Games That Push Hardware Limits Crunch 1 

Every time I fall asleep watching RU-vid, I ALWAYS seem to wake up to Game Sack's Console Crunchs lol.

You guys really lucked out on the gaming RU-vid algorithm. I swear that you get about 2-3 hours of video views from me alone after I fall asleep. Doesn’t matter who I watch, I always wake up to this channel playing 😂

You know that a youtube channel is good when doesn't matter how many times you watched a video is still enjoyable to watch like its the first time

The David Lynch bit is gold. 😂

"I need to be entertained RIGHT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW" underrated skit 🤣🤣🤣

All roads lead to Game Sack

I've said it before but damn... I miss Dave so much... These "Crunch" episodes make me feel terribly nostalgic in that respect.

This video is pushing my capabilities to the limit

Miss dave love both your voice and humor. Play all console crunch while sleeping. Been watching this episodes for the nth time.

Time to buy some beer and watch 3+ hours of GameSack!

Dang, for a second I thought Dave was back until I saw how much younger they both looked.

I've missed Dave telling Joe that he's right.

this guy technically is one of the best experts in games we have in the entire youtube

Red zone went from $10 complete to 90-100 complete. Wild how times have changed. The good old days.

Chatting Parodius part of this is very funny - the 'subtitles' are hilarious.

I love Crunch Sack. I put these on while I work so I won't go insane!

Craig Stadler skits will always... ALWAYS be funny.

I remember the SF Alpha 2 SNES port getting really hot, to the point I opened it up & added heatsinks to help it not explode...remained cool after that

This needs to be a section for games of the year

"Think you can get it inside mine? -Craig Stadler

Remember booting up Sega Channel and having Red Zone blow me away with how the props blew away and disrupted the smoke from fires appropriately, still impressive.

Miss Dave. Love your work. Never quit

Yes, one of my favorite type of Game Sack episode. I've always enjoyed those games that blow you away how well they look/sound compared to other games on the system. I've noticed the last few years of any console's lifetime is the prime time to find a good selection of these hardware pushing games, as the developers by this point really know their way around the systems and pull out all the tricks to blow us away.

Joe's sparing the rod and spoiling us again.

We need a PC games episode! PC SACK!

I’ve watched this video 400 times, and I’ll watch it 4000 more

Ninja Gaiden III is one of the most visually impressive NES games, reminding me of Batman : Return of the Joker. It pushed the NES further than anything else I can think of.

World Driver is a gas lighting sim. The game tells you you're going 100 MPH, but everything is going by at jogging speed.

Dang 3½ hours of MEGA POWER!

You know that the audio samples in older video games are good when the words spoken are correctly showing up in auto captions without error.

Dave made this channel so much better.

Wow! One of the games had 64 mega power! I watch the show every day. Keep up the good work, Game Sack!

I love Joe but I've missed Dave and his Daveness.

Happy to see Dave again❤

Joe and Dave classic episodes 👍

I just went through all these episodes in the past two weeks... Joe knows....

I really enjoy these Crunch videos! 8-) Joe, you're doing a great job with "Game Sack." I hope Dave is doing okay.

Craig Statdler bit will never not be hilarious.

OMG it’s Dave!!! Checks calendar, oh… it’s Weds it’s not a new episode 😂😂😂

Lol, I’m one of the 16 people that bought a copy of Faceball 2000 when it came out and it blew my mind back then.

Daves synopsis of Gran Turismo 2 kills me everytime 😂

18:45 Not only great voice samples but also perfect lip-synching lol

How have I never heard about alien soldier before that looks amazing!!

the big 3 = game sack, my life in gaming, and digital foundry

In its own daft way, this's world class. Only channel im still subbed to 12 years after first getting RU-vid mobile.

Game Sack Crunch - It's what's for breakfast! NOW WITH 30% MORE BLAST PROCESSING! Your show makes my day! Thank you for years of entertainment.

That pokemon go bit always gets me. LOL

Voxels are exactly as you described in #7. The advantage is that instead of being limited to, say, 1000 polys for a landscape, with voxels, each pixel on the screen is a polygon worth of detail for the landscape. These days it's used for modeling highly destructive environments (and usually are converted into polys at render time anyways), but in the 90s it was the only way to do detailed landscapes.

I love it when you let the bald dude out of your basement every once in awhile to make a video, your too nice to him

Oh man when a reup just feels like a tease. good episode tho.

"Alright, just stay old" really made me laugh 😂

I love me console crunch!

I love your channel ball sack. im an old man who finds your content fascinating. ill suggest Ball Sack to my friends to watch as well. Good job!

