Alright, after Bibliophile's thread, I wanted in on the action too, so here's a new test for you. All of these were released in the US, and it's not limited to console games only. I tried not to pick any that are going to be impossible, so give it your best shot!
Simply post your guesses about what game each song is from. If you're the first to guess it right, you'll claim the points for that song. Obviously the person with the most points wins! For the winner, I have a selection of DVDs you can choose from as a prize (or, if you don't like any of them, you can just have the honor of winning):
The Princess Bride
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Swimming Pool
Arrested Development - Season 3
Red Shadow
Army of Darkness
Sister Street Fighter
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
So, let's get to it!
-------
Level 1 (1 point each): Easy stuff
01. "Transformed" from Altered Beast (Genesis, 1989) [galfordo]
02. "Cecil's Town (Ebon Keep)" from The Secret of Evermore (SNES, 1995)
03. "Deadwood Ride" from Cruis'n USA (Arcade, 1994)
04. "Aerial Stage" from Mega Man 4 (NES, 1992) [ki atsushi]
05. "The Lobby - 1900s" from Day of the Tentacle (PC, 1993) [twalden]
Level 2 (2 points each): You've probably played these, but do you remember?
06. "Violent Emotion" from The Last Blade 2 (Neo Geo CD, 1999)
07. "The Town" from Harvest Moon 64 (N64, 1999)
08. Theme from Moon Patrol (Arcade, 1982) [not sonic]
09. "Patrol Knob" from Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast, 2000) [Mercenary X99]
10. "Dead Sea ~ Tower of Extinction" from Chrono Cross (PlayStation, 2000) [ki atsushi]
Level 3 (3 points each): Slightly more obscure tunes, but not impossible
11. "Warlord Battle" from Destiny of an Emperor (NES, 1989) [ki atsushi]
12. "Elevator Music 1" from Jurassic Park (SNES, 1994) [Kiselgof]
13. "Multi-Player Battle" from Bomberman 64 (N64, 1997)
14. "Conspiring (Night Theme)" from Way of the Samurai (PS2, 2002)
15. "Stage 3 BGM" from The Castlevania Adventure (Game Boy, 1989) [ki atsushi]
Level 4 (4 points each): Let's see what you're really made of...
16. "Field Battle 2" from Lords of the Realm II (PC, 1996)
17. "Heading Out" from Kwirk (Game Boy, 1990)
18. "BGM 2" from Spy Hunter (PS2, 2001)
19. "Blunderbuss" from Plok (SNES, 1993)
20. "The Guardian" from Return to Zork (PC, 1993)
Level 5 (15 points): SUPER INSANITY CHALLENGE
This song is a combination of 2 instrument tracks from two separate games. Other than being mixed together, they are unedited. Can you identify them both? The melody track is from one game, and the percussion track is from another. HINT: The percussion track has a very distinctive sound that was a common characteristic of the developer.
21. This song is a mixture of the secondary melody track from the Theme from Lolo 2 (NES). If you take out the primary track, it sounds like this. And finally, it is mixed with the drum track (minus hi-hat) from the Underground Cavern stage in Batman: The Video Game (NES).

No, I didn't count Ultra, since they're the same as Konami. But... Konami is one of the three that made NES games with percussion tracks like that.
That was always a nice welcome chilling sound to get away from the Raptor howling.
