Profile: I'm a longtime gamer, and started playing video games during the transition from the NES to the SNES. Although I like retro games, I play mostly newer games on the 360. Still, my favourite gaming memories are from all-nighters filled with Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Smash Bros. in the late 90s.

I'm looking for a career in public service, politics or other fields where research and writing are critical. Though, the closer it's related to games, the better.

I make videos, animated gifs, podcasts and all kinds of random stuff in my spare time. I'm also trying to develop my own gaming website (details coming eventually).

Systems: NES, Super NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo 64, Wii, Sega Genesis, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, PC, Colecovision (my dad's). Also, many other systems (including arcade) that I not emulate.

Some Favourite Games:
Retro (NES-SNES eta): Megaman 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Sonic 3, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Robotrek, Illusion of Gaia, Megaman X, Lufia 1 and 2, Strider, Metal Slug, Twilight Zone pinball.

Retro Limbo (N64 era): Ogre Battle 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mystical Ninja starring Goemon, Goemon's Great Adventure, Descent: Freespace.

Modern: Halo: Reach, Modern Warfare 2, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Tales of Vesperia, Fallout 3, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 1-3, Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam, Hearts of Iron II, Europa Universalis III, Civilization IV.

Music Mind Teasers Vol. 15: [MISSING] Edition!
Guncannon \| 1:44 PM on 06.25.2010	6 comments

In this Friday feature, I take several pieces of music from different video games and mess them up somehow (like playing in reverse). Your job is to figure out what songs they are and what games they're from.

1st: Batthink: 9
2nd: Blorp: 6
3rd: Pencoin: 2
4th: odber, etirflita: 1

Season 1 Winner: odber.

Here's the answers to last week's puzzle, and who got each one right:

#1) Easy: Final Fantasy VI - Celes' Theme (Blorp)
#2) Medium: Street Fighter IV - Volcanic Rim (Batthink)
#3) Medium: Halo - Main Theme (Batthink)
#4) Hard: Star Fox 64 - Area 6 (No one)
#5) WTF: James Bond Theme (Batthink)

This week I'm going back to "Cutbacks", tracks where some of the instrumentation (often, the main melody) has been removed. Unfortunately, so far I'm only able to do this with SNES music, so all of this week's songs are from that system.

The tracks run about 30 seconds each. Here are the clues:

#1) Easy: Cyrus should recognize this.
#2) Medium: I'M ON A BOAT!
#3) Medium: This song isn't really tied to a level. Just give me the game and where you generally hear it.
#4) Hard: Man, the full version of this song really lights you up!
#5) WTF?: Yes, this is from a game. But, which one?

Good Luck!

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I don't have audio at work, but I'll try to guess some from the hints . . .
1) Chrono Trigger - Frog's Theme (I don't think there was a song dedicated to Cyrus)
3) Final Fantasy II?
5) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars?

Hahaha! Also, check your email mate! =P

Changston

1) Frog's Theme
2) Donkey Kong Country - King K.Rool Battle Theme

We still doing that thing where we only post 2 per day to give other people a shot?

Guncannon

@Funktastic:

OH SHI...I missed your email! Sorry.

@Changston:

For a regular week (with five songs), I'll just say that people can't answer all five first, and you can answer up to three. However, once someone has guessed a song, you can provide a more precise answer (e.g., "Final Fantasy VI Battle Music" to "Final Fantasy VI - Fierce Battle")) to "steal" that answer, without counting as one of your three guesses.

I'll try and remember to add rules for next week.

Changston

Gotcha.

Also, #3 is Secret of Mana. I know it pops up throughout, but I guess it's the first overworld music before you head back to Potos.

Batthink

#4 is Spark Mandrill - Mega Man X.
#5 is the theme for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers game (made in 1994)!

Blorp

Since I can apparently steal away stuff....

#1 Chrono Trigger - Frog's theme
#2 Donkey Kong Country - Gang-Plank Galleon
#3 No clue... if it's Secret of Mana, I haven't played it yet...
#4 Megaman X - Electromagnetic Power Plant (Spark Mandrill Theme)
#5 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - Main Theme (SNES) *Don't give me this one

This week was easy, too bad I was working all day and completely forgot about it ;)
