Halzyn's VGM Guessing Contest - It's Not An April Fool's Joke!

yooooo fam. i'm hosting a contest, how rad is that?

basically i just picked songs i really enjoy listening to, along with some obscure picks 'n stuff. gotta keep it fresh, neh? if anything, my goal for this contest is to get people to discover some cool new tunes while doing this contest!

RULES:
well you know it's your generic vgm guessing contest. guessing a game correctly will net you 1 point! almost getting it but not quite (i.e. a franchise guess, for example guessing Mario Galaxy or just Mario when really it's New Super Mario Bros.) will net you half a point, and solo guesses will net you a half bonus point! so get crackin'!

PRIZES:
I'll have a nice personal chat with the top 3! I'm sure we'll figure out the perfect prize for you. I have a decent budget, so we'll see!

DEADLINE:
The contest ends April 25th, 23:00 or 11:00 PM CEST (that's Central European Summer Time). Get your guesses in before then! (or feel the wrath of my mighty blade) (idk)

SHUT UP AND JUST LET ME GET STARTED ALREADY:
Alright, you didn't have to yell at me.

Here's the archive link. If people want me to upload this archive elsewhere I can do that too (e.g. Dropbox/Mediafire) -- I will, however, not upload the songs individually. (too much work for me imo)

Good luck and beyond that, hope you feel enjoy! Sorry for disturb.
Most of them seem like random sound effects or rhythms, and I feel like I've heard or played #30, but I can't quite make it out. Also, I only know two of them right away. Otherwise, this is really hard. I'm not sure if I have a good chance of doing well b/c someone will probably know like half of them or something.
The best feeling is the feeling that you know you have heard a music before and after 1-2 day of hard thinking finally memorize which game it come from...
Heh, I'd know #32 anywhere, one of my few favourite songs of all time.

#23, on the other hand.... gah. I KNOW I've heard it before, but I just can't place my finger on where it's from #ab{>_<}

I almost didn't recognize #40. Took me a little while.

A lot of NES (or at least NES-styled) songs that I don't recognize, but that shouldn't surprise anyone.
I'm not sure if I should post my guesses since I only know two of them for sure, and I might have a guess on one of them, but I could be way off. I'm afraid to get last place.
Just a small heads-up, but there are approximately 11 hours left to enter the contest! If you have answers ready but haven't sent them in, make sure you do so!
Even though I'm only positive on two of the answers, is it still good to send them in? Like I mentioned before, I'm afraid I might get last place, but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of people entering

That's up to you, man. Personally, I don't mind you sending them in.
So, the contest has ended! I'm pretty happy with the results, people got some stuff I didn't think they were going to get, so good job!

I've written commentary on every track, if you're interested in my motivation for picking it, or just for a fun quip about the game.

NOTE: PLEASE CHECK THE RESULTS. I'M ONLY HUMAN; AN ERROR MAY HAVE SLIPPED BY WITHOUT ME REALISING!!

I will send the 3 winners a PM shortly, so we can discuss your prizes! Tune in next month for Tokiko's probably hella rad contest, which I'm going to totally win maybe perhaps.
fuck I shouldve gotten like three of them but I was sloppy and didnt double check shit

4th is ok tho at least I beat erga ;)
WHOA, HOLY PUDDING! I did not expect 1st place at all (assuming there's no errors in the results-- it appears my score is correct at least), since I only figured out a handful of them. I was holding out hope that just maybe I could get into the top 3 somehow, but wow! I am pleasantly surprised!

I am sooo glad I had recently watched my brother play a bit of Risk of Rain, and that I had figured out the Darkwing Duck one early yesterday, after having submitted the bulk of my answers the night before.

There were still a few others I didn't get that I feel like I should've gotten, but that's okay.
Third place, huh? Didn't quite expect that. It feels like I should've gotten at least KATAM and maybe Sonic Spinball, though, but overall, I'm pretty happy with this result. It was a pretty fun contest overall.

Oh, I should have guessed Ninja Gaiden for #30. I think that was my first instinct, but I only played the NES versions, and I looked through all of the lists, and I couldn't find it. I knew I would probably get last place though b/c these were really hard.
Huh. I could have sworn I sent in some answers, but I don't think I got any of the tracks anyway. Oh well.

I'm working on a hack! Check it out here. Progress: 64/95 levels.

I didn't get anything from you. :o
I must have just had 0 answers and not bothered submitting anything, then.
