Game Sack

Game Sack is a YouTube web show dedicated to documenting retro games[1][2][3] and related devices.[4][5] The channel was started in 2011[6][7] by Denver residents Joe Redifer and Dave White,[8] who are friends since high school.[9] Currently, Joe produces all videos by himself.[10][11] He has said he prefers to use his own cartridges instead of emulation.[12][13]

The 2019 game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night features a special code to enable a Game Sack weapon.[14][15]

In 2024, the channel uploaded historic footage of E3,[16][17][18] which was once the gaming industry's major event.[19]
