    I knew I'd played 17, but I never once considered that game, so I'm happy.  13 is a million miles away from where I was in my head, and I don't think I played it enough to remember any music (just remember liking Jaunty).  Thought I'd cracked it with World of Goo :)
  • 13 was too obscure in retrospect, but it's such a fucked up piece of music I thought someone else may have remembered it. The drilling and child screaming bit has clearly stayed with me.
  • I'm all for the occasional obscure choice to balance the difficulty, was a good quiz.
  • I haven't played most of them, so I did unsurprisingly badly. Astounded that I didn't get number 2 and I knew 15 was familiar but just couldn't place it.
  • Haha fucking 2, jesus, one of my favorite games of last gen and I ballsed it. No idea why I thought I knew 3, I only played that on the Mega Drive. Really enjoyed been on the other side of it. Though I'm 90% way through another one and I've had to scrub Pokemon off, so CHEERS MATE :). Great stuff.

    I'll ensure my third one (and last for a while, I'm having balancing issues without making it stupidly obvious) doesn't go up too quickly, I'll pop it up next week. Don't want to burn everyone out.
  • It was nobody getting R-Type that surprised me. I even thought about cutting off the little intro bit because I thought it was such a giveaway.

    Anyway, I enjoyed doing it, and wouldn't mind doing another somewhere down the line. If I can think of another 20 memorable tunes.
  • Yeah it gets canny hard, I'm trying to steer away from repeating game series
  • No idea why I didn't get 12. Played that so much back in the day. 

    I now want to play Wild Arms after hearing that music.
    I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.

    Thanks for that, Jon. Hadn't played any of the ones I didn't get so I'm happy with that.

    It'd be very dated now I'd imagine, in terms of the RPG mechanics. Best just watch the intro on YT.
  • Hello Lads and significantly fewer lasses, here is my last one for a bit, once again PM me the answers I'll leave it up for about a week. Why don't you have a blast? It's a bit easier than the others.

    There's nothing too obscure on here, so hopefully it will be high-score galore.

    HAPPY LISTENING COMRADES



    Obviously after this is done others are free to chip in with their own conundrums (would be nice if you could leave horror stuff alone so I can do me Halloween Special in October)
  • The pic for number 9 is the best so far.  19 sounds like a cheaply made 80s Aussie TV drama. 

    Also, this one is harder than the others.  FYI.
  • 6 and 18 are the only ones I recognise instantly.

    A few others sound familiar, but most I just don't know at all.
  • Just 12, 13 and 16 for me. I'm not very good at this.
  • Erm. I only recognised 7, 8, and 11. Maybe 19. 

    This is the hardest yet.
    I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.
  • Top Score so far is 4. Collaboratively you've done well. If your answers are right
  • Extra kudos points for the timely thread name change.

    Should have got these really, have played and completed them all.

    7! R-Type! That really done my head in. Don't know why I thought I knew 3, never played it.

  • 1,3,4,5,9,12,14,15,17 remain to be snapped up by anyone.
  • A new challenger has entered the fray and snapped up numbers 1 and 14
  • Its clue-ageddon time

    3,4,5,9,12,15,17 remain, and in this rowdy bunch are 2 RPG's, a beat'em up, an adventure game, 2 FPS's, and a scrolling shooter
  • 12 seems so familiar. Seems like something I've heard a lot. But I'm not going to go looking for it, seeing as I've already stumbled across one of the others accidentally by going on Youtube.
  • If the penny doesn't drop for 1 and 12, I can't see myself getting any more.
  • Just listened to all again and 9 and 15 so familiar.
