Bonk's Adventure, man! Just thinking about the Turbografx-16 brings back so many good, credit-card-sized-game memories. Bonk still ranks up there for me as one of the best platformers, not only because it had good music, but because you ate meat and your head exploded and you jumped on springy flowers and you essentially cracked eggshells with your head to win the game. Also, everything about its design seems sooooo weird and Japanese to me now, but in my youth just came off as charming. I guess I just accepted a lot of things without question then.
The original track has a more world/tribal drumbeat behind it, but I found a drum loop in Logic that just kind of hit it right on the head, and so this remix was born.
