OK, here's a
really bizarre one for ya.
I just found
this video review of a hitherto unseen DreamGear plug-n-play unit. It's very clearly made by JungleTac; not only does one of the games credit "DJ Jungle", but it's also identical UI-wise to the
Centurion GamePad reviewed by HalfBlindGamer.
The second game shown on the DreamGear console is named Jewel Master. It is... (breathes in)... a hack of Magic Jewelry, credited to JungleTac, that uses music from some of Nanjing's RPGs. (
Music which was, in turn, remade from Majin Eiyuuden Wataru, as I've pointed out here before. Oops, wrong one; that's a different tune, but from the same game, Golden Sun. All these Nanjing tunes sound the same anyway.
)
I think my whole understanding of the relationships between all these pirate companies just got turned sideways or something...
Edit: Even more interestingly,
HalfBlindGamer's version has the same game, but with completely different music, sticking with Jungle's more standard Contra sound driver. Go figure!
Edit #2: Oh, wow, this isn't the only game that uses Nanjing music. Space Castle uses Nanjing's remake of the Zelda dungeon theme. And yet, the rest of the games all still seem to use the traditional JungleTac music. Wei~~~rd.
Edit #3: Even more! In
this part of the review, Move Fun has still more Nanjing music, this time from their Saint Seiya game.
