Video Game Music Quiz
http://vgmq.garoux.net/
For people not familiar with VGMQ from the pre-crash GFF, here's the capsule summary: Quote:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Big update today (finally), 24 new tracks by my count. Ordinarily I'd post after I'd listened to the tracks, but I'm currently in the middle of listening to a radio show. Besides, it's been forever since the last update so we gotta get the word out as soon as possible and so forth. |
This new batch made me cry. Most of the songs are 4 points or less, and I only got 4 of them. Other than that, most of the songs were pretty awesome.
We can all agree that #175 is the best song on the entire list, though. |
Hmm, did pretty well in this batch. Got #161, #163, #164, #170, #172, #178, and #183.
The only one that sounds familiar that I didn't get is #179; I know I've heard that riff before, but the rest of the track is unfamiliar. |
Wow, #170 sounds almost exactly like a song that I wrote. I dont' recognize the tune, but my heart skipped a beat when the kalimba came in.
I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm submitting a lot of votes for songs I don't know, just to get the names of the soundtracks. Upon reviewing my answers, I guessed Toaplan games for two Techno Soft ones. I got the composer right on #170, but the game wrong (it wasn't me ;)). Also, #175 is great. I've never heard the music to that game, but I'll have to check it out. |

I suck at this game...I'm accurate but I don't know much.
I got 167, 168, 172, 173 and 180. What's the hardest (based on points) song you've gotten correct? My high score is 6 on 3 songs (92, 103, 139). I wonder if they're picking any recent music (last 5 or so years)...the most recent music I've gotten right was from the mid-90s. |

0183, 0181, 0179, 0167, 0164 and 0161 this time. 173 also sounds very familiar (and very good) to me, so maybe I can search for it. Anyway, the 181 is going to give me some good points (6), so I hope to go up some positions ^^

Hey, thanks for letting me know GFF was back, darkcomet. :)
I did surprisingly well this time. I knew #161, 164, 166, 170, 172, 175, 179, 182, and 183. That's 23 points. I've heard 167 before, but I can't place it. I'd say 182 is the best song in this batch. |
Quote:
Oh, and I also got #014. That song's been bugging me since the beginning. And I was looking at the member list, and was wondering how Toma and ikkei had such a high attempt percentage (with a low correct percentage to boot). Now I know :D |
I only got a half-dozen. I'm 99% positive that I know the game series of this seventh track, but I don't know the exact installment, and I don't want to make any invalid guesses. Also, I've heard #166 before, but I don't know what it's from and it's going to drive me mad.
Double Post: Got #166. It was actually the first thing I thought of, but then I was like "nah, that can't be it". I checked some of the music on my HD, and it turns out it was. |
I suck at this quiz (only 42 points)... I guess that's what I get for never owning a sega system, except for Saturn.

still waiting for the activation email.... what's taking so long ?!?! |

|
it's ok now. I just got it.
and I... suck anyway..... I clicked the wrong "Guess" so I answered #50 instead of #51 -_- I'm waiting to see my score.. Double Post: got 79 woohoo. But for any others, forget about it. I'm pretty sure I don't even know those other games (or maybe just the name). So I guess it's my final score. |
Finally updated today with 14 new tracks. He said he tried to include some newer stuff, but so far it seems like a pretty normal update. I'm not doing too well with this one; only have 2 out of 7 right now. :-/
Argh, I've heard #194 but don't remember what it's from. #196 sounds familiar as well. Ended up getting #189, 191, and 197 right. I think my guess for 187 is right as well. Still have to figure out what 194 is. EDIT: Yay, my guess for 187 was indeed correct. So, 4 out of 14. :p |
Most of my points come from older tracks. ;_;
And proving that right, the only ones I got were #190 and #198. I swear I listened to #196 in the past few days, and good Lord is #194 familiar. Anyone who doesn't get #190 needs to be shot, by the way. CLASSIC |
Okay, this is an awesome bunch of tracks. I got 188, 191, 194, 197, and the godly 198. However, the tracks I don't know are pretty awesome.
Oh, and *gets shot* |
I just got 197 in record time. 2 notes. :P
198 I got CLOSE, but probably won't get the points for. I got one word right. ;_; Got 191 and 189 also... I dodged a bullet by guessing 190. =o |
Quote:
Quote:
Double Post: Got #194 finally; knew I'd heard it before. Still working on #196. |
Hi!
187, 189, 191, 194, 195, 197 for me. I found the 196 very familiar, and I nearly know the 188th one, but not sure which version it's. Quote:
|
ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW 197 FAILS AT LIFE.
*cough*CHz*cough* |
More like anyone who doesn't know 193 fails at life. That soundtrack is awesome.
|
I got the 188 and guessed the 60 :D
|
I went back to answer #14 and now I have more points than CHz :biggrin:
#193 I have a hunch, but I don't have the soundtrack, so I'm prolly gonna download it(them) to be sure. |
I just listened to a remix of #179 right now, so I went back and answered that one. Knew it was familiar~
Also, according to Mo0 and Kaleb, apparently I doubly fail at life. But we all knew this already. :( |
I fail at life too...because I've never heard of 197 in my life.
Those who haven't heard of 188 also fail at life. That only seems fair. |
i read that, and thought "hm, i didn't vote on 188." but then i remembered a song that was pretty much drilled into my head while playing a game......
|
I'm 90% sure I know what 188 is. I've never played the game, but I've listened to the soundtrack. I only kept three tracks from it, so I'll need to download the whole thing again and compare. ;)
|
meh, i put the wrong game, but i know it regardless
stupid stupid |
Yay for going back and getting old ones. I happened to listen to an arrangement of one of the songs I hadn't been sure about and then listened to all the VGMQ songs trying to find it. It was #37. +4 points! :p
|
There was a three-track mini-update, including a dreaded 9-pointer. The news post gives a cryptic warning, "Be careful with #0199."
I didn't get any of them, so I don't know what he meant by that. :( |
Didn't get any of them either. Too bad there were only three this week. :-/
|
Me neither. Well, I was fortunate to find the #113, I hope that I didn't fail in that.
|
There was a new update.
