Video Game Quiz - Third Reincarnation

Postby blue.nocturne » Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:29 pm

Looks like this is becoming tradition now...
Anyways, due to lack of direct linking, I have to give the tracks in mp3 bundles. As apposed to the last two hosts, I will make the tracks always less than one minute, but they will be of variable length, since I was really mad when they cut off good songs at the 15 second mark. There will also be track arrangements/remixes, and other such things that will be introduced as the quiz progresses. If anyone would like to volunteer to host these files, I will directly link the numbers to the tracks.

VG QUIZ BEGIN!

--Round 2: Tracks 6-15--
--Round 3: Tracks 16-25--

Sure, I don't mind, I'll host the files on my freshly started site. It sure beats having to deal with .RAR files.
You'll have to E-Mail the files to me though. (See the "About Me" page on my new website)

I preferred streaming them. This is becoming even more like work as well as needing to delete them now after listening.

BTW: #3 is from Parasite Eve.
Are the **** spoiler tags really even necessary, anyways? People are going to read them anyways.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I usually couldn't be helped much though.

Hmm. Not really sure about these, so you're getting WAG's from me.

Okay, I just uploaded the songs onto my website.
You can find them at This place until blue.nocturne gets around to linking to the files.
Sorry it took that long, I forgot to check my E-mail. :(

Okay, it's updated, but there is still the problem of having to be redirected.. Oh well.
Anyways, Aethis gets +1, X is wrong on both.
Keep at it!

2 is from Minuki's Theme from Apollo Justice though it's from the jazz arrangement soundtrack rather than the actual game...

Hah I'm screwed this time. I'm not good with newer soundtracks. Maybe if you include some old arranged OSTs too ;)

Yeah, for this quiz, I'm going to be including arrangements and remixes to make things different. I'd prefer to do less obscure games, with other arrangements/interpretations. That way people have to really know the song in order to get it.
And you Jayster, you got it right, though the American name is Trucy's Theme.

Hmm. I'm not really fond of the arrangements idea unless they're actually from the games themselves (i.e. Hyrule Field, take 9,000 or so...), but so long as they actually sound like the original version(s) I don't mind as much (unlike some half-baked arrangement crap that finally gets to the original tune about 1-2 minutes into the tune, and even then sounds like the melody was fed through a meat grinder at twice the speed of sound).

As for me, I'm probably likewise screwed when it comes to newer OSTs (much like Lunar), unless you're counting stuff that's older than current gen (DC, N64, PSX, PS2, GC, etc). I know I used a lot of retro stuff when I was doing mine, perhaps too much so, but the best I could do on a regular basis was stuff up through the PS2 era anyway (and even that only so much). *shrugs*

Welcome my freinds, to the show that never ends.
I'm so glad you could attend.
Come inside, come inside.

Oh, er... I mean, When are the new songs coming up?

I've kinda been wondering that myself. It's almost been half a week, not that I'll know 'em anyway (just curious).
