Sega CD - Review video - Game Sack

It's really funny how, when you take away the FMV games that became a staple of what the Sega CD was known for (AKA the thing everyone makes fun of it for)..the system had some top notch titles.

I just kind of stumbled onto you guys from watching too many reviews. There's a lot of channels like yours but you actually have a lot of polish to your videos. Wow. Plus you don't bullshit around with reviews, you get right to the talking points and introduce a lot of games. I think I found a new channel to binge.

Sega CD was my first CD-based system, bought in 1993. It was a system I loved, but I was the only person I knew who had one. People just weren't ready to jump from cartridges to CDs just yet, but that was okay because it gave me a head start on what the 1990s video game scene was going to look like.

My buddy had a Sega CD and I really enjoyed the few games I played for it. The Lunar games and Sonic CD were great. Even some of the cheesy FMV games like Sewer Shark and Ground Zero Texas have a special nostalgic place in my heart. Good times.

40 minutes of GameSack?! I'm gonna have to get an extra bag of popcorn for this one!

Model 1 forever! I love the Sega CD so much, and Working Designs was a big reason for that but there are a ton gems on it. Amazing episode!

It's like you made this episode for ME personally, as somebody who recently added the Sega CDX and in need of some games for it :)

I just watched this again after numerous years and I was like I know I have a burnt CD-R for my Sega CD that says gamesack. Popped it in and I cannot believe you did both 4:3 and 16:9. I have an x'eye hooked up to a crtv and a model2 Genesis and Sega CD hooked up to a hdtv. Dude, the 16:9 on the hdtv worked really well. Bravo, bravo. You sir are master of your craft.

Love the video! But an FYI for any interested parties: You actually do NOT need the backup cart to play scenarios 3&4 on Shining Force CD. When you use the system menu to look at save games, you'll see two files for Shining Force. One is 99 blocks, one is 1 block. The 99 block file is your save game for the scenario you're playing, and the 1 block file keeps information about which scenarios you have completed. As long as you ONLY delete the 99 block file, you can play all 4 scenarios with just the standard system storage. If you just delete your save game from within the game rather than the system menu, it will make sure the proper data is kept so you can play all 4 scenarios.

I've been collecting for the SEGA Mega CD since 2004. It is a vastly underrated system blamed as the beginning of the end for SEGA... It had so many gems and the definitive version of many 16 bit gen games like Earthworm jim, Mortal Kombat and Mickey Mania. Collecting for it today is a little too rich for my blood but no one here should miss out on classics like Sonic CD, Snatcher and Keio's Flying Squadron.

A 40 minute episode on the Sega CD..in 2014! I'm in heaven!! Thank you Game Sack!!!!

40 minutes of Game Sack! You guys are spoiling us...and we love it!

Game Sack is literally one of the only channels that can make 20-minute+ long videos and find myself watching them in a single sitting!

Thanks for these videos.... I know they are old now.. but, I love to see games that I missed and I want to play 7 of these games... awesome, thanks !

i'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the best episode you guys made. The amount of content, the production levels and the overall text is great. Congratulations on bringing GameSack to a new height. I guess, i could say.. welcome to the next level. haha.

My collection feels sad due to not having Space Adventure in it. I actually really enjoyed the game and love the heck out of Snatcher, just sucks it's such a pain in the ass to find

You guys have slowly become one of my favorite channels on youtube, thanks for doing what you do!

Suprised not to see Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Darkside. One of the best non SF/MK/KOF fighting games I've played. The extra fatalities were really good and if I remember correctly, it was the only game that doubled the available on screen colors of the system through a software trick.

Love the Sega CD such an underrated gem!

I just played through snatcher. I really enjoyed. That game is definitely worth having a sega cd for
