It's.... Guess the Sound Sample 2

This thread is to compliment the Guess the Screenshot Thread

RULES:
  • Only 1 sample post at a time
  • Winner is the only person who can post samples OR they can nominate another member.
  • If a winner nominates another user to post he/she cannot guess at the sample the nominee posts
  • Samples must be from Amiga (Obviously) games only
  • Samples must be a minimum of 5 seconds long (music) or the complete sample if sfx
  • If using an in-game sample. Don't use common samples as if a user guesses a sample is from a correct game but it isn't the game you are posting the person guessing WILL get it right!
  • Ridiculous samples (i.e not legible) will be removed and the previous winner can have another go!
  • Samples must be from a COMMERCIAL or well known PD release and can be from any part. They can NOT be resamples or remakes, they must be taken DIRECTLY from the game!
  • If the sample is from a PD game the poster MUST say it is PD
  • Samples must be either a small wav or mp3
  • uploading wav/mp3 to abime.net is not allowed so post to the zone
  • 5 Points for a correct answer, 1 point per day for the poster if his sample is not guessed (point is awarded after 24 hours from when the sample was posted)
  • If the sample isn't guessed after 48 hours the poster MUST give a clue and then a clue every 24 hours there-after
  • If a sample isn't guessed after 7 complete days (168 hours) the poster reveals what game it is from. Gets 10 points (3 bonus points) and then nominates the next person to play
  • League table will be kept in the post directly after this one
  • Anyone posting samples when it's NOT their go will lose a point and the post deleted.
  • If a new game isn't posted within 24 hrs of getting the answer confirmed correct then the player forfeits their go and the previous player chooses who is next..
  • Only one guess per person per hour UNLESS somebody else guesses within that hour AND the poster has top say whether it is/isn't correct.
  • Enjoy this new game

Well, I don't care about the scoring. If I did I would have guess more and not given constant clues . I don't like it when my sample last more than a day or so, so I throw away big clues.

Nice one!

Next sample: Have a butchers at this one!

Apologies that this is NOT a mp3 file! Every mp3 converter I use keeps telling me it doesn't recognise the Codec.... so I'm sure I've cocked up Audio output setting in WinUAE?! Can anyone advise?

.... but as wav files are allowed anyway...

Let's rock and, er, roll....

In the other thread, Puzznic was indeed correct (quahappy from memory). I am basically without internet for 2.5 weeks so cannot participate.

Incidentally this scoring system seems to favour the lazy. If you guess correctly and don't upload a new sample (just nominate), you get to have a guess at the next one, which seems a bit mental to me!

Nope it just favours those that can correctly guess the tune, because I would still get points if I posted a sample that took you ages to guess.

Of course I can't win, because if I don't post immediately then I'm ticked off for letting the thread go stagnant!

For fucks sake Ian, quit moaning, have a drink and try to make a new years resolution to not moan as much as you do.



Oh, and I nominate Ironclaw!

Well according to the table you have correctly guessed 9 games, yet I would be surprised if you have uploaded more than about 3 tunes, 1 of which was a 4 second wav file.

No, you guess a sample, don't upload a new sample for days on end then come back and post with something stupid like "whose turn is it now?"

In return you can make a new years resolution to stop being such a lazy sod yourself eh? Bobic is still after that German game Dämonenburg you have aswell, the one that you have failed to crack after ~3 years after boasting "nothing is uncrackable"

PS: Once again you nominate someone else to do your work because you are too lazy. My point made exactly.

Well I explained clearly why I nominated in a couple of Posts as I had problems with my PC but I think the rules to exclude the person nominatiing another member from guessing is fairer.

..... looks like next poster, Ironclaw. is either away on holiday... or hung over!
