Name that tune!

Drats! Should've realised that!

Maybe SiamJai will let us split the point.

No, why would he? your description wasn't accurate enough to get to the right song, but SiamJai was kind enough to hint that you were on the right track. Next time check before suggesting.

That's very kind of you Sergio, and part of me wants to do that, recognizing the effort both of you had in coming up with the right answer. But if I did, I'd have to split points every time more than one person had a role in guessing a song, and that'd quickly lead to confusion. So I can accept only one answer, the one that passed the rule of thumb, and that's yours.

Sorry bumper, you were this close! But no worries, there'll be more songs from that era, and if your name indicates what I think it does, you'll have an easy time getting 'em right!

Added #7 and #8 to the list yesterday. Both come from more recent games than any of the solved ones 'till now. Good luck!

I'm thinking that #8 is the Final Fantasy X theme/intro. Which is epic by the way, thanks for playing it.

But Knytt Stories came out six years after Final Fantasy X.

#7 is very very easy. This very forumgame, thats where this tune is heard! What did I win?

Will a virtual pat on your back suffice? Would've gotten more if your answer passed the rule of thumb, but any random person unfamiliar with the game would not find the tune by that description alone, so...

Thanks! Just chalk that up to senility...

You're welcome, I'm glad you like it. ^_^ And YT says that the title's correct, so up on the list you go!

Ooh, number 7 is the rainy day theme from the original Animal Crossing!

Yes, it totally is!!! ^_^

I remember, you got some of the most obscure ones in the last forumgame too. Glad you're playing again - I'm counting on you, Gorf!

Edit:
Well, you guys are getting 'em so fast, I can hardly keep up! But #9 and #10 are already up for grabs. Whew! We've reached double digits now, which could be a sign that the game isn't a total failure. Let's see how far we can go! 

Looks like I lucked out getting here first. 10 is Great Fairy's Fountain from the Legend of Zelda series.

Early bird and all that, hmm? 

Yep, it's correct. Good one, Ego! ^_^

If it goes too fast for you, I can look into providing a few too. I can play some game music on my keyboard as well and also record it to youtube.

Wow really? That'd be awesome, Leon! Would be really neat if this could turn into a 'Niffboard game-tunes jam'. ^_^


Feel free to update the OP video links and player scores.

Are we gonna get some clues or maybe new tunes?

I planned to go to a piano practice room and record a bunch yesterday, but couldn't make it. I'll get some on the keyboard soon instead, once I manage to stop the neighbors from banging on the wall and threatening with the police.

Clues:
#4: the game appeared on the earlier Nifflas forum.
#5: 'Last Imagination'
#9: 'grabseed'

• #11: a well-known tune outside the gaming world as well, but remember that we're after its game appearance.
• #12: a short fragment, but very recent and popular.
• #13: ...
