Sno Posted February 20, 2013 Alright, this is a fun thing, i'm on board with this. Not listing the ones you already got, here's what i recognize and can add: Tier 1 Correct - 1 - Definitely SF2, Guile's theme? Sonic the Hedgehog - 3 - One of the Sonic themes from one of the Genesis games. Correct - 4 - Tetris! Korobeiniki? Correct - 6 - "Act on Instinct" from the original Command & Conquer! Frank Klepacki! Diablo 2 - 7 - Definitely something from Diablo 1/2. Correct - 8 - Something from Goldeneye, i'd assume. Correct - 9 - E1M1 from Doom. Correct - 10 - Did not double check, but i think it's the underworld theme from the original SMB? Metal Gear Solid - 12 - That is definitely a Metal Gear theme, but i have no idea which game specifically. Ocarina of Time - 15 - The save select theme from LTTP. (Or Ocarina, whichever.) Tier 2 Correct - 5. I want to say it's a Mario Kart SNES theme, no idea. Silent Hill - 8. That is definitely some of Akira Yamaoka's Silent Hill music, not sure which game specifically. Correct - 10. That would be the theme Trent Reznor did for Doom 3. Edit: Wait! No, that's the Quake 1 theme. (Also Trent Reznor.) Correct - 12. I want to say it's from UT? Maybe the theme that plays during the intro cutscene or something? Tier 3. Correct - 1. That is the Duke Nukem 3D theme. Correct - 2. That is from Homeworld, it plays during battles with the Kadesh. Correct - 10. That is the Killer Instinct theme, which is basically the same in all of the games. Correct - 12. The song that plays on the medical/science deck of System Shock 2. I didn't double check any of these, that would ruin my fun. I'm probably wrong on a couple, though i've specifically labeled the ones i'm not sure about. Edit: I didn't realize how this worked, i've gone and confirmed my answers. I was mostly right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noyb Posted February 20, 2013 Tier 2 1: Bubble Bobble 7: Super Mario 64 And PS2 games are retro now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted February 20, 2013 I know I went in expecting titles from the nes era and earlier. It's more like video game classics And on that note, for all the games I don't know I'm going to type in Greendog and see if I get lucky Tier 2 7: Super Mario 64 I fucking knew it, but it wouldn't except 'Mario 64', which made me question my sanity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
