certainly having a ball watching game sack. A sack filled with fun.

[@jessragan6714]

And balls!

[@worsel555]

I have to say I was surprised to see Fox Hunt in the thumbnail, so even though I am super tired and I am sure that it's going to get dragged, I am gonna stay up and watch this episode. I know I am like the only fan of of the game, so much to the point where I worked to get the English version of the movie Capcom released overseas to try and recover some of the lost money preserved and archived. Yes, that was a thing. Yes, Gary Coleman is in it. UPDATE: Holy cow, you actually brought up the movie! I am impressed!

[@GameSack]

LOL. Long live Gary Coleman. He used to live a short distance from me for a brief time. Never ran into him though.

[@PapaBPoppin]

@@GameSack you /certain/ that's the phrasing you want when describing your proximity to Gary Coleman? 🤔

[@GameSack]

@@PapaBPoppin Holy crap that took me a few seconds, LOL

[@Jesse__H]

Ahh, a fresh 'Sack before bed. Nothin beats that!

[@neo6289]

YES JOE THANK YOU

[@panzerdragoonss4021]

That was a cool opening, Joe.

[@jam237]

Oh man i want that outro on my Sega CD

[@DirtyCherdy]

This video had me sold at the fox hunt pic.

[@jamesburchill7522]

Nifty new entrance. Fantastic work as always, Joe.

[@ALTDOK667]

SAAACK!

[@ViniVHSoares1993]

I absolutely love Nascar Rumble, the tracks, the weapons, the music, it's one of the best racing games on the ps1 and it's definitely overlooked.

[@rodmunch69]

Digital Foundry should do an in-depth look at the screen tearing issues in that ending skit and compare it to the real thing. Very impressive.

[@Thingamajiik]

I used to do Pinball Graphics and Modifications on VPinforum and i'm a bit dissapointed because the Frankenstein Machine had its coin sfx removed Frankie Boi would say "SEGA" on Coin-up😂 I was reminded by DeNiro's Frankie Boi Makeup in your Thumbnail! 🤔

[@NeoTanner]

Good to see Nascar Rumble getting some well deserved love and compliments!

[@MyNamesNotLars1]

United States of Gamesack!

[@JJKoester]

You've never done a bad sketch at the end. This was among the best.

[@GameSack]

Aww thanks man!

[@Philroq7]

That Fox Hunt skit in the end was brilliant 😂

[@pauloa.7609]

The first game looks great!

[@shigshug8581]

Game Sack is back for the attack to attract in fact.

[@pda1799]

That Game Sack edition game graphics look really nice - FMV is the future!

[@horst5511]

Good stuff!

[@skykid4000]

Aha!! Caught this 11 minutes after uploaded. A fresh sack!! Straight outta the shower. Good to see you joe. Thanks for this instalment. 😎

[@donaldsmith5667]

that skit at the end was fkn awesome

[@50shadesofbeige88]

Wow! That skit was a feat of editing. Fantastic work sir!

[@Francisco-Danconia]

As always, it's insanely criminal that this channel has only 300k subs man... Been loving your content for years

[@niemand7811]

The way you talk about Contra Force and how it is more like a prequel before they start hunting cyborgs makes sense. Nice twist nobody saw coming.

[@enderblazer479]

Cool sick new intro a new era of Game Sack has just arrived

[@vidarlystadjohansen9829]

the end sketch was a masterpiece

[@VRHyoumaru]

I feel "games" should be in massive quotes here, some real weird ones in this episode.

[@williamRE]

Your new intro smashes game sacks 🎉

[@vallaurianv6024]

Brilliant! Loved that ending sketch

[@MzuMzu-nx1em]

Happy New Year, Joe. Better late than never

[@Sweet4ooth]

Love your passion for getting the right audio levels and thanks for sharing them that's a great touch! The skit at the end was hilarious too, great episode Joe.

[@rai5169]

I loved playing Contra Force during my childhood. Destructive environment , crazy powerups and any time switch between characters was something new for me in Contra series. My brother and I had so much fun playing this game.

[@williamtatlock230]

Left in North America Never taught there was such a thing . TY

[@gligarguy4010]

The guy in the red beret on Fox Hunt is Timothy Bottoms who plays the main character "Jack" on the FMV game America Hero that unreleased until recently

[@Nintendo85]

I've owned Frankenstein on Genesis since release and I've NEVER made it past the first level. You should do games that you never got past the first level whether they are difficult or just boring.....or both!

De Niro was great on the SNES. Definitely deserved that award.
