Empire's Retro Video Game Music Quiz

Recommended Posts

Just found this being shared by my friend on Facebook, and my god, I'm enjoying it.

 

There's 3 levels, with music from retro games and you have to guess the title. So far, I think I've done slightly good, but there's some pieces in there that I recognise but can't remember for the life of me!

 

Quiz is here

 

The ones I've got right without listing the answers:

Level 1: 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15

Level 2: 1, 3, 5, 7, 15

Level 3: Wow, that sucked. 1, 7 and 9.

Don't think this is for me, I only got 6 on Level 1! :p

 

Level 1: 3, 4, 8, 10, 13, 15

Level 2: 5, 7, 11

Level 3: ...

 

... and 13 tells you the answer itself! :heh:

Hahaha, that's exactly what I said to my mate who just took it now, 13 was on the list of games he couldn't guess

 

EDIT:

Youtube has informed me it is actually GAY BONERRR

 

 

Also, why didn't they include this?

I think I did OK:

 

Easy1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15

Medium: 1, 6, 7, 10, 11, 15

Hard: 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 15

 

I cheated a bit for Hard 9 - It sounded like a game that I've played, so I worked backwards in the series.

Whoever doesn't get Level 2/Medium #1, don't feel too bad. You may have missed out on an awesome game, but your ears have been speared from torture.

I just found it now and didn't do so well on lvl 2 and 3. But

level 1 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, whereas on

level 2 I only did 7 and 11 (I just hated how on 11 you were only able to get it right if you typed the second title).

I couldn't get any on lvl 3.

Some really nice pieces of music in there. Some I've no idea about but others make me want to know about the games they've come from. Really surprised at some of your guesses so far. Ye know some of these, I know for sure, you just don't recognise them or else ye can't place it to the game.

Level 1: 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15 (Though I'm sure I've heard 7 somewhere before)

Level 2: 1, 3, 6, 7, 11 (4, 12, 13 and 14 sound familiar)

Level 3: 4, 8 (2, 9, 10 and 15 sound very familiar)

 

Is there no way to check solutions? I want to know what are those familiar tunes I couldn't quite get.

1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15

1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 14

1, 4, 9, 10

Total: 22. After everyone's had a go, I think we should pool our resources and make of list of what's what. Some cool songs there I haven't heard before, wanna know what game they're from...

Level 3: 7, 8, 9, 10, 15

 

Whatever 2-9 is I need to know- funky as hell! There were a couple I thought I've heard but couldn't place.

 

Also, does anyone else think Star Fox's Corneria owes a great deal to 3-15? Both top tracks of course! :D

No wonder I didn't get Super Mario Kart. Never liked the series much

:heh:

 

Glad to see I was right about 9&10 from Level 3 sounding familiar, though

Aha! I have just found, there is a way to discover the answers it seems!

 

EDIT: But I've decided not to post them, I'd rather see the community effort here.

That's not 1-14, that's 2-14 :heh:

Woops! So it is :blush:

 

Actual 1-14 sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't even hazard a guess.

I'm still amused at how I knew 2-14, but before that had no idea it was from a video game. I listened to it and thought "Wait, isn't this 'The Tussin'?"
