There's so much beautiful video game music out there, so I wanted to show you/share/remind you of some of my favorites!
Get through the not very hard(?) puzzle to find a train with bundled and some unbundled games at the end! To enter, all you need is to be lvl1+ and pass the SG tools check for no rule violations.
Enjoy! :-)

Games on the train are:

-Endorlight
-Age of Steel: Recharge
-Alien Rage - Unlimited
-Death Goat
-Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Deluxier Edition
-Cities in Motion 2 Collection
-Darksiders
-Red Faction Guerrilla Steam Edition
-SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition
-Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Collector's Edition
-Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
-Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition

You can still get on the train until January 24th!
The giveaways have ended! Congratulations to the winners, keep your eyes peeled for the next VGM puzzle ;-)

edit: I guess my taste is more niche than I thought! Updated some of the hints.

edit2: I really wanted my giveaways to be open to anyone, but so far less than 30 people have solved it. That's why I have now added screenshots of each game to make it easier to guess. While they may still be old, some of you may recognize the images, while others who don't have an even easier way of finding the solution. Good luck to all!

I don't recognize all of them, but I must have beaten 7 a few tens of times.
Those were the days.

Let me know if the hints aren't enough, I wasn't sure how many people would be familiar with these.

None?? You have to listen to more game music! Sometimes it's one of the main reasons the games are good :-)

I don't like instrumental music much so most of the game musics doesn't interest me. But i really like Bastion and Transistor for example.

I see. In that case, this will be very hard to solve for you. You can always try googling the hints ;-)

I do listem to VGM (http://listography.com/massuia/music/video_game_music__downloaded_), but i only recognize 2 obvious ones, and Q7 is not unfamiliar. (Q3 have formating issues)
Well, TOUGH LUCK.

You do listen to a lot! More than me, I think. But yeah, several of the games are not on that list.
By "formatting issues", do you mean the way to write the answer? I put in several different ways for each answer, and made sure they fit the official wikipedia entry.

Sorry for the trouble though, google would have probably got then if I used the image for search... I have only played Warcraft 2 (it was a demo though).. I have heard of the rest other than Extreme-G

3, 5 and 7 (Even from the drips) were very easy. Now to figure out the rest..

Nice taste! The Q3 is so nostalgic! But I recognize only 4 of them (the Q2 is hard, I think I never played this game...maybe)
Also, maybe I will steal your puzzle format, I really liked it! xD

Just from the first track, I think I recognize something like a "NES/SNES" nostalghia era of soundtracks here, maybe. Could be wrong though.

Edit:
Q2: Definitely one of the best games and soundtracks of all time. Played thousands of hours. Literally.

4 is the oldest of all of them, and 8 probably the least well-known. You should be able to find them with the hints, though ;-)

This user (Henkka360) was caught cheating asking for answers on another giveaway website (Playblink)

Be sure to blacklist him so he doesn't get into the giveaway.

Maybe he didn't know it's against the rules? He did say he's new here, so I'm inclined to give him the benefit of doubt.
He just asked for help on one question, not for links or anything.

And honestly, I meant for these giveaways to be available to anyone who can pass the SG tools check. The puzzle is just for fun :-)

Good on you for that.

This is supposed to be a fun place, what with all the video games and stuff. People gotta stop being so overdramatic about it.
