Hello my fellow gamers! One of my bigger interests is video game music and a little now and then I try to create a VGM quiz for others to enjoy primarily on the fact that I want to spread some good music around like I've done in the past here. The rules are simple, listen to all the tracks I've gathered in the link, fill in which game the song comes from (be specific!) and then send me a PM with your answers (DO NOT post your answers in this thread). You can of course discuss generally about the quiz in this thread but nothing about any specific music tracks. You can use the template I've prepared when filling in your answers. Cheating would be to lookup songs on youtube etc so please refrain from that in order to keep this fair and square although there are no prizes except for prestige. I've tried to vary formats, genres, difficulty and everything as much as possible but I've been doing this on quite a lot of other forums throughout the years so my arsenal of tracks are heavily influenced by what I've been playing recently. Don't be discouraged if you think your score is low, it is usually very hard to score high in these contests, just send in your score anyway and try to enjoy the music instead! 01: 02: 03: 04: 05: 06: 07: 08: 09: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: 17: 18: 19: 20: 21: 22: 23: 24: 25: Link: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1846116/Tiduas%20VGM%20Quiz%202016%20Winter.rarDeadline: 26th January 23:59

I almost want to take part in this, but personally don't see the need for PMs when we have a Spoiler tag...unless prizes are involved, in which case I can understand the secrecy.

The secrecy just comes from that I personally find it more fun to announce the winner(s) in the end with a glorious bang over all the different forums at the same time. Also, if you use spoiler tags it's very easy to just click it and see the answers from other members instead of listening to the quiz a little now and then, think about the answers for yourself and then get in some good guesses after thinking for a while. At least that's how we play at other places where we're doing quizes like this. And you should totally join!

I only knew 18 and 19, so I'm not sure if it's worth sending a PM. I like the track selection, though.

This was a lot of fun the last time I did it and I also get to listen to a bunch of game music I never heard before. So even if I only knew few it's worth doing again.

Just a quick reminder today is the last day! My deadline was set with Swedish time in mind but I'll be nice if any answers arrive before I put the correct answers online since many people in America are a lot of hours behind. It is so much fun reading all your answers, which tracks you're struggling with and which ones are your favorites. I'm very grateful to hear that a lot of people seem to enjoy my quizes and hope that more people will make their own in similiar fashion to this one, I would gladly join in

Drat, so 4 was Harmony of Despair (now that I checked it, the song is originally from Portrait of Ruin). If only...
Anyway, the quiz was fun, thanks for organizing it!
