I think it's way better if you concentrate on music and sound effects from games. If you're going to use dialogue alone, you might as well just post a quote.
I like the concept of this game. It's a good idea, but don't be too surprised if it bombs - it's simply because it's less immediately accessible than text- or image-based games. I made a similar quiz once which featured a medley of music from different games. Maybe I'll post it up in General Gaming, if I can find it. |

That would be great, Huz.
I could post some myself, if someone would be so kind as to suggest a fast and easy way to put soundfiles up on the net.

KriD, there are several easy ways. First, you should have a few Mb of free webspace from your internet service provider where you can upload files.
Alternatively, try this: http://www.yousendit.com/ Don't worry about filling any email fields in, simply: Go to number 2, Browse the file on your pc, Click sendit (number 3). Link the upload address Similar deal with this one : http://www.turboupload.com/ Browse for file, Enter a meaningful file description, Tick the terms of service box, Upload the file. Link address. |

In an effort to revive this thread, and inspired by Huz's in General, I now present The Big Adventure Medley (or some equally cool name). The file features 36 (because it's a fun number) extracts from 36 different adventure games. To make the game more interesting, try to also guess where the track plays in the game.
Most of it is extremely easy, so as not to kill the thread again, with maybe a couple of trickier ones thrown in for good measure. I can't think of a suitable prize (I don't think anyone's interested in an autographed copy of one of my reviews? ), so it's all for... eternal glory! Or something. And now... THE FILE! [mp3, 10:42, approx. 10 Mb]

Nice work, Kurufinwe
I only counted 34, so the numbers are probably wrong. Most of these are guesses: 1. GK: The Beast Within - The Opera 2. MI3 - The song on the ship 9. GK3 11. The Moment of Silence 12. Inidana Jones 21. DOTT 26. Discworld Noir - at the fireplace in some Guild (can' remember which) 30. Syberia - in Valadilène I think 33. GK3 (again?) 34. MI2 Most of them is probably wrong, but I'm pretty sure of GK2, MI3, Discworld and Syberia.

Hey, you're good, KriD! Though I thought others would be found quickly too (though maybe you haven't played the games in question).
OK, let's see. Quote:

So that's 8/36 solved (or semi-solved).

Starting with the obvious ones, #1 is er... "Wagner's" opera from Gabriel Knight 2, and #2 is "A pirate I was meant to be" from The Curse of Monkey Island.
After that, matters get worse, as I a) suck at music quizzes, and b) get lost in the numeration. Am I right in thinking that some extracts are just 1 or 2 seconds long? 5. Neverhood? Another which sounds familiar is 14(ish). (the one that starts at about 4:00) Prisoner of Ice? Is the medieval-sounding piece at 4:50 Conquests of the Longbow? I'll go with Broken Sword 3 ending credits for #34 (the rock song). About two tunes before it I can hear an extract from Marvin Gaye's beautiful Nature Boy, which was used in Faust, chapter 3. Could the last one be Monkey Island 2, from the Captain Dread's boat? Oh, and there was the Indiana Jones tune somewhere in there. From The Last Crusade, I suppose. EDIT: Oops, KriD beat me to some.

Am I right if I'm saying that one of the Tex Murphy games is in there somewhere?
