Well, #3 is from TEH GRIM BLANDANGO. Obviously. From Maximino's Office, I think.

#6 is the Worm Song, from Worms (CD-ROM edition)

OK, I lose :(

Hee, yeah I think putting Grim in there was a bit too obvious. Oh well :P

1: Alone In The Dark (?)
3: Grim Fandango - Gambling Glottis
4: Outlaws - Sanctuary
5: RTX Red Rock (?)
6: Worms 2 - Wormsong

Think I know the last one...

James Pond 2: Robocod

Excellent! Nice to see that the more retro classics aren't being forgotten.

Oh man! I thought is sounded familiar. :)

1 Has to be: Conkers Bad Fur Day (or some other banjo kazooie / donkey kong game)

And 7 is blatantly: Lemmings

Hehe.

Anyone want to have a more specific guess at #1? You're close Tonesy.

#1 has to be Banjo-Kazooie then, because it sounds fairy-tale-ish and could probably accompany Grunty in some way.

#5 is from the sneaking around bits in Broken Sword 3, specifically the castle in Prague. #2 sounds familiar too. :~

Hee, it's Banjo-Tooie but it uses a distorted version of the Banjo-Kazooie theme so you get the points.

I'm afraid you're wrong about BS3. ;)

#2 is one that will be notoriously familiar to those that played the game, but because it's a small part of the soundtrack it's hard to think what.

Is #2 from Golden Axe?

Negatory.

Is #2 from Beneath a Steel Sky?

No. ;~

I do understand that (2) is quite a tricky one as it's a game most people have (or should have!) played, but the music only plays for a very short time during the game.

I've included another short clip from the same track for those that are totally stuck here (http://thrik.dodnetwork.com/mg/2extended.mp3). This might make some people go "OH!!", or not. Weep. ;~

Uhh... the only thing I can think of is BS 1, where they blow up the castle at the end.

Hee, everyone's pretty much stumped I think. I've now edited in the full answers to each sample in the first post, so if you give up just check it out there. :¬:

Number 2 is so easy!

I was going to post much earlier, but I didn't know how to do the "spoiler" text so I held off.

Nonetheless, it's Flight of the Zinger (Hornet Hole) from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Definitely one of the best tunes in the game.

Yay!

It is indeed one of the best, although DKC2's soundtrack in general is excellent.
