Name that NES tune!




Posted by Luigi182

Let's start a new game--Name that NES tune! Similar to name that screenshot, but with music. Just post a link to an NES tune and let people guess. The person who gets it correct can post another themself or ask for another tune from someone else. Got it? Good, Here's your first tune:

http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/victory.mid

And because vgmusic won't let you outside link, just cut and paste the above url into your browser.

Is that from 'Dr. Mario'?

*Waits for confirmation*




Posted by Luigi182

You are indeed correct! :D

It is the victory music from Dr. Mario.

Now you can post a tune yourself! If you do not want to, I can post another for you.

Let's see... I'll try to host this...

Here is a low quality mp3 of an actual NES game music rip.

It's about 400kB (hopefully not too big for most of you). It's one of the most "sinister" melodies I've ever heard from any game ever! Still one of my all-time favorites.

That sir, is from Castlevania 2:Simon's Quest. Dracula's lair right before you are about to fight him...

Now, I'm so confident I'm right, I'll post the next one:

http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/Albatros.mid

And as before, cut and paste into a new window as vgmusic doesn't allow offsite linking.

Bingo!

As for that last one...

That is from 'Bionic Commando'. Yes.
It's a Level theme, I believe.

I'm going to pretend to be confident now and post the next tune.

Posted by Luigi182

I must admit, you've got me stumped. The tune is reminiscent from a Capcom game, although I can't quite put my finger on which one.

You were correct about Bionic Commando, btw. :)

Perhaps a "hint" is in order...

It's the title theme from a side-scrolling adventure game developed by Hudson Soft as a spin-off game to a series that was originally made by Falcom.

Well, I believe the game you speak of is Faxanadu?

*awaits conformation*

Correctly conformed! (Sorry for the delay.)
'Faxanadu' was the spin-off title from Falcom's earlier 'Xanadu' series.


Okay you go now (or anyone else who actually visits this board).

Cool! :lol:

Alrighty then, I thought perhaps this thread had died... Let me see...

As before, since vgmusic doesn't like off-sit linking, just cut and paste the above text into a new window.

Cheers!

Is that from Double Dragon?

Ducktales? Ducktales 2?

(I would really try to look it up, but "guessing" is so much fun.)



Posted by Luigi182

No and no. Think about it. You are getting very close Zen as it is a Disney game.

Here is a clue: There is a terror that flaps in the night.

I may have made it a wee bit too obvious now.




Posted by bazariah

i am the terror that flaps in the night..... i am the milk that covers your cornflakes

the answer would be darkwing duck :D




Posted by Luigi182

You are indeed correct Baz. :D Now your turn to come up with a tune.

My browser seems to freeze up whenever I try "paste-ing" the link (I'm using Firefox, which is usually excellent). Perhaps I'm missing a plug-in.

However, I have no problem doing a "right click, save as" with vgmusic links. Weird.

I have the same problem when I try to use Mozilla. So I often cut and paste into IE and the link works fine.

And just a simple reminder, Baz, since you were the last one to get it right, it's your turn to come up with a tune for us to guess.



Posted by Luigi182

Well, it's been a couple of days... So I'll assume Baz doesn't want to submit one and submit another.

As before cut and paste into a new window.




Posted by Cronoan

I've been trying for days to no avail. Can you at least give a hint? :(




Posted by Luigi182

Ok a hint, this game, published by Vic Tokai had a graphical style which was heavily influenced by anime. A rarity, as at the time of it's release(1989), very few games were. Of course, you couldn't tell by the box art as it depicted a scene from what looked like a Flash Gordon movie.

Quoting Luigi182: http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/rki_clash1.mid

Could it be from 'Clash At Demonhead'?



Posted by Luigi182

You are correct Zen! As the the rules state, it is now your turn to post the next tune!




Posted by ZEN

[code]http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/abb-bgma.mid[/code]

Not the most accurate MIDI version but still a good song.




Posted by Luigi182

Hmmm... I'm having a hard time placing this one...




Posted by ZEN

Hint:
Alligators...
swamp...
Jeep...
?




Posted by Tyler Durden

The Adventures of Bayou Billy?




Posted by ZEN


Quoting Sadistic Grin: The Adventures of Bayou Billy?

That would indeed be the correct game.

OK now my turn to "guess".

Gah, most tunes from VGMusic have the game name in the URL. There's gotta be a way to prevent that... Oh well.

http://vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/CB_Startropics.mid

You can probably tell without actually listening to it...

[quote=ZEN](Because showing off my NES knowledge is the true sign of manliness.)

Whatever happened to chest hair being the true sign?

*Listens to it anyway*

Uh... 'StarTropics'?
I could be wrong though...

But in case I'm not, here is the next NES midi tune from a place that's not vgmusic.

[QUOTE=Zeta]Whatever happened to chest hair being the true sign?

No way. Any man/woman can grow some chest hair, but naming the music from NES games is what really defines a "true man".



Posted by Luigi182

That one would be from a game called Blaster Master.




Posted by neofreak91

sound like Final Fantasy ?

Quoting Luigi182: That one would be from a game called Blaster Master.

That would be correct.
Quick! Somebody hit me with another tune.
