The iconic 1996 Jamiroquai music video for the hit single 'Virtual Insanity' is a classic and undeniable reminder of the 90s. Finally, dedicated Jamiroquai fans can experience the world of the music video with a recently launched Windows game aptly titled 'Jamiroquai Game.' The zany game is an intriguing extension of Jamiroquai fandom.
The free Windows application is a Frogger-style race to avoid getting trampled by the couches moving across the room. In the original music video, conveyor belts were used to make the couches move.
The emergence of the Jamiroquai Game comes in the same year that the British band is said to be releasing their eighth studio album. Previously, the band had toured after the release of a 20th anniversary album.
