When I was a kid, I had Snakey Chantey playing in my ears, running around the courtyards and apartment buildings, climbing up and down everything. This song carried a spirit of "You wanna get up and Move. And You wanna Love Doing It."
I am a 32 year old black woman with 4 kids. And I listen to this whole sou Soundtrack in my car alone sometimes. Brings back childhood memories. Literally the best soundtrack ever
For me was super Mario 3 on Nintendo, then donkey, etc.....Didn't like the earlier work stuff. Except sonic the hedgehog on saga :) x saying that not long after street fighter was getting vamped, Oooooh yeah! Enter Ryu ......
Stickerbrush Symphony just hits different. I used to go into the secret menu to play the music, and this is one I would leave on when studying or cleaning my room. It just made my brain happy. Same with Forest Interlude.
This whole OST is musically impressive. Such great compositions. We could not even realize that as children playing a game. We only knew it sounded so damn good.
This is My favorite game Ever it's just absolute perfection all the way across the board Especially all the music it gets me teared up just amazing!!!!
I looked for this song just to remember That this game was my mother's favorite and she died. She played this game for hours and hours and today she just missed it and I play this game because of her
Just bought this game again, my grandma had the SNES at her place and I used to play it all the time when I was visiting her but she lost the cartridge. I am playing it right now and I must admit this is one of the best videogame I've ever played. This is going to be an epic journey!!
Favorite game of all time I just beat it again recently. This game also reminds me of my first crush ever. Throw back to first grade in Ms. Goldberg class 1998. My crushes name was Danielle. She had asked me if I had the guide book to to DKC 2 and I sure did. I brought it with me to school the next day. Got my first kiss for doing that. I swear I got the memory of an elephant. I can not believe I’m actually sharing this story on here.
@@tylerrumfelt3353 Nostalgia Pain, The pain and melancholy of a Childhood that is lost, never to be lived again. And that first time you hear the song, that infinite feeling, forever gone. Hope that is an acceptable answer.
Disco train...I used to push pause on that track as a kid and just do my cleaning and dancin in my room do my homework man the memories! Wheres the LOOP THIS TRACK AT!🤣
@@obiwan7191Very much so. It low-key feels a little bit deeper than just "nostalgia", but I can't for the life of me put words on why, but it's super fascinating.
Tbh, being an adult is definitely more tiring but the depth of the feelings I get as an adult is far greater. It's kinda wild just how much listening to this old music highlights that for me.
Is this literally just the best game soundstrack ever? Even good soundtracks have weak points here and there... Not this one! Just killer track after killer track. My god what a pleasure!
The first game's soundtrack was great, but this one is legendary. This is also happens to be the only one where David Wise composed the entire soundtrack.
I'm just 21 years old, those games are not from my time, but when I was 8-9 my father downloaded the Snes9x, Stella Atari 2600 and Dgen Mega Drive emulators, and we could revive together his kid/teen days. I'm proud to say that a little part of my father's childhood, was passed to mine. Those were magical days.
Your dad must have had you pretty young for these games to be his childhood, right? I'm 21 as well and my 28 yo brother grew up with the SNES himself (so did I, by proxy of his hand-me-downs).
@@Sagaan42 Huh, good point. I just turned 22 myself and my father was 20 when this game came out (he never had a Nintendo, though). I think my father didn't get a machine he could play games on until he was around 15, so that the games he introduced me to when I was young (Lemmings, for example) aren't the oldest is not so surprising.
@@607 that's cool. I kinda take it for granted nowadays that people play games from the time they learn to move their fingers and think. It didn't use to be that way. Never had a family member who liked games and was introduced to them after childhood, though.
My Top 10 Favorites 10- Snakey Chantey 22:58 9- Funky The Main Monkey 1:09:28 8- Hot Head Bop 11:35 7- Haunted Chase 41:17 6- Krooks March 46:52 5- Disco Train 33:09 4- StickerBush Symphony 24:39 3-Forest Interlude 36:40 2-In a SnowBound Land 43:39 1-Mining Melancholy 15:20
Our childhoods may have not been perfect but this game definitely brought good times, laughs, and happy smiles on our faces. It’s crazy how music can throw us back to a time where things were so simple. My dad introduced Donkey Kong to me, and I’ve been wanting to replay the games with him while I have the time to do it.
