I absolutely adore CDs that are just collections of resources - texture CDs filled with random pictures, sound CDs filled with sounds, they're all amazing. Truly a by-gone time, a time I miss more than most.
The thing is, you'd go out and buy these CDs from random companies, then you'd just... get loads of stuff to use. Vaguely related. And the thing on-top of that, is everyone would also buy that CD, and you'd all use similar assets.
I was doing some searching around on teh interwebs and found a Blockland Forums post, and I think I've hit the holy grail. Not only does it include just about every sound used in my favorite childhood game, it includes so much... crufty stuff.
It's the "Expert Software's 5000 Sounds" pack. It appears to be from 1998, putting it just before the Activision acquisition of Expert Software.
I doubt that it's the source for every sound included in it, I mean, it includes a rather familiar sound-
-which is used as the 'gun-shot' sound of Doom 64, and Doom 64 released in 2007.
Anyway, yes, good amount (5000) of sounds, very nice sounds as-well, but today's post is more focused around the music included. It appears to have 'After School Special' of Blockland, which also happens to be longer than what was included in Blockland. The full song, perhaps?
But it also has a lot of new stuff (read: stuff I've never seen before). And they're all really, really lovably goofy. Take a listen, to what might be the most "90's point and click quirky shop music" I've ever heard:
Or, what sounds like a lullaby of the soviet national anthem.
It has a lot. I encourage you to download the pack (torrent & seed to be kind towards Archive.org's servers :) ) and take a peek yourself. It's the best sound pack I've come across. Now, just to find a physical copy...
'Sonic CD with the Original Jump Sound' (Hack) by Clownacy
A good read this one! Apparently this was far more complicated to do than you'd think.

not to be cringe on main, but the little click-clacks of Johnny's metal arm that we hear whenever we're in Johnny's POV literally make the autism creature inside my brain go apeshit
Another collage piece cuz I haven't made any since cringetober ! This ones a lil inspired by a piece by one of my fave accounts on Tumblr (spamton-weekly). In general, their spam art inspires me a lot auu !!
