I call BS on anyone getting high scores in less than 3 minutes, that's not even enough time to listen to the tracks let alone click next and wait for the page to load.
OT: i was waiting for the game represented in the last track to show up on this list, It would be a disappointment if it wasn't
You noticed that too? Last I checked(which was yesterday), the outsider was #1 with 100% at around 1:30. That's less than three seconds per clip alone not counting load times for the pages.

Agreed. (1 Try, 1:28, 100% = Impossible) That is 3.44 seconds per answer to hear it, click the right thing and then get the next song to load. Clankenbeard calls shenanigans!

Clankenbeard knows how to cheat the system to achieve high scores in similar fashion. But he refrains from doing so or spilling his guts on the subject due to high moral standards. :) Also, researching right answers takes work if you don't know them. If The Escapist would like to know how the loophole works to fix the dang thing, send Clanky a private message. Okay, you probably already know and it isn't really worth fixing.

Also, I am clearly tone deaf and haven't played anough games because I bombed the quiz. Epic failure.

Seeeing I played at most half of the games there and made decissions on solely how which game came closer to the tone that the melody setted, i'm quite happy wiht my score.

I got 60% at best, then I got 56% after each retake. Section leader, I guess that's not bad.

Hell March and the Battlefield Theme really got me going, though nearly everything else was guesswork.

I am insulted! I should totally know more songs than 17 out of 25! And I have been to 3 live music concerts!

Still, a nice trip down memory lane, the older ones threw me off.

If this isn't the toughest quiz this magazine has ever made, it's close. I got 52% on my first try, good for the Second String badge, and now I'm going to T&E my way to 100% (hopefully).

Edit: 6 tries later and I'm in 18th place avec a perfect score. Great Quiz! One of my favourite video game songs is on there (Hell March), which was a bonus.

Not bad, considering I've played well under 64% of the games listed on the test. The music must have been pretty iconic, though, because the ones I did recognize were instant.

Not bad, considering I was mostly guessing. I haven't even heard of most of these games.

92% on the first try with Conductor. Only two I got wrong were seriously unknown to me, and what pissed me off more was the fact the answer to one of them was a game I actually played and have the whole soundtrack of! But I never encountered the song in-game so....

I am pretty damn proud however that five of those questions I answered were from games I never played so there is that. Don't you just hate it when you always pick the LAST answer right? Oh well, I needed that 100%, I pride myself on my videogame music knowledge.
