Video Game Music Guessing Contest - February 2016

Yes, it's post 7000. Well, the only reason it is is because I can't work on my hack until we have a better Sprite Tool.


Welcome, one and all, to the latest Video Game Music Guessing Contest. You probably already know how this works, but if not...you pretty much try to guess video game music, based on a short clip of the track (usually 30 seconds long or less). Yeah. There are a few slight rule wrinkles to iron out, though, as follows:
- 1) You get 1 point for guessing the exact game title. If you get the series (or subseries) but not the game, you get half credit.
- 2) If something is from a series that goes in order but doesn't always specify the numbers, using subtitles instead, either is acceptable. For instance, you may say either "Mario & Luigi: Dream Team" or "Mario & Luigi 4" (or "Mario & Luigi RPG 4"). The same is true for games whose titles have a easily-understood shorter form (for instance, "Atelier Ayesha" rather than the full "Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk").
- 3) If something is from the first game in the series, please specify that some way; otherwise, I don't know if you're talking about the first game or the series as a whole.
- 4) You can get a bonus 1/2 point each for naming the exact title of the song for tracks 6, 34, and 41.

Now, with all that rulemongering out of the way, I hope everyone has fun with this. Maybe you'll find some new soundtracks to like that you didn't know about before, or even new games (or new things to port, if you're a music porter). I do not have any prizes to give out, unfortunately. Sorry, guys. (Hey, I'm dirt-poor...) So you all get participation badges.

The music can all be found here. Deadline for entry is February 29, at 23:59:59 MST (6:59:59 GMT), and you may PM me your answers. (Also, I have no idea how difficult any of these will be or if the variety is acceptable, so...make of that what you will.) Oh, and you may discuss the contest in this thread as well.

Without further ado...have at it!

man on first pass I got only one of these for sure lol. A bunch definitely sounded familiar and i have some guesses for a bunch I need to check but really you and i have very different music taste. That's been established pretty clearly at this point lol. A lot of these songs sound familiar and I might have played some of these games, but a lot of these songs aren't the type of song I'd find memorable.
hopefully I can scrape together enough answers by the end to justify entering tho.

I could only recognize 12 songs only.

i only got 3 LOL
LucasRCD you really should edit that other bit out of your post, considering now people can just go through the entire series (as big as it is) to find any tracks related to that series.

Granted, it doesn't matter as much here considering there's no prize and getting top place is just a vanity price, but it still takes out a lot of the fun of the guessing contest.

If you think that's bad, I got one. And submitted it purely for participation badge.

... wait, I forgot to scroll the ZIP beyond file called 38.mp3... not that it matters, because I don't recognize anything beyond it anyway.
Legacy ports zip (now that those went down because Dropbox)
I got exactly one as well. It's #34 btw.
I really want to know what #44, it's really catchy! Just 3 more weeks and I can find out what the soundtrack name is lol

Dang, did I make these too hard? I didn't want to just throw a bunch of Mario, Donkey Kong, and Mega Man stuff in there because I thought it would be too easy, but I don't know.

Though I also notice a conspicuous lack of Tokiko or S.N.N. so far...

It's not that it's hard, I can at least recognize 1 fifth of the songs, unlike other contests. I do however want this contest to end sooner so I can find out what that incredible song at 40 is, just so I can listen to it forever.

I can only recognize the 36th song.
The only ones I knew were 10, 23 and 34.

Wait, I have a question: If I already submitted my guesses via PM, does that mean I can't submit a new one with guesses of songs that I only remembered now plus the other ones I guessed before?

You may submit updates if you've figured out more of them, yes.

I think for me and a few others it's hard because a lot of this is stuff I wouldn't really listen to. There's a few things that have a familiar air to it and a few that I got (cant remember off the top of my head which ones) but this a contest I'm probably going to do bad at.

tho I'll prolly just not submit like most contests tbh
Oh, I should mention that there are no tracks from fangames in here. I considered having a few, but I wasn't sure how fair it would be.

Only seven.
Alright, so, I guessed a total of 16 songs.

I have a hint for song 1: It's from a game.
