allright here's a new medley

http://www.mediafire.com/?ounvohmztnm

if you have troubles with it try alternative links at the bottom

Some general notes:

- There are 20 tunes from 20 different games but "different game" doesn't mean two different games in a game series can not appear.

- Try couple of answers at a time to give others a chance. You should state where or when the tune is heard or name of the song if you know it.

About the medley, you will find both older and more recent titles, although now that i look into it you won't find exactly "extremely old" ones like that from the 80's nor a freshly new ones from a couple of days ago. There are 2 hybrid adventures and 2 indy adventures in the list. I used Shany's style for numbering the songs and if someone wishes to see when each song plays you can check the playlist

Ouch. Either we don't have the same taste in games, or I'm getting rusty, because I almost can't recognise anything. There are only 4 I'm entirely sure of, + 2 that I think I know. Let's start with those two.

I think #6 is from one of the Bone games; possibly the Inn in the second game?

I'm pretty sure #9 is from Toonstruck, but I'm not sure where. Somehow, I think it's inside the castle -- maybe that study where you end up breaking everything?

[Shany]

Thanks for doing this!

Lots of familiar ones, but only a few that I can actually place.

So for now:
1) 5 Days a Stranger - Opening (I think)
6) Escape From Monkey Island - Scumm Bar

[ZeframCochrane]

Yay! Here's another I recognize:

#13 - Runaway, several locations, but first heard coming from one of the girls' radio, in the desert.

Nice work. I predicted this one to prove harder but you guessed it correctly. A really cool song and that scene in study was hillarious. More trivia - song is called Joyful Waltz by Zdenek Bartak.

@Shany

Both correct. So #1 is indeed intro to "5 days" and #6 is Scumm Bar version of EFMI. So, it's not from Bone and i was going to hint that it's from one of the most disputed and controversial games, but no need for that now.

@ZeframCochrane

Correct and right location. It's actually remix of the main theme

Hey - you already nailed one of my top "ace up the sleeve" so it doesn't give you the right to speak like that I tried also not to made it very easy but actually, quite a few of them could be called obscure and those are mostly indie ones i mentioned but even those are quite well known.

Btw, 3 of them are actually indy adventures and not 2 as i stated, as i forgot to count one of them that was pretty much "big" for an indie title. So, Shany already guessed one of them with "5 Days".

Later tonight there will be more hints.

[HandsFree]

I didn't know anything from the 2 previous quizzes, but here there are a few that sound familiar.
12 could be the main theme from Touche (don't know if it plays at a specific location).
11 is from A Vampyre Story, I think (in the town).

[diego]

Both are correct, nice work. #12 is indeed Touche main theme and #11 is A Vampyre Story bit of more of an ambient piece of music that probably plays at different places so thats why i was going to give the answer anyway to whomever just names the game. I know it plays at the potion table in Baroness' laboratory also so let me just name it like that.

1) 5 Days a Stranger - Opening (Shany)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6) Escape From Monkey Island - Scumm Bar (Shany)
7)
8)
9) Toonstruck - Study (Kurufinwe)

11) A Vampyre Story - Potion table (HandsFree)
12) Touché: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer - Main Theme (HandsFree)

Here's the first series of hints without giving too much away

2) And our hero is left speechless.
3) Hybrid adventure series.
4) Boy, did we want that sequel!
5) Prepare a garlic.
7) Those games surely are better then the movie!
8) Sounds like "Spanish picking".
10) Not exactly like Lesuire Suit Larrry.
14) Third in a series.
15) Again, third in a series.
16) First in a trilogy.
17) Switch between the two characters.
18) Indy adventure. Where's that sequel?
19) Again, hybrid-adventure series.
20) You can leave your hat on.

[Shany]

EDIT: Nevermind, I'll wait some more.

[MoP]

A belated thanks to Shany and diego for keeping this up.

I'll go ahead and nab the easy one (and only one I'm sure of):

Full Throttle, Todd's trailer in the junkyard (and it played during the credits I think?).
I could not get enough of that song And now I'm hooked on it again...

[Kurufinwe]

#2 is "I'm your Gal" from Al Emmo. It's as painful to listen to as the game is to play.

I know a couple more (+ some guesses based solely on the hints), but I'll wait a bit before posting them.

[diego]

@MoP

Of course - Chitlins, Whiskey & Skirt A nice song to a great soundtrack. I think you are right, it plays radio version at the trailer and regular during credits.

@Kurufinwe

Al Emmo it is. I can understand if you didn't like it, but once i got over Al's voice and character models i found it to be pretty enjoyable.

