I second this.:)

Outside as in Box Cover or Outside as in Graphics or Outside as in Presentation (Main Character, Theme, etc.)?
Different things :p.
I can't really think of a game for the first in my case besides... every game for the master system. For the second El Viento would be the biggest offender, and for the third... Parasol Stars?

I basically meant the first and third. When I was a kid, like many, I rented games based on the pictures. I didn't bother to read the description. If the front artwork and the screenshots on the back didn't encourage me to get it, I never did.

For instance, I refused to rent ToeJam and Earl on the basis that the characters on the cover made no sense and the screenshots on the back failed to thoroughly indicate what the game was about. That one in particular sticks out to me, but I know there were plenty others that I didn't even pick up because the picture on the cover was stupid. As a kid I judged many, many games by their cover.

Great ep as always (yes, I say that all the time, but it's the truth!). I gotta say that Joe's Super Monkey Ball skills are pretty insane.

Oh man, that reminded me something: one of the bulletpoints on the European boxart is, and I'm not kidding you, "fierce girl-on-girl action"

Proof here: http://www.mobygames.com/game/gamecu...CoverId,54015/

Infogrames, you're so naughty...

Also, speaking of DOA Xtreme, I honestly prefer the women from Beach Spikers more than those from DOA, mostly because they don't look oddly disproportioned.

I don't think I'm as good at any game as Joe is at Monkey Ball. Holy balls.

Yes sir, Joe sure knows how to handle his (monkey) balls!

Great episode, guys. Nice to see Rogue Leader get some love.

LOL! That's great! I always though that the U.S. version's "Beach Volleyball Has Never Been Hotter!" quote on the back was kind of pushing it.

That's right, but whoever was it that wrote the bulletpoints and such for the Euro boxart really pushed it. Plus the front cover looks like this:

Just look at what they're focusing.

My favorite episode of Game Sack yet! You guys have done a great job with the production, and I'm always in favor of 20+ minute episodes.

Yea I would love to see that.

Hey Joe, I'm shocked, no Gauntlet Dark Legacy? Not only is it the only console version worth playing, but It's almost arcade perfect. Lol the F-Zero game looks so unforgiving(still easily one of the best games for the GC), I wonder how many people became bold playing that game.

GC version of Dark Legacy is better than the Xbox one? Since when?! It has more slowdown than the other ones, from what I remember. And more glitchy.

Slow down is suoer rare, and I've only noticed one glitch(and it doesn't effect gameplay), when you open the inventory, some slots wont list their item, so you scroll to the slot, press up again, and your item will display correctly).

If that's what you call a glitchy game lol, you love to exaggerate don't you?

It also doesn't show life bars for some enemies. You're full of shit, though, when you say I exaggerate. Your post was "Not only is it the only console version worth playing, but it's almost arcade perfect. That's a ton of exaggeration right there.

Best console version, the others are POS, so It's hardly an exaggeration, and "almost" arcade perfect, as in It's pretty damn close, I didn't say it "is" arcade perfect.
