Dear GOG.com users!

We know that you love your video game soundtracks and nothing makes you happier than seeing a GOG.com game bundled with high-quality digital audio album. But how well you actually know the classic musical scores that accompany some of the greatest moments of gaming? We'd like to put your musical knowledge to a little test!

http://youtu.be/Ysorqg3mAsw

The video linked above contains 7 music fragments coming from 7 great classic games. Can you name those games? If you think you can, there's a free GOG.com game in it for you! Just send the correct game titles (in the order that they're presented in the video!) to: contest@gog.com (enter "Music contest" as the topic, please)

The first ten people who email us with all the correct answers put in correct order will receive a bonus code. Another batch of 10 codes will be distributed among the users who sent their correct answers later. The awarded codes will allow you to redeem any GOG.com game with a regular price up to $9.99.

To sum things up:

1. Listen to 7 music fragments
2. Guess all 7 great games
3. Send the names of those games to contest@gog.com
4. ???
5. Profit

This contest lasts until Friday, September 14, 9:59 AM GMT, so put your headphones on, sit back and just go with the flow of the music, while your memories begin to kick in!

Wishbone: Great idea for a contest, but you seem to have gone out of your way to make it as obscure as possible. 7 unmemorable bits of classical music, sounding enough alike that they could easily all have come from the same game, or even from different places in the same piece of music.

I don't recognize a single one of them, I must admit.
We already received a submission that gets 6 out of 7 titles right, so we figure we didn't overestimate our users' game music knowledge :-)

I do promise, however, that we'll run another contest soon(ish)--not depending on mad music-recognition skills.

JMich: Too many sounding quite similar, can't pinpoint any of them. But the real questions are these:
Are all 7 from games currently on GOG.com?
For those currently not on GOG.com, do you have plans to release them this year?
You can safely assume that we only used bits of soundtracks from the games already available in our catalogue.

OK, so here's a little hint. All of those fragments have something in common. Once you guess the common denominator getting all the correct answers will get much easier :-)
I'm happy to announce that we have our first winner! :-) One of the users sent us a nearly perfect answer, naming all the games and putting them in a correct order--with one exception: he switched places of one game with its sequel, which is acceptable under the circumstances. Phew... So we didn't make it impossible to solve after all.

ThorThunderfist: If we submit a guess with an error, will we be informed and allowed to guess again, or are we only allowed a single entry?
You can submit multiple entries. Shall we say... 3? That seems fair. But we won't inform you whether you were successful or not before the contest deadline. Because, come on--if we tell winners that they got all answers correct, what's to keep them from telling their friends all the good answers? That wouldn't be sporty, now would it?

ktchong: "The first ten people who email us with all the correct answers put in correct order will receive a bonus code. "

I think I know all of them, but unfortunately I think GOG.com must have already received all ten correct entries by now. [...]
Up until now we've only received 10 email entires total, of which only 5 were correct. Plus don't forget about that part:

" Another batch of 10 codes will be distributed among the users who sent their correct answers later."

There's no reason you shouldn't email us with your answers!

SHaZer4o1: Unfortunately I noticed this contest too late and from work I can't make researches (I feel they are song from Jeremy Soule since I think I heard that "sound" in many classic RPGs, but I have no time to dig it).
Good luck to everyone trying ;)
You still have time until tomorrow, 9:59AM GMT to submit your answer, and with the relatively small number of entries we've received so far you have a good chance of wining one of the giveaway codes :-)
Dear users!

All of the correct answers are revealed in the following video:

We've received 16 correct answers in total, so everyone that guessed the titles is going to get their bonus codes. The first three people who were the fastest will even get two codes each! You will receive your prizes shortly.

We congratulate you on your supreme musical literacy and invite you to our Diamonds of D&D Promo, where you can buy all the games featured in the competition for up to 65% off!

Neurological: Damn, switched Icewind Dale.
That's acceptable. You weren't the only one to do that, so we figured out you should still get your code.
