The Music/Picture Quiz Winter Wonderland Special - It's finally all over!
‹ Previous1234
  • A one-off special edition of the Dogfingers music quiz, which I've put here so I can update the OP and thread title regularly.

    The theme is Winter, so think snow and ice levels, games that have a general wintery setting, or tunes that just sound wintery or Christmassy. Each tune is accompanied by a partial screenshot from the game, often (but not always) from the exact part of the game the tune is used in.

    There will be 3 bits to this quiz, each progressively harder than the last. The first one should be easy enough, especially with the picture clues to help. Each stage has 10 tunes plus at least one 'bonus'. There'll be a winner for each stage, and an overall winner based on accumulated score over all 3 stages.

    As usual then, watch the vid, identify the games and PM me the answers (don't give away answers in the thread). Each answer is 2 points, or if you get the right series but wrong game in the series you get 1 point. After a few days I'll put up extra clues, then it's 1 point for a correct answer and 0.5 for right series but wrong game. I'm going to be fairly strict about getting the right game in the series because the pictures are major clues in some cases, but you can always have 1 more guess to get the extra point (or half point). Each stage will be up for 5 days before we move on to the next.

    Bonuses are a bit different. You can only have 1 guess at a bonus and there will be no extra clues for it. But you get double points if you get them right (4 if it's the right game, 2 if it's just the right series).


    Stage 3: Hard

    The games are still mostly quite well known (well, you should have heard of them at least), although there are a few obscure ones. I've tried to leave a bit more of the pictures in some.







    Stage 2: Medium

    Unsurprisingly it's a bit tougher this time. These are still well known games, but not quite the mega franchises of the first round. A few should still be quite obvious still.

    Skerret's posting is ok to trip balls to and read just to experience the ambience but don't expect any content.

    Ah, I knew I forgot something. Was going to say that it's not Outrun in the OP.

  • It couldn't be, could it? The music's far too summery in Outrun.

    When you said winter, one 16 bit game sprang rapidly to mind, glad to see you included it, am tempted to go and listen to the soundtrack now

  • FFS I couldn't get any, and just got confused by the one that sounded like Robocop.

    The tunes themselves aren't necessarily the most memorable in the games they're from. But with this one at least most of the games are big franchises. Combine that knowledge with the pics and it should be possible to guess a few.
  • I may have 7 of 10. Bonus is really bugging me!!!
    I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.

  • Sent mine in, that was harder than expected! Got a few, the rest were stabs in the dark
    Not everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff.
  • Pretty accurate stabs, mostly.

    Some good scores coming in.
  • How long to still try and have first guesses?

    3 and bonus are bugging me. Haven't got a clue about 2 but I might have a stab.
    I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.
  • No clues till Sunday morning.
  • Ok ta
    I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.
  • I think I'll leave clues to Sunday evening actually, since I won't have time before. So a bit longer if anyone wants to enter this round or have further guesses.
  • Yesssss! I will be listening tomorrow morning/noon. No time tonight.
    I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.
  • OK, clues. 2 for each from 4 categories: year of release, original format(s), publisher, and genre.

    It's half points now. I've decided to keep the bonus open to the end, and it's still worth 4 points, but no clues for it and you still only get 1 try.

    I'll put the answers up early Tuesday morning, so you can keep guessing till then.
  • Oh, sorry @Dogfingers. I was wondering if you were around. I was trying to make each round last 5 days this time because they're shorter.

    Still, have a go anyway. Have you looked at the clues? If not, I don't mind counting your first guesses at full points.
  • Right, answers:

    1. Zelda: Ocarina of Time

    2. CoD: Modern Warfare 2

    3. James Pond 2: Robocod

    4. The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

    5. Super Mario Galaxy 2

    6. Tomb Raider

    7. Metroid Prime

    8. Street Fighter IV

    9. Dark Souls

    10. Super Mario Bros. 3/Mario All-stars
     
    Bonus: Uncharted 2

    I got more than I thought.  I know and have played all those though, so my mind must be going.

  • WOOOO! 4 th. Happy with that
    Not everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff.
  • Fuck my life. I thought of Uncharted 2 for the bonus but then changed my guess to Broken Dragon.
    I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.
  • Broken Sword even. I didn't think Drake was so far in the screen, isn't camera usually just behind his back?

    Kicking myself cos I could've had max points. I didn't guess CoD when I thought it was that, until clue went up. :(
