#12When I read jungle music I totally thought about Diddy Kong Racing or the Donkey King games for SNES.
I totally thought about Tetrisphere on N64:

#13Author here. Thanks for sharing the blog post on HN; it was a nice surprise to see it in the first page.
cool to see ace combat 2 in there cause i love bullet hell games. was wild trying it on MAME instead of an arcade cabinet, hooked up to a subwoofer and realizing what genre it was cause your typical cabinet doesn't go loud enough to hear like half the song in the sub bass
also funny how you can beat the game as a dolphin flying a plane haha

FYI you have a typo in there. You wrote "JTL Bukem" but it should be "LTJ Bukem". LTJ being short for "Long Time Junglist"