Just got the 202 and 209, and maybe can search for the 208. |
Quote:
|
Okay, I got 202, 208, and 210. 209 was like getting shot in 11 places.
|
I got #201, 208 and 209.
I also agree with DarkComet's assertion on #209...that one needs to be OLRed. |
Didn't get any of them yet again. :-/
|
Quote:
|
Really bloody annoying when you know one of the songs off by heart yet can't get the name. 166, how I loathe you.
Oh, add 189 to that too. |
HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT GET #196 UNTIL NOW
I KNEW I knew that stupid track. Goddammit. Also, the guy running it had a hard drive crash, so there won't be any updates for a while. :( |
There was a new update. It seems that there is lots of retro material this time :1zhelp: :tpg:
|
#213, #215, and #217 coming up for a small amount of points. For me, getting 30% of an update is pretty good. :(
#212 sounds sort of familiar; I'm probably thinking of a remix if I've heard it before. |
Got #215. I've heard 213 before, but I can't remember what it is. Perhaps it will come to me in time.
Man, 1/10. Not doing too well lately. :-/ |
Is this guy ever gunna give the answers out so I can finally know where some of these tracks are from?
|
Got 213 and 215. I KNOW 216 AND 218. Hopefully they'll come to me.
A lot of low values this time around. Pretty painful stuff. |
If you got 191 and 88, you're my hero.
If you got 92 and 41, you've played more games than I thought. XD If you got 41 you're awesome. If you got 67 I owe you MONEY. ^_^ But seriously I got virtually every PC game on there and I'm not even a PC player. And then when something came around with 6 points I knew it within the first .4 seconds, and when something came around with 2 points, I would stare like "wtf?" This is awesome. |
Update of five tracks.
They were neat, but I didn't get any. :( |
I only got the #225. At least I see that I'm not the worst :P
|
I only got #223, but I'm surprised I'm the only one so far, considering it's from the BEST GAME EVER.
|
I got #223 as well; didn't know the others.
|
Eep... my perfect Correct Ratio got ruined because I clicked on the wrong link to answer . . . ! D:
Ah well, at least I got two right. I'd be pleasantly surprised if anyone else guesses 224. |
I got 173 right IMO, but it was marked wrong. Sent the guy feedback, if he posts here and sees this send me a PM here if you wanna discuss, because its the only one I've gotten "wrong" so far, but it should be right ;)
|
Quote:
|
Another update... and no points for me! :superlativecry:
|
Sweet zombie Jesus, I absolutely, positively know #228.
Damn. I'm going to sleep in ten minutes, but this is going to keep me awake in bed all night. :( Double Post: Got it while I was brushing my teeth. Had to boot my computer back up. :( |
Finally, an update I'm good at.
Got #226(My favorite soundtrack of all time), #228, #229 and I KNOW #230 somewhere. It's gonna take me forever to find, but I WILL find it. #226 is from my favorite soundtrack of all time. EDIT: Okay, I got #230. If anyone else from here gets this, I will give them a million dollars. 4 out of 5... pretty good :) |
I got #226, but #228 is driving me nuts. I'm absolutely sure I've heard this piece many times, but I just can't place it.
|
Quote:
Well, I think I'm right anyway. |
And we've got ten new tracks. Got #231 (surprised it's a 4 pointer), might know #233 (sounds vaguely familiar, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm confusing it with another track), owned #235 hard, should probably know #237, and got #239 immediately since I totally just listened to a remix of it twenty minutes ago (but I just wiped my Last.fm last played list so NO CHEATS >=O).
11 points comin' up, which'll finally put me over 200. Seeing the people with more than 300 makes me cry. :( |
OCRJudges more liek OCRFGTS.
Also, wow, I'm really slipping behind on my score. But, to be fair, there are a handful of tracks I still haven't guessed on simply because I want to be 100% sure I'm correct, and thus need to verify. |
Wish I could listen to the new songs. I can't seem to figure out what my password for that site was; the computer it was saved on kind of crashed last week unfortunately.
|
Ten new tracks, FINALLY.
#241 eludes me. I thought #246 was from Alfred Chicken, initially, but I got it in the end. #249 is not worth three points. |
Sure it's not, but I'll take it ;)
Got 241, 244, and of course 249. I have a guess on 246 and I'm 99.999999...% sure I would be wrong just because the game is probably the single most popular game the original GB ever saw (well, other than Tetris) and a track from it would probably not be worth 4 points. |
Finally back on my computer, so I was able to download and listen to the songs. Didn't do well at all. Out of 25, I only got 5 of them - 228, 231, 239, 246, and 249.
|
Argh! I purposely guessed #245 wrong just to get the answer. I can see the level, I know it's an automatically scrolling level in a sidescroller of some sort, thats within another level with a slower version of that song being for the main level, and I'm pretty sure it's for Genesis. So frustrating. I believe the area its played in involves clouds, too.
|
10 new tracks today. I'm going through them now. I got 251 but don't know the next three.
EDIT: Got 256 as well. 254 sounds like a certain composer's work, but I'm not sure what game it would be from. Gotta do some digging. |
Ah ha, finally. Been getting antsy.
Too bad I didn't get any of them. :( |
#254 is on my ipod :)
#251 has a MAJOR hint as its fading out. But which one in the series is it? Edit: Checked NSFs, I got the wrong one in the series. #256 sounds like Iwadare's take on a certain FF song. (I have no clue what it is, so I'm just speculating) #257 also sounds Iwadare-ish, again no clue what it is or who REALLY composed it |
Let's see, this time I got 251, 252, 253 (helped that the music is the best thing about this particular game), 254, and 257, and also going back and filling in 230. Hopefully enough to get back in the top 5, but I'm fine if it's not.
|
Quote:
positively, WITHOUT A DOUBT, why I have to listen to the whole song before moving on. Luckily it's one of the soundtracks in the series I haven't heard, so I only feel 95% ashamed. |
Most embarassing update in a while. Got 251 and 256, which are pretty much giveaways once you listen.
|
Nothing like going back and getting more tracks. Never thought I'd see myself surpassing Kaleb. :D
So this is what first pagedom feels like. Eh, needs more saltwater taffy. EDIT: What the hell? 18th place? Man, people are ruthless. |
Update! There's a new grading system.
