Empire's Retro Video Game Music Quiz

mooonpie

Not sure if this is the right forum, but wasn't sure where would be a better fit (mods feel free to move )

One of the lads at work just sent this on to me, I must say I'm a bit disappointed with my progress so far:

I had a feeling you'd be getting the highest scores...

Retr0gamer

Well I do really like videogame music. A lot of the Amiga stuff had me stumped though and a few PC RPGs a really should play some time.

RobertFoster

Just a quick listen and I got 9, 3, and 2/15.

Metal Gear Solid

and

Tomb Raider

brought back good PS1 memories. Hard to believe we're nearly on the PS4 now.

YouSavedMyLife

Easy: 11/15
Hard: 2/15

Heard so many of the song but i just cannot place them. I think the reason Retr0 got so many right was because he might actually be playing through some of these games right now

penev10

Easy - 9
Medium - 1
Hard -1

4 on Hard is driving me nuts!

Varik

Easy 12/15, no idea about 13 or 14.

5 is on the tip of my tongue.

Anyone able to give a link to, or spoiler tag, a full list? There's some in there that I'd love to check out properly just it sucks not being able to see the name :P

If you want the answers

Just view the page source code and you'll see the answers in there

BlitzKrieg

easy:12/15
medium:8/15
hard:10/15

first pass through

gonna keep at it

Though my guess is hard is all pc games and cult hits while easy is a mix, medium is a lot of snes I dont recognise.

There's one or two that I know but I just cannot place them.

Also

XXXX of the XXXX

I kept leaving the the out and they kept refusing to take it, was pulling my hair out screaming at the screen that I knew for a fact it was the right game.

number 13 in easy I got before they even said the words, there were quite a few that I spotted just from the first few jingles!

I will say though if there were more sega in here i'd be getting more right



Also am I right in assuming

there is no Castlevania or Megaman

in this?

I almost missed the only final fantasy one (got it 2nd time through)
