    What are some arcade ports you'd like to see covered?
  • @Bu11et9583
    This new "Take On Joe" Intro is awesome 👍
  • @ARCWuLF
    "Rampage" for the Lynx uses the system's link cable to play with up to 4 players simultaneously. Having actually done this a few times, it may just be my favorite way to play the game. Having the ability to "hide" from other players by trying to avoid their screen adds some strategy to the play. Incidentally, it started as a different game but was licensed and converted into a "Rampage" port. Thanks for posting!

    Gamesack covering a Atari 2600 version of a game. In 10 years I've been watching this channel I believe this might be the first time.

    I enjoyed the Alien Storm segment. I have a ton of nostalgia for the early pre-SNES Genesis years. The system didnt entirely have an identity beyond arcade ports and EA PC ports, but you could tell everyone involved was figuring out the system at the same time. The best games came after Sonic, of course, but those early years were a lot of fun.

    That end sketch confirms it Joe loves Greendog so much it's in his DNA.
  • You were joking, but Amiga developers were often only handed some screenshots (I.e. photos) and a vague description of the gameplay as a starting point, as those were rather low budget and low priority ports.
  • @kuro68000
    There was a flaw with the Sega SG-3000 FM sound that meant if you played PSG sound at the same time it distorted. The Master System fixed it, but a lot of games wanted SG-3000 compatibility.

    I like when i go to youtube to watch something for breakfast (it's morning in my time zone) and there is fresh new GameSack episode to play.
  • @JulianLewis77
    Just to be that guy, Rampage on the Lynx supports 4 players via comlynx cable and 4 Lynx's. It's pretty good multiplayer, though hard to keep track of other players.
  • @brianbarnhart284
    Would love to have Dave to run in once. Or an update on him. Miss that guy.
  • @acecarrera1
    Joe just got a new Amiga. Well, new for him, that is.
  • @stephenhall2980
    Hey Joe,glad that you're featuring some Amiga stuff. As I'm sure you know,most arcade ports to this system are absolute balls but it's a very capable 16 bit computer with some amazing original games.
  • @johnbewty
    I absolutely LOVE Time Soldiers. I realize it's 99% nostalgia, but I love rotary knob games and it has, I guess... a vibe that I love. ALSO THAT SCREAM (as you noted)
  • @PT-vv3ep
    Nothing like my morning coffee with a new episode of Game Sack before Church.Thanks Joe!
  • @spman2099
    Damn, that Lynx port of Rampage just crushes the others visually. Holy shit.
  • @nexusofice9135
    I give this channel props. They have NEVER asked for subscription or likes. Been watching them for years, and this has always been the standard. Keep on making great videos Joe. Let the 300k people that really think you deserve their attention be your badge of honor.
  • @mrtangent0081
    What a cool episode comparing the arcade ports. I never played the original Rampage, just Rampage World Tour on N64/PS1. Love the Mega Man 2/Greendog skit at the end.
  • @toryficarola
    The Rampage segmemt made me wanna see a miniature Joe dressed in a monkey suit, climbing a comically sized cabinet of games, punching out all the ones he despises. 😂