Quote:
#261 seems a bit familiar, although the series my gut is telling me it's from seems too well-known for six points. #262 and #269 are songs I should get. This quiz has taught me that I'm really rusty on my NES and GB music. :( #264 is from a fucking awesome soundtrack. #266 seems oddly familiar, although, if anything, it sounds more like repeated variations on the intro of a song I've heard before. And how is #268 possibly worth three points. Dead serious. |
Only got #268. Some of them sound familiar to me, but I can't remember what they're from. Man, my memory is horrible. :-/
|
Hi people. I signed up for these forums because I was looking for a place to talk to people about this quiz, and I found this thread through google. =D
I have one pending answer, but if that goes through, then I'll be at 202 points. I only got 262 and 268 out of the last ten, though. Most songs I can get if I've heard them before, but there are a few I've listened hundreds of times and can't remember the game for the life of me (like #60, ugh) |
Hi, Knight. Welcome to GFF. :)

Well, that explains the disgusting scores some people had. :(
Quote:
I scanned the member list and pulled names of people I recognized and looked like they've been participating at least somewhat recently. If you want your name included, let me know, and give me your VGMQ name in case it's different from your GFF name. Removals from the list will cost $5 or a polite request. |
I'm CCKenny on there
|
Man that Sonic Cult list has some , but I'm going to refrain from looking and play fair.
(Okay, I looked at the first one, but only because it was driving me insane. I won't submit it unless I happen to come across the answer in the future, fairly and by chance, of course.) Anyway, I haven't even participated in this for a while. Perhaps I'll get to it later this week. |
I saw the first one on that list posted, but I went and started playing video games to make myself forget it, and I have forgotten it now, thankfully. I'll bookmark that page though, just in case I ever want to find out.
I clicked CHz's link, and for some reason thought I was still reading the most current post. I got to the part of his post that was made months ago, and went, "Wow! 24 new tracks?!" :doh: |
Hi there!
I, too, was looking for a place to discuss the quiz. Thanks to those bastages from Sonic Cult forums, all the scores are gone and, well, my motivation to pass Megamatt is gone heh. Now I don't know if you want me to tag along because you may think that we cheated to have the scores that we have but I can swear to god that Megamatt is just a game music genious. I know him pretty well since we're both on the minibosses message board at theshizz.org. For my part, I've made non-stop reserch for those awnsers until the whole Sonic forum event occured. I must say that maybe 20% of my awnsers comes from friends of mine who wanted to help me to get the top spot of the quiz so I don't have any merit of doing the quiz alone. I'm really happy to see that the whole community of this board is lively and friendly and I sure hope that I can join you guys! :p Peace |
damn I'm so bad... 127 compared to 382.... at least I'm not the last O_o....
|
New track viewing modes are up
Also, check out DarkWolf' suggestion about creating groups. What do you guys think about that? |
Just noticed the update. I wish it would've been more tracks instead, and the sorting methods later. I haven't got any new songs in the past week.
A group for people would be a good idea, as we kind of have one going already. |
Yeah, I wish there were new tracks too, but the new sorting methods are kinda cool. I used them briefly to snag two tracks I passed by earlier (like #142... how could I POSSIBLY have not known that right away ;__;). I really need to go back through all the tracks again some time soon.
And I'm proud to say that I have guessed all four 1-pointers correctly! The 2's and above are another story. :( Regarding groups, I think they'd be a great idea; it'd be less maintenance than updating the first post, and the scores'd presumably be instantly updated. I filled out the feedback form saying that they're something I'd like to see, providing that he doesn't spend so much time implementing them that we go updateless for a long while. |
I went back and got one of the 2-pointers. I knew what series it was from; I just had to do some searching to find the specific title.
It's been awhile since he's updated with more songs. :-/ EDIT: Got a 3-pointer as well. 3 more points to 200! :p EDIT^2: Woohoo; got a 4-pointer (that I should've gotten the first time)! 201 now. |
Two tracks are driving me nuts right now...
#86 and #142...I'm not gonna sleep happy until I find em |
Wow, #65 brings back memories from long, long ago! Not surprised at how few of us know it, as it was and is a pretty obscure game. Great to see it up there though. :) Also, I seem to notice a rather unhealthy obsession with Sega Genesis music in this quiz. I mean, either that, or I just don't know my Genesis music worth diddly squat... which I don't. ;) Almost up to 100 points by now, which is sadly low, considering how much music I thought I knew by this point in my video gaming life. :( Tons of tracks that sound immensely familiar to me, but I'm just the slightest breadth away from having the game titles click in my brain.
#22! My introduction to shareware games as a young kid of 11 or 12, and what a great game it was too. I was actually hoping this game's music popped up somewhere in the quiz... and there it was! :) ~Jockolantern~ |
Bleh, I don't know the awnser to those heh
Yeah, there's a big amount of sega games on that quiz. When I realized that, i've made a huge GYM file reserch and well...look at my points. I never played half of those games but still, I found em heh. Maybe I have too much time on my hands... |
Hey, I know one of those two tracks you mentioned, Sequel Boy. But not the other three recently mentioned.
I too, noticed the large amount of Sega Genesis songs. There are also a decent number of Master System songs too. I'm really unfamiliar with most Sega games, unfortunately, so I don't know what to look through to find a bunch of these. |
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you two. I never owned a Sega system growing up; I only just got a Genesis in the past year. So, that's my main weakness.
|
384 points here personally, having just put in 262, 264, 267, and 268. I'm 95% sure I know 265, but I'd like to be certain before I put that 100% correct in jeopardy.
