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

Tough, tough quiz, from a large variety of genres, some of which I don't even play. I'll take my 80% with pride.

On the other hand, I can recognise that beautiful pursuit theme from the very first notes. Awwww yeaaaah.

Edit: Ha, I have to correct my own labeling for one of my favourite songs.

 

[Fusioncode9]

67%, I missed a lot of the more obscure titles

 

[Andronicus]

Aww, only 72%? Actually, that's fair enough. Most of these titles I haven't played, and I think I may have guessed a few right as well. I demand Grant Kirkhope though.

 

[Verkain]

I only got 36% right. Music is not my forte.

 

[Silver]

Wait, what? Hell march is not iconic? Tristram theme? The monkey island one? Rocket waltz? Still alive? Do I play the wrong kind of games?

Anyway, really nice quiz. Real fun.

How dare you not include this! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vq3ZacXSZs]

The only way to end this quiz is with this:


Unfortunately, our quiz randomizes both the questions and answer order, so we can't have any "end question." It's different every time.

I know that.

I meant it as sort of a "now that the quiz is over, enjoy this game over sound."

P.S. 80%!!

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Some of those were laughably easy while others I had never even heard of the game.

 

[Jamieson 90]

Score was not so great but man brough back memories hearing Command and Conquer Hell march on there such an amazing track for that game, really gets the blood flowing.

 

[FFKonoko]

This was an awesome quiz. Though damn...I had to guess more than I would have liked.

Spoiler

Torchlight, Diablo, Shadow of the Collossus, Persona, God of War 2/3, Prince of Persia, Myst, Riven, Civ 4/5, Pirates!...so many games that I haven't heard the music for and thus cannot easily rule out or discern.
But The Edge, Hells March, At Doom's Gate, Snake Eater, the team fortress one...those songs I was selecting and ready to click next within the first couple seconds. x3

Got 19/25, and am left curious about the ones I didn't get right...

 

[Awexsome]

OC remix is one of the best sites ever created on the internets. Just wanted to say that.

 

[The Random One]

Ugh, I got only 48%. I'm pretty sure I had to guess at least half the questions because I hadn't even played any of the games listed though. Certainly that means I'm a little game Mozart.

 

[Andy of Comix Inc]

I knew every one I had personally heard before... I'm like a sponge, I learn music by ear and I can't forget a song or where it's from.

The only ones I got wrong were the ones I had never heard before.

This quiz was awesome, loved every second and made me keen to crank out the old mix CDs and listen to more videogame tunes!

 

[Ghored]

I got 68%, that's 17/25 for you who don't want to mathmaticate it out. (yes I did just say mathmaticate.)
It was nice, considering I knew almost none of them, showing I have a lot more to pay attention to in VGM.


Some bits I didn't know sounded right with some certain answers while others didn't,

Spoiler

like this futuristic bit and one of the four answers was "Assassin's Creed II"

I guess I've kind of picked up an ear for this kind of stuff.

 

[GothmogII]

This is one quiz I couldn't look up the answe...ahem 'research' for, but, I still got 60% which I'm pretty happy with, since I did remember a lot of those tunes.

[Aptspire]

76% ?!?
a lot better than I thought (didn't know a number of those)
also, the fact that I nostalgia'd more often than expected helps

 

[Space Jawa]

Clearly, I don't listen to the right video game music or something.

Oh well.

 

[plastic_window]

100% on my first try - that's what ya call BEWM.

The Junes theme was a very nice touch, by the way :3

 

[Aenir]

Oh my god, best quiz ever. Thank you so much for that.

That BF1942 clip...I just love that so much.

Oh, and the Red Alert one. Great music.

Here's some Total Annihilation music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_9QO_76l_I

 

[Crazyjay]

when i saw Battlefield 1942 as one of the answers, i didnt even need to listen to the bit to get the answer right, such an awesome piece of music
