How Jungle & Drum & Bass Changed 90's Video Games

Did you grow up with a Playstation, N64 or Dreamcast? Remember hearing jungle and Drum & Bass music throughout these games? I certainly do and I feel a wave of nostalgia from hearing them again. Many creators on YouTube have been sharing music from various 90's video game soundtracks as DJ mixes which have been great to listen to in the car. The mixes reveal the outstanding work of audio teams across the gaming industry. I discuss the implications of various movements in music and culture that determined the presence of Jungle and Drum & Bass in 90's gaming titles. #gaming #90sgamer #playstation1 #n64 #sega #drumandbass