And there's cheaters now? Lousy dinks. EDIT: Whoops, 398. Forgot to put in the ones the Best Song Contest helped me out with. |
Going back is fun. I got #16, #163, and #189, upping my score to 300. Excellent.
I don't really think there is much of a bias torwards the Genesis particularly; perhaps you guys's lack of knowledge of the system makes it seem that way? |
Well, compared to songs from Nintendo games that seemed just as well known to me, the Genesis ones have been worth less points. There are some games that I've never met a single person whose played it, and they've been worth 2 or 3 points.
Also, I wish he'd update with some more songs. It's been forever. =/ |
I see that some of you have 100% accuracy but is there someone like me who completely entered the wrong game even tho you knew the right awnser? It happenned to me for #195 and #97. It's like, you're 100% sure of your awnser and afterwards your all like ahhhhh &?$?%$/
|
5 new tracks have been added! I guessed for #271(:mad:), and #273(:tpg:). #272 seems pretty doable with a bit of intuition, I might be able to find it.
One thing, though, #271 is OBVIOUS, and it still says pending. What happened to the automated grading system? I can't get that wrong... EDIT: NVM got them right. Upped score to 304. EDIT2: Got #272. That was pretty easy. Anyone with a similar hunch, you're probably right. Up my score to 310. |
Got 271 and 273 (271 is my desktop picture =P)
272 I have a hunch on, but I'd have to look for a bit, and I KNOW 275, but I wanna check on that first. EDIT - yep, got 275 |
Got 271 and 273. I've heard 272 and 275, but I have to do some checking to be sure of what they are. I know who composed 272; I'm just not sure which game it's from.
EDIT: Yep, I was right on 272; up to 211 points. Now to find 275... |
Like there's any doubt on #271.
I think we at GFF have an unfair advantage as far as knowing the source of #272, even though it's one of the tracks from the game that HASN'T been spread around yet. #273 I know from a lol:tpg: remix. |

Random quessing gets me some garbage points, but I get some songs wrong because I was off by just a little on the game. I wish (and suggested) that you be allowed to reguess songs you were close on only one more time.
http://vgmq.garoux.net/?s=7&id=325 |
Okay
#271 - Finished that game on arcade last year at the university...free quarters ftw! #272 - Heard that somewhere for sure but I can't get my finger on it yet #273 - I have that game and it has been covered XX times #274 - I probably have a VGmix of that song somewhere on my pc...i'll have to check it out #275 - This has been remixed by one of the greatest VGM artist i know. 8 points it is! |

Track 1: In SotW Track 2: In SotW Track 3: In BSC Track 4: Here Track 5: Still unaccounted for. Someone needs to top us off already. :-/ I like how the tracks are all in chronological order too. :biggrin: |
Oh, duh, I am moron. I gave up looking for 272 too soon, because of all these crazy backwards hints. I did figure out the composer though, so I was able to get it now. And I also finally see this advantage, but it certainly didn't help me.
|
Quote:
|
Nooo! I went back to get an earlier song that I now know because of BSC, and I had already incorrectly guessed it awhile ago. Would've been worth 7 points. :-/

Hi folks,
I was only recently introduced to this awesome quiz about a month ago at another forum, and have been enjoying it ever since. By the time I was able to make it to the top 5, the top list was disabled (damn cheats!) Anyways, I thought I'd join the only active thread on this quiz I'm aware of. Edit: Here are my stats: vgmq.garoux.net/?s=7&id=1968 |
Quote:
|
Damn, it's been a while since I last checked in with VGM Quiz. I still suck at it though. Right now I'm going through the database and only guessing on the ones I KNOW, and I've been pretty successful so far, over 50 points with only 15 guesses.
I really need to brush up on my chiptune and Sega music though. Damn. If the contest ever ends, I really hope this guy releases a list of all the songs. Some of these rarer songs are hella cool. I'd guess at them to see what game they're from, but I don't want to hurt my average. :) |
Finally found #233 and #140
It's just awesome when you just play a random game and go: Hey, that's in the quiz! |
He's testing out the group scripts now, which is good news. If they work well, we can have the group up for us to keep track of everyone's scores. And then maybe we'll get some new songs! (Because really, the songs are the most important updates of all)
|
I started a group, so people who sign up for the trial can join it if they want. It doesn't look like I have any power to add arbitrary people to the group; you have to click "Join" yourself and then I approve you.
I messed up the GFF URL, though. :( |
Awesome!
Is it possible to enter more than one group? |
Finally got some new points today. It's only been like a month since I figured out a track, geez.
And it's been a long time since the guy updated, too. I want some new tracks. =( |
Definitely need new tracks. I hope DarkWolf gets around finishing those scripts and adds 10 or more tracks soon. Of course, you could always go back and try guessing older ones.
And what's up with #0004? No clue what that is til now, and it's only worth 2 and only 24/67 (35.82%) correct. Someting like that should be worth 4-5 points I think. |
I think some of the early tracks, he probably overestimated or underestimated the popularity of several games. Games he'd heard of a lot as a kid or maybe everyone in his neighborhood had growing up he would assume to be common, but they aren't really. I think a lot of the early point values were skewed towards Sega games being worth less, but the points seem to be fairly accurate now.
I'm more surprised tracks 64, 70, 71, and 200 still haven't been guessed by a single person. |
UPDATEUPDATEUPDATEUPDATEUPDATE
Five new tracks. Only got #277, but I feel like I listened to #276 yesterday. People should join the GFF group. I'm currently eating a granola bar. It seems like you might fuss like butterflies, thinking why? |
Finally, someone posted so I didn't have to double post!
Yes, free group joining is up, and I joined the GFF group. I got 277, 278, and 280. Though the answers for 278 and 280 are still pending, but they should be right, as I have those songs from both games to check and make sure I was right. |
Got 276 and 277, went back and filled in 269 and 128 (all but that last one are pending, but I'm pretty sure), but holy nutbunnies, I KNOW I've heard 278 before. 280 is familiar too, but not saying 'Hey! Listen!' the way 278 is.
