i love that you included death road to canada music on this list, despite being a small game it was genuinely some of the best fun ive had with friends
I'm so impressed by the sheer effort you put into making this quiz. It's so well made and really fun. Kudos to you for all the effort it really came out well. If you make more my friend and I will certainly play them!
Thank you so much. I'll definitely do one more. I just don't know WHEN it will come out. But i'll at least prepare a list during the next month or so. I think i'll aim for a 100 song this time :p. Thank you for all the kind words! Tbh I really thought video game music quizz didn't leave enough informations. They were often a cool looking timer with an image at the end more or less accurate. So I did this quiz just to be like "I would like more quiz like that" Also while doing the quiz, I got a bit more sensitize on accessibility. So I decided to do "difficulties" and use a color pattern that were colorblind friendly. (but ended up using a font that is not dyslexia friendly like a dumb dumb T.T) In the end i'm super glad how it turned out and the overwhelming positive reception! Thank you again
I'm glad you and your friend enjoyed it. Would have loved to see a video of you two playing and reacting to the songs. It takes quite some time to make but I'd like to do more of those if I can.
True that. It is one of the easiest obscure category. Just like poney island is one of the easiest unheard of. I check stats of games by how many people listen to this song on various platform it's available on. If it falls in a certain bracket. It is either one category of could be one of two categories. That's how I proceed the categorization. I thought it would make for a more fair one and a less subjective one...
Agreed. So many quizzes start with “do you know Mario and sonic main themes?” And it’s like if we’re nerdy enough to search for a video game quiz of course lol. I like that your quiz has mix of obscure and popular and everything in between. And credits the composers! Just wonderful. I’d love you to do more!
I gotta. There are so many songs that didn't get into the video because they were similar or would unbalance the amount of songs per category... I will do more. It just might take some time
Popular game I never touched: Doki Doki Literature Club Lesser known game I knew near its release and never again: Pony Island [basically, you use your puzzle skills to hack an evil arcade machine in order to beat its otherwise impossible levels] Indie Game I actually played and recognize: Hollow Knight, and waiting for various things involving it [City of Tears probably the least recognizable song versus like, Hornet's theme]
You think so? That's sad, I made quite a lot of effort for the games to be from varied periods of gaming. That being said, I could indeed be qualified as a zoomer. And I'm influenced by my own culture. Are there any time periods you wished had more coverage in the quiz? I could make an effort about that next time I do one of these
Hey everyone. Since you guys are commenting and interacting (which I love. Brings me joy... Thank you). I am curious by how well you perform so feel free to tell me about it! After all... Might help me a lot to do another one, especially if this one is too easy for you guys ;) Edit 27/07/2022: Thank you for a 1000 views! Edit 21/09/2022: Thank you for 10 000 views!

