When I do my next giveaways, I want to do a puzzle like this.
As for the puzzle itself...I got 1, 2 and 6 on the first go. Not sure where the others are from...

Glad you are enjoying it :-) The hints might help you figure out the missing ones.

I've managed to get everything but Question 4 so far.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes it seems 4 is proving difficult for many. I've updated the hint to make it more obvious, so when the hints reveal tomorrow I think you should have no problem.
Comment has been collapsed.
Good job! Glad to hear you have similar gaming experiences to know them all well :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Instantly recognised everything but 2,3 and 4. No idea about those...

Only Q5 left, going to give it another try later. Meanwhile, happy early birthday!

Any music recommendations?
Comment has been collapsed.
Omg i played Q5 for hours and hours and still couldn't think of it until now >-<
Thanks for the giveaway even tho i can't enter any :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah sorry man. Though you still have like 10 days before they end ;-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thx for the GA's and quiz.
Solved all except Q#4.
Ironically, but I knew the track in the past.
But I really can't remember it name now. Haha. :D
About the music, I highly recommend the soundtrack of games like Bastion, Transistor and Ori & The Blind Forest. Enjoy!
UPD: Solved 'em all! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
cheers! All good recommendations, and all represented in my youtube playlist already :-) But thanks anyway!

Happy early birthday. I stuck for about 2 hrs at the last question but i found the game in the end.

Hotline Miami 2
Pony Island
These two from Frederic: Evil Strikes Back(1, 2)
Also i love the Van Helsing 2 menu music
Comment has been collapsed.
Great suggestion on Hotline Miami 2! I added one of the many great ones from Hotline Miami to the playlist, and didn't even think to check back on the sequel's OST. I think the original blew me away, not just the music but the whole game was fantastic. The sequel was still great, but didn't have the same impact and I forgot to include a track. I'm adding that one now, as it's a great choice. Thank you!
Also, very nice Van Helsing music, i like it.
Comment has been collapsed.
No idea about 4 and 5. Everything else was a breeze.
Happy (early) Birthday anyway!

cheers!
Hints will appear soon, which should help you :-)

Bumping the great music quiz with one of my favorites: Crypt of the Necrodancer - 1.1.!
Comment has been collapsed.
Cheers! Yeah, I had to include one from Crypt in my youtube playlist. It was hard to choose. When I'm playing the game itself, they all fit so well.
Comment has been collapsed.
Know Q6 and Q7... not a clue on the rest. Guess they are not PC games :/

Games aren't too shabby either.

Started watching the Ephemerid trailer, saw relaxing looking insects flying around, then the bad-ass guitar starts up!

Seems not all solvers listened to your playlist... I bookmarked it, will listen whenever I can, all 69 of them. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I guess it takes a bit too long to go through them all. Hope some people enjoy the 69
..until I add a few more and get in to the 70s

😺💬🆙 bump for solved~ Those hints helped a lot!
Edit: Forgot the Music recommendation
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump for solved, although I had to wait for some hints. They really helped, however:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thx Threepw00d! I have such a strong attachment to video game music, those melodies really have a way of embedding themselves into some warm fuzzy corner of the brain. Something about the association with the enjoyment of the game, the atmosphere of exploring a game in relaxed contemplation... and it just brings back so many memories.
A few games that I recall fondly for their tunes... maybe will add more as I have time to do so, so many to mention!
- Primordia - Vangelis-like ambient synths, perfect match for this cyberpunk adventure. This track has vocals.
- Night of the Rabbit - Kinda celtic-like, with a childhood cinematic fantasy feel
- The Sims - Right, so I realize this is just like adult contemporary piano music, but I still love it and the association of building/designing/moving furniture around with a nice cup of tea in hand.
- Jet Grind Radio - Great electic mix of Japanese electro-hip-hop-funk inspired beats. I saw some 塊 in your playlist so I'm sure this is up your alley too!
Comment has been collapsed.
Great recommendations, cheers for those. Good taste!
I have to admit, I bought Primordia a long time ago on GOG, and haven't even tried it >< shameful... Night of the Rabbit is a game that didn't really appeal, but damn that's a really good soundtrack! Listening through it now, might have to add one to the playlist :-)
I indeed loved Jet Set/Grind Radio, such a fun game.
Thanks again!
Comment has been collapsed.
I highly recommend giving Primordia a shot, the writing, voice acting, and atmosphere are all top-notch. It's hilarious yet also one of the more philosophical and thought-provoking games I've come across. Maybe have a walkthrough handy for tough spots if you don't want to waste too much time if you get stuck on a puzzle or pixel hunt. I think I finished it in about 4-5 hours total playtime (and a bottle of 12 yr old Yamazaki whisky was involved)
Night of the Rabbit is great in artwork and atmosphere, but I found the writing, pacing, puzzles, and story to all be a bit lacking. I did a play through with my kids watching and helping to think of puzzle solutions, and had a walkthrough handy because I just wanted to get through the story. An uneven game on the whole, but I don't regret doing a play-through and I think it left an impression on my kids.

I got Q5 and Q7 right away. I guess I must be old. Can't figure out Q3 and Q4

Same here, I only knew Q5 and Q7! All the other seem new! 8)

Did the hints show up for you now? Should be much easier!
Comment has been collapsed.
I was able to solve it shortly after my OP. I tried it again now to see what the hints were but it says I have to wait 24 hours? Oh well I'm sure they were useful hints :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Apparently the countdown timer begins after you make a first guess. So if you've already answered a couple of questions, you should be able to see them all.
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess you have to leave the tab open for 24 hrs? I don't know. I tried it again and it resets to 24 hrs. Ah well i've already solved so it doesn't matter.

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!
