9. escape from monkey island? (pure guess as i've never played any of lucas arts adventure games save maniac mansion.

If you never played any of Lucas Arts adventure games you are out in the dark on this one. :)

7. a warcraft game? i was also thinking spellforce but that doesn't fit the clue.

Not many to pick from are there? :)

2.neverwinter nights?

Close, but not quite.

by the way what is turrican 2?

Turrican was an old Amiga game, Turrican II ofcourse the sequel, well known for it's music. There was an easter egg, if you pushed "HELP" five times in the titlescreen you got a music player that could play all the game's music.

Here's the original intro.

Maniac Mansion is an ancient game for sure. I have finished every one of LucasArts adventuregames. Adventure/RPG is my favorite genrés.

yeah i used to be a huge blizzard fan. i actually shamefully own the collectors edition to both diablo 2 and warcraft 3 though the later is no longer in my possesion. only played world or warcraft for 3 months in the spring of 2005. the expansion will be the first blizzard game i will not purchase. i would have even found a way to play starcraft ghost on a friends console, but then they canned that too. diablo and diablo 2 were actually the only pc rpg's (usually that term loosely) that i played in between ultima 8 and siege of avalon, with gothic following not to long after which was viagra to my 'computer game playing drive'.

That was Warcraft III ? Then I must confess, I wouldn't have guessed. I forgot that you purposely put them in low quality, and so I got the impression that it must be old, certainly not the third part! :)

Heh, heh, I know what "weird japanese ball game" you speak of, since I saw it on TV like a year ago, but I give up - there is no way, that I remember the name of it, which was something meaningless to me. ;) By the way, that game was *really* weird!

The soundtrack for that wierd game is among the most odd soundtracks I ever heard. :) It was also extremely popular even if it's only available on Playstation 2.

Go ahead! :) I was thinking about an RPG-only list.

The last three might be difficult though since none of them are RPG's and 2 of them are not PC games. I give one more hint (which might not help unless someone actually played them) then I guess I can give away the answers.

4. This exceptionally wierd title started as a sleeper hit but was then nominated by Time Magazine as game of the year, then it won "Excellence in Game Design" and it won another price for "Best Innovation", also won for "Best Soundtrack" on both IGN and GameSpot.
9. One of the most stylish adventuregames ever made, with a wierd blend between death and spanish accents/music.
10. A famous c64 adventure/action game that can almost be counted as an ancient forefather for the Survival Horror genré (Resident Evil/Silent Hill) even if it have more to do with a specific assassin than horror.

I finally managed to get my ftp up and running again. Here are my 10 game soundtrack clips; among these are 3 CRPGs, 2 console-only titles, 3 adventure titles, 2 underdogs... or so :). Not all of these games were hugely successful, but with one exception they are among my all-time favorites in their respective genres.

I didn't always use intro or main title track snippets... but I jotted down the type Lands of Lore 2: Credits - Kendrik
Super Turrican: In-game music - Kendrick
Deus Ex: Intro/Title - curious
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time?: In-game music - Kendrick
Thief: Intro/Title - curious
Realms of the Haunting: Intro/Title - Kendrick
MDK: Intro/Title - curious
The Dig: Intro/Title - Kendrick
System Shock: In-game music - Kendrik
Missionforce:Cyberstorm: In-game music - Kendrik
...happy hunting!

3: Deus Ex is correct :). 8: is not Spellforce, though - hint: a different genre, and the company which made it already has a game in Jemy's list.
