Here's kind of a fun time waster that tests your knowledge of (mostly) retro game music. Take it multiple times as it will generate a different selection of songs each time.

I like the fact, that they've played all the tracks with midi-instruments, so that you can't guess based on the overall sound.

First time I got a score of 1860, second time I got 2350. Some of the choices were easy, and then there were songs from games like the Smurfs for ColecoVision.

1,900 on my first try.

2330.

Cool idea, but there are some serious problems with it. For one, there's a few delays before the music starts sometimes. It took 4 seconds for the Secret of Mana one to start. A big problem when time affects score.

Also, some of those MIDIs are downright awful.
