[Kurufinwe]

Yup.

[KriD]

Is it Under a Killing Moon? I've only played that, but it could be Overseer.

[Kurufinwe]

Neither, actually (Pandora Directive).

A few hints

04. (0:44) This one is tricky, as (1) the game is not all that well-known and (2) the extract is from the official soundtrack CD and arranged differently than the in-game version. Still, if you've played it, you must have spent hours there searching for an item that had no sensible reason for being there, so the tune might have stuck.
07. (1:47) Lori Ann Cole was involved.
11. (3:18) Love it or hate it, you've all played it, so don't pretend not to remember.
15. (4:34) Now, I thought everyone around here loooooved that game; fakers.
18. (5:10) That one should be an open and shut case.
20. (5:49) If, like most, you've had to replay that sequence a hundred times, you can't have forgotten the music.
27. (7:27) There's a slight twist here.
33. (9:24) NOOOO indeed.

[AFGNCAAP]

I have no idea which part of PoI is #13 from, but if I had to guess, I'd say Schlossadler Base / Professor's recording.

#34 is Fahrenheit.

Your clues for #7 and #15 narrow the possibilities pretty well, but I don't want to start shooting in the dark just yet - maybe someone who really recognizes them will come along.

Nope.

#34 must be Fahrenheit, then.

Yup.
(I'm not going to ask where, since it just plays on Lucas' stereo)

So that's 15/36 then.

[Ledz]

Ok, here's what I've got..

#16 is the music that plays when you're hunting pixies.
#21(I guess?) is from Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out, the pool music.
#30 is from Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis, I think it's from when you go through the canals in Atlantis.

All good (except that LSL6 is #22; there's a short cue before it)!

(and that's 17/36; almost halfway through!)

[Huz]

I lost track of the numbers, but I recognise these unclaimed ones by crosschecking with the clues:

15) Grim Fandango - somewhere in Rubacava
30) Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - the canals [Edit - damn you Ledz, damn you ]

Woo.

[Kurufinwe]

And we've reached 18/36. Congratulations!

A few more hints (see also post #43)

The extracts were chosen from the files sitting on my hard drive, which reflect the games I've liked, or at least played. It's therefore not surprising that there are 11 detective games, 7 French games (+ 2 from Quebec!), 7 Sierra games, and 5 'hybrids' (in a relatively broad sense, which would include, say, QfG and Fahrenheit, but not Conquests of the Longbow) in the list.

[ollie]

I'm listening to the medley right now and I think I've recognized a few of the pieces with the corresponding place/event:

03: Laura Bow II - The Dagger Of Amon Ra (Luigi, the sandwich vendor);
09: Sanitarium (the mansion);
11: Myst (main Myst theme).

10: The Pandora Directive (if I'm not mistaken it's the music played when Tex says to Regan that her father is dead).

I hope to find more soon

[Kurufinwe]

Brilliant! Everything's correct for the moment.

[ollie]

Two more, hopefully correct...

17: Myst IV Revelation (The Predator);
18: The 7th Guest (Coffin Dance).

[Kurufinwe]

Yup.

[Ledz]

I'm gonna take a wild poke at QFG4 for number 7 then, and guess that it's music from Erana's place, sounds kinda pastoral-ish...

I think that 24 is from the Monkey Island 2 Cemetery? not sure, but it's almost definitely a monkey island thing..

18 and 19 are driving me nuts!!!! I know them so well and I can't put my finger on it.. 19 is too damned short!!! (no it isn't, I'm just whining)

I'm afraid you're quite cold... which might be a good thing.

We've already got MI2 and 3 covered, so it's either 1 or 4, or not MI.

18 and 19 are driving me nuts!!!! I know them so well and I can't put my finger on it.. 19 is too damned short!!! (no it isn't, I'm just whining)

See above for 18. 19 must be all the more unnerving that it's so fresh in your mind...

[ollie]

...and the last one I've recognised (for now):

26: Kyrandia 3 Malcolm's Revenge (Coral Hipness, played in the fish world)

About #35: well it's definitely Gabriel Knight's theme, but I never heard it like that... at least as far as I can remember...

[Kurufinwe]

26 is good; and there's definitely something odd with #35.

So... 24/36.

Hints for the remaining ones (see also posts #43 and #49)

04. There's something fishy about that one.
06. That's the Blue Danube, not the Danse Macabre.
07. Lori Ann Cole doesn't necessarily mean QfG. Nor does "was involved" necessarily mean "designed", for that matter.
14. Not Shipwreck Island, but hardly more hospitable.
19. Beautiful sunset. And a bit of exercise.
20. DIE, BITCH, DIE!
21. DIE, BITCH, DIE! (again? )
24. A chase, obviously. Which requires long corridors. Or bridges. With lots of doors.
25. This one's tricky, because you've probably never heard that part of the piece inside the game. Still, the style should be fairly recognisable.
27. A seeress in the East.
29. That game's a hybrid. With no action sequences.
33. That game's a hybrid. With nothing but action sequences.

[ski]

wild guess, 20 - broken sword I

edit: NOPE!

[Terramax]

I'm up for this game. However, I wouldn't have guessed the two so far.

[Kontra]

15. Grim Fandango: Year II - Rubacava, Maximino's Office ?

God I love that song! Old jazz... ah.
