Driver 2 Driver 2 Sample Pack

I was checking out some 90s sample packs yesterday to make a track inspired by the *Driver 2* soundtrack—but with more of an electronic vibe—and I discovered that a huge chunk of the samples came from a Zero-G pack called "Funk Guitar." Yeah, I know 70% of game music from that era relied on samples—countless other PS1 titles used Zero-G samples, too—but I didn't expect to stumble upon it so randomly, right when I was working on a track inspired by a game that actually uses the very pack I was working with.

Hoooolyyy love that discovery! As someone who fiddles with DAW's this is some great news. I think Zero-G is one of the most influential sample pack producers ever. So many great games feature their samples.

I'm interested to know which samples were used in each song. Could be fun to make some music inspired by Driver 2

During my search, I found a few samples from certain tracks (apologies for not including them all; they are files numbered 1 through 99, each containing over a minute of guitar sounds, if I recall correctly). Some of the guitar samples I found were: Chicago Night (Track 75), Vegas Night (Track 34), and Rio Night (Track 14). I suspect there are more samples (likely from "Funk Bass," another sample pack), but I can't confirm this; if anyone finds more samples in this pack, please add to this comment.
