Episode 249 - Continuing to look at some interesting games that were only ever released in Japan, including one game that I should have played a LONG time ago! Heck, we all should have.

    Sega did not have any faith in this project at all. The game was funded fully by the creators and when they asked for a marketing budget to promote it, Sega gave them (no joke) $200. Though it did get a special edition, Sega wanted nothing to do with it.

    I've done LSD. It's impossible to emulate it. But that Dream Emulator would be fun to watch while on it. Joe, just wanted to say that I'm glad you're still going. When that Game Sack notification popped up, I didn't think, "Oh, Joe and Dave", I thought, "Yes! A new Game Sack!" You've established the brand, and that's what I'm in for. Your editing is the biggest influence on my own, and let's face it, is the archetype for how I set up my own videos. Using a different clip for each sentence of the script? I learned that from you, buddy. If I can get my audio as good as yours, I'm gold! Anyway, thanks for the great videos and inspiration. Keep going, man!
