Ramping up the difficulty a little bit.
Below are audio clips from 20 arcade video games from the golden era.
Please respond in a single post with as many of the games recorded as you can identify. I will respond to each set of guesses with the number that are correct (but not which ones are which <thefinger>). You may guess again, but only after I have responded to your previous set of guesses.
The first one to get all 20 correct in one post wins. (I'll be a little surprised if anyone does.) If no one gets all 20 by 2 AM Eastern Daylight Time Saturday night (really Sunday morning), whoever has gotten the largest number correct in a single post wins. Ties broken by earliest submission of tying score.
For the winner I have a t-shirt:

13 are correct, and though this post was after the deadline you were the first to get 11 correct anyway. PM me your address and shirt size.

4, 8, and 20 I thought someone would get. 6 I wasn't sure about.
I knew 13 and 15 would be tough.
I'll leave those as academic challenges.

Awesome! Super cool! 8)

Whatever #20 turns out to be, I'll be giving it a try just for its neat sounds.
And how do none of us know #8?

Bumpage. We still haven't identified 6, 8, 13, 15 and 20.

One of them is easily Googled.

Regarding the 5 remaining, in order of population in VAPS:
10 reported (7 dedicated original cabs)
3 reported (1 dedicated original cab)
3 reported (0 dedicated original cabs)
2 reported (1 dedicated original cabs)
1 reported (0 dedicated original cabs)

#8 is Lasso

#8 is Lasso
Which was the rarest in the VAPS list, but also the one that was easily Googled. (The first song is easily identifiable as the "Mexican Hat Dance"; throw in some terms like video games or arcade games and Lasso will appear in your first page of results.)

Let me try this out I haven't really looked.

Damn it, I knew I had heard 8 before somewhere. Barcade Jersey City actually has a Lasso and I played it for an hour or so maybe like 6 months ago.

And 3 years later, we still haven't.
How a DK Forum t-shirt for the first member to identify one of the 4 remaining? That would be 6, 13, 15, or 20.

6 is Marvin's Maze. I've played 15 but can't remember what it is.

As marky_d pointed out in the shoutbox, #15 has been used in a tournament since this was originally posted in 2014.
Correct on #6, though.
PM me your address and size (S,M,L,XL).

Holy shit....get it in while you can. The Astros are .670. I'm pretty sure that means the end of days is near.

Hopefully not, they were my preseason lottery ticket.

Whatever it is, #20's music is Kreygasm

Whatever it is, #20's music is Kreygasm
It almost sounds like "Pop Goes the Weasel" around the 22s mark, then the loop repeats. Perhaps the music is correlated with some in-game timer? I'm very curious but at a total loss. I really don't believe I've played this game.

The first-round music reminds me of Shortnin Bread:

Most of the answers are already given in the thread, but in any case, none of these are correct.

Sorry, didn't realize it was bad manners to post my original guesses after the answers had been provided.

Not sure why this is being directed at me. (I am the only one quoted in this post.)
I implied nothing about your manners. You seemed not to understand that the answers to your guesses were already posted in the thread, so I was providing that information.

15 was in another tournament a little over a week ago, Grinkfest ;D It's Warp Warp. I knew it sounded familiar. I don't remember playing it in another tourney though, which one was it in?
edit: I see it was in Grinkfest in 2015 too, I assume that's the tourney you mentioned it was in?
-
I came across this thread and I tried it out.
Got
1 Alpine Ski
3 Krull
4 Quantum
9 EA
10 MR. Do
15 Warp Warp
17 Son Son
19 Joust
So I got 8
Guessed Goldbug instead of Bagman on 2
Space Dungeon instead of Kram on 7
Almost had 11 as I had played it inside the last month Arabian
Guessed VAnguard but it was Fantasy on 12
The others just didn't have a clue, but after they were revealed I would have
recognized Slither since we just played it at Grinkers.
Fun contest really made me frustrated that I couldn't get some of them. I knew a couple of them sounded familiar enough but I probably hadn't played the game enough to recall it. So we are just down to #20 I believe and I have no clue.

Slither
How'd you do on Slither?
As for #20, I previously stated that the music reminded me of the song "Shortnin' Bread". As a clue, it may be that the theme of the game put me in mind of such a song.
