#33Another game with a cool jungle soundtrack is "Trick'n Snowboarder". The game itself is unremarkable, but I still remember the music to this day. For example, check out https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=38yTPVGqj8c&t=369s or https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=38yTPVGqj8c&t=1477s
not related but lot of 90s snowboarding games had underrated soundtracks
cool boarders 2 come to mind

#35What a nice writeup. I've listened to jungle and related styles on and off over the years but I wasn't aware the music had played such a big role in 90's game music!

#36If anyone's interested and wants to hear more, I have a mix of 92/93 era Jungle [1] Some rough mixes here and there (especially the first one) because it was live from a NYE event. But it suits the style of music, that era was so raw and fresh, the future was being invented right there! Very happy days :) 1) DJ SS - Intro 2) Higher Sense - Cold Fresh Air 3) Deep Blue - The Helicopter Tune 4) Roni Size - Time Stretch…
I'll just leave this here...
...and as a bonus, have this 'n all...
...and as it's a Wednesday, have this as a freebie:

#39Author here. Thanks for sharing the blog post on HN; it was a nice surprise to see it in the first page.
FYI you have a typo in there. You wrote "JTL Bukem" but it should be "LTJ Bukem". LTJ being short for "Long Time Junglist"
Also "Examples of popular drum brakes" should be "breaks".
