Simpsons Games - Game Sack

[@grongy6122]

A Game Sack episode? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within my living room!?

[@HindsightWithHustle]

Yes.

[@ninjapirate47]

[@canag0d]

May I see it? No

[@jendorei]

Not only in your living room, in my bedroom too!

[@rodrigomarcondes5857]

stop motion animation, clay animation for a one off episode and now you're doing hand drawn animation for another one off episode. Major props for the effort

[@melancholas]

Hey Joe, you seem to be a perfectionist, but honestly your animation parts of yourself are great. Thumbs up!

[@mx3fto]

Tony Deaf is low-key hilarious. That's a better joke than in most modern episodes

[@chaseman94]

Not only that Paul Walker was a visual engineer what was he thinking? I guess he was just here until his acting career took off.

[@oldschoolm8]

It’s sad. It’s like seeing a loved family dog going blind, bumping into things and messing everywhere. The Simpsons needs to be put down, it’s just....well, awful now.

[@bimapringgo]

"Is there a Tony here? Tony Deaf?"

[@Holothurion]

A credits name is a far better joke than complete modern seasons. D'oh!!

This seriously has to be the best episode you've ever done. Major thumbs up for the animation!

[@theeturnone]

agreed. . def top 10. . NO TOP 5!!!!

I always felt that “Road Rage” should have been called “Hit & Run”, and vice versa.

[@klaymusic5939]

*slide whistle intensifies*

[@klaymusic5939]

This episode would’ve been perfect to sample Dave from previous episodes going “That’s right Joe!” and animate him nodding his head. Real Dave being back would be good tho

[@TurboVolcano1988]

Pointless fact: Virtual Bart was the first Simpsons game where the voice actors recorded actual dialogue for it. All the games before that use samples from the show.

[@medes5597]

First for home consoles. The simpsons arcade game features original dialogue as well.

I hear if you pour a glass of tang and say "hidden gems" three times in the bathroom with the lights off, Metal Jesus appears and forgives most of your sins.

[@Wajang1]

In future you can just draw Dave in screen for the show. 😁

[@marakarthegreat]

I can't believe you got Matt Groening to do the animation

[@Hellwyck]

Film Roman and Gracie Studios do the animation on the Simpsons. Groening just oversees the job.

[@tombstonejones9581]

Hats off for the animation, and thank you for making a comprehensive video for their releases, everybody covers Road Rage, Hit & Run, or Skateboarding.

[@Debbie-qs2xo]

There were some game boy exclusives missing. Which isnt a huge surprise as most dont known of them. But im kinda surprised he didnt atleast mention them briefly.

[@RetroRuss]

Hi I'm Joe Redifer. You may remember me from such Game Sack episodes as "Piss-Poor Ports!" and "How to Clean Your Stupid Games!"

[@twicethemegapower3995]

Moleman: "Didn't this series used to have a Dave in it?" Come on, get up! You've been warned!

[@jeevesss7752]

The whole alien and glasses thing in Bart vs the Space Mutants was a parody of John Carpenter's They Live.

[@Swordslinger-hb1ns]

There’s one Simpsons themed game you forgot to mention and that’s the DMA designed Lemmings like game Krusty’s Super Funhouse for the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Amiga, Game Gear, Game Boy, NES, and of course PC.

[@NintendoComplete]

I know I'm in the minority, but I loved Bart vs. The Space Mutants! And I agree, the NES version is way better than the Genesis version. (Btw, to use the rocket, once you've put it on the ground, run into it to launch it at the statue. You can also fire at the E in the Kwik E Mart sign and at the windows at the retirement home.) I enjoyed the video, thanks! :)

[@amandawashington4239]

I thought I was the only one! But then again, I was very poor growing up, and it was either that game, or reading. Which I also did a lot of.

[@zmbdog]

I loved that game too. I still play it once in a while.

[@andresportingbraga]

The sega master system was amazing, I loved the game through a d through

[@ThoroughlyBaked]

@@amandawashington4239 I got two games a year back then. On birthday and Christmas. If I picked a crappy one, then I was stuck with it and just learned to love it. Like some weird video game version of Stockholm syndrome I guess.

[@irfanafendi4837]

Hey, man! What's up, what's up... 😎

[@marchitn]

Virtual Springfield on the PC was probably my most authentic Simpson experience. To be fair its a point and click adventure with no real "objective" or means to win. But it was fun to explore Springfield and see all the attention to detail/easter eggs to the most popular episodes.

[@ShinoTakado]

Joe, I don't want to alarm you, but there may be a Greendog or GREEEENDOG in the house!

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

I legit own a sealed copy. My mom found it with a bunch of Christmas gifts after my Grandmother passed away (love you Grandma ❤🙏).

[@Sandlerverse]

This is an underrated joke

[@neverwin2518]

I appreciate how much time I know it had to take to do all that animation by hand. Nicely done!