This was a fantastic quiz! My fiancée and I love playing VGM quizzes together before bed, and this had one of the best variety in games and difficulty, and one of the best layouts with the info that we've seen! Please make more!!! ❤️
Well the warm reception makes me want to make more of them definitely! It takes time to gather gameplay, information and verify this information with cross gathering information. But I enjoyed making it in my free time for a full year I'd say. I'm pretty sure I'll make one more. At least, the editing process will be much faster this time around as all the layouts are ready. Thank you for your kind words! Hope you and your fiancée gets a good night sleep!
Don't even know myself... I tried to keep the list very varied and my top 100 would have several songs from the same games for instance! But I love songs from many game. I would love to do a top 100 or another one of these but they take a long time to make ! I'll see what I can do
All Of them ? That's pretty harsh :p I used statistics and analytics over streaming platforms to see which songs get the most listen and broad attention to select my difficulties. Also, unless it's a super massively known title, I usually put triple A titles from very well known studios. Finally, I also checked out how popular the games were on let's plays through twitch and RUclips. After all that. I've run test group that included people that knows nothing about games to hardcore gamers. Finally, in the next edition, I would love to be more precise about the fact that the difficulty is related to the song more than the actual game. Some people don't know video game music through memes and know the song, but not necessarily the game... Still, it saddens me that after all that, you still found them too difficult to guess. Would you like to be included in the next testing group ?
Fun and I love that you actually included the titles and composers, as well as where they are encountered in the game. One nitpick that all of these quizzes do at some point - please include 10 seconds of actual memorable music from the track. 8 seconds of backbeat or a single tone ramping up and then 1 second of recognizable music is not so great.
Hey thank you for your comment! Fair criticism, I like to kinda get to the good stuff late in order to make it harder in difficulty. But is difficulty really worth it? The quizz might be more enjoyable if you just have enough time to guess. I thought it was fine as I playtested the quizz with a bunch of people before releasing the video. If you'd be inclined to, I can keep your contact through youtube on the side and tell you if I ever do another quizz in order to have early feedback and fix those kind of mistakes! Thank you once again for your comment!
Banjo was a good contestant. Some games I love are not in this quiz because I wanted them in the next one ;) but dunno when that one is going to come out tbh
Haha it was one of the first game I really loved and that really stayed in my mind, so I feel nostalgia everytime the song play. It is actually a song that brings good memories because the game was indeed so hard that I was so happy when I heard the first music from the second biome, the band world, after struggling so much in the forest. The happy song with all the wind instruments that gives a carefree and freedom feel was so very cool to me, and for all those struggles and nostalgia reasons, I've put it inside the video
Dude, YES. This feels like it's the only video game quiz that actually has style in editing and it's really charming. Please do more of these! You're amazing at this!
Thank you so much. I tried to do something with quality, which made me spend a lot of time on it. Still, I'm glad about the result, especially when I read comments like yours
Haha well, I checked the popularity of the songs to rate. Also some songs in categories are easy for their categories or hard... But between you and me, this tune is so classic, I'd recognize it anywhere on the spot. I was so glad they chose that song to play on the radios in the world of the deus ex human revolution. Coz it is my favorite deus ex theme
11:30 That moment where you suicide at the home base because there's a spot you can take fall damage. Bet everyone did this in Mario 64 in the foyer of the castle.
I'm cooking something right now, since the channel is getting a bit of a momentum. It's not going to be another music quiz as it takes time, but that will happen down the road as well :p
Well, as I said on other comments, I'm just checking stats, like view count and listen per month type of things... But it is just a name for a difficulty that I find funny. It's not meant in any way to shame the games. On the countrary, i'm hoping for this quiz to put forward some game that deserves more light! Especially with the unheard of category
Immediately called out loud (despite playing at home, alone) "Final Fantasy 6" at Ocarina of time, thinking of Kefka's theme, which is entirely different, and immediately ended the video out of such overwhelming shame that I don't think I can ever play a game or listen to a piece of music every again.
I so hope you'll get over the psychologic damage my video provided to you. Hope you get better soon... In one of my next quizz, I'll put this song as a memorial for your struggles
Awesome quiz! I'm a sucker for music in video games/TV shows and most quizzes you can find online only use themes and/or super easy stuff. Now this one was super fun, thank you!!
Thank you! I an a sucker for those too and didn't find one that matched my tastes so I did this one. I hope I'll get the time to do more in the future! At least once per year! Thank you for the kind comment
Glad you enjoyed! I try to make "jokes" with those kind of funny surprise and by sometimes putting two songs one after the other for comic purposes or theoretically someway, somehow
I think the hardest one I actually knew in this was 'Alive Inside' from The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series. Very fun quiz, though! I think I got about 20 right.
Well (very sadly) it is way less popular than the average popularity of a popular song. But amongst the obscure category, it is one of the most popular song actually. There are a few song that are in this weird in between of two categories
@@BinaryGleam If you do decide to use Drawn to Life, I recommend Shadow Showdown from either the first or second game, it's a great song! Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/jLkTpPxdd9Q/видео.html
@@joshuaholcombe9569 ah I'm so glad. I wanted people to share cool stuff ! It sound a bit too MIDI to my taste. But there are some great rythm in that song. Gotta love that fat bass. I'll keep the song in mind though. Thank you for sharing!
i love that you included death road to canada music on this list, despite being a small game it was genuinely some of the best fun ive had with friends
It's an awesome game, my hope is that if this quiz gets shared enough, some small games with banger music and experiences get more attention!!!
Please do more! The editing on this was absolutely fantastic :D
Well how could I say no to that?
I'm so impressed by the sheer effort you put into making this quiz. It's so well made and really fun. Kudos to you for all the effort it really came out well. If you make more my friend and I will certainly play them!

