That's right, I decided to upload a small quiz contest thing on my site for everyone to try. -link gone- Basically, you download a music file containing 10 songs, guess what game they come from and then answer 10 questions about the games and then send all this information to me privately through the Forum Inboxes or Email. Good Luck to those who're trying this out. :) And I have no idea if this thing is allowed. If not, it can be removed. :/

I couldn't decipher much from that, but it sure was the funniest thing I listened in a while. :D

File found. I will make it easy for you and score my own answers: 0 points. I thought I would rule at this. :(

I think I recognized the tune from the "Press Start" screen of the game (possible spoiler shrunken for your protection) Metroid. Maybe. I wouldn't bet much money on that, though.

Erm, Alright, let's try this again. I uploaded a improved version of that mp3. You won't hear a horrible person singing anymore. :)

Unfortunately, you lost all the money. Don't go past Start (and stuff. I suck at Monopoly). Just go download the new mp3 and you might get better results.

I did get better results. Now I'm 100% certain that I don't recognize any of the songs. :P

I must be really good because I recognized 3 of those tunes. (1, 2 and 6) Yay! I score three points! Edit: 501st post, woohoo!

That's actually good. So far, people only got #5 or #6 correct, but not too many (2 people right now). If you can/want, send your answers (those you can) and you'll appear on the Players List.

Oh, crud, the questions on Iriasu's site aren't just "Name That Tune"... You have to come up with game trivia related to the tune. Well that's just craziness.

It can't get anymore 1337 than that, I'm afraid. Some are good at tool-assist movies and some are good at game music. :)

You get a point for just naming that tune. You also get a second point by answering the other question.

I got one now too. And it wasn't 1, 2 or 6.

Yeah, I recognized the music from 2 4 6 and 7, and 8 is familiar, but the trivia stuff I can't be bothered with.

I could hint you that a regular Google or Wiki search usually helps, especially if you know the game titles.

Oh, sure, but that would involve not being lazy ;)

I recognise 1 and 2 but I can't name the games... and 5 as well, and I'm pretty sure I know 8 but I'm going to need to check my soundtracks. And I recognise 9 and 10 as well but still no names ;_; The others I can honestly say I've not heard before, but these I'm pretty sure I have so I need to scour the soundtracks of the games I think they're from and see what turns up. So, current self-estimating score is 2 for both answers to #8, but I think I can do better (or worse if my intuition is false).

And no.3 is in a SquareSoft game... go figure... Quiz #2 on thursday or friday will have a bit of Nintendo at least. :) EDIT: So, ready to answer yet before I begin with Quiz #2? EDIT: Quiz #002 is now available! -link gone- The questions and rules. -link gone- 2 links to the music file (left-click). The theme here is Nintendo (along with some minor tracks from other companies), so good luck!

Whoa I thought I would know at least a few and I only know 2 of the 20 tracks played. Difficultness!

Yay I recognize 4, which is probably much less than others. #2, 3, 6, and 8 are there. #6 was just mean to put in a quiz :P

Man, that 10th question bugs me. I'm absolutely certain there's a TAS of it in Nesvideos, but I don't know which game it's from. Are some of those remixes or are they from original soundtracks (or soundvoices etc.)?
Which run should I encode next? :)

Original soundtracks / Game rips only. No remixes ot soundvoices whatsoever.
