Video Game Music Quiz

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)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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:

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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 was speaking idiomatically.

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

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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 remix.

Yeah, my hunch resulted in nothing for me on 272. I wish I knew what this unfair advantage we had was.

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

BSC has been good in the regard that I've found a couple tracks through it that I may not have known about. The bad side of it is, I've downloaded some music, and I've heard some songs I recognize. I then spend an hour looking for them on vgmq, before realizing I only recognized them because of the BSC.

How ya doing, buddy?

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)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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. =(

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

Elaborate on your opinion on this.

FELIPE NO

I also wonder if anyone's tried answering with the completely different game. =O

There was a similar situation with another track. I think #122 was a faster version of a song from another game. I wonder what would've happened if anyone guessed the game the tune originally came from.

Most amazing jew boots

No clue what this new one is. =(

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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. >_<

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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...

I was speaking idiomatically.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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?

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
