In this weekly feature, I take several pieces of music from different video games and play them in reverse. Your job is to figure out what song it is and what game it's from. They are put in order from easiest to hardest (from my perspective), and cover the full range of games, from retro to new, from popular to obscure. Also, there's a extra "WTF/bonus" track that is from regular music, TV or movies that I put in as an extra challenge, or because it sounds especially odd played backwards.



Still no prizes yet, but I'll keep a scoreboard for bragging rights:

1. EnoSachran: 4
2. Changston: 1
2. Bulkmailer: 1
2. Anonymouse: 1



Here's the answers to last week's puzzle, and who got each right. I had the misfortune of posting it right before the Pokemon meme overwhelmed the cblogs, so only two out of the five were answered. I'm hoping this was bad luck, rather than a lack of interest:

#1) Easy: Mario 64, "Bob-omb Battlefield". (Anonymouse)
#2) Medium: Starfox Assault, "Wolf's Theme".
#3) Hard: Final Fantasy IV, "Town Theme".
#4) Hard: Fallout 3, "Butcher Pete". (Bulkmailer)
#5) WTF: Dragonball, "Opening: Masafushigi Adventure".



Since I have to wait until the end of the month to get Megaman 10 on XBLA, I've decided to make this edition of Reversed Music Mind Teasers to be Megaman themed. Since Megaman has some of the best video game music of all time, I've increased the track count to seven! The first six are from the Classic and X series (sorry to all you lovers of Legends, Zero, Battle Network, etc.), while the last is from something Megaman-related that isn't a game.



The tracks run thirty seconds each, so you can skip around easily. The selections are (with clues):

#1) Easy: Don't listen to this before going to an AA meeting.
#2) Easy: The second siege is always the hardest.
#3) Medium: ...a pocket full of posies...
#4) Hard: I was blown away the first time I heard this track.
#5) Hard: Get the next generation started!
#6) Hard: Jim Sterling would approve.
#7) WTF: Gutsman's Ass.
