Game Sack is like that buddy who knows way too much about old video games and isn’t afraid to tell you, with an infectious enthusiasm for consoles that most people forgot about (or never knew existed). Hosted by Joe, with the occasional cameo from his longtime friend Dave, it’s a retro gaming show that dives into obscure game consoles and asks hard-hitting questions like, “Why did anyone buy the Sega 32X?” and “How many obscure Japanese exclusives can we fit into one episode?”
Joe’s humor is dry, sarcastic, and somehow perfectly timed to counterbalance the sheer nerdery of the show’s deep dives. Every episode is packed with crisp editing, skits featuring props from your uncle’s garage, and gameplay footage that’ll make you nostalgic for the days when games came on cartridges the size of bricks. Joe’s critiques of retro hardware and his impressions of Dave (who, rumor has it, may still live on as a disembodied spirit haunting Game Sack) are worth the watch alone. Whether you’re in it for forgotten consoles, bizarre peripherals, or just to hear Joe roast the Virtual Boy yet again, Game Sack has enough retro gaming gold to keep you glued to the screen, wondering, “How does he even know all this?”
