Do You Think You Know Videogame Music? Try Our Quiz!

[Thedutchjelle]

I got like 500 game music tracks but I only knew some of the ones in the quiz, and now it gave me a second fiddle badge

 

[Tomtitan]

On a couple of them I clicked the button, immediately knew which one it was, but just waited for it to finish because it was such good music.

Only on a couple though, I still failed miserably with 49%. :S

And I really resent this badge, I lurve teh musics! I just... don't play that many games...

 

[Hiphophippo]

19/25 first try. A solid attempt. Until now though, I'd never considered how similar the themes to Oblivion and Pirates of the Carribean are.

 

[Tony2077]

10 wrong i wonder which ones they were, maybe i got the one jrpg question wrong hard to tell with some

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

Second String? Oh god, this is embarrasing. Video game music is exactly my thing, but these beats were too fresh for me, apparently.

I want my Parasprinter and Streets of Desolation back.

 

[NooNameLeft]

This is probably the hardest quiz ever, only one got a 100% (and that one is John Funk).

"3 Susan Arendt 92.0% (23/25) 8163:10"
Wait 8163 minutes?!

The Escapist keeps freaking out on me and sending me to the beginning of the test! I should be ACING THIS. I'm the IRC's resident Chiptune fan, for Christ's sake! D:

Wait, someone else has actually played Stretch Panic?

OK, I've spent 10 minutes trying to take this damn test, and the Escapist is still flipping out. I think my time is sufficiently screwed, so I'm going to try again later.

 

[SageRuffin]

Hey, not bad. I got 9 wrong.

And I guessed on everything except for about 6 question.

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

88%

Only pretty good, considering the music is one of the top reasons I play games. Still, I'm happy with it.

 

[Serenegoose]

I got 60%. I feel that's pretty good, considering just how many games in the list I hadn't played! Tough quiz, nicely done, quiz-people.

 

[BlueHighwind]

That quiz was brutally hard, mostly because I haven't played 70% of the games listed there. Oddly there was no Nintendo at all. I managed to guess the Doom one right only because I remember the theme from an AVGN review of the Atari Jaguar.

I had the biggest goofiest smile when you had a LocoRoco theme!

Take this quiz [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/result/118.106-Second+String]

Those were some tough ones. I'm glad I knew some. (not gonna tell which!)

 

[Summerstorm]

Good quiz... got 52%... because i pretty much had to guess at all samples from a console since 1995. SNES i know the classics, and PC-gamer i am, i think i got them all right too, but if something is Shadow of the Colossus or God of War... no idea.

 

[Guvnorium]

Woo 3rd out of 35... I'd say that's pretty good with an 80%

The Red Alert and Battlefield 1942 themes really got the nostalgia going =)

When I saw the quiz, I thought "they better have Hell March in there." And they did. It was the last question for me.

122nd. I'm cool with that.

 

[_Janny_]

Amazing how just one second of a song can be so recognizable. I love video game music, but I'm not familiar with driving or war games so I scored about 50%. >.<

 

[JackKrauserFtw]

i missed all of the japanese ones, alot of them didnt even sound that great to me :/

 

[Eric the Orange]

I did pretty good in the categories where I had played the games in question.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I only got 52%. Meh, most of the ones I got wrong were from games I haven't played.
