Tamarin aims to recapture the glory days of 3D platformers with the help of some of Rare veterans.
Some of the Rare employees responsible for the studio's N64 golden age titles are getting the band back together to work on a new platformer called Tamarin.
Truth be told, we don't know much about Tamarin at this point. The trailer hints at a mostly cutesy platformer that looks remarkably similar to recent 3D platformer throwback title, Yooka-Laylee. We see our hero watch his village be brunt to the ground, which (naturally) inspires him to go on a globe-trotting quest. Along the way, he encounters what appear to be industrial villains bent on destroying the game's lush and natural world.
While that adventure appears to include the all of the puzzle solving and collecting we've come to associate with 3D platformers made during the N64 era, we're a little...

From Muppet Treasure Island to Speed, we take a look at the 90s soundtracks that deserve another listen...
Ah, the 1990s. The decade that brought us The Lion King. Titanic. Quentin Tarantino. That wordless bathroom scene in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. Angelo Badalamenti's Twin Peaks. Duel of the Fates from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. In the Mood for Love.
It was a good 10 years for film music, no doubt.
But scratch the surface of 1991 through 1999 and there are tons of good scores ready to spring a surprise on your ears. Some were attached to sorely underrated movies, others were overshadowed by wildly successful ones, and some have simply been forgotten in the passage of time.
Here, in no particular order, are the top 25 underappreciated film soundtracks from the 1990s.
1. Chaplin - John Barry
Okay, let's start with a big one. Richard Attenborough. Robert Downey Jr. John Barry.

Maybe the word “Ocarina” means nothing to you. It is a strange word. It could be the name of some long-lost defunct kingdom from Middle Europe, or perhaps a rare Eastern delicacy invented by Marco Polo to pad out his memoir. But if you’re someone of a certain age and temperament — someone who owned a Nintendo 64, in the long-ago era when videogame consoles were so resolutely un-chic that a major multinational corporation could actually create a controller seems specifically designed for tri-ped sewer mutants — then the word “Ocarina” can’t help but send you senselessly on a memory-spiral into...
