Check out the unreleased Jazz Jackrabbit 3 soundtrack. That shit continues where Jazz 1 & 2 left off.

[@Ipvisvel]

I do not know why but when kid this level impressed me so much that I watched that rain pixelated for hours thinking if there was such a planet.

[@oceandark3044]

@MekaShadowlight I actually thought Tubelectric was the best

[@AwesomeRepix]

Me too bro! Exactly like that :D Also big ups for the Booker DeWitt avatar, nice.

[@lyrimetacurl0]

Earth was like that in the transition from the Hadean to Archaean eons, when the water vapour condensed.

[@aelahn]

wow you summarized the sensation of it very well

[@the_quadracorn]

I always loved how in level 2 of Medivo the exit was so close to you at the beginning of the level and you had to wrap around. There always looked like there were so many unreachable secrets. Awesome game. Would love a re release where they change nothing but the old save system and zoomed the camera out a little more

[@fresita_jugosa]

I remember listening to this in 2006-2008, and people telling me "you are a freak, you listen to videogame music, that's nerdy, you are scary". And now this is exactly the same you can find now in synthwave. Now this is "cool", "new retro-wave". It's hilarious.

[@ClioMako]

Raúl Del Brío San Román I got the same reaction as well back then, still do sometimes, unless I happen to talk to gamers. People don't know what they are missing out.

[@Natureworld1986]

i have the same problem, if i told someone, i love gamemusic, they saying i'm crazy, i make my own music and gamemusic is a great inspiration for me, sometimes you will find some soundsamples from old games in my music, this is the way i created my music and i will go on with that. I dont like the stuff in the radio, maybe some songs are good but the most is just crap, no feelings like in this one. I like gamemusic much more than normal music, i listen to good old midi soundtracks from Duke Nukem, Hexen or Doom, or Mod music like Jazz Jackrabbit, Crusader or other good Amiga Games. This kind of music is just awesome and epic

[@ClioMako]

Natureworld1986 You are right, mainstream music nowadays is terrible. And if anything tends to be on the quality side, it is either underrated or known by only a few. The music of JJR made such an impact on me since I was a kid, that I started listening to Italo Disco and other kinds of 80's electronic music, which I find they often have a similar sound. :)

[@Natureworld1986]

ClioMako 100 % agreed (y)

[@24yrukdesigner]

they say you're crazy and then go switch on Katie Perry? lol :D

[@MikeCorp1357]

Ah the 90's; I was lucky to have a sound-blaster sound-card, plugged it into my home stereo and recorded it onto a cassette tape to play in the car. This one brought chills - you felt the ambience of the castle stage...

[@menslady125eif2590]

I love the music, but I sure do NOT love those flying swords.

[@AwesomeRepix]

+menslady125 Damn bastards destroying my hover board!!

[@gluGPU]

butt

[@nullnull1953]

Hahaha I cannot agree more We have to jump for normal weapon hit the fucking swords

[@Athompthomp]

its chords progression is still mesmerizing, so strong that It's still in my memory. and the simple synth choir phrase at the beginning is very strong and catchy. love the square arpeggios the texture of the synth string on the hook part is the best. yeah I played this as a demo version too and this music made me feel like i was playing the final level fighting the last boss of the whole game. though this music doesn't give any sense of medieval era like the levels name, but it still has the seriousness going on all the time. epic mega games was very generous to allow us to play the whole levels of the first episode, which includes the best 2 tracks - medivo, tubelectric. of the JJR.

[@oneiromultimedia1]

its so interesting that this track gives such an impact on people who played jazz jackrabbit. I feel exactly the same way about the track.

[@snipsandorsnailsandbrutalewd]

It's a real stand-out piece alright, not to say the others aren't memorable too. Jazz Jackrabbit's music was really on a whole other level compared to other shareware games at the time. Epic Mega almost always had great music for their games.

[@sandakureva]

I think it's also that this is how it would have sounded with a nice card like a SoundBlaster. Hearing this through an ad-lib card would have been cool, but marked less cool.

[@GuyLogen]

This game has a lot of great tracks. Medivo and tubelectric are just the tip of the iceberg

[@StormZephyr]

@@snipsandorsnailsandbrutalewd > Jazz Jackrabbit's music was really on a whole other level Two words: Alexander Brandon.

[@nachogranados4631]

I literally played this game at my grandparents house, in an old computer they had, and I remember every world and each music. I completed the game in 2008 or 2009, and now it feels so nostalgic whenever I listen to these songs.

[@MasterFhyl]

This was the last level in the freeware version of this game I had as a kid. It's super nostalgic to me.

[@touhouguyII]

1:05, favorite part!

[@johnlemon6068]

Great

[@keizerantares]

Still gives me goosebumps every time I hear this. I've been playing this game when I was just 9 years old and it scared me at first. The simplicity of this game made it such a fenomenon in the gaming industry and I don't think any game in the world would be able to top Jazz Jackrabbit. A true gaming analyst would be able to see to its full extent, even though it is still underappreciated by the common gaming people. Almost 3D, this tops even the best games made by the best company alive, Team Ninja (sorry but I speak from my heart).

[@TheFourman]

I have my own music typing system and this is the only track I know that is "water fire" type. It suits heavy rain on a lava planet, which is pretty much Medivo.

