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.

Edit: I've also corrected a couple mistakes on my list.

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

Ha! Looking through what people have gotten so far, I can't believe nobody got all the classic Amiga tunes! That said, I don't know many of the Nintendo/Sega tunes so...

The list at the top has a mistake. #1 of T2 is Bubble Bobble. We don't have #2 yet, i don't think.

Me and PiratePoo solved the two first tabs using "team work!"

Don't be shy, we're missing 2,14 and 15 on level 2

There's no 'Me and PiratePoo' in 'Team' ;)
