Think You Know Game Music?
Try GamingFM's Name that Game Contest. I thought my level of geekery in regards to game music was decent, but this contest has humbled me. I can only get three with any degree of certainty, even though many do sound familiar. Here's my list so far:
- Sounds like it could be Halo? I don't have it, so I can't tell for certain. Confirmed, thanks Boy!
- Arg. I know this, but I can't figure out from where.
- Earthworm Jim 2 - Subterranean - thanks Jenn for the reminder and confirmation.
- Star Control 2 - thanks JP!
- Mega Man 2. Sounds like Bubble Man's theme, but slightly retuned -- perhaps from the Genesis Wily Wars?
- Shinobi PS2 - thanks PawelMaji and Boy (for the confirmation)!
- Streets of Rage 2, which I still have never played.
- Panzer Dragoon Orta - thanks Boy! I *really* should have known this one, as it's one of my favourite current-gen soundtracks.
- ??? Some dance/rhythm game perhaps?
- ???
- Blaster Master - thanks bassbeast!
- Final Fantasy VII, duh.
- ???
- Dracula X - Rondo of Blood - thanks wedge55!
- ?? On second thought, it doesn't sound like SEGA CD at all.
I suck.

#14 is from Castlevania, although it's impossible to tell which one as the song appears in nearly all of them. Based on the quality of the track I'd say it comes from either Rondo of Blood or Symphony of the Night.

#4 is the hyperspace sequence music from Star Control 2. In general the retro computer game music was pretty under-represented... no C64 / Amiga / Atari ST / PC FM synth tunes at all.
