Episode 151 - We're both big fans of video pinball. Are you? Video pinball has the capability of doing things that no real pinball table could ever dream of doing. But is that always a good thing?
Video Pinball
The Sonic Spinball impressions were very similar to mine.
Game was terrible for most Sonic fans at the time--Sega needed a Sonic game for the holidays, so they put this out quickly.
But after all these years, the game wasn't all that bad. Not getting a mainline Sonic did make it worse at the time.
Games we never beat.
Surprised they couldn't complete Earthwork Jim 2. That one is easier than the first.
GAME MUSIC SACK IS SOME VIDEO GAME MUSIC GUILTY OF PLAGIARISM?
Welcome to a new series only on Final Bosses about videogame music. In this episode we take a look at some game music and compare it to some REAL music (yes, there are those who contend that videogame music doesnt count as real music). Obviously many of these tunes are rip-offs of real music, some were inspired by, others are definitely only coincidental. What do YOU think?

The SNK Neo Geo AES and MVS
I have never seen that golf game before, but it looks awesome for an arcade game.
Seems like the guys are tired. The show is going on hiatus and they don't know how long it'll be gone. https://m.facebook.com/GameSack/posts/1102756746404022
Wow...I didn't expect this.Seems like the guys are tired. The show is going on hiatus and they don't know how long it'll be gone. https://m.facebook.com/GameSack/posts/1102756746404022
Yep, thanks to them I'm discovering even more games and it helps my channel too when it comes to playthroughs.There is no gaming show i've learned more from than them.
Well, ya, people like quality content and the breakdown systems are their best episodes. I loved Game Sack when they started out. Now Joe's acting like 1989 Crazy Eddie slashing prices on TV yelling all the time, kind of annoying and unnecessary. Dave is always just along for the ride adds almost nothing to the show. And what is it with people getting bent out of shape with youtube comments? If it bothers them so much disable them. Half the time they are responding to assholes just trying to get their attention. Or leave it and just ignore it. Take a page from CGR, I have never seen him respond on a comment board before.From their FB
"A lot of people are suggesting that we do more system episodes and that our regular non-system episodes are "stale" We get this a lot. Do you guys only like it when we do system episodes? Do you guys know what kind of effort those take? Not only do we need the system but we need tons of games for it. And there's always thousands of comments about "OMG you talk about ____ system but you didn't mention ____ game? OMG u guyz r fagz lol u suk." And what happens when we run out of systems? You guys gonna bail on us? Our audience is very demoralizing. Also I can talk about hardware stuff and comparisons all day. Dave's not a hardware guy. What do I give him to talk about?"
There's definitely a danger involved when interacting with the public at large, especially one with such anonymity. But I do think they've just burnt out. A new episode every week seemed like an enormous undertaking to me, not sure how they were managing that. Once a fortnight seems best given the quality of their shows. Maybe just ignore the comments and view count too.Well, ya, people like quality content and the breakdown systems are their best episodes. I loved Game Sack when they started out.

If you're a fan of the Game Sack format (minimal critique/analysis over high quality RGB game captures), Assembler Games' Yakumo posted a new episode of Retro Core. This episode is based on the Super Famicom's import-friendly (though not necessarily wallet-friendly) titles. Check it out at the link below.
