Foxy from the newbies guessed correctly for #8. It was Hercules from the PS1 (also got a couple of the last lot right too before you lot).
Someone promote him/her!

I think it's time you started handing out some clues Olly.
#3 sounds like Banjo Kazooie or something.
#6 Kirby?
#9 I'd love to say CoolSpot!
#14 absolutely sounds like a cutscene pre-boss fight/escape from a Final Fantasy game.

Probably way off the mark but #14 sounds like it could be Commandos on the PC
#2 is that legend of kyrandia
Nope, nope and nope.
Nope.
Nope.
2) Very, very, very underrated SNES platformer, that is linked in some way to one of the games in the first part
3) A PS1 game that wasn't really received that well
6) Awesome prequel to one of the best games ever. From the 16-bit era.
9) In this game you control the character as he has to find his family flag
14) Monsters, Nazis, Zombies...
14 wolfenstein?
Yes
9 is Plok.
2 demon's crest?

Sorry, meant 6.

It's Bubsy 3D.
Bubsy 3d?
EDIT: Drat, drat and double drat.

Did you get that from the youtube comments as well, Xander?
Actually no, I got it from typing in "worst ps1 platformers" into google!
Is 6 Donkey Kong?
Nope
Yoshi's Island?
Yes!
It makes me sad that this was the last one to be guessed.

Yep, I want to guess for a change. I need a break anyway

OC Remix Quiz 1
To explain thoroughly, Overclocked Remix is a site where a bunch of musicians, arrangers, and songwriters remix their favourite video game tunes. The site started around the same time as the Caf and accepted a lot of mixes in the early days. Now they have a strict judging process that rewards originality and creativity so doing something as simple as swapping instruments, jacking up the tempo, and adding drums just doesn't cut it anymore. They want to see you play around a bit with the melodies.
So for this challenge I have 18 songs that are a bit more recognizable than Olly's but are hopefully hidden well enough by the arrangers' remixing techniques that they're not quite so easily identified. Once you guess correctly I will embed the original video alongside a video of the full remix. Hopefully this will be a nice way for you to discover some pretty awesome mixes of your old favourite tunes.
Also bear with me. I'm in California and I'll be in meetings throughout the day. You'll get some of these pretty quickly and I might not be able to respond right away.
Hints may or may not be revealed upon request. No game series appears more than once and none of the songs come from games released after 1999.

Nice one Jveezy, never heard of Overclocked before but some of those were really good.
7 is F-Zero, 11 is Pokemon, is 13 Final Fantasy VI (i think it's a weird version of Kefka's theme), 15 is ringing bells, is 16 Final Fantasy VIII?
The dancy techno ones are gonna take a bit of deciphering!

Yes.

Yes.
15 isn't hidden all that well but only if you know the song. Wrong on 16.
I need to take a dump and a shower. I'll be back to post videos.
#1, Chrono Trigger. #6, Streets of Rage. I think #9 is Sonic and Knuckles. #12 kind of reminds me of Sonic 3 for some reason, but I don't think it is.
