As I child of the 80’s I remember the soundtracks of the NES games I played.  They also sounded epic but at the same time using only three tones.  I also wondered what it would be like playing Mario Brothers while listening to Metallica.  Thanks to youtube and gigantic technological advances we can listen to just about any song remixed in 8-bit, NES sound.  I have heard a wide variety of songs from The White Stripes, The Gorillaz, Slayer, and Iron Maiden.  All songs really want be to create a video game around it.  None more than this

Really I need to get on a Super Paul Brothers game where Dime hits you in the head with a guitar or Vinnie has drum sticks, but he can jump higher.