Now how would this group thing work? People in a given group share their answers? If so, I will join any group that knows what the dammity HELL #82 is. |
Quote:
A group is just an automatically generated list of people's scores like the one I've been lackadaisically maintaining in the first post. |
I know 276 and 278 for sure. 280 is very familiar, but no title has sprung up yet.
And what the hell is 277 that everybody seems to be getting right? I admit I tend to get stumped easily on recent/more popular stuff. 82? It's a bit related to one of the other tracks on the quiz. |
Re: 276: Way to choose a version that barely sounds like any other version and have me listen to it about 50x before figuring out what it is.
|
Aw man, I only got #277 (of course). #280 sounds like something I should be able to guess based on the style, but I'm not sure. :-/
He should let someone else take over who can update more. :p |
Wow, I love 278 and 279, despite not knowing either of them. 279 reminds me of Persona 2. And I got 276, 277 and 280 this round. 275 is driving me mad, I know it's from a game that I have played a ton.
Also, I sent the request to join the GFF group. |

Thanks. I actually figured it out yesterday, judging by all the correct guesses from here, and went through some of the older stuff.*
That only leaves 279 now. Exactly the same scenario with the five previous tracks. *And I didn't want to input it as my score was looking sexy. =D |
Wow. 3 more tracks have been added, and this soon.
Got 282 (<3 this game) & 283 (easy), and I think I should be able to get the 281 with a bit of guesswork. |
Oh, dang, I just checked the site, and saw no update on the main page, so I left and came here. Whoops. To the new tracks!
283 is possibly the easiest one there now. 281, no clue. 282... I think I've heard this before? But I'm not sure. |
Wow, it's been a while since there was a 1 pointer.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA at 283. 282 is pending, and 281 hurts my face because I KNOW THIS ONE but I can't find it. EDIT: Got 281. Wow. WTF. |
Wow, that's creepy. I played a little of 281 just last night. I was halfway tempted to check other ROMs to make sure 283 wasn't one of the variants, but "1 point" kind of made it obvious it wouldn't be. Don't think I've heard 282 before, unfortunately.
|
WTF Draconis, how'd your score get so high?!? It's higher than Megamatt's!
Congratulations, man. EDIT: WTF Board 8 has a group :( |
Haha, YES. I LOVE #281, as well as the game it came from. Lots of good tunes there.
Haha, YES. I LOVE #282, as well as the game it came from. Lots of good tunes there. Haha, YES. I LOVE #283, but I don't really like the game it came from. :( |
Quote:
Though I wouldn't care about competing as much as I'd like to identify as many tracks correctly. |
Aw, man. I've heard 281, but I don't remember what it's from.
282, no clue. 283, duh. :p |
Whoo, got five new ones so far tonight, giving me 20 points and putting my score over 300. I finally looked into a few fairly popular games that I've never played, and it paid off.
Quote:
|
I know I've heard 281, but it sounded different when I heard it, so its probably multiplatform.
|
Quote:
I also wonder if anyone's tried answering with the completely different game. =O |
This update is sooo not for me....I only got 283 right so far :(

One new track! A five-pointer and from a truly kickass game.

Hah, 5 points? Everyone better get this one. EVERYONE.

|
Ehh... the game is overrated.
Got it anyway, the music is fantastic. |
Quote:
|
No clue what this new one is. =(
|
Got the new one and finally, FINALLY figured out what 224 was...I never knew there was a vocal version, and that's what threw me off.

Well, just rejoined GFF, and I'm OVERJOYED to see that this still exists, if in a significantly more organized form.
just registered, and started guessing, but I must be some kinda music idiot, since I don't recognize squat. Quick question: In the old thread, we pretty much just posted what music we wanted people to identify, is there any way to get a song of yours up there, or am I at the whim of someone else's music tastes? :D |
Quote:
Regarding your question, the latter is true; we basically just sit back and wait for the guy to update the site with new tracks. Sometimes it takes a while. :( |
I got a couple friends to join in the quiz, they already have half my score. I hope they don't pass me up. >_>
As such, I've been motivated to go get more points on old tracks, and I've managed to jump up two spots in the GFF group this past week. Still haven't found the most recent track though, but both my friends knew it. :( |
I got a couple of tracks the other day, through sheer luck, and one of them was worth 9 points. Now I got half of the 9-pointers (45 points!) figured out.
So, how many of those have you all guessed correctly? And I'm down to 70 tracks. =D |
Another of these new hidden track dealies.
I don't know it, but the refrain is SO familiar. I started looking for the song, and wound up just listening to Shatterhand because <3. There's also a new stat box on the right side of the page that shows the number of tracks, players, and guesses. Double Post: On the plus side, I did go back to get a 5-pointer that's been bugging me forever, #0013. How could I have passed that one by so many times. :( |
Finally got around to this. There are still several I have a RAGING CLUE about, but I want to keep up my 100% correct ratio, so I'm waiting until I get verification (i.e. downloading the soundtracks and flipping through them for the mystery track).
Also, some of my tracks are pending because I used the full game title. I'm so leet. |
Don't know the new track. :-/
|
I... don't know this new one off the top of my head. Maybe if I dig around for a while I'll be able to get it.
I went and downloaded a bunch of new music over the past two weeks, and got about 70 points worth of new scores so far this month, which puts me in 4th place in our group. |
Don't know the last one either. Sounds like some generic shop music or something. I'll have to look a bit into it.
And speaking of #0013, pure unadulterated <3! I even heard a fan piano arrange for it once, which was gorgeous. Way to go, TheKnightOfNee! |
You spoke too soon, Draconis. =(
Ugh, I just got my first wrong answer. It stings like an deep wound. Stupid 199, sounded almost identical to stuff from another game, and I was too hasty to notice that the end of 199 is slightly different than the track I was listening to. AND OH, THERE IT IS, #97. If only I had started looking for it on the other end. >_< |
Damn, I jinxed you. =s
Yeah, those two have pretty similar intros. Funny there was something about it on the site, and this post back on page 2. No matter, I think you got the right idea now. Keep at it. And going through some of the older posts, I doubly "fail at life" for not knowing either #0193 or #0197. The latter sounds pretty awesome though. |
Yeah, I remember seeing that post months back, now that I fell for the same trick. That's what got the most, the fact that I knew in the back of my mind to watch out for it.
