The previous answer wasn't confirmed...
But perhaps another sample for this is needed, as no one seems to know it.

Sorry Guys I've been busy lately with school vacation so I didn't post one then.

I'll post one tonight that should have some gameplay in it.

Here we go (Finally)!

Sorry about the long wait this should be more clear on the game.

It's Schikman War 3, the award winning sequel to Schikman War and Schikman War 2: Revenge of the Bar!

Just kidding, it's actually Into Space 2.

That would be the guard from Wolfenstein 3D, by id Software and Apogee.

Also who ever wants my go at the audio, can have it.

This is the first area music from a game that everyone should have either played, or should play in the future. Because it's awesome.

The audio is a bit crappy, however, because I had to record it myself.

Been busy as always--I'll try to post a variant tomorrow, then if there are no takers I'll reveal it. Y'all should be playing this game.

Here's the title music, complete with me hitting down and up a few times so you can hear the "ch-kunck" of selection.

If you don't get it, you should. So I'll reveal it after another day.

(It's quiet b/c I had to use my speakers--the audio is embedded in the executable.)

The audio is from Eternal Daughter (download here). It's a great game, but pretty hard as action-adventure games go. You have to be brave and persistent and think outside the box, which is why I recommend it to you crazy people.

I've attached a tif file with the location of the challenge.

C h a l l e n g e !

The nook located to the right of the main character is reachable before you gain any sort of ability to fly; but you have to be extremely clever to do it.

That's it. Good luck!

Whoever wants to post another audio, feel free to step up.

Ah, I'd tried that game once upon a time. It was cool. The music was familiar, but I couldn't place it.

The attached picture is "proof" that the feat is doable.

The little floating blue guy is a hint; by the time you can get him, you can perform the trick.

I don't have any time to play games lately so it's taken me a while to get back to this point (plus, as mentioned before, the game is non-trivial).

Here is some very distinctive title music from one of my favorite classics. It fades out a little after the second melody begins:



If nobody gets it, I'll start lobbing out hints.

Good catch! +2.

I think 1's actually better, to be honest. It also ported to the States before Dragon Warrior, so technically in the US it's the first console RPG (and light-years better). 2 is good, though, and 3 is just a little weird. I need to play 4 through someday.

I never really got into any of them but 4, but 4 is incredible and definitely worth your time. Would you suggest starting with 1 if I wanted to play the others? It seems a tad dated, but not prohibitively so (I have a Genesis collection with all 4).

Here's one of the more memorable themes from one of my favorite retro game soundtracks.

I can tell 4 is good from early playing.

I think 3 is probably the worst of the lot. The problem with 3 is they spent all the RAM on fancy terrain and monsters, and did not produce any people or objects. All the hallways and such look sparse (2 had this problem too) but worst of all, the towns are, like deserted. You feel like the whole world is devoid of people. There are people in the shops, stationary behind desks, but that's it.

What makes 3 interesting is you get to choose two marriages, so you end up beating the game with your grandchildren, and who you get to play with depends on who marries who. But it still seems very, very empty to play and the lack of setting detail depresses me, so I think you could skip 3 entirely and you wouldn't miss much. The only interesting story element in 3 is a "revelation" which gets retcon'd in 4 or ignored or something, I think.

I'd play 2 first, then play 1. I think 2 is more strategic but 1 will take a while and be sort of a long-term "I'll beat this someday" sort of game. There are a lot of really cool differences that make 1 notable, but it's also a nasty grind of XP-gathering. Not as bad as Dragon Warrior, but still bad. The main unique element is the dungeons, which are done in first-person perspective maze, which is really different (and this also makes it remarkably difficult to gauge when you're strong enough to conquer an underworld area or not). I was always disappointed they never returned to that later, particularly since 2's base areas were (again) sparsely decorated.

I know that one but I'll let someone else glom it.

About that game, you have to...


Also, with my last post--I think PSII was the first to introduce the "caterpillar" modeling of a party walk. Er, unless PSI did that already but I don't think it did.

I'll play some 2 and jump between it and 1. That genealogy system reminds me of Fire Emblem 4 and 13, though those are both great games.

As for the game (iconic series sound effect attached) I own the TG-CD version and a good emulator and it's amazing. Would have blown me away if I played it when it came out, and it still kind of does. The newest set of remakes are also very good, and besides 7 which I didn't care much for, the new installments keep getting better, with one of the PC releases securing a place as one of my favorite games.

I've played the version the track is taken from and it's bizarre. Like playing a slower, grindier and less interesting version of one of my favorite games. The TG-CD and PC versions are a lot more fun.

Alright, nobody's going to answer apparently, so it's from Ys Book I.

I'm pretty confident about that one, so here's the next sample. Click on the Secret to "hear" it.


That's the sound effect! Name the game.
