Sampla: Think You Know Video Game Music?

April 22, 2010 in Gaming,Music with 9 Comments

Think again.

A few months ago, John Freeborn and I chatted about a possible Geekadelphia flash game. His idea? A new take on his classic Sampla flash game, this time using video game music. Check it out here. Sampla: The Video Game Music Quiz.

The premise is simple. Sampla plays tracks from popular (and some incredibly obscure) video games. You have a couple seconds to guess the game by clicking on the appropriate box art. Easy enough, no?

Try it out. Let’s see what you got. And be sure to submit your high score!

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his (somewhat famous) chinchilla Mittens and bunny Rory. He teaches writing and literature at some local Philadelphia colleges and works in publishing. He knows absolutely nothing about sports, and is proud of it.
