Video Game Music Quiz

http://vgmq.garoux.net/

For people not familiar with VGMQ from the pre-crash GFF, here's the capsule summary:

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

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

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've considered doing that, but there's always the chance that I'll listen to a soundtrack later on and remember one of the tracks from VGMQ; that's happened a couple of times. But not for the tracks that I really DO want full versions of.

I was speaking idiomatically.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've gotten four 7-pointers: #12, #50, #81, and #86. I could've sworn that one of those was worth 8, but I guess not.

Yes. I'm more familiar with the older stuff, so I don't have many examples to point to, but #111 and #140 are both 2001 games.

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hey, no problem.

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

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've only actually played two of the... seven maybe Sega games that I've gotten points for. There's definitely a major Nintendo bias in my answers, and I've got 153 points. From what I understand, the guy isn't trying to favor one system over another.

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
Check out my original music at my Soundcloud page!

Latest music rips (updated January 10, 2012):

SimCity DS - Jazz/ambient/electronic music including interesting reworkings of songs from the fantastic SimCity 3000 soundtrack
Cold Winter Original Game Music Score - Really cool; dark, full, emotional strings mixed with drums, piano, choir. Kind of like Furious Angels?

Play-Asia - Japanese CDs, game soundtracks, game imports, & more

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.

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

I got #60 in one melody note, assuming you don't count the bassline. Although you probably should.

Assuming the word you got right was the second one and not the first, you won't get any points, since the track didn't appear in the game I think you guessed.

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.

#193 I have a hunch, but I don't have the soundtrack, so I'm prolly gonna download it(them) to be sure.