I probably wasn't going to get #199 for a long while anyways though, so it's not like I got something wrong I was on the verge of finding, at least. And wow, you don't know 197? 193 I don't know either... |
Not only are there three new tracks, but they're tracks that were announced on the front page!
I didn't get any of them, though. :( |
Hmm...he said one of those is from a recent game that he bought, but they all sound older. Maybe it's from a DS/PSP game.
I didn't know any of them, btw. :-/ |
Awesome!
Got #0287 from this new batch (hah what an intro!) #0286 is gonna drive me nuts, as I think I've heard it before. I suppose #0288 would be from the recent game he's talking about. And I did get #0285 earlier (my initial guess was off) and it has some connection with another recently added track. |
Quote:
|
I haven't got any of these new three. And ugh, recently added games? I've probably only bought three games that have come out within the past three years, as I'm typically behind a couple years on most games. I won't be getting that one for a while.
I did get number 180 though, putting me up to 450 points... which still isn't even halfway to Draconis. Geez. |
Bumping this to drum up some more interest (come on group Gamingforce, start racking up those points!!!), and to congratulate TheKnightOfNee on his magnificent climb to the #3 spot (and for getting his first 9-pointer).
Congratulations! =) |
Bah, 9-pointers. >:(
The highest valued ones I have are four 7-pointers: numbers 12, 50, 81, and 86. I swear #81 was worth 8 points when I answered it, though. :( ::waits impatiently for an update:: |
A week ago, I hit both 500 points and got that 9 pointer in the same day. I wanted to post about it, but I was already the last post at the time.
I was actually really surprised that one was a 9 pointer, because the means by which I had found it was the same as a handful of other tracks. But seeing as #10 only had a 15% success rate, I guess there must be a reason it's a 9. And for some reason I still don't have any of those pesky 8's. Or that stupid 161, how is that crap only 1 point? |
Just broke 200 (201 to be exact.) A couple of Sega ones were there, and I guessed totally at random and got them. One was a very low pointer and sounded like Sega Master Syetem synth, so I literally guessed one of the pack-in games with that system and it was right.
|
Quote:
I'm still pulling my hair over #286. Add to that #86, since I've started the quiz. Now where did I hear that before?! =/ Incidentally, I have 4 tracks left unsolved in each of those 7, 8 & 9-pointers. What about the least popular tracks you've guessed? I'm like one of three persons to get both #30 & #250 right, which aren't that obscure if you ask me... |
The least popular track I've guessed correctly is... #86! =O
I wish I knew who the composer to that game was, because the soundtrack is awesome. :( #72 is the only other track I've guessed correctly that less than 20 people total have gotten. |
Number 72 has only 6 correct guesses, and that's the least guessed one that I have.
72, 105, 61, 242, 10, and 151 are all the ones that have single digit correct guesses that I have. Number 14 is the most guessed one that I don't know. |
For a good long time, I was apparently the only guy who knew #30...the number of correct guesses is up to three now though, so I don't feel quite so geeky for knowing it.
Hmmm...other ones: 2 others know 227, 5 others know 230, 7 others know 224, 10 others know numbers 3 and 208, 14 others know 269, 18 others know 276, and 20 others know 272 (and most from here, I'd wager). All told, not bad. EDIT: Following Draconis' and TheKnightOfNee's example, I'll add that the most popular ones that elude me are 172, 17, and 33. Curse them. DOUBLE EDIT: Hail Draconis, fellow #30 guesser. |
Quote:
We #30 guessers rule! *wonders who the 3rd mystery guesser is* Quote:
Track I wish I knew what it was, because it rawks and I want the complete track: #234! |
So, I finally got #161, the last one pointer. And I could've sworn to god I had already guessed that game for another song. Regardless of if it did or not, I feel like banging my head on something for having not figured this out until now.
Anyways, that 1 point puts me exactly 100 behind sequel_boy. Does he still even come around here anymore? |
Just got the easiest of the bunch for now. The rest sound eerily familiar. I can say for certain I've heard 289 before, but where from is an entirely different matter. More stuff to ponder over. >_< |
Hey it's been a while.
Got 290 (surprised it's 8 points, but not complaining), and 291 (remarkable soundtrack for it's time). I guess the lack of updates, or perhaps lack of announced updates is reducing my interest for some reason. I found a song I remember in the quiz, but I haven't gone back to even look for it yet. |
Got the obvious one. I know I've heard 289 before, so I should be able to find it soon. 290 also sounds familiar, but I have no idea where to look.
Also, congrats to Draconis for finally getting above 1000 points! EDIT - Got number 289. Well, it's pending, but I know I got it. |
Wow, I know 292. I'm proud of myself for remembering that one. :D
Wooooo for 290. I was considering nominating that track for SotW awhile back. So awesome. No idea what 289 or 291 are. Still, 2/4, and 15 points between them, that's gotta be a record for me. :p And same here, dc72. There are at least two I should go back to get sometime. What was the "easiest one," Draconis? |
Like Drakken, I've got no clue on 289 and 291. 291 seems very slightly familiar, but nowhere near familiar enough to place it.
I totally know 290, but I gotta go rooting for it. 292 is awesome. I think I know why Drakken got it, but the version I'm thinking he's thinking of is actually from the sequel (compare the synths). |
Quote:
Also got 290 figured (wow, that was quite easy for 8 points!). 289, 289, 289... the one track I was most familiar, I knew the notes beforehand whilst listening to it, and I'm sill clueless. |
A couple months after finally getting a 9 pointer, I finally got my first 8 pointer today. Number 177. Looking at a list of games to listen to the music from, I almost passed over that based on the name. I'm glad I didn't.
|
Argh, 290 is SO familiar. I know I've played that, or at least listened to the music. Maybe it'll come up in the Chiptune contest. For some reason I'm thinking Falcom.
