A hyper-specific topic on this one, it's all tracks featuring orchestra hits! An orchestra hit, commonly used in the 16-bit generation of video game music, is a single staccato note that uses the sounds of a large number of different orchestral instruments. Tracks that use orchestra hits tend to either sound more pumped up or sillier than the average track.

In addition to orchestra hits, Rick puts a second limitation on Matt and Evan for this episode. Listen and find out what it is. A lot of fun tracks in this one!

It's JP2K! This time around, the boys are limiting their picks to games that were only released in this millennium. This episode features tracks from a really nice mix of consoles and indie games that deserve just as much attention as those 80's and 90's jams we all love.

Jam Pak is back! Rick, Evan, and Matt get Season 2 started by playing the hits. Well-known tunes from classic games take center stage in this episode, and they're just as delightful to listen to now as they were the first time we heard 'em.

The wolf children (Jam Pak boys) are back for the 1st annual Jam Pak Spooky Special! Matt, Evan, and Rick talk about hold music, spooky stories from their own lives, and other scary subjects while listening to some Cold Stone Classic jams from spooky games. Better keep the lights on for this one, pals!

We got a copyright claim for this ep in March 2025. So things have slightly changed!
