Adventure Game Sound..uh game
 

Here's a new idea I concocted based on Captain Blondebeard thread. :P

Simple as this.. name the game based on the short audio clip you hear. Ok it's not as easy to create audio as it is to copy and paste a game scene, but for you resourceful ones out there, I'm sure we could upload a few here and there. I recorded a section of a game with fraps, converted to wmv and extracted the audio as mp3. It's not much bigger than the size of a jpg. I'll try and make a few more. Whoever gets this can either have a go themselves or pass it on to someone else. See how it goes anyway.

Try this one.

'Actually, recording sound is a doddle. Anyone without any better way to, download The trial version of ARWizard. That lets you record up to three minutes of sound from your soundcard in any one go.

That said, I don't know what the game is.

Jeysie also started a game like this a little while ago. ;)

Cool. Does this allow direct recording from game straight to mp3 and is the file size quite small for about, say, 15 seconds of audio?

ffs, people don't even try and be entertained. Nobody has even attempted to guess the game from a lousy 200kb file. What a waste of time.

Well, there is the Adventure Scene Game, the Non-adventure scene game, The Non-adventure quote game and I started the Adventure Trivia Game knowing full well it could bomb. Maybe there's just too many games for people to pay attention to.

I've come to realize that some threads just don't take off. Part of forum life, I guess. :)

Fair enough. But you'd think with the dozens of members who frequent this forum that maybe one or two would be somewhat interested in attempting to play. If it was a 5mb file I could understand, but it's just over 200kb, lol. Never mind eh:crazy:

I did? Heh! ...I did?

Anyhoo. You could also try Game Audio Player to extract sound clips directly, although it can take a while to find the exact clip you want that way.

As for the sound clip, I listened to it yesterday, but I can't place it. The only game I can remember playing straight off-hand that had the main character asking after hotel guests is Gabriel Knight 3, and I don't think I remember the clerk having that sort of accent.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Thanks jeysie. I must say, I looked up threads under your name yesterday and didn't find a similar sound game thread as melanie had said.

This soundbite is from a game made in 2002. Reviews were generally mixed. AG thought it was shocking apart from the graphics and story, and JA gave it a pretty high score. On here, a lot of people said it wasn't very good, but some kinda liked it as a shortish adventure game.

I was wrong about it being Jeysie (sorry) but someone had started a thread posting a piece of music from a game and asking what game scene it was from. I thought it was Jeysie because she's done some game music stuff before.

I'll see if I can find so I don't look like a complete ass. :P

Oh! *That* I remember! :D I posted some music from Sanitarium.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Whew, now I know I'm not completely senile! :D

If this thread were to take off ( unlikely by the looks of things) I was thinking, apart from just dialogue snippets, it might be fun to post either main theme or incidental music from a game and try to tell the game just from the music.

Based on your hints I'll guess Post Mortem.

We have a winner. :)

Yay. :D

You can make a new one if you want, Roman. Or anyone else.

I'll try and rustle one up, meanwhile, anyone is free to upload one if they want.

Here's another one I just took out the oven. I haven't played this enough yet, only a little way into it. But I think you're gonna find this very easy. It's music only, and from a famous game.

http://freespace.virgin.net/roman.five/mysterygame2.mp3

I don't recognise it at all :(

Ah, I love that music. Gabriel Knight 3.

This man knows his games. :P

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? :P), 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.

No problem.
I guess you mean #10. And no, it's not GK3. :P (but I see why one could think it is)
Yup. (but that's #12) That's the music from the game launcher, but it probably also appears elsewhere in the game.
Nope. (I guess you meant #13)
(23) You're right. Where did it play, again?
(28) Yes. It's the archeologists' guild (quite obvious from the theme ;)).
(32) Right game, wrong place. Too aggressive for a nice Alpine village.
(35) Indeed, but where? (trick question)
Of course.

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

Then it's Komkolzgrad.

The map?

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.

Yes.
No. I'll leave the question open in case someone knows (that'd be ATMachine's kind of stuff).

You're late. :P
Anything from 4-5 seconds to 40ish. I don't think there's anything 2 seconds long, though.
Definitely (main theme).
(#13) Yes, it really has POI written all over it (I think). Any idea on the location?
(#16) Yes, and if you'd taken part in the playthrough, you'd know where exactly. :P
Sorry, no.
(#31) A memorable part from a memorable game.
Shame on you! It's the whistle from the intro and conclusion (where the game gives you lots of suggestions to lead a more interesting life).
That was #28 (Discworld); it's a parody.

OK, so that's 12/36. A third. I'm sure you guys can do better.

8 - And Then There Were None?

Yes. Any idea where/when?

In the game menu

Nope (but close).

Beginning of chapters?

Yup. :)

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

Most definitely. Regan's hanging around somewhere.

Is it #10? (the one I thought was GK3)
