Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

You guys still LAN Rocket Jockey? You're my heroes!! I've heard of a few projects to revive it, I'd love to see something solid materialize.

I always thought the soundtrack was composed for the game. Either way, the game and the music were a perfect match. I'll leave this link to the soundtrack for the uninitiated 😉. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1wViRyr6HkizYXvUNKIvzsW8RsS8ySTg

Yes! Thanks for linking the soundtrack. The artist that did the soundtrack, or who's songs were used for the soundtrack was Dick Dale, who is most famous for his song Misirlou (AKA - the Pulp Fiction theme).

It took me forever to find the commercial but this is it - https://www.ispot.tv/ad/nkqx/acura-two-words-dyno-song-by-dick-dale-t1

I guess it wasn't the theme song, but the song Nitro which is the 3rd in the OST. Still caught me by surprise when I heard it.