[@colltonrighem]

TheFourman Music typing system? Do explain

[@cheesewheel]

@@colltonrighem sounds like he means he gives songs types, like Pokemon types. So this song is a water/fire type song.

[@erik19borgnia]

I would like to have some... examples for you music typing. Do you use all the pokemon typings? Or just some of them? What would you have in, for example, Electric Ground or Steel Fairy?

[@lyrimetacurl0]

@@erik19borgnia I use all plus 6 extra (I had to add Fairy when that came out and revamp it). The type can be in a different order and mean a different thing. Examples: Electric ground: Are Friends Electric (Gary Numan) Steel Fairy: Imaginary (Evanescence) Ground electric: Perpetual (VNV Nation) Fairy Steel: Metal (Poppy)

[@_Killkor]

This soundtrack is Epic Mega

[@trevorodell5564]

I see what you did there.

[@bluebirdsigma]

Now it's just Epic.

[@retrorobbyreviews]

My favorite song in the whole game!!!!

[@JTG2003]

Amazing. I remember this so well. The lightning in the background that shows a silhouette of a creature in the window.. amazing.

[@m3gAm37aLmAnX]

Nostalgia times infinity :D

[@deiu9999]

Playing this as a kid in 1998... time flies!

[@roelwillems15]

2022 and i still remember every song, soooooo nostalgic and so much good soundtracks

[@jrn_v1]

Same feelings here

[@the_quadracorn]

The first game I ever played in my life, and some of the first music that I ever loved. Can't have been older than 4

[@rontan10787]

I miss playing this game! What a memory! It keeps me inspiring what I played during my childhood years! :-)

[@daylightorn]

great memories when I was a kid..... good old times, nostalgia

[@mlwy45]

I absolutely loved this game. I remember I had the demo and I played it to death. Then one day my Dad came home from CompUSA, he had a box copy of Jazz Jackrabbit...it was 3 disks and I installed it myself. This was the first game ever I installed on my own.

[@dragonieprayer]

this track is still in my mind, even after all these years =) I was 10 when I played this game like crazy.... Now I am 28 and I am going to play it again. It's epic indeed!

[@JcDizon]

Oh nice, we have the same story, I was 10 too when I played this game and I am 31 now. This and the Tubelectric theme are still awesome to me after two decades. Never played the full version so I only have memories of the first episode.

[@Athompthomp]

now i get why that choir line had to be there. its written as a bit of medieval chant, in the context of the level being "Medivo". anyways, this still makes me want to dance to it.

[@FlamingCockatiel]

The armored potato creatures stood out to me on this level. Loved the dreary atmosphere and music.

[@fedusnavar9689]

Lo jugaba en el 2000. Pero lo que más recuerdo del juego es esta cancion. Año 2020 y se me vino a la cabeza nuevamente.

[@luke4djojo]

better than the second game's version

[@OblomSaratov]

The rainy background reminds me of CTF-Dreary map from Unreal Tournament 1999 which was developed by the same company. I even wandered if they were inspired by this level while designing Dreary, but found out that Shane Caudle who made Dreary joined Epic Games a few years later than Jazz Jackrabbit was released.

thumbs up if you only played the shareware.

[@3dgamerman]

the shareware had the most important content in the game, the music.

[@FuzedBox]

For a long while, yeah. My parents hated ordering antything, but they did order this, Zone 66, and Doom : )

[@sandakureva]

I think Jazz Jackrabbit is the only shareware my dad ever actually bought. That and a few from Pangaea Software for his mac.

[@synergysmo]

What an absolute banger. I put this on when fighting Miraak in Skyrim SE and it made the whole experience better.

Anyone who played MAGMML Will remember this

[@colltonrighem]

If Epic Games ever got a representative in Smash, the most logical one would be Jonesy, since Fortnite is their flagship IP at the moment, but my dream one would be Jazz for the music that would get added alone. Lmao

[@silverthecatastrophic5270]

They seriously need to make a new Jazz Jackrabbit game If it were anything like this game, it would be fucking amazing

[@Roanix1]

Oh man, so many memories

[@mattisheretonight]

this music makes me think of Baloo from the Jungle Book and Mowgli in a medieval standoff constantly sizing each other up and shifting from side-to-side but never actually making any advances or attacks. They are circling atop King Arthur's Round Table as plates are being crushed beneath their feet and the knights are cheering (half for Baloo and half for Mowgli). There is a violent thunderstorm outside of the castle and lightning cracks down upon Excalibur as King Arthur holds it (cheering and raising it up into the sky, belting his warcry for the entire kingdom to hear).

[@MrZozue]

Man what have you been smoking? LOL..... Great story anyways...

[@ClioMako]

Your comment is half the reason I keep coming back to this video. Good story, but kinda messed up.

[@ShadowtheYouTuber523]

This legitimately sounds like a music track from a random SNES game but it's from a DOS game??? Ok but anyway, it's great! It sounds like factory music. I first heard this in Super Mario Bros. Invaders of the Mushroom Kingdom's world 5 which is why I thought it was originally from a SNES game and I didn't want to stop playing the stages where this played, it's THAT good.

[@Zordboy]

This was amazing. I remember when my best friend and I, when we were 12, started playing this game, and we fell in love with this level music. You'd play the game just to get to Medivo and listen to the music.

[@retrowolf3456]
