Oh sweet! I appreciate meeting someone else of culture.

As a kid, every time my family would go to an "electronics" store in the 90s, I'd always go to the computers. And there would always be an Acer. And Acers always came standard with pack-in shareware from Epic Megagames. Including Jazz. Playing that on a brand-new CRT with speakers blaring...fantastic. Had it at home too of course, but still played it every time we went out. Those old "green" (I always saw them as black) Acers were cool as fuck, even if they were kind of mediocre in terms of stats.

I grew up with the GameBoy Advance version, I only just found out about the original DOS version recently. I downloaded it and had a blast, really wish I played it sooner. The soundtrack in all the games never fail to please me though!

Oh the soundtrack on 1 especially is amazing. Tubelectric and Medivo live in my brain forever. And 2's music was made by the same guy that did the Deus Ex music eventually! But wow, heck of an entry point. I saw that hanging around in stores later, but never ended up playing it. A very strange reworking of the visual style. PC one has a vibe you can't really find on console though, because it was made by a bunch of demoscene people (as a lot of games were back in the day). Or at least you wouldn't find it on GBA Advance: most of the demoscene games ended up on the Genesis.
