Game Sack - Overhead Run 'n Guns

Episode 40 - When Game Sack was exactly half as old as it is now, we covered side-scrolling run and gun games. So naturally now it's time to cover the overhead variety. Games must meet all 3 criteria: 1: Overhead (ish), 2: running around on foot (either real feet or robo-feet) and 3: shooting things.

The side scrolling run and gun episode can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwyzcOj6YpE

And be sure to "like" our crappy Facebook page. We do post stuff from time to time. We've got more outtakes that we'll eventually get around to posting exclusively to Facebook when we stop being lazy. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Game-Sack/307489385930766

Glad to see you guys are trying to fit alot more game ideas into your videos than you have in the past. Good work. But you forgot Jackal for the NES! Like I said. Keeping you guys in check.

[MrGameSack]

@OldsXCool Ha ha yeah, a lot of people have mentioned Jackal and even Dave wondered about it as we made the video. But we decided that there wasn't enough "running" around. If part of the game does have you on foot, then I haven't seen it. We did almost forget Pocky & Rocky.

What about Ikari Warriors III?

[MrGameSack]

@SPac316 That one is an overhead beat 'em up.  Kind of interesting they took that direction with the game.

you guys have come a long way from your first episode and you keep getting better and better nice vids

[dezm101]

there was an Ikari II arcade game, but it was called "Victory Road"

[SPac316]

@MrGameSack Well...yeah it was. But if I recall correctly, I think you could grab gun power-ups. But oh well, Good video as always!

You guys are truly amazing and devoted. I love to see a new episode every week, it's always an awesome way to discover new games and have a nostalgic moment. Greetings from Canada. Keep up your amazing work

Nice episode. One overhead run and gun I really liked that not a lot of people know about is Medal of Honor Infiltrator for the GBA.