1) 5 Days a Stranger - Opening (Shany)
2) Al Emmo and The Lost Dutchman's Mine - I'm your Gal (Kurufinwe)
3)
4) Full Throttle - Todd's trailer/End credits (MoP)

16) Discworld I - Rincewind's Room
18) Tales of Bingwood - In the Village

[diego]

nicely done! #16 is Discworld indeed and #18 is Tales of Bingwood which was some of the more difficult tunes to guess. Both places are correct, too.

1) 5 Days a Stranger - Opening (Shany)
2) Al Emmo and The Lost Dutchman's Mine - I'm your Gal (Kurufinwe)

Some more hints

3. Second in a series. Maybe this song will help.
5. A Frogwares title. Heard right at the beginning.
7. The quiz is afoot!
8. It's sure is hotter here then in London! Or a Lapland.
10. It's not Larry, but not a Freddy Pharkas either.
14. In order to guess this one you'll need to use little grey cells.
15. This series can't be over! Oh well, i'll just listen to Mr. Shannon in the meantime.
17. A newer title. Lara Croft works for Interpol.
19. This one is a little too big to hint it.
20. You should play the game at a high noon.

[Kurufinwe]

OK, the last one I knew before the hints: #10 is from Torin's Pasage (the Lands Above).

Now, a guess: #14 could very well be from Under the Sun, possibly even the main menu. (If that's the case, I'm going to slap myself for needing two hints to recognise it...)

And I'm going to guess that #7 is from Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silver Earring, because I haven't played it. (That sentence makes sense -- in my weird mind. )

[diego]

All correct. And it's indeed the main theme of Evil Under the Sun played on menu also. The bit i posted is played a little later in the song so i predicted it could prove hard to guess. Good job, and you can just yourself now About Sherlock Holmes game, the song is related to a specific person rather than to a location.

1) 5 Days a Stranger - Opening (Shany)
2) Al Emmo and The Lost Dutchman's Mine - I'm your Gal (Kurufinwe)
3)
4) Full Throttle - Todd's trailer/End credits (MoP)
5)
6) Escape From Monkey Island - Scumm Bar (Shany)
7) Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring - Which person?
8)
9) Toonstruck - Study (Kurufinwe)
10) Torin's Passage - The Land Above (Kurufinwe)
11) A Vampyre Story - Potion table (HandsFree)
12) Touché: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer - Main Theme (HandsFree)
13) Runaway: A Road Adventure - Divas Disco Mix (ZeframCochrane)
14) Agatha Christie: Evil Under the Sun - Main Theme (Kurufinwe)
15)
16) Discworld I - Rincewind's Room (Shany)
17)
18) The Tales of Bingwood: Chapter I - To Save a Princess - In the Village (Shany)
19)
20)

Allright, 7 more to go. I'm sure you heard of all of these titles although some bits of them could prove hard to place. Now, there are two hybrid adventures to guess - #3 and #19 which are fantasy adventures with arcade and rpg elements. Both of these games come from the French developer. I'm surprised one of them is still not guessed as it's a fan favourite and the song is the main theme. About the other game, although it's a hybrid adventure it comes from one of the most known french adventure developer. The song is placed while our hero travels to a distant town. Now, more specific hints:

3) Or maybe THIS song will help. If not, then just watch the movie. Second in a series.

5) Professor in the main role. The song is played in a women apartment.

8) Another professor in the main role. He is not in Madagascar either. The song is played on guitar (obviosly) but you can actually see it.

15) A part of the series that was already guessed. The song is played when one of two playable characters figures something.

17) Another game with two playable characters and i am sure you are looking at it right NOW. I heard that St. Petersburg's museums are rather nice.

19) No, i mean it's a REALLY a LITTLE TOO BIG to hint it!

20) Spanish Spaghetti.

[Shany]

7) I'm pretty sure it's one of the two pieces of music that play in Holmes' Apartment.
8) Agon 4 (dunno where)
15) Runaway 3 (dunno where)
19) Little Big Adventure - Theme

(come on people, the hints make these very easy)

Kurufinwe

Ouch!

[diego]

@Shany #7 Right, it's played in the apartmement, now we just need to determine which theme is that - it could be either Holmes' or Watson's Ok, it's Watson theme

#8 Agon it is - The Lost Sword of Toledo. Since this one is not really a regular soundtrack let me just reveal it - it's played by Domingo the guitar player in Plaza de la Mancha. The AGON games had some really nice touches to it beside exotic scenes and puzzles, as you could for instance hear some culturual pieces of music. I really hope that their embark into casual adventuring doesn't mean we won't see more of the full-length AGON adventures.

#15 Runaway 3 - Of course. It's played while Brian is planing something.

#19 Little Big Adventure - Right you are
