Reserved, for updates:
Half an hour in, 18 players and no solvers yet. I actually thought it would be quite easy, except for maybe Q5 and Q7 because they're older games (but classics that I had hoped everyone would know!).

98 solvers to date, good job guys. Hints will help you - but if you are still having trouble, reply here and I'll add a few extra hints.

Well done!
By the way, I realise I screwed up the link at the end of the quiz. Please check it again and you should find the correct link to all the giveaways, not just the bundle trash :-D

As for game music, many, many recent soundracks are pretty dull and forgetabe. However, there are some unexpected hidden gems. One of those is ost from Pixel Boy.You can listen to the whole album on the composer's bandcamp site - https://0pyramid0.bandcamp.com/album/pixel-boy-ost .

Very nice, I might add one of the songs to my playlist. Cheers!

Wow, you might be missing out on so much good music to suit the game!
I suppose it depends a lot on what you play too. Cheers!

The only ones that I knew were 1 & 5 :( At least the soundtracks of all the ''questions'' are enjoyable xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Lmao, got 7, still need 4 more xD
I did a bit of cheating and got another one xd
Got another one, 2 are missing :P

I don't recognize song 3 at all, it just sounds like generic techno to me.
I do recognize song 5, but can't place it, arg! EDIT: Solved! The interesting thing is this game actually has two different names depending on the region you played it in.
Solved the rest without difficulty though.

I used to play a lot the game of the song 5 and always after playing I would still have that song in my head.

Happy Birthday :-)
As for the puzzle, guess my memory is crap or I haven't played many of these. knew 1 & 6 right away and pretty sure I know 5 from somewhere. got nothing on the others.
edit: haha remembered #5
edit 2: on replaying i recognized #7 as well (very fun game)... so jsut 2-4 I am stuck on. guess I will wait for hints
edit 3: came back and tried a few random guesses... was able to get 2 more (never played #3/#4). Just #2 left now
edit 4: brute force ftw... another one i never played, so i don't feel bad about missing #2-#4 initially.
thx for the puzzle

Good work, you got there in the end! Any recommendations to add to the youtube playlist?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure what you're favs are, other than the obvious stuff from the quiz or your s/n. Myself, I'm fond of these but YMMV:
also lots of other good retros in Pieces of 8-bit's playlists
Comment has been collapsed.
Most of my favourites are in the youtube playlist found at the end of the quiz (on the main giveaway page). Skyrim and Zelda are in their :-)
Never heard of Betrayal at Krondor - I must have missed that in my childhood.
Pieces of 8-bit is amazing, thanks for the heads up! Listening to Shadow of the Beast and Doom. I'd forgotten how awesome Doom's music was.
Comment has been collapsed.
I solved it, but I'm not really interested in any of the games being given away. Oh well. :)
Here's a nice song for your playlist anyway. And happy (almost) birthday!
Comment has been collapsed.
Well done! Glad someone finally recognized them all.
Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't played any of the NieR games before, but that's a good song. Are the soundtracks similar for all their games? I'll dig around a little more. Cheers!

Thanks!

Yes, this is the kind of puzzle I love! (Even if later i'm not interested in the games, with this I'll have the playlist, at least) Thanks for it, solved everything withouth problems, but number 5, I've definitely played that game, but I can't place it.
Oh, and happy almost level 9 and birthday!!
Comment has been collapsed.
Good! And yes, Q5 is perhaps the hardest because it's the oldest. When the hints show, I think you'll figure it out.
Comment has been collapsed.
Uff, didn't need any hints, I just got an epiphany or something xD I ended not entering on any GA, but damn if it wasn't funny. And you have a really good taste on videogame music, that's a really good selection. But, I do recommend you this as well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H8w_Q57RQJc There has to be something on that OST that catches your attention (I personally like everything :3)

Thanks, and well done on solving. I messed up the winning link earlier, please check again to find the rest of the giveaways including the unbundled ones.
Thanks for the link - any particular song you think stands out?
Comment has been collapsed.
Making me choose is cruel, but I think I'll go with:
And I checked the new GAs, the only game I'm interested in I can't enter because I'm level 4 xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought the first would be instantly recognized by everyone :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Could you give a hint for track #3 ? I have absolutely no clue what it's from, and don't think I've heard it before. Solved all the other ones.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hints will reveal automatically, there's a little countdown timer on the right of the quiz page. With hints, I think you'll get it :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Good point, I added a warning about Q5. Sorry! :-)
Q4 is from one of the best game soundtracks - you'll find a couple of better ones on the actual playlist if you solve :-) I just chose this one because it's more recognisable, but I guess only to those that have played it. Everyone should play this game :-D
p.s. Good avatar choice, my favourite Ghibli film.

Giveaway time!
I'm almost level 9, so these giveaways should push me over.
All the giveaways end on my birthday, March 15th.
I want your input to add to my music playlist!
I've put together a playlist of my favourite video game music, currently 66 songs (now 75 songs, thanks to you guys!). Generally I've added music from games I've played and enjoyed, with just a few exceptions. I've made a pretty easy quiz with just 7 music questions. If you are able to identify what games the famous music is from, then you'll reach all the giveaways (31 in total, most bundled, some unbundled) and the link to my full playlist. Don't worry! If you can't answer the questions, some hints will appear a day later, and if you still can't answer the questions, I may add some easier hints in the thread next week. Once the giveaways are over, I will add the full playlist here in case anyone else wants to add their recommendations.

Q5 is very loud, sorry about that! Please lower your volume before listening ;-)
31 giveaways at the end of the puzzle, for level 2+. level 4+ and level 6+
Plus 1 extra whitelist giveaway.
update
397 players, and 129 solvers. Not bad!
Less than 24 hours left now, which means if you haven't tried the quiz yet, the hints won't reveal in time to help you (24-hour countdown for hints). If anyone needs a hint for a question, reply and maybe I'll give an extra hint. Cheers!
update 2
Ok in hindsight, perhaps setting the 24 hour hint thing was too long. Here's the hints for those late comers trying to solve now:
Q1. Come on... everyone knows this one! It's a classic from the SNES days. It's Super.
Q2. She died. We cried. Maybe we'll do so again when the remake is Finally released.
Q3. A bit of the old ultra violence. In Miami.
Q4. This is how I roll! Ok so not everyone knows this one, which is a shame. It's one of the best games from the PS2. Very unique and fun gameplay. Bright and colourful and crazy Japanese game (though released in English too).Still don't know it? Ask the King of All Cosmos.
Q5. Classic old arcade game, great for co-op. Bubbly.
Q6. The cake is a lie. Maybe.
Q7. A tale of a mighty pirate, known for his charm and good looks. Legend has it he still roams the Island today, searching for the finest rum. (the rum part of the hint has nothing to do with the game, but rather the person with the same name as the game's protagonist who has a slight rum addiction.
update 3
Giveaways over, thanks for taking part. If you'd like to listen to the youtube playlist anytime, feel free to make more suggestions so I can expand the playlist! Cheers!
