Left in the Arcade 8

[@ninjapirate47]

8 of these episodes and you still haven't covered me being left in the Arcade by my mum when I was 8. I was sure this would be the one! Keep it up, Joe. Love ya man and thanks for all the effort that goes in.

I have been a fan and a subscriber of Game Sack for almost 10 years. In fact Joe, your show is so good, that it has taught me english better than anyone in my life. So now that I have enough languange skills, I must say: First time commenter, and a fan for life. Thanks for everything! Keep it up!

[@chaseman94]

That noise in the background sounds like those typewriter noises like in those tv news programs from the 1980s and probably 1970s ( I wasn't born yet so I'm not sure if that's where it started) or a diesel engine chattering away.

[@flemmingpedersen567]

@@chaseman94 That's just white noise... old tv's would sound like that inbetween channels, and microphones that have been gain too much or are cheap sounds like that - typewriters sound much more mechanical.

16:20 We had a 2 player setup for Stadium Cross at our local mall arcade growing up. The controls was the whole motorbike. You had to seriously lean the entire bike body into your turns and you could pull back and lean the bike back for more air on jumps. It was awesome.

[@JeremyHumberson]

my local arcade had this as well and every time i went i had to play it. i loved revving the bike up.

[@joshuadeaton9018]

Another high quality episode. Every person who is interested in retro games should find this channel.

Damn Joe, you did it. I watched every single Game Sack episode ever released, and this one is the first time you covered ONLY games that I never played/knew that existed. Impressive, still finding unknown stuff after so much time.

[@abrahamicreligionsbowbefor3585]

I didn't even realize because I use SponsorBlock and it automatically skipped it. (PS: use SponsorBlock)

[@JazGalaxy]

@@TranquilVisiondoes that hurt the creators? If the creators don’t get money, we don’t get content. Also, it’s a jerk thing to hurt people when you can just as easily not.

[@TranquilVision]

@@JazGalaxy it actually does not hurt the creators, it only saves your time

[@Mimi.1001]

@@JazGalaxy It doesn't hurt creators "right now" (like for this video for example) so to speak, because they have probably already received the money for the sponsorship. But if there would be some way for advertisers to look up the percentage of viewers of the channel who use the add-on, then it definitely does. Because of course they are less incentivized to sponsor a creator, when a majority of the viewers don't see the ad at all. I doubt that there is any way to determine that, but you never know if the people who made SponsorBlock or whatever won't just sell your data to all kinds of companies.

[@B8GViews]

The ending skit is similar to when my furnace kicks in when I'm recording a playthru 😂😂😂

[@escaperoutebritish]

The Sailor Moon beat 'em up is fascinating. By all accounts the game is unfinished. Tons of stuff is in the ROM either finished or partially finished, but disabled. I'd love to see someone like WayForward get this somehow and finish it off.

[@zanegandini5350]

Huh, didn't know that. Though, even if it were finished, the cheap difficulty is a turn-off. With a rebalance and non-cheap toy piano music, it could be amazing.

[@maxrenn7]

That explains the music. Sounds like Seiichi Sakurai probably had 15 mins to make the ost, with no prep time to compose anything, so just went on a jazz odyssey XD

[@Toukozuki]

I'm more surprised that the game has an english version at all. Not sure if the japanese version is less cheap or not.

@@gamingblowsofficial is it 5:40 yet?

[@fromvault801]

I'd totally ask for a home port of a game like CarnEvil. But realized a lot of them are shorter than 20 mins. To bring them home would most likely warrant a lengthier game or complete remake. It's kinda why I'd rather buy certain games in compilations than individually

I definitely miss the prevalence of arcades. From what I recall I never had a bad experience playing any given game with a random person (either co-op or 1v1), it was always a blast. Great work as always!

[@joshuaworman4022]

this series is great. arcades surprisingly dont get talked about enough in the retro community other then fighting games.

[@Latchfpv]

the comically long bend in the video game collection skit threw me for a second, so many subtle touches too regarding how Joe treats the SNES games vs anything Sega, loved it.

[@MGSRobert]

The end looks a lot like the classic resident evil games. Down to the background noise and the movement. Great job, as always.

[@NipplesTheEnchilada2323]

Dolphin Blue looks like it might've been a Metal Slug game at some point in development, as the gameplay is similar and a few of the developers from the Metal Slug games worked on this, as well as SNK Playmore having ties to the company. Never heard of this game until now, though. Very interesting.

[@bigbossman2810]

I'm not sure if they were covered in a previous episode, but you should check out some of these that were never released outside of arcades: 1. The Main Event (Konami, 1988) 2. The Deep / Run Deep (Wood Place Inc., 1987) 3. Mocap Boxing (Konami, 2001)

Just to clarify your experience with stadium Cross, actually you have 2 actions: you can pull you bike in every ramp to do a willie (and jump higher) and there's also a punch button to manually attack the other racers ala Road Racer. With the right arcade setup it was quite enjoyable 😉

That’s why I bought Monster Maulers back in 1995, because it was so super awesome and there wasn’t a port in sight. Still have it to this very day. One of the few PCBs I had that I still hold on it. Also it is worth to mention, that if you play in 2p co-op, you can pull off some cool combined special attacks, which makes it even more fun and spectacular to play. A true hidden Konami gem for sure, and one of my all time favorite arcade games ever. ♡
