I have found 31 with a few guesses. I'd be surprised if I get in the top 3 though...

[The Fifth Horseman]

33 full positives plus 2 I'm almost sure of.
Of the remaining five, four very ucertain guesses and one complete unknown.

[redy]

Oh, well. Guess there's no hope for me, since I'm practically very young. Although I take great joy in playing older games, this does not help me particullarly. Thus , in conclusion I will not send my guess list cause I guessed 3-4 songs and there are absolutely no "maybes".
I'd like to congratulate Kosta for this chalenge.

[Infinitenoodles]

I'm having the same problem. I think I'm a bit too young to have really played most the games these songs are from. It's a pretty cool contest though.

[Kosta]

OK, I tallied up the votes, and here are the results, along with some interesting stats

Hocus Pocus, Turrican and Flashback seem to have presented the biggest challenge to everyone. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Jackolantern who was the only one that got Hocus Pocus right, as well as Davesade and Mister.D for getting Turrican right! Well done!

I will be in touch with the winners shortly regarding addresses and other details! I'll try to organise another competition ASAP, and until then, sit tight!

The vast majority of the 9 tunes I missed were either protected, adventure games or games I never played. At least I am proud to say that I really went to the limit of my ressources and knowledge and could hardly have done better.

[Thexder]

:nuts::nuts:

Kosta, thanks for the competition, it was indeed a very interesting one... On the other hand, you even got me to check the songs in Daikatana, and this is just not right...

Now I better go to sleep -- after the amount of time I spent trying to identify these tunes, if I do not leave the computer now, my wife will divorce me.

Cheers!

P.S.: And, nevertheless, I cannot believe I missed "Pirates!" and "Secret of Monkey Island"...

[Nurple]

Damn... That was a tight race... But...
Think you want to recheck my list Kosta? Because I did, and I had 34 as well. Every game was right, but I had a few ones where the number was wrong, but you said the number didn't matter. (Space Quest 1 or 2 are both right for example).

Anyway, fun competition. Looking forward to the next one

[Eagle of Fire]

I had 31 too, but #12 and #22 count for one answer.

[Nurple]

Oh yeah, forgot about that... bummer hehe.