I'm 24 now, still young, but I remember perfectly this soundtrack. I was in my room, trying again and again, this game was hard and I was a baby. Begging my dad to help me, I wish I could still ask him for help. This song is probably the only thing in the world that can rip me apart in less than a second, it's insane.
what a fuckin banger soundtrack. david probably could've turned in something much more generic but he popped the fuck off and the results still hold up nearly 30 years later.
As a kid, booting this game up always gave me a sense of immersion I never got from any other game. The visuals and the music both go together so well. The nostalgia I get from just the music and the image on this video is insane lol
David Wise is probably my favorite composer, the fact that he was doing music this good back on the SNES is insane. Some of these songs are just really emotional for me and this is a game about monkeys jumping and collecting bananas. Also, Snowbound Land is underrated for sure
Insuperável!! É um mix de recordação essa playlist. É sexta-feira, é locadora, é primo, é casa cheia, é domingo em família, é infância, enfim é uma geração.
Yes, Stickerbrush Symphony is wonderful, and almost certainly the best song this game has to offer, but lets see some appreciation for Forest Interlude and Crocodile Cacophony. Both bangers in completely different ways.
The entire soundtrack screams SNES 1995. It’s awesome, reliving my childhood. Runners up: Forest Interlude In a Snow-Bound Land 🥉Hot Head Bop 🥈 Mining Melancholy 🥇 Stickerbrush Symphony
A lot of these tracks are just really really good ambient techno/IDM tracks. Mining Melancholy just sounds like an Autechre track. Incredible that he made this with a fucking Super Nintendo
I was 7 years old when I first played this game with my brother. We reached the final chapter of this game while staying at my second aunt's house during summer vacation. Sometimes, when I listen to this soundtrack, the weather and smells of that time come to mind.
@@JesusDaLawd i used to like Stickerbrush the most but then switched my favorite song to Forest Interlude. I think it just has more cool nuances in it.
Stickerbrush Symphony is giving me the chills man... I got it for wii u and maybe i will play the game trough some time, although i can't enjoy the music when I'm stressing the f** out
I’m so grateful to have grown up with virtual console, enabling me to play all these great 90s games when I was a kid. These melodies are planted so deep within my subconscious, i’ll cherish them forever
same for me, when I hear the melodies I travel back in my mind to a 6-10 year old me playing that game, sitting with my sister in our room, tv was placed in an old wooden shelf and below the tv was our lego and nearby some polly pocket and the grey big nintendo game boy. A real 90s childhood
I am 37 year old, white man from Spain, this game is my childhood. It is pure nostalgia and this music makes me travel to another world. There are no more games like before, it's pure art.
I bought this game recently, still on delivery, the mid-life joke was buying a motor cycle or fancy car. This economy hits differnent, building up my old dream SNES collection is enough for me.
best ones are (in no particular order) - Mining Melancholy - Stickerbush Symphony - Hot Head Bop - In a Snow-Bound Land - Forest Interlude - Bayou Boogie - Jib Jig
I played this game for the first time a few years ago so I can’t say it’s my favorite soundtrack of all time yet but its definitely up there with some of favorites. Yoshis island, Halo 3, Mother 3
Jumping in to tell anyone that reads to play Tropical Freeze on Switch if you haven’t yet! It’s AWESOME and David Wise makes a triumphant return as the composer and as I’m sure you can imagine the soundtrack is SICK
The music and gameplay of Tropical Freeze makes it a worthy successor to DKC 2. Even though I do think Tropical Freeze's flaw make it worse than DKC 2, it's still an incredible game like every other game in the DKC franchise.
Stickerbrush is when your older sister comes and shows you how to play the game. You don't need to be able to beat it, she can carry you over the clouds. The green spikes and the air and the gunpowder barrels.... none of that will stay with you as long
My grandmother got me my first video game ever... the game boy pocket.... two games, Dkc2 and Yellow version.... i couldnt figure out the contrast knob for the first few weeks... but eventually i think I truly spent a well beloved second lifetimes worth of time listening and whistling along to this soundtrack while my little mind exploded. Only ever beat it once, and it was by accident!!! X3 Thank you, Grandma.... I love you.
Forest Interlude may just be one of the best video game songs I've ever heard and I haven't even played this game but this music tells me I should. It's so beautiful!
