Hey, you! Yes, YOU! Do you love video game music? Do you love bass? Do you love bass tracks in video game music? If you shouted YES at all these, you might be a bad enough dude to take this GNARLY QUIZ!! It's simple:
  • Here are 30 NES tracks in MP3 format with only the bass channel;
  • Here are 30 SNES tracks in MP3 format with only the bass channel;
  • Search your head and/or VGM collection for the correct games these tracks are from;
  • Write down your answers here for NES and here for SNES;
  • Be awesome and/or appreciate the beauty of bass in VGM!
No prize and nothing's official so I won't send hitmen if tracks/answers are discussed, but let's keep it fun and let others guess too. Share with other communities if you'd like, I will soon do the same! Additional info:
  • SNES might be easier since bass samples are sometimes easily recognized.
  • Since channels aren't as "dedicated" to bass for the SNES, there are sometimes other sounds / samples used by the same channel as the bass. I've replaced (most of) those with silence.
  • I've trimmed the tracks' beginning only, and only if it began with a silence.
  • Results will be made public most likely before November, depending on the number of daily responses I keep getting.
  • Yes, I was kinda inspired by tompa's post :)
Have fun!

Arg, it's hard... I'm more about melody, so the bass tracks alone are a real challenge. I only have 2 of them...

I immediately recognized many of the SNES ones, but most of the NES ones are from games I haven't played.

I hadn't read the fine print. Will be looking for the results in November.

You're not alone! Most people also had a much easier time with the NES.

Wow, this was tough! Most of my guesses were wrong, but I did get two: NES 25 and SNES 18, happy about getting the latter especially since I like that song!
