44%...pretty bad, I ended up guessing a lot, lots of games I don't play, like JRPGs.

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

I got 60%... (Section Leader - That's certainly true... ;O) ) quite proud of that, given I haven't played most of the games in the quiz!

Now if someone could PM me the answer to #17, I'd be eternally grateful, because I was sure I had that right...

Love love LOVE that you chose To Zanarkand. I love that piece of music and I love that game.

Got a 64% I didn't know a lot of those weird Japanese ones and I definitely messed up on a couple of PS3 games.

19/25

I think it often boiled down to which was the most famous of the bunch. Nice little injection of nostalgia (has BF 1942 theme running in background now). I suspect that most of the ones I got wrong were from the JRPGS.

Also wierd how you'd pick songs with the title of the game in it (like Loco Roco or Daytona). I mean I knew these tracks but it's still pretty easy.

There were a few where I only needed to hear the first second and I knew what it was. I'm sure those with blisteringly fast times were just even better at doing that then I was.

Oddly enough I was listening to one of them AS I was answering the question it was involved in.

I'm pretty pleased with my 72%. And yes, I have indeed thought about buying a ticket for a videogame music concert.
[QUOTE=Onyx Oblivion]Seriously, you can't talk about great game music without JRPGs.[/QUOTE]
And that's exactly why I only got 72%, all the JRPG questions left me with a "Holy crap I haven't played a single one of these games! Ahhhh!" Pretty tunes for sure though.

Aiyaaaaaa! Thank you very much. That's 80%.

I think this quiz found a nice balance between iconic tunes, good stuff, and ridiculously obscure stuff. I'm 18th for now.

Hmmmm... being primarily a PC gamer has its disadvantages... although I would like to note that the only correct answers I got were those in which the games were available for PC.

Well, got the ones that are from games i played, mostly, the one with the diablo/torchlight options was tricky because they are so similar. Very sneaky! Considering in how many instances ive never heard of any of the 4 offered games, 10/25 is pretty good.

Very fun quiz!

I'm surprised I got as many as I did. I'd probably only played about 10 of the games that came up and only about five of the music samples came from games I knew for sure. the rest were educated (or not so educated) guesses.

56%... a little dissapointed but I loved how they put in Snake Eater in with a bunch of James Bond Games! God dammit that made me happy!

64%. Not bad, considering there were a lot of titles there I have never played. Fun quiz, though.

72% (18/25), 43rd out of 249. Not bad, I suppose.