*Welcome to Crocodile Isle* It's not the best track, by far. But it's the one most ingrained to memory. It's simple continuous loop will continue to play within my head long after the actual tune, or whatever triggered it ceased. For this reason, I both love it and loathe it.
I played this game back in 1996-1997....I would never imagine that I would be nostalgic about it 26 years afterwards. Gaming back then was extremely fun and fulfilling. Developers really knew the essence of what makes a great game....
I love hearing these songs, brings back memories when I was playing and then teaching my kids how to play too. Maybe I should hook it up again and make a day of it
Snakey Chantey 22:58 Funky The Main Monkey 1:09:28 Hot Head Bop 11:35 Haunted Chase 41:17 Krooks March 46:52 Disco Train 33:09 StickerBush Symphony 24:39 Forest Interlude 36:40 In a SnowBound Land 43:39 Mining Melancholy 15:20 Jib jig 6:08 Mining melancholy 15:20 Snakey chantey 22:58 Forest interlude 36:40 Primal rave 55:38 School house harmony 1:07:42
I'm 23, my story with this game is less romantic, just an old pc and zsnes in early 2000s. DKC was hardly the first, but the earliest game I can remember, when I was 3. I've played hundreds of games in my life, but DKC2 is still my favorite game of all time.
I still think Cranky Kong will come after us in the future, when we are playing unreal engine 5 games, totally forgotten the skill and finesse needed for games like dkc2. Its like heaving an answering machine over a smartphone and use the slowtime to enjoy your dkc2 while wifi is not even there
I play the GBA version which I thought just had slightly downgraded music; now I'm in awe after hearing this. I can't even explain how great this sounds
I still think 1:02:12 is some of the best credits music in a video game I've ever heard. After playing the entire game from start to finish it has a sense of victory and conclusion to it. Very well done and by far one of the most memorable tracks from the game.
I love the pounding drums, it's the sounds the Kongs would make stomping and slamming. Symbolic of their freedom. This whole soundtrack is immersed in the universe of the game. I love the use of sounds and instruments that you would find in the world itself. My favorite track is Klomp Romp for this reason
Man, that ending music was EPIC. I remember really liking the ending music from DK1 and looked forward to the credit music on DK2 and remember not being disappointed!
It's just the soundtrack for a silly kids game about monkeys , no need to drop the absolute hardest beats, tones, grooves and melodies for people of all ages to enjoy forever...
8:22 I blast this from the speakers. One of the best from the game, it really showed off the audio capabilities of the SNES. Who needs blast processing with audio like this?
Ah to hear Stickerbrush Symphony again. One of the purchases from Nintendo Power I will always remember is the trilogy soundtrack. What a rare treasure. :) Edit: Seriously the things the composer pulled off on the SNES made me want to cry it's so beautiful
They did really good job at contrasting the DKC games. All three games were amazing and i feel like they all took a risk while maintaining enough of the DKC formula to not stray too far from what made the games great in the first place.
27 years old and just for what it means and the emotions that these songs transmit to me I keep listening to them at full volume in my truck 😢😢😢😢Take me back in time and leave me in 2009😢😢😢
Everyone talks about Stickerbrush Symphony yet no one talks about the absolute banger before- Snakey Chantey
Yea that songs is hype, make me feel like Ricky Ricardo in a big band concert.
When I was a kid, I had Snakey Chantey playing in my ears, running around the courtyards and apartment buildings, climbing up and down everything. This song carried a spirit of "You wanna get up and Move. And You wanna Love Doing It."
Also, Lockjaw's Saga? Sure its not as melodic but damn that's some good writing🔥
One of my favorite stages with a fantastic song.
The snake and spider of all things are my favorite animal companions.
@@Oceanandskylinevidss you just dated yourself heavily sir. care to explain?
I can still see my little brother playing with an unplugged controler.
🤣🤣 Lol. Nasty
my brother use to do this to me, haven't laughed this hard in awhile, absolutely hilarious stuff
I am a 32 year old black woman with 4 kids. And I listen to this whole sou Soundtrack in my car alone sometimes. Brings back childhood memories. Literally the best soundtrack ever
Expose your kids to this masterpiece ik thats what ima do when that time comes
youre a legend
Same here
Yeah! I'm not the only one then...
Your race is a non-factor here just enjoy🤷♂️
25 Years and this is still my favorite soundtrack, favorite sequel, favorite video game of all time. Nothing will ever top DKC2!
