Happy Goat: The Internet catches up to you!

So, it's around 1994-1995 or so, and the Atari Jaguar has been released. Arguably, the one game everyone remembers when someone mutters Atari Jaguar is Tempest 2000, aka T2K.

Along with the intense graphics (hey, for the time, they were incredible), and gameplay, was the screaming soundtrack compliments of Imagitec Design.

These tracks are MOD files. I then come across a DOS-based (remember DOS?) mod player... Add a mini-disc player/recorder because I couldn't record audio directly to wav/mp3 on my system via DOS. Mix the track in realtime! Playback the minidisc to record an audio file via line-in on my system. Email to a friend of mine running an Atari Jaguar related website ... and many, many years later -- it shows up on YouTube!
