Contest: Power Golf 2

[Necromancer]

I think some would be too easy if I included a longer section!  It's tough to gauge I think, but I subscribe to the "Name that Tune" mentality, you only need a few familiar bars to recognize something.

Sure, the snippets you gave are quite fair in length, I'm just too dumb / tone deaf / forgetful to be able to place 'em all.

I think I've got #11 now, so only one more to the halfway point!

Currently stuck on 1, 3, 10 & 11.

Check the hints!  I think they might be of some help to you.  I'll be trying to think of a good clue for #10 in the meantime.

Good job!  I am looking forward to a taste of my own medicine when this is over, I'm actually a little jealous I can't play along.

HOLY CR@P!

3 & 6 should not have been hard, but I was thinking of completely different games and couldn't think "outside the box".

CURRENTLY STUCK ON: 9, 10, 12, 13.

Although I will likely get similarily stuck when I sit down and check them all, I seriously don't believe that you are really stuck on #6. You must have the numbers mixed up or something. It's like matching the Bonk's Revenge title screen music.

I am honestly looking forward to hitting a mind block like that though.

[esteban]

^ Yeah, when I correctly identified #6 and #3, I was like, "DOH!"

I figured out both by NOT trying to think about it. No joke.

I am pleased you finally figured out #11!  You literally wrote the book on it!

Got a chance to go over them. Have to stop, but have figured out all so far except for 4, 7 and 10.

Edit: just figured out number 4 using only the power of my mind. The reason I couldn't focus on it before, is that the Akira and kabuki sounds trigger images of different things and it also reminds me too much of the intro to the Ministry song Breathe.

I wasn't sure if 4 would be tough or not, I think I would recognize any song from that game easily as I used to just play it in my CD walkman all the time.  Nice work on getting it though, I think that puts you in the lead maybe with 12/14 figured out.  I will start having to give out secret phrase clues soon, not just yet though.

I've got about half figured out for sure a few more I am not totes sure, but I haven't had time to sit with it...

Even if I don't come close, this has been great fun the bit of time I have had.

Good shit

#1 turned out to be my first guess, but the game I had planned on checking next would have also lined up with new hint, which I found afterward. So it's not as much of a giveaway as it might seem.

Thanks Dice, glad you are digging it.  Keep checking back for the new clues though, I think I am going to wait until tomorrow to post any more.

Oh good!  I think only one of my clues is a dead giveaway.  Another possibly if your google-fu is good.

P.S. Here's an old episode of "Name that Tune" to keep your spirits up.  Sandy's intensity has me rolling.  This woman could kill someone just with that stare, I'm pretty sure.  She's awesome.

Holy snap, all of my "guesses" (based on memory) are so very, very wrong when I listen to actual tunes.

I can't let Black_Tiger or Paul beat me, but don't know if I'll get these last 3...


UPDATE: Sandy! Sandy! Holy snap, the *only* song I would have gotten was the one she messed up (theme from I Love Lucy). Sandy! So intense...

[johnnykonami]

More hints added!  Use the power of Sandy within you!

I'm not coming up with any more answers, but look at that lil mouse.  Ain't he cute?

I know, I recently acquired a couple PCE Mouse games, I should get one.  One of em' is even thanks to my awesome Secret Santa - Vasteel 2!  That has all kinds of compatible stuff I don't have.  MB128, Mouse, Arcade Card (I know, for shame.  One day!).