I appreciate this nostalgia aswell, shit's deep lol. Kinda drunk just listening to forest interlude. 👌🏼😭💖
25 years and still the best
The gold standard for side scrolling platforming
The greatest ever!
I'm from Brazil, 31 years, i Love dc 2 Nintendo snes.

SNES era gave us the best soundtrack of our childhood.
Yeah. So many awesome soundtracks from the 16-bit era. :-)
I couldn't agree more! I JUST said this very thing to my husband two seconds ago. Hahha.
Indeed, though some like NES, Genesis, and N64 are close.
❤
Stickerbrush Symphony just hits different. I used to go into the secret menu to play the music, and this is one I would leave on when studying or cleaning my room. It just made my brain happy. Same with Forest Interlude.
You nailed it right there. Those are my two favorite songs from DKC 2. King K Rool and Aquatic Ambience are my favorites from the first one.
It's stickerbush
This whole OST is musically impressive. Such great compositions. We could not even realize that as children playing a game. We only knew it sounded so damn good.
6:16 you have no idea how emotional and happy I become when I hear this melody. My entire childhood and happiness in this game. Simply beautiful.
This is My favorite game Ever it's just absolute perfection all the way across the board Especially all the music it gets me teared up just amazing!!!!
I looked for this song just to remember That this game was my mother's favorite and she died. She played this game for hours and hours and today she just missed it and I play this game because of her
Me too.....me too
Same here totally.
I get a little shiver me timbers
Just bought this game again, my grandma had the SNES at her place and I used to play it all the time when I was visiting her but she lost the cartridge. I am playing it right now and I must admit this is one of the best videogame I've ever played. This is going to be an epic journey!!
Perfect for celebrating donkey kongs big 40th anniversary!
@@quilillillia 😄😄
I place it in my top 5 favorite videogames
Absolutly true. Best Game ive every played. Top 3 List from me: DK2, FFX, TES5
my all time favorite and the soundtrack bangs.. fun times!
Favorite game of all time I just beat it again recently. This game also reminds me of my first crush ever. Throw back to first grade in Ms. Goldberg class 1998. My crushes name was Danielle. She had asked me if I had the guide book to to DKC 2 and I sure did. I brought it with me to school the next day. Got my first kiss for doing that. I swear I got the memory of an elephant. I can not believe I’m actually sharing this story on here.
It must've been a great memory.
Forest Interlude Masterpiece!
for me the best, has a nostalgic deeper power, and the harmonic its almost cry
I can’t agree more. I remember it's name is Enchanted Forest... Maybe it's the difference between UK and US version?
yeah !
For me, it literally is the best SNES related song, ever. It's this perfect package of nostalgia and melancholy to me.
The best ❤
some 20 years later, forest interlude is still fire.
Currently at the gym deadlifting and listening to the lost world anthem
What a banger of a soundtrack

i 100% get that

Its amazing aint it? How it can bring so much memory and meaning. Its fascinating
@@obiwan7191Very much so. It low-key feels a little bit deeper than just "nostalgia", but I can't for the life of me put words on why, but it's super fascinating.
15:20 Mining Melancholy
Love this track 😍
Dude that’s the track!
Best track of DKC2
Even the name is delightful
Best for me
My personal favorite.
Mining Melancholy is so fucking underrated, from the verse and the "humming" chorus out of nowhere... I love it
It's sooooo good, man. I agree! It's just so pleasing to the ears.
I literally cried at Stickerbrush Symphony man .. I wanna be a kid again
Tbh, being an adult is definitely more tiring but the depth of the feelings I get as an adult is far greater. It's kinda wild just how much listening to this old music highlights that for me.

Ikr. It's so consistent
It is indeed the best on the SNES that's for sure!
i don´t like the first theme Klomp Romp all the others are either very good or masterpieces
It is one of the best of all time.
ever heard of Chronotrigger?
My Top 3:
1. Krook's March
2. Crocodile Cacophony
3. Boss Bossanova
The first game's soundtrack was great, but this one is legendary. This is also happens to be the only one where David Wise composed the entire soundtrack.

36:40 Forest Interlude so nostalgic melody, and deeper the most strong melody of dkc2 for me, had a lost of feelings
I agree. I always loved this one the most. I wonder if anyone has remixed it yet. ✌
It's just so mesmerizing and it gives you that sense of deep thinking.
