A long walk down the memory lane

A 23 mins look-back at every video game console.

Let's try figure out the origin of all the BGMs used in the vid!

(NES)
00:04: Bubble Bobble (stage theme) (Not actually NES or Arcade version in console history vid, if someone can help out in terms of what platform's sound mapper it uses, do tell)
00:49: Ice Climber (main theme)
01:20: Balloon Fight (Bonus stage theme)
01:52: Super Mario Brothers (World theme)
02:33: Duck Tales (Amazon stage theme)
03:11: The Goonies (Stage theme)
03:53: Blast Master (Stage 1 theme)
04:57: Punch-Out
05:29: Metroid
06:18: Kid Icarus
06:58: Zelda II
07:36: Castlevania
07:56: Dr.Mario
09:04: Megaman (Cutman theme)
09:46: Double Dragon
10:18: Gradius
10:38: Ikari Warriors
11:23: Ghost n Goblins
(SNES)
11:55: ?????
12:37: Final Fantasy VI (Wild West - Veldt theme)
13:44: Chrono Trigger (Dome-16's Ruins)
14:20: ?????
(N64)
16:15: Zelda OOT (Gerudo Valley)
(PS)
17:17: Final Fantasy IX (Vamo'alla Flamenco - Chocobo Run theme)
18:33: Bioshock (Welcome to Rapture)
20:05: ??????
21:27: Shadow of the Colossus (Final Battle)

Had to cheat on Metroid, GnG, Zelda2 and Blast Master, I know they sounded familiar so I had to search around to refresh my memory :x

I'm gonna so kick myself in the teeth once I figure out the BGM at 16:15, it's so ridiculously familiar... maybe it's for PS1, might not be SNES.

And I'm pretty much lost when it reached SNES and PS, not even sure if there are any PS2/XBox/GC stuff in there. betting on there being some BGMs from Tales and Mana series, or even Dragon Quest and Breath of Fire. And I bet that jungle SNES theme is from Donkey Kong, never played it so that's just a guess.

So come on folks, let's complete the list!

Pretty sure 13:44 is from Chrono Trigger, can't remember where though
18:33 is Bioshock's opening theme.

Youtubed around, not Saga Frontier's Red theme, or at least not from what I found (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxdZ06NNMyk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), same goes to Bioshock, they sound VERY similar (same creepy violin stuff), but not the same unless I'm not listening to the same thing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0nnYVZ1L6Q" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). :S

Have to check up on the rest.

4:57 is NES Punch Out, generic fight music
13:44 is from Chrono Trigger, Dome 16 ruins
14:20 is the main theme from Secret of Monkey Island
16:15 Zelda OOT, Gerudo Valley
21:27 is Shadow of the Colossus, though I don't remember which colossus it is from

oh yeah and 11:55 is most likely from some Enix game, probably Dragon Quest V.

NES Punch Out... bingo~!
Chrono Trigger, Dome 16 ruins.... bingo~!
the main theme from Secret of Monkey Island.... certainly sounds like it, but I can't seem to get an exact match with any particular version, even those of other Monkey Island games...
Zelda OOT, Gerudo Valley... ah ha!
21:27 is Shadow of the Colossus... FOUND IT, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwetX5iV ... re=related" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , final battle theme

And as for Bioshock... yep that's it~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEFIZh_Z ... re=related" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

My Enix guess was regrettably wrong, my shame is applicable
