The trouble is, I've got more areas in my quest than I've got cool songs that fit the style. I'm hoping that you all might have some suggestions. I'm looking for fairly simple melodic songs. Midis for old tunes from the 8 or 16 bit era work well. The songs can be fast-paced and heroic, or slow and melancholy, but shouldn't be upbeat, happy or silly. I'd also like to stay away from easily recognizable songs from well known games - no Mega Man 2 Wily Stage 1, for example. In fact, it's probably best to avoid main series Mega Man, Mario or Zelda games. Side series are fine, but I'd really like to find some "hidden gems" that not everyone has heard. Extra points if they have that "nes feel."
Any suggestions? I really appreciate it.
