I got 14 out of 18. I used to clues, not the sounds. I don't have speakers at work!!!

I double I could do it again though...

I got 15 out of 18, BUT...
Out of 5-6 versions of Frogger I've played, I've NEVER heard him die like that.
On the zelda question, the audio was WAY off. That is NOT what it sounds like, so I picked bad dudes just because I wasn't familiar with sounds from that game, and knew it wasn't zelda.
I DID miss the joust one, just my fault.

15/18!

I'll admit I guessed or used process of elimination on a few.

12.

I agree with Zelda and Frogger though. The Zelda one I thought was Bad Dudes, the text rolling in the intro or something.

17 here. I'd say 15 I knew and a couple lucky guesses. Although since I'm 34 I grew up listening to those sounds 3-4 hours a day sometimes.

12 out of 18.

The test was fun, a little off, especially on that zelda one. But still, overall, I'm glad to waste 5 minutes with it!

Several of them I got just by the hints. I have to admit, I had to guess on the last one (between Zelda and Final Fantasy) because I haven't played either one. :eek 2:

I managed to get 17 out of 18 (yes, I guessed on a couple). :)

I missed the Zelda one as well. Glad I'm not the only one who didn't think it was right.

11/18... but I agree on Frogger and Zelda. For Burger Time, I guess it was my fault... but I swear I've never heard that song. And I was a bit trigger-happy for the Berzerk one and picked the wrong answer (I didn't listen to the whole sound...)

EDIT: BTW I'm 15.

Being old has its advantages. LOL

I'll second (or third or 4th) the Frogger complaint.

I got the Zelda one right, but for the wrong reasons. I thought it sounded like an offkey fairy-refuelling.

I don't know, the Frogger sounded like it was from the arcade to me. At least it sounds like that on MAME.

17/18 I missed the ET one, which makes sense because I have never played that game for more than 5 mins. So I guessed Ikari Warriors, it kinda sounded like a flamethrower. LOL :angry:

13 for me, not bad I guess. I am only 14.

13/15. Not really that bad, but some of those REALLY didn't sound right. Like that Bad Dudes question, that didn't sound like the Zelda life alert sound to me.

Course, I got 18 the next time.....

Yeah, the Frogger one sounded fine to me also.

The Zelda one was way off.

I got 13/18 myself - missed most of the ones I did because I hadn't played any of the three choices. @_@

I thought I'd get crushed since I'm a newbie... but I'm an OLD newbie and I kicked its ass! LOL

17/18 (missed Joust... argh)

Frogger is dead on, BTW. The audio is straight from the arcade game which I grew up with.

15/18, I jumped the gun on the ET one and I believe super challange baseball and another one I didn't know. The zelda one was so shitty but after replaying it that heart beeping sound was stuck in my head for days....damn speakers!

14/18. I should have done better. Not all, but atleast 2 of those I got wrong I should have known. Q-bert......

I got 12 of 18. There were some of those older Atari games that I never played making them a little harder. For some inane reason I got the first Pac-Man question wrong.

I got Zelda right, its problem is just that the beep beep is playing too fast. Slow it up and its right on. I thought bad dudes for a second, but couldnt remember any beeps in the game so I went back to Zelda.

Another slightly annoying one (that no one would have gotten with out the laugh) was the Duck Hunt one. Now were those first four sounds suppose to be the wings flapping or gun shots? They did 4 of them, but you could never shoot more than 3 rounds. I dunno...

The ET one had the word "pieces" in the question (as in Reese's Pieces). The Q-Bert question mentioned something about "the language". Unfortunately, I didn't even need the sounds on those (although I knew them).

13 out of 18. Funny, I got all of the heavy metal ones right, but I had a hard time getting the a couple of the easier ones.

16 out of 18

I thought ET was Asteroids and Zelda was Bad Dudes.

I guess I'm an old fart now.

Haha, only one person here did worse than me. I got 8/18. Would've helped if I actually had played half of those games before... I kept hoping and hoping that they'd have some more modern games (which would personally make it more fun for me), but no such luck. It's ironic because I'm very big on game music and sound (I own a ton of official soundtracks), but give me NES or later... I did screw myself over a couple times, though, by second-guessing myself, and that Zelda one was total crap. :/
