3/4 of 'em are familiar, but I can only definitively name four of the fourteen.  I am le suck.

Keep checking back for new hints, I knew some would be hard without them.  I'm adding a couple new ones a day or this is gonna take forever.  Nobody is even ready to move onto phase 2 yet as far as I know.  Are you in it for the prize or just for the glory?  I hope to hear some more chatter from sunteam_paul, csgx1, incrediblehark, Dicer, EvilEvoIX, Lost Monkey & Punch, too.  Don't give up! :)

The hints so far have been for the easiest ones. :P

I'll try to make time to tonight to sit down at a computer, ive them a proper listen and put together a list for fun.

Tell me which ones you think are the tough ones!  You said 13 before, right?

Here's a mini hint:  I personally think #1, #2, #14 are easiest.

I'll figure out which are the trickiest to pin down later. #6 is the easiest, followed by #2. #14 would be tough if that track didn't have its own thread here and been discussed so much in the past.

#13 has got to be the toughest if you don't identify it just by hearing it. You won't find it by skipping tracks on CD games and listening to the first bit of music.

#1 is the track I expect to have to track down, as it's too familiar and too many games have similar ambient background sounds.

#1 should be familiar to a lot of people right now and I'll drop a hint why later.  Necro already knows the reason since he recognized it!

I agree with #2 being easy if you've played it (and you all should have!).  I didn't participate in any threads about #14 to my recollection but it is a popular game all the same and I knew a ton of people would easily get it.  I agree with #13 being tough.  It's one of my favorite games (I have multiple CD soundtracks and remix albums of it) but I will drop a bigger clue later on.  I think had someone picked this track for me, I would recognize it immediately but not be able to place it, at least right away.

You might wanna tell Esteban #6 is easy!  I think I pulled a dick move on that one too.  I will explain later on either by using it as a hint or after this is all over.

I have about 9/14 for definite. Others may require further investigation as I still can't figure out the secret phrase from them.

Yup, that distinctive creature noise helped me narrow it down to two games. And now...ONE.

I am still stuck on the same 3-4 games as when i first listened to this.

WELL, except for B_T's hint! Ha!


10/14 now.  I just knew #13 was what I thought it was, just had to confirm it!

Damn you! You posted that as I was posting. Now the pressure is ON!

I AM GOING OUTSIDE TO PLAY WITH MY KIDS IN ICY FLURRIES, but I'll try to listen to some PCE tunes...

1 is frustrating me because I know it sound like something but can't quite mentally place it.

PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE: You should know this one! You often mentioned it.

OR MAYBE I AM LYING.

You will be stuck on this track long enough for me to catch up!

Currently stuck on 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14.  :lol:

I think I'd do better if the tunes were a bit longer, as I'm sure everyone would.

<edit>

Scratch #6.  I don't know how I missed that one earlier on, as it should be le obvious.  :oops:

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.