Edit: Got it! I remember I got this soundtrack from a link in Drakken's sig a while back. |
Yeah, that pretty much gave it away. =)
I should know 289, but I still don't =( Anyone kind enough to drop me whatever hint? And it's funny how I discovered 100 only recently. What an awesome soundtrack! Nice, TheKnightOfNee. |
Arg, I got another one wrong. But I believe this one to honestly be the same song, just in a port, so I've e-mailed him, and hopefully he overturns it. It's only got a 50% correct rate, so I'm guessing others have made the same guess as me.
|
Just got a healthy dose of points through playing Sega Genesis Collection to death (I KNEW I knew 245, and I'm fairly disgusted it took that long to figure out). Also got some monkeys off my back - 278 clicked quite suddenly, and 91 showed up in another guess-this-tune contest that ended recently. At any rate, I finally cleared 500 points! Woohoo!
P.S. Hmm...a vague hint for 289? Try to search for games with real-life locations as opposed to fantasy worlds. |
Thanks. Still drawing a blank, though it should help narrow things down.
Quote:
|
Sad how they haven't updated this in a while. I NEED MY FIX MAN.
|
Jesus Christ, KnightOfNee, everytime I frantically search for a good awnser, you go and find one too and take back the lead from me.
You're gonna make me go nuts heh |
You've been doing the exact same thing. Every time I find a new track, I look at the standings, and you somehow just leaped back over me. Well, I'm back in the lead for now. (Well not really, Draconis has way too many points still)
|
UUUgh! Again? :p
Well...back to super reserch then :) |
Ah, I just started. I'm only at 27 - I'm not too good at this. :(
I missed a couple easy ones, as well, like (I'm embarrassed...) #15. I guessed the wrong game in the series. |
hay guys lol
The quiz is back, revamped and with mostly new content. I didn't have time to go through it all, but it looks swell. Have fun! |
Oh, wow.
Is all the old stuff still there? I like how I checked it nearly every day since the last posts in this topic, waiting for new content, but I haven't checked it this whole weekend. |
Quote:
The song database has been reset as well; there were around 10 or so when I just ran through them quickly just now. I'm pretty sure one of them was also in the first version of VGMQ, but the others weren't. Your old VGMQ score is in your profile, though. |
Yeah, I see now. And augh, one of the repeats I couldn't get before, why is it back now?
Hopefully he re-uses all of the old ones eventually, I'd love to still figure out just what they were from. And congrats Draconis, you finished the old version first overall in score. I ended up finishing in 8th place. |
Cool, but I seriously hope nobody will post the answers and allow people to cheat like it happened last time. This really turned me off...
|
Quote:
Yeah, I also liked the old way, but I think DarkWolf went with this randomness in order to deter anybody trying to cheat. Hopefully, there won't be any cheating this time around, or at least it won't be easy, as I think the track order and numbering is different for each & every account. And cheers, TKON. We should still be able to stay up there somewhere. Quote:
|
He finally set it up so you can look back at your own answers. And for those who didn't notice, you can jump to any track if you save the ID number, which is good for people like me and CHz who figure it out at a later time.
Also, 8 new tracks today. I managed to figure out 7 of them (though 2 are still pending, but I'm sure it's because I typed up the titles a bit out of the ordinary). I wish every update went like this. |
Yeah, that was a nice song update. I got five of them, and the other three rank from vaguely familiar to man I totally know this one.
I like that the answer list is back. I have a couple answers pending, and I noticed that it shows my answers and the official answers for those also. Did it always do that? I thought that, in the previous quiz, it wouldn't show the answer until it was actually graded. The skip-to-track feature is also nice. I've already used it once. :o |
I got all 8! If all updates went like this, I wouldn't have bald spots! =P
Quote:
And that skip-to-track-thingamajig is sure handy. |
Eight new tracks!
Quote:
Got two of them. I expect everyone to get at least one, because it's dead easy. There's a third one that I'm absolutely positive I've heard before, but none of my hunches came through, so I'm going to have to do some digging. |
I got two of this set of obscure ones. One, I'm sure most everyone here will know, and the other one is just a different segment of a song he used in the original quiz.
There's a third familiar one for me too, but I have no idea where to start looking and don't feel like digging just yet. |
Man I know like none of the obscure tracks up there currently. Sounds like they came from PC and/or pre-NES systems; both of which I have very limited experience with.
By the way, does anyone have a list of all of the answers from the old quiz? I still some mps3 left over from it that I like but don't know what games they came from, and I'd like to be able to check out the soundtracks. |
This set ain't easy. I managed to guess the same two CHz and TheKnightOfNee probably got, in addition to one from an oldie PC game.
I also have the mp3s for the old quiz, and the answers for the 245 tracks I got from the original 292. We could try to compile a full list as I, too, would like to know the answers for some. But I am not sure whether that would be a good idea, as some of the old material is still in use in the new quiz, and more is likely to be added. |
Eight new songs added today, and he claims that they're a little easier than the last set. I will confirm this, as I got five of them.
|
Cool! Yeah, some are definitely (too) easy, but there's still half of the batch that left me clueless.
|
I also got 5 in this last set (and probably the same 5 as CHz), and there's a sixth that sounds kinda familiar.
|
Nice bunch, if a bit on the easy side. 7/8 for me. Didn't know the piano one. I am never good with piano tunes.
|
hey guys. since this is really the only good place on the internet for VGMQ discussion, i figured i should go ahead and join.
the last update was pretty nice, and i got 6/7 of the new tracks. it was enough to bump me up to 1st, but i'm sure Draconis will put me back in my place as soon as he sees that there's an update also, i had a question for you, Draconis Quote:
|
Hello, megamatt. For what do we owe this honor? =)
Regarding the old quiz, I could upload them for you, no problem, if you have some space/ftp/something you could provide me with (just PM me the details). Nice seeing you here. I hope you can stick around. Now, to tackle those recent tracks... |
I could throw all the old samples on my site if you guys want.
