There was a game called “SILENT THUNDER: A-10 TANK KILLER II” my father had in his collection that I’d ruffle through as a kid.

While the gameplay (brutal flight sim) wasn’t that compelling to child me, it had a full soundtrack made of multiple genres that lives in my brain to this day, especially “Monk’s revenge”. In fact, I think it was setup so that you could put the disk in a CD player and have it play as an audio disk. No idea if any of it counts as “jungle”, but it’s very much 90’s electronic game music.

Wow this lead me to rediscover this dnb (sry not jungle) cd from 24 years ago: a1 sound carrier ii by dj tonic [0]

Never really liked the CD but there are some unique, weird tracks on there.

Lots of games in that era just put the game data as track 1 and then filled the rest of the disc with audio tracks, so that they could command the disc player to handle all playback for them

Rock raiders too


Jungle has breakbeats, whereas that music is four-on-the-floor.
