I agree about the Secret of Evermore's sound quality. One memory from my childhood is being blown away with how cool the market place ambient sounds were on the SNES.

I read an interview with Disney's producer for _Adventures in the Magic Kingdom_ where she talked about the process of the game's development on Disney's end. It turns out she came up with a few ideas, such as having the game take place not in Disneyland, Disney World or the Epcot Center, but a hybrid of all three. However, making the main character some cowboy-looking kid was Capcom's idea! She at first thought "Oh, you Japanese, is that what you think Americans are like?" In the end, she decided she liked that character design, so she asked them not to change it.

+Daytime Sky She really felt that way? "Oh you Japanese is that what you thin Americans are like?" That is pretty thin skinned for an American. Well it is a woman so I guess that's why. When I was a teen, we went on vacation to see the plantations homes around the South. We met a German National while there, I think at "Oak Alley" for those who know. She was a very nice lady, but when we told her we were from Texas, she started looking for our horses. I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever seen. As a Texan, I hate horses, hate cowboy hats, and can only tolerate boots if I need them for work safety. Other than that I'm just a long haired country boy. But i didn't get offended, I though it was funny. Its sad that in today's day and age, people jump to being offended first, rather than laughing at it. No wonder there is so much wrong with the world today. So many easy to butthurt people.

Batman Returns was scheduled for release in Japan for Famicom along with the Super Famicom version. You can find a video presentation with ingame footage, where all the texts in japanese, with release date on youtube. The Famicom release was apparently canceled at the last moment.

Dave's "special human skill": setting an interest rate cap on a fixed rate mortgage. Brilliant, sir.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate the work you guys put in to release a video every week. It is something I look forward to to make me laugh and learn about those games i remember reading about back in the day but never actually played as well as games and systems I didn't know about. Keep up the sarcastic sense of humor while still being informative.

To be honest - if we would've gotten Seiken Densetsu 3 instead of Secret of Evermore I wouldn't be pissed.

that Pocahontas game was surprisingly good. good graphics, sound, and gameplay. a hidden gem. I also remember playing boogerman. juvenile but a fun platformer

Legend has it, Pochahontas's Raccoon is still locked into a sub-prime interest rate on his second mortgage. What a cruel world.

I liked one or two of the tunes but the rest didn't grab me.

Funny fact: In the French localised version of Secret of Evermore, they locate the action at the beginning of the game in Pontoise, France instead of Podunk, USA, and the French location actually exists and is where Nintendo France HQs were located, at least at the time, bit I don't think it's changed. I first played the USA version, then the French version severak years later, and now own only the latter. Some character names were changed as well but overall I prefer the American localisation since it's the true vision of the game's original creators, naming and everything, + the 50/60Hz thing and black borders as well that we got here which no one ever fancied :P. I was never a huge fan of the alchemy stuff either... at first. I mean the first time I played though the game, of first two times (I played through that game so many times, I can't remember how many now :P) I just focused on powering up my stuff and mostly used alchemy for healing, but as I grew more and more interested in the game with every playthrough, I got into it eventually, finding out that some enemies are weak to certain alchemies, and how they can make you so overpowered as well! Some parts of the game are very annoying without resorting to alchemy use, cause some enemies are, indeed, hard to hit, either due to their hit box being hard to figure out, or simply because of their move pattern, like some flying enemies later in the game, ugh!

Secret of Evermore is one of my favorite SNES games. Great soundtrack, and definitely worth playing. Good list! I want to add a few of these to my collection still, but of course I already have Secret of Evermore.

Just from the thumbnail: "YES! FINALLY! SECRET OF EVERMORE!"

OMG that Disney haunted mansion level looks so s-s-s-scary! Eek!!!

I'm glad you mentioned Secret of Evermore. It was always one of my favorites growing up and I've beaten it many times. I prefer it to Secret of Mana. I don't know why some people don't like the game's soundtrack though. It's honestly one of the best and gets even better the further you progress. I admit, the alchemy system is broken and tedious though, as is regrinding every time you acquire a new weapon.

Japan started missing out on games a lot more from the PS1 onwards. Psychonauts comes to mind as an example of a more well known game not getting localised.

I loved the Secret of Evermore. The soundtrack is really nice. I also occasionally play it when I'm having trouble falling asleep.

Always great to wake up to a nice steaming Game Sack in the morning! I used to play Boogerman and try to hide it from my parents. Ooooh an idea maybe? Games you used to try to hide from your parents.

Was Secret of Evermore the game I remember retailing around $90 when it first came out?

The Pocahontas game actually looks really sweet :O it was also one of the select handful of Disney movies I grew up with.

The Pocahontas game's artstyle is actually incredibly good. The animation too.

I felt nothing but dread watching Greendog's gameplay. Awesome episode!

Some new episode theme ideas for Game Sack: "Games whose names begin with Y", "Shoot'em ups with nice music", "Even more Neo Geo fighting games" and, this one is for you, Dave: "Nintendo games where you CAN shoot upwards".

I grew up with Greendog being one of the few games I owned for my Genesis, was one that I felt was challenging due to controls or level design, but as a kid I felt it was me not being good enough so I played and played this game for tens of hours. Now I'm nostalgia ridden to love it.

Secret of Evermore and Dragon's Crest on the SNES are two games I may not have ever heard of were it not for your channel. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Anyone else notice how stylistically and gameplay wise Green Dog looks a lot like that TailSpin game for the Genesis? I wonder if they were made by the same team?

i loved the sarcasm at the 20 second mark. that is definitely how i roast games

I love how Dave snickers at his own jokes.. I do that too

Greendog was the first game I ever played. I think I was 3 and a friend of my mums brought their megadrive over. I got a mastersystem that Christmas and never stopped playing.

As always I choose to watch ur video over having sleep lol.

Boogerman is one of those weird hidden gems of the Genesis both you guys and I had the pleasure to find! Keep on rocking! One game you might find interesting is Tin Head for Genesis (or Megadrive).

wow GREENDOG!! so that was the name! I remember that game when i used to play it on a friend's house, he got a genesis and that's one of the few games he had back in the day! I remember looking for the cheats and writing down some cheats in a paper so i can go to his home and play! Thanks a lot Gamesack for bringing good memories back

Secret of Evermore isa great game. The ambiance was really unique for me back when I played it. Glad you found some aspects you liked about it. I remember getting the game Christmas of 95 along with Chrono Trigger. Maybe you could get more in to Secret of Mana if you had someone to play the game with.

My favorite NES/Famicom game Flintstones 2 was never released in Japan. It was officially released in the USA and on pirate famicom cards in the EU

Funny that you mention never seeing Pocahontas, that's one of the few disney movies of that time that I still haven't seen and have no interest to! The game looks pretty good, interesting that it doesn't have enemies and boss battles. P.S. GREEEEEN DAWWWWG!!

Sunset Riders SNES/Genesis ports weren't released in Japan Pocahontas for Genesis is so pretty, always surprise me the use of color of that game.

Secret of Evermore is one of my favorite SNES games. Because it was made in the US there isn't an issue of understanding obscure Japanese mannerisms or odd design choices. A boy and his ever changing dog going from land to land exchanging money and learning about what would eventually come to be known as The Matrix.

Tbh, I think that Game Sack should try to get their own to programme, their content never bores us.