Try hear yung lixo-shypon filter
Its a good music with this soundtrack in background
Like this so much
The best one.
Can't help the tears. Many years later I found another favourite: In a Snow-Bound Land. It makes me travel soooo far...

I'm 24 now, still young, but I remember perfectly this soundtrack. I was in my room, trying again and again, this game was hard and I was a baby. Begging my dad to help me, I wish I could still ask him for help.
This song is probably the only thing in the world that can rip me apart in less than a second, it's insane.
Forest Interlude and Mining Melancholy are my guilty pleasures. Of course, Stickerbush Symphony is a timeless masterpiece.
guilty???? absolute gems.
Stickerbrush Symphony ... the best!
*10000%!!*
That's exactly what I came here for
36:41 forest interlude, the best😍😍😍✨
Its sooo underrated
Bayou Boogie is so underrated it's criminal. That phat bass line is just so sick.
Forest Interlude, Stickerbrush Symphony and In Snow-Bound land my favorite ones ❤
Add Mining Melancholy and Hot-Head Bop and i'm game.
Ah Yes, one of the best game songs and at the same time one of the most commonly mispelled song: Stickerbush Symphony.
what a fuckin banger soundtrack. david probably could've turned in something much more generic but he popped the fuck off and the results still hold up nearly 30 years later.
If you want your mind blown go to 1:04:44 and listen to the *entire* bonus intro song.
is everybody seriously sleeping on 59:05 Crocodile Cacophony? this shit is a BOP, has no reason to go this hard.

It's genius to put sound effects IN the Music itself, making the whole Level more alive and imersive. Specialy in Hot-Head Bop or Mining Melancholy
The mind blowing part is that they managed to do all of it on 128kB of RAM.

Just listened to the DKC1 OST before this… Crazy how much DKC2 improved on an already strong soundtrack. Legendary game.
best ones are (in no particular order)
- Mining Melancholy
- Stickerbush Symphony
- Hot Head Bop
- In a Snow-Bound Land
- Forest Interlude
- Bayou Boogie
- Jib Jig
I love all the songs, but I think the ‘StickerBrush Symphony’ is like the absolute best, oh, those are the days in the mid 90s 🤩🤩🤩
I played this game for the first time a few years ago so I can’t say it’s my favorite soundtrack of all time yet but its definitely up there with some of favorites. Yoshis island, Halo 3, Mother 3
Jumping in to tell anyone that reads to play Tropical Freeze on Switch if you haven’t yet! It’s AWESOME and David Wise makes a triumphant return as the composer and as I’m sure you can imagine the soundtrack is SICK
The music and gameplay of Tropical Freeze makes it a worthy successor to DKC 2. Even though I do think Tropical Freeze's flaw make it worse than DKC 2, it's still an incredible game like every other game in the DKC franchise.
36:40 I still can't believe the SNES was capable of music this beautiful
32:13 kid me was in a PANIC when this theme started playing out of nowhere!! It's a well done transition lol
The sudden humming chorus is Mining Melancholy is EVERYTHING
The sound of wind and water made the ship levels really immersive
24 years here, and i still use DK songs to study or just relax. C'mon, this is sooo nostalgic!
8:22 LOCKJAW'S SAGA IS SO GOOD!!!!
Ya it's my favorite out of all songs
I always get flashbacks of that Lockjaw lunging at me, the song is as intense as that feeling of terror!
Stickerbrush is when your older sister comes and shows you how to play the game. You don't need to be able to beat it, she can carry you over the clouds. The green spikes and the air and the gunpowder barrels.... none of that will stay with you as long
Fico assombrado com a inspiração do David Wise teve para criar cada trilha desse game...sou grato por ter vivido esses anos de ouro DK2!!!
O cara é um monstro mesmo.
Que epoca amigos, que epoca...
Que época maravilhosa!!!!
o game mais perfeito da minha epoca .
jogabilidade, cenários, gráficos e a sua trilha sonora insuperável ate os dias de hoje.
My grandmother got me my first video game ever... the game boy pocket.... two games, Dkc2 and Yellow version.... i couldnt figure out the contrast knob for the first few weeks... but eventually i think I truly spent a well beloved second lifetimes worth of time listening and whistling along to this soundtrack while my little mind exploded. Only ever beat it once, and it was by accident!!! X3 Thank you, Grandma.... I love you.