I see these videos so much that I dont even know how this channel doesnt have more subscribers

I love these episodes Joe; the gba has some of the more successful conversions due to its time of release and fairly impressive capabilities. Given the era, I'm surprised they didn't attempt Quake and Descent conversions at the time

We need Dave back. You guys were so good together. I wish he could find a way to do a video with you once in a while.

The gba does not have any hardware 3D capabilities unless they use sprite rotation and scaling in some clever way. As far as I know every time you see textured polys on a gba it's a software renderer. It helps that the screen is only 240x160 and the CPU is 16 mhz x 32 bits.

Is there some sort of known algorithm about posting hour-plus-long in the middle of the week? DYKG does the same thing.

I don't understand why u guys only have 270k subs with such a great content.

Woo! Dave’s back! Oh it’s an old episode 😔

This is my first time watching Crunch series keep up the good work Game Sack 👍

"Game Sack" show is really growing on me... Really Enjoying the humor & encyclopedic gaming knowledge! Lol

When I used to smoke alot of weed I would sit and watch the entirety of every replay in GT... anyway how's Dave dude??

Traveller's Tales were always so good at pushing the limits of the hardware they programmed for, even if the games themselves weren't the best. It's a shame they mostly only do Lego games these days.

HEY JOE! Here is an episode idea on something overlooked in the entire Genesis vs SNES debate. You want FULL 3D POLYGONAL graphics in a Sega Genesis game just play(with alot of patience for the controls before quitting), LHX attack chopper, or F117 Stealth, for some full 3D simulation in a combat aircraft that actually works in a normal Genesis cart(slowly with patience and a list of controls). Or Super Battle Tank/Abrams Battle Tank, but that is also on SNES. They are all full 3D. Maybe for a pushing limits episode? lol The F117 game gives you an idea of what Starfox would of been like with no helper chips. Out of those 3 id say the LHX game is the most playable. Camera guided bombs in F117 are really cool for the time since you can literally drive a bomb in 3D, and the Battletank there was large hills and stuff to drive up on.

Heck yes, You guys are so awesome thanks for making my Friday night!

The music is like an opioid for your ears kind sir you just earned my subscription 👍

Yep. A day off of work, a beer, well many beers, and some old school throw back games, and I feel like I'm in my twenties again, that was thirty years ago, I need another beer.

Gauntlet II on the original Gameboy had awesome digitized speech!

Whadda ya mean I failed to mention it ?!? You wrote the script Joe!!!

Could I sleep to this? Yes.

Tetrastar was my fav retro space shooter! Amazing to hear someone else knows it!

Could u please tell me more about these "polygons" on Street Fighter Alpha 3 on the Psx?

"You play as an undecover cop. Don´t worry thought, you can still steal any car you want and kill people without any repercussions". Like cops in real life.

Great video guys

World Driver Championship is an awesome game . It takes a few hours to learn the physics and it is so much fun once you do. The environments are beautiful too. Some people just have the attention span of a gnat.

I heard that 2 second of soul coughing from GT2

This made my day!

Down the World really needs a translation. From what I read about it, it was originally meant to be a movie, and Steven Spielberg was even interested in doing it!

Panorama cotton would have been a great game to put on the genesis mini 2

This is a fantastic video! I am late to the Shante series, but I have 4 of the 5 games on my Switch. You’re so right about it being fantastic. Mega Turrican is a lot of fun, too. Street Fighter Zero 3 for Saturn is the freakin’ BOMBDIGITY!!!!

Thanks for everything Dave

Hes back!

46:07 "Direct Hit! Target: Destroyed!" I think that's Tommy Tallarico's voice.

Dave was the funny smart AND sexy one.... all Joe has going is his undying love of green dog.🙄

Every console they pulled out of that bag in the beginning I still own and they still work perfectly

There was a Big Bird game on the NES that had really really good digitized speech of Big Bird.

Couple I think of off the top of my head..Lion King on the ZX Spectrum (the same platform game as on newer consoles but with simpler graphics, it was very good for the Spectrum), Toy Story on the Genesis, Virtua Fighter on the Genesis, Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation, A simplified version of Quake 2 on the Playstation, Doom on the Snes.

Mega Turrican - a game that was created and almost never got released anywhere!

Blast processing is real. And that is no joke. The only joke was nintendo fans believing that it wasn't real.

Wednesday sack? Wtf! Yes man!

I have missed this channel so much.

Busy town game was one of my go-to rentals

I always used to try to pause as the crane faced the screen in Mickey Mania. Even as a 10 year old, I knew that game was pushing the Genesis to its limit.

Much Gratitude

Driver 2 on psx is amazing for its day but Holy moly the pop in KS nuts

I love this show.

Amazing video, thanks!

Watching your videos is awesome

I loved these episodes