[@PriceAintRight]

I'm gonna be honest. The fact that you've gotten BETTER since going solo is insane. Amazing episode.

@10:58 - The Simpsons arcade was ported to DOS (of all things!), my friend had it growing up, but it's like 16 color EGA or something ridiculous. It's the same levels and enemies, but... the experience is not great vs emulating the arcade version.

[@mr.vidjagamez9896]

[@icecoldduff2176]

This channel is so underrated, thank you gamesack for the quality content.

[@skins4thewin]

I just wanna note that it was really great seeing Dave back for at least one episode recently. But it also made me realize that you really are doing a fantastic job even by yourself, still coming up with creative & awesome ideas to keep the show fresh, like what you did here animating yourself in the Simpsons style. That sort of stuff sets you apart and makes the show great. Keep up the fantastic work man!

[@expertmax32]

You did not cover Krusty's Fun House on the SNES ! I thought it was a good game.

[@chattingesque372]

Yeah I think it was even on the Master System

[@retrogamingguitarist5961]

Krusty's Fun House was on Snes, Genesis, Nes and Master System.

[@bundr]

gotta love the production level of these videos. It's so evident how you love the subject and the effort that you put into it. A joy to watch! Thanks!

From stop motion animation to animation! The creativity you put into your special episodes is seriously impressive!

[@chichiboypumpi]

pretty good animation actually, even those claymation things, amazing you were able to sync the lip/facial movements with the talking.

[@the8wave]

The fact that you did all the animation yourself was actually quite impressive. I think it even tops the sega cd fmv style episode in my opinion. I especially appreciated the the yellowing you added the SNES, nice touch.

[@nicklong27]

Is there no end to this man's talents??? Excellent vid :)

[@DjDizzy216]

You kept the animation going through the entire episode. Color me impressed! We can really taste the love and care that goes into crafting Game Sack. Mmmmm crafty love *drools*

[@variable5515]

Great episode Joe! And you really should check out the Commodore 64 port of Simpsons Arcade, it’s quite impressive for the hardware.

[@Mospen]

Game Sack keeps going the extra mile on these episodes! Such a great idea and execution for a themed game episode. I can imagine it wasn't easy doing the animation but it really paid off in this video! Well done! I hope another Bluray collection is in the works at some point down the road as I'd happily add this to my existing Game Sack disc collection. Bravo Joe! Keep up the awesome work!

[@donaldsalkovick396]

Fav Simpsons Games are The Arcade Game, Road Rage, Hit and Run, and The Simpsons Movie Game.

[@gooniesneversaydie8350]

Joe, what an awesome episode. I have to say I was very impressed with the animations and your overall commitment to the Simpson art style throughout the episode. Definitely in the top 10 of your most creative episodes yet. Yay!

[@HindsightWithHustle]

This intro is bananas. I absolutely love this

[@CarbonKnights]

You were right, the reason you weren't seeing the cutscenes on the Genesis Virtual Bart in the waterslide level is because it was in practice mode

[@wolfnation100]

that was actually really nice lip sync, must've taken forever lol also, it's okay to dream about game sack sometimes, i do it pretty oft--

[@LeviathanRX]

Bart's Nightmare was a game where you actually had to have the instruction manual to know how to play. All the stages were listed along with goals and controls (You can shoot further in Bartman by holding down the button longer, etc)

[@foojae]

Thanks for doing this Sack.

[@yittmashups]

17:15 - Lip sync on point, better than most games today.

[@marbles8641]

Hey Joe, great episode as always! Ever thought of doing a console revision episode? Watching the Snes vs gen episode made me think of all the revisions both consoles had.

[@Holammer]

Simpsons games took a nose dive after EA acquired exclusive access to the IP and they have been poor stewards of the license ever since.

[@towermoss]

I really appreciate all the time and love you put into your videos.

[@heroicmonkey714]

If I recall, in Bart’s Nightmare, you’re able to hold down the ‘fire’ button to shoot the slingshot at longer distances. I was blessed with the tortuous circumstance of only having this game and the Mario world pack in when first getting the SNES

[@bhirawamaylana466]

"Excellent"

[@FoxFandango]

The first game I got for Christmas was Bart vs the space mutants on the ZX spectrum. It would never load past the fight with Nelson and just get stuck. For a whole year I would replay that first level over and over until the following Christmas. So yeah, don't come into school next monday.

Actually, Bart Vs. The Space Mutants on NES was always my favorite, although I could never beat the entire game. Rarely got past the second level mall, but I did enjoy it a lot- despite the brutal platforming. To be fair though, Road Rage and Hit & Run were completely off my radar during their era. I really want to try them now!

[@kouheicoppola2157]

just had to mention this about Bart's Nightmare: when you get into a page, you can select the door to enter with left and right on the d-pad, giving you more options on the mini-game instead of letting the game decide when you reach the doors.
