Ooh, I just realized... The OneStation-- whose menu screen uses the music from Nanjing's Super Robot Wars port-- is also manufactured by JungleTac.
Maybe Nanjing really did rip off JungleTac rather than the other way around?
Something is definitely up between the two companies, anyway!
And I wish Josh had left more of GP Race's title screen in the video-- that definitely sounds like Nanjing's old sound engine.[/quote]Sounds like JungleTac ripping off yet another company if you ask me. Then again, SNT ripped off Dragon Co. themselves so I think based on what these companies have ripped off before, could be either of them.
What makes it confusing in my opinion is that one of the games with SNT's music was apparently made in 2001 when they formed in 2003, apparently. I presume the copyright date wasn't updated and that JungleTac are being thieving expletives, but I don't think there's anything to back that up yet.
Also, I noticed that both companies use Konami's sound engine at one point or another. The theme from that Super Robot Wars port was remixed for one of SNT's other games (I forget which) while JungleTac uses it for pretty much all of their games.
About that last part, I don't think that's SNT music. Sounds like it was ripped off a legit game if you ask me. I'd guess Darkwing Duck judging by what I heard but I doubt it.
BTW, I think it'd help if someone could dump a multicart or something that has JungleTac's 8-bit games on it, but I think their games are always built in to the console.
well this is weird. maybe, since some of those Jungletac games are 2001ish, ie pre-Nanjing, the musician moved from Jungletac to Nanjing (both are in Shenzhen AFAIK so it wouldnt be too much of a stretch). that OneStation cart with the SRW music was way later than that, but I think the menu music there is reused from some old JungleTac handheld anyway, so it could still have been the same guy.

they did port a few of their 16 bit games to the GBA for some weird reason, but i don't think they were ever released standalone (or maybe they were?) they were just distributed with the Dingoo.
