October 7 Information

The Simpsons background music

Help! Please help me identify where the background music came from in last week's season premier of The Simpsons. I'm referring to the scene at 9m38s, right when the Simpsons first arrive in NYC. Where is that music from!?!? Thanks

It's an instrumental, muzak-y, and un-funky version of "On Broadway". I don't know who's covering it, but though it's an organ, it's definitely not Reuben Wilson. (The episode is " Moonshine River", by the way, but I found no credits, yet. --- Sluzzelin talk 02:06, 7 October 2012 (UTC) reply

Thank you! That was driving me crazy not knowing. Duomillia ( talk) 02:19, 7 October 2012 (UTC) reply

Um 'All Your Base Are Belong to Us' is from Japanese, the OP is clearly using Korean. Nil Einne ( talk) 04:21, 11 October 2012 (UTC) reply

Game identification

I can't remember a title of the addictive PC game I played (very briefly) some years ago. Some things I can recall:

  1. Small village/town
  2. small number of inhabitants with individual names
  3. Inhabitants have mood, hunger etc (4+ characteristics)
  4. Inhabitants can interact with each other
  5. historical setting

Could you please help me? -- Ewigekrieg ( talk) 09:46, 7 October 2012 (UTC) reply

Was it Europa 1400: The Guild or its sequel The Guild 2? Maybe one of The Settlers (video game) series of games? -- Jayron 32 19:01, 7 October 2012 (UTC) reply
I was about to suggest glancing at titles listed on Category:Medieval_video_games but I see our categorization is so lousy that Europa 1400 doesn't even get listed there (though The Guild 2 does). Europa (which was re-released as The Guild - Gold Edition, at some point) is a great game, btw, and in my experience it's insanely addictive, so I'm thinking Jayron's spot on with his guess. There's another one that's a bit older I feel like I remember -- it was much blockier, as I recall, like a tile grid, and the name was something like "Dominion" but not exactly "Dominion" (Dominus, maybe? Though the descriptions I'm seeing for it don't sound right.) I guess all this isn't very helpful. :-) Jwrosenzweig ( talk) 02:43, 8 October 2012 (UTC) reply