I'm glad you and your friend enjoyed it. Would have loved to see a video of you two playing and reacting to the songs. It takes quite some time to make but I'd like to do more of those if I can.
I wouldn't go so far as to classify The Binding Of Isaac as obscure. It was popular for some time.
True that. It is one of the easiest obscure category. Just like poney island is one of the easiest unheard of.

7:57 god this theme is a truck load of nostalgia. I almost teared up at this point

Was hoping for banjo to show up 😢
Banjo was a good contestant. Some games I love are not in this quiz because I wanted them in the next one ;) but dunno when that one is going to come out tbh
Rayman popping up gave me a wave of nostalgia and PTSD.
That game was faaaaar too hard for kids.
Haha it was one of the first game I really loved and that really stayed in my mind, so I feel nostalgia everytime the song play.

Except it's called Saria's Song not Lost Woods but thanx for playing.
They rock under both names you know? But I should have put both actually as a correct answer
i dont care about quiz thnx for teling about some new games to play
Please do play them!
Dude, YES. This feels like it's the only video game quiz that actually has style in editing and it's really charming. Please do more of these! You're amazing at this!

so no one is going to talk about doki doki? ok.... yall need jebus
At least we got you to talk about it! Haha
>Deus Ex
>>Obscure
Take me back to the retirement home
Haha well, I checked the popularity of the songs to rate. Also some songs in categories are easy for their categories or hard...
But between you and me, this tune is so classic, I'd recognize it anywhere on the spot. I was so glad they chose that song to play on the radios in the world of the deus ex human revolution. Coz it is my favorite deus ex theme
this video rules the way you seamlessly transitioned the BGM into the gameplay clips was awesome . thank you for your hard work

You sir have good taste then!
Great video!
Thank you!

Bold of you to assume Iconoclasts is unheard of
Well, as I said on other comments, I'm just checking stats, like view count and listen per month type of things...
But it is just a name for a difficulty that I find funny. It's not meant in any way to shame the games. On the countrary, i'm hoping for this quiz to put forward some game that deserves more light! Especially with the unheard of category

Glad you enjoyed! I try to make "jokes" with those kind of funny surprise and by sometimes putting two songs one after the other for comic purposes or theoretically someway, somehow
We just did this with shady cicada and this was by far the best vgm quiz we have done. Would love if you did more :>
Planning on doing more! It just takes quite a while! Thank you for the kind comment!
Awesome songs! I knew 7 of them because I play the Game :)
You mean the newgrounds game "The game"?
I think the hardest one I actually knew in this was 'Alive Inside' from The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series.
Very fun quiz, though! I think I got about 20 right.
Gotta remember them 3 notes that makes the theme of alive inside!
Glad you enjoyed the quizz!
@@BinaryGleam Heh. Thanks!
my friend andrew is severely depressed and watches game theory

Excuse me, how is City of Tears obscure?
Well (very sadly) it is way less popular than the average popularity of a popular song. But amongst the obscure category, it is one of the most popular song actually. There are a few song that are in this weird in between of two categories
Your quiz certainly gave my brain a workout. Bravo! 🧠

Will do!

If only.
Great video though
Thank you! Maybe next time? 👀