Forest Interlude may just be one of the best video game songs I've ever heard and I haven't even played this game but this music tells me I should. It's so beautiful!
whole vibe
You can play it online on a emulator for free. Best game ever
@@scoobydoo529 yeah I did a bit after writing this comment, truly a masterpiece of platformers. Same applies for the first Country game.
*Welcome to Crocodile Isle*
It's not the best track, by far. But it's the one most ingrained to memory. It's simple continuous loop will continue to play within my head long after the actual tune, or whatever triggered it ceased. For this reason, I both love it and loathe it.
I'm 34 and listening to it cause it brings childhood memories
I played this game back in 1996-1997....I would never imagine that I would be nostalgic about it 26 years afterwards.
Gaming back then was extremely fun and fulfilling. Developers really knew the essence of what makes a great game....
You know a game is good when even the soundtrack is epic.
I love hearing these songs, brings back memories when I was playing and then teaching my kids how to play too. Maybe I should hook it up again and make a day of it

I'm 23, my story with this game is less romantic, just an old pc and zsnes in early 2000s. DKC was hardly the first, but the earliest game I can remember, when I was 3. I've played hundreds of games in my life, but DKC2 is still my favorite game of all time.
SNES is the home to most of my favorite OSTs!
I still think Cranky Kong will come after us in the future, when we are playing unreal engine 5 games, totally forgotten the skill and finesse needed for games like dkc2. Its like heaving an answering machine over a smartphone and use the slowtime to enjoy your dkc2 while wifi is not even there
The Best....
3:39 klomp's Romp
15:20 Mining Melancholy
22:58 Snakey Chantey
36:40 Forest Interlude
THE BEST EVER
24:39 Stickerbrush Symphony
HOT HEAD BOP!
It’s stickerBUSH!
For lords sake.It’s the million something time someone says it.
Bayou boogie is literally the best one on here next to hot head and mining melancholy
I play the GBA version which I thought just had slightly downgraded music; now I'm in awe after hearing this. I can't even explain how great this sounds
I still think 1:02:12 is some of the best credits music in a video game I've ever heard. After playing the entire game from start to finish it has a sense of victory and conclusion to it. Very well done and by far one of the most memorable tracks from the game.
Always gets my skin crawling, in a good way. Especially when it hits those highs.
I love the pounding drums, it's the sounds the Kongs would make stomping and slamming. Symbolic of their freedom. This whole soundtrack is immersed in the universe of the game. I love the use of sounds and instruments that you would find in the world itself. My favorite track is Klomp Romp for this reason
Man, that ending music was EPIC. I remember really liking the ending music from DK1 and looked forward to the credit music on DK2 and remember not being disappointed!
It's just the soundtrack for a silly kids game about monkeys , no need to drop the absolute hardest beats, tones, grooves and melodies for people of all ages to enjoy forever...
My Favorites: Mining Melancholy, Lockjaw's Saga, Flight of the Zinger, Krook's March, Boss Bossanova, and Crocodile Cacophony.
Mais alguém do Brasil que ama essa obra de arte ? 🇧🇷❤️
Também ouço
é uma obra de arte
imagina os produtores criando isso, mano, bah, demais demais
Eu prefiro a trilha do donkey kong country 1

This OST has absolutely NO RIGHT to be this good.
8:22 I blast this from the speakers. One of the best from the game, it really showed off the audio capabilities of the SNES. Who needs blast processing with audio like this?
Ah to hear Stickerbrush Symphony again. One of the purchases from Nintendo Power I will always remember is the trilogy soundtrack. What a rare treasure. :)
Edit: Seriously the things the composer pulled off on the SNES made me want to cry it's so beautiful
This is my jam right here 12:47. When that section of Hot-Head Bop comes in, it's perfect.
Love that part too
They did really good job at contrasting the DKC games. All three games were amazing and i feel like they all took a risk while maintaining enough of the DKC formula to not stray too far from what made the games great in the first place.
david wise = legend.
this is one of the best OSTs of all time!
27 years old and just for what it means and the emotions that these songs transmit to me I keep listening to them at full volume in my truck 😢😢😢😢Take me back in time and leave me in 2009😢😢😢
2000 was an amazing year thanks to this game 😢
THANKS DAVID WISE!!!!
The soundtrack of a simpler time. A better time.
