Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This is a particularly impressive episode, especially the Sega Genesis games. I had no idea about that Lost World Jurassic Park game! Oh, and snazzy Game Sack logo transition. Don't know when that got added but I liked it here.
Joe continues to be overly self-deprecating as usual. I think it's hilarious, but I hope he doesn't actually believe what he says.
A few of the games mentioned in this, Mickey Mania and Sonic 3D Blast were worked on by Jon Burton who has a channel called Game Hut. He explains how these effects were done.
Mickey Mania 3D Rotating Tower
Mickey Mania's "Impossible" 3D Chase
Sonic 3D's scrolling

Edit: Ive been informed by /u/EtherBoo that most of his content is now on Coding Secrets
Game Sack is a great channel to just binge on. Almost a decade worth of content and their videos are always well made.
I was waiting for him to check out Star Ocean and Tales of Phantasia in this segment. Still suprised they put in voice work for both these games and that both series looks so different afterwards.
Mickey Mania! I played the PS1 port so the impressiveness of it was lost on me, but looking back the graphics and 3D stuff in that game are amazing for the Genesis. I'll have to follow and catch up on this series
Him talking about animated tiles reminded me of how they did lighting in Ori and The Will Of The Wisps. Instead of using traditional computer computed lighting all the lighting is handmade. https://www.thegamer.com/ori-and-the-will-of-the-wisps-artists-hand-painted-30000-light-maps/
Id recognize that Lost World boss anywhere. I played that game maybe 1000 times. It was my favorite Sega game.
