I'm happy with my 60%. I don't know a lot of game music so getting over 50% was good enough for me.
It is without a doubt, excellent, but I can NEVER skip the intro to this game. Never...John Funk said:Either would have worked, but the song I *did* pick is one of the few pieces of videogame music to make me put down my controller in awe and just listen. I kind of had to go with itdeth2munkies said:Oh come on, you had to pick a couple of obscure Japanese games to screw over my chances
Also:
You should have used Scars of Time instead of Dreams on the Shore Near Another World

Edit:
Now that I think about it, the beginning of Dragon God might have been better to use for an iconic 10 seconds:
I played the one for the first question and went "o.0 WTF is this do do do do do do do shit".
Then I played the one for the second question and went "". Hell March for the mother fucking win.
Then I raged again at #12, that is the music of broken controls and frustration, and thanking Nintendo for all the Wiimote protection items so it survived when that piece of crap game actually succeeded in making me throw my controller in anger and disgust.
And then 20 and 21 made me happy again.
Anyway that's my little emotions story doing this. I got 15 out of 25, not too bad I guess considering a lot of the questions had games I hadn't even heard of as answers.

For some reason I could hum along the BF1942 theme, but it took me a while before I realised it was BF1942.
Take this quiz [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/result/118.107-Section+Leader]
There were some I recognize and some I didn't. Some of the music got me confused if they were based from the same publishers or same genre.

64%. Not bad, since I have little or no knowledge of JRPGs. Could have picked a better section of the DAYYYYTTONA! track, however.
Bah! Too much eastern music for my tastes. Since I'm a sort of video game music audiophile, I breezed through most of the questions that weren't tied to JRPGs and the sorts. Stuff like Bioshock, BF1942, TF2, Diablo, Oblivion I listen to on a daily basis. Got 17/25 and I don't particularly like it...
Once you hear Tristram you're not supposed to just forget it, dammit!3nimac said:
Yeah, even the music in torchlight is a ripoff.3nimac said:
Though personally, I found the song from Diablo way more compelling and powerful, just like the rest of the atmosphere. Such an amazing tune.I would've liked 2 quizzes though: one for PC, or at the least western games, and for console or Japanese games. I nailed almost every PC game, but was so hopelessly lost on many others.
Awww HELL YEAH!!! Ranked #4 and it only took me 6 tries...
It was that Stupid Bioshock and Loco Roco taht kept messing me up @__@

I did better on the quiz than I thought I would although I will admit I did guess on many of them.
also I was pretty amused by the Daytona track
I'm suprised I got 60% the only I was sure of was Snake Eater
No Silent Hill/Akira Yamaoka *slowly waves head*

Okay I got 44% and haven't played any of the games so consider that the control, if you get any less than 44% you don't know anything. I'd probably say that less that 50% is pretty poor too.
