Why Battlefield 1943 is the worst game EVER!
Age: 23
Location: Ottawa, ON, Canada.
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.

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. 
1. EnoSachran: 4 1. Odber: 4 2. Bulkmailer: 2 3. Anonymouse: 1 3. Changston: 1 3. Wryguy: 1 
Here's the answers to last week's puzzle, and who got each right. Megaman seemed to be relatively popular, and people got all but one right: #1) Easy: Megaman X, Armored Armadillo (Odber) #2) Easy: Megaman 2, Wily Castle (Odber) #3) Medium: Megaman 4, Ring Man (Wry Guy) #4) Hard: Megaman 9, Tornado Man (Odber) #5) Hard: Megaman X4, Opening Stage (No one got this. No love for the PS1 Megaman games?) #6) Hard: Megaman 3, Snake Man (Bulkmailer) #7) WTF: Megaman US Cartoon Opening (Odber) 
Well, I couldn't think up a theme for this week, other than the fact that there are no NES songs. Of course, I'm sure that you would figure that out upon hearing them The tracks run thirty seconds each, so you can skip around easily. The selections are (with clues): #1) Easy: Son of a submariner! Everyone should get this right away. #2) Medium: Wet Municipality. #3) Hard: This game is a bit obscure, so I'll give it to whoever identifies the game. It's like Star Trek, but more mechanical. #4) Hard: I'm sure you'll know there are two possible games that "fit" this music. I'll field your questions about it, until I terminate the puzzle. #5) WTF: A one-time hero, working for a monarch.

I give a point to whoever gets each song right first. You provided only one "new" answer last week.
#5 is killing me, dying to know.
Don't be a lazy-bee.
#1 Final Fantasy 6 - Kefka music
That's 'On Her Majesty's Secret Serivce' by John Barry and his orchestra. The 'one-time hero' is the reference to George Lazenby. ;O)
Congrats, Batthink. I thought Robotrek and OHMSS would be stumpers.
I'll see about that (doing a non-reversed one), perhaps once I'm running low on my mainstays from Megaman, Final Fantasy, etc. Another idea is to take a very recognizable track (like the Mario theme) and run it through an Audacity blender (using as many effects as possible).
