<div class="IPBDescription">Forum game</div>This is a game music guessing game.
How it's going to work is I'll post a link to the first 30 seconds of a track from a game, and you guys post where you think it comes from. When someone gets it, I'll post the next song (and say who got it).
<b>The Details</b>:<ul><li>In terms of points, it's usually 1 point for getting the name of the game and an additional point for knowing <i>where</i> in the game. I'm pretty flexible about the definition of "where". Here's the thing, though: if one person correctly identifies the game but can't quite remember where in the game it stays open for anyone else to get. That's the general idea. If there are any bonus points to be got I'll mention them when I post the link, and I'll update this post to reflect the scoreboard.</li><li>Wherever possible, the music is directly from the game. In other cases it's (unfortunately) recorded from midi versions. I'll mention when I post if the file was originally a midi. Hopefully in most cases it won't make a difference.</li><li>There won't be more than one track from the same game. There <i>might</i> be more than one game from the same series, however.</li><li>PC games only. It's also kind of biased towards older games.</li><li>If nobody gets a song after about a day or so, I'll move right on to posting the next one (the old one stays open).</li></ul>

**edit**
now that i listen to it agian, it sounds like something else i recognize, but i'm sticking with monkey island for my answer.
New track available. C'mon, other people play too :P.
Edit: The song is called Radio
New track added, a harder one this time.
I listen to game music
Never heard that one
Is it a C64 game? It does sound familiar...the only games it makes me think (atm) of are Wizball and Marble Madness, but I don't think it's them.
...

Yup, I'll pay that <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Obscure music FTW! I would have gotten either of the other 2... shame I wasn't here in time.
Good game <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Spot on! Well done! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
New track added. It's recorded from a MIDI this time, but as far as I know it was originally a MIDI in the first place.
<edit>Just read about the PC dilly, don't have any PC game songs.</edit>
Ok, moving on...
TA is right. The tracks only had names retroactively (it was never in the game), so no bonus point (sorry <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->).
Next one added.
edit:
SoulSkorpion, should you run out of tunes, I have a reasonable collection of PC game music in various formats (midi, flac and anything in-between).
/EDIT
Also, this track is repeated through several missions, in both MW2 and GBL, so it cant be tied to any specific mission.
/EDIT2
Aha! Also, it is Track #9 on the CD, and lasts 1 minute and 45 Seconds.
Yup! Still open to guess the name of the track (the track names were made known in the game, if you know where to look...)

Yup!
New track added. Everyone should be able to get this one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

Thanks for the offer. I should be ok for the moment, I've got some 20 or so already waiting in reserve to be uploaded.
While we're at it, if anyone's curious, I used <a href='http://audacity.sourceforge.net/' target='_blank'>Audacity</a> to edit these tracks, and also to record most of them myself.
The last track is from the Kurast Docks, of Diablo 2!

And pieceofsoap takes the lead!
New track added. It's a MIDI again, although I think the original music was in MIDI format.
Best guess is Monkey Island 2, because I think it's from an adventure game and that's the only one I can think of right now.
Record, as in used a mic & speakers? Or does Audacity have some tool that allows you to dump anything being played into a wave file?