I only got one track on this update :( |
I missed this game so much, I'm glad it's back.
I'm going through some of them now, and I can say I was pleasantly surprised when I nailed #4352. |
I'm not even going to wait for a response. I'll leave this up for a while.
Video Game Music Quiz 1st Edition Got another song while I was doing all that too. |
thank you, good sir. this is much appreciated
|
I will also thank you for that. I only had unguessed tracks from the original quiz saved, but I of course had forgotten some I guessed before. I'm gonna go through and label all the ones I know so I don't forget again.
|
Hey guys! Long time no see
It's really awesome that the quiz is back...really awesome that megamatt is here also! Hopefully, the updates will come more frequently!! As for the last update, I only got 3 ... and there awe two other that are driving me crazy...:( |
It's been a couple months, but the site has finally been updated again. There are a whole load of new tracks up. A good number of them are from the old site, but there are some new ones too. He also says the site is nearly ready for user uploads, so hopefully that will come soon and isn't several months off still.
|
Thanks for the heads up. User uploads? I've actually wanted that since the old quiz, so here's hoping.
|
Another 4 songs have been put up today. Nice to see we didn't have to wait 3 months again.
|
another big update today. looks he's planning to get a ton of the old tracks back up, so now's your chance to get major points
|
I think I did good with these last couple of updates. Although I would prefer brand new tracks, I'm not really complaining. Looks like DW's updating more frequently now, which is nice. And unlike the old site, there are some repeat games which could make things a little trickier. There were a few times when I thought "Didn't I guess that game before?" as I was going through the new ones.
|
haha, yeah. i was really reluctant to answer the first repeat game i came across. i was afraid it was going to be a trick or something
|
He updated again recently, and he says all the old tracks should be up now. Which means the most recent update is around 100 songs, for those of you keeping track.
And hopefully, we get more new stuff in the future. |
He says all the old songs are up, but he still has another 60 or 70 from the old quiz that haven't come up. Makes me wonder if he actually intends to put them up.
It was fun getting 60ish correct guesses in one day though. |
Been a while.
My score just jumped a whopping 110 points, haha, and I think I could add 3-4 to that later, but still... he keeps adding the ones I still don't know, and the few I found out the answers for after the quiz reset are nowhere to be found. Why? =/ |
|
I sent the guy an e-mail so I can start adding tracks a couple days ago, I hope I get access soon. I'm so glad he finally set it so other people can help him with the running of the site, it'll get some much needed activity increase.
|
HUEG update. Easy points. Stop slacking. Get to it.
Spoiler:
|
Good to see you guys posting new tracks!
Guess I got rusty, parts of my VGM memory are starting to fade away, albeit I'm pretty sure I haven't heard many of these before. But I still got a few good answers, so hey, that's not too bad. Looking forward to the next update! |
Draconis used one of my songs :mad:
And I only got 8 on my first listen, though a few others are very familiar. EDIT: Got 2 more. Well, I've got about 100 songs all ready to upload, but I figure I'll stagger em, putting up just a few each weekend. So maybe tomorrow I'll throw a few more up there. |
Hah, my bad. Which one was it? Nice job getting 10 at least.
I just went through you guys' updates, and I didn't get a whole lot either. Good music though. Needs more retro. =) And new tracks a weekend sounds great to me. I'll post a batch whenever there's a lull or something. |
#61460
Exact song I planned to use, but that's cool. That song was my favourite part of the whole game. EDIT Oh, looks like someone else uploaded some songs today. THERE ARE SO MANY SONGS! |
Hello!
EDIT: Nee tells me that one word posts are a bad idea, sorry. :( |
Ah, hello! I got half your songs.
You guys are ruining my completion percentage. I was almost up to 66% and now I'm under 60%. |
awww yeah vgmq brethren
Probably gonna add ten more or so sometime soon. |
There, I finally got things going for me. Five more tracks uploaded. I would've put up more, but a certain Draconis took two other songs I had planned to put up.
|
Ed Bellis used another one of my songs, neat. #4119
|
Heh, nice. I'm not sure which number that is, though - what's the RID?
|
Yeah, I think the numbers are unique for each user, so going by the RID would work.
By the way, I've asked DarkWolf about grading any pending guesses on our tracks at least. He said he will look into it sometime. Nice tracks, Nee, Ed, everyone. ACHTUNG:
|
Quote:
I thought about signing up to do tracks but I'd probably just end up doing one batch and never getting around to another one. |
It would be nice to be able to grade what we put up.
I've been working on making more, I'm just going to put up a few at a time so I don't run through my resources right away. Naturally, I want to put up as much as I can, but we need to leave ourselves some room to work with in the future too. |
I was thinking that maybe we could come up come kind of schedule so we don't all put up tracks on the same day. Just to space things out a bit. I know I was planning on putting up a few every Friday, but I guess it depends on what days are best for everyone.
|
I suppose everyone will find their own rhythm with updating, like some who are going by the weekends. Though if you really want to work out a schedule, I wouldn't mind.
There are some new tracks, by the way. Have fun! |
Thanks to DarkWolf, each of us can now grade all pending answers for their respective tracks. I just went through all of mine, and they were a good few. And there was this one guy you'll love to hate. I also expect a few incorrect ones now. :(
Ed took 457 right from under my nose. I had that exact one prepared for my next batch, which should be up soonish. Nice work. |
Oh man, grading through these is already the best part about this. It's really interesting to see what some people put when they're wrong. One in particular really made me laugh. I'd post it here, but then that would giving away the answer, and I can't do that.
I've been sitting on a few songs for a little while now, but haven't uploaded them yet. It's mostly because I discovered one of the songs comes from a game that has a billion names and I don't want to put them all in. But now that have grading abilities, that should make things easier. |
Lokishade is one strange fellow. He must just put in anything when he doesn't know the answer. Some of his guesses are pretty out there.
Video Game Music Quiz Hopefully I'll upload another batch this weekend. |
