Videogame music is pretty awesome. I especially like the SNES era music. Yup. So I fucked around with some MIDIs and used Synful to apply classical instruments to these golden compositions, and it all sounds pretty neat.
Here is a song from FF6:
Edgar & Sabin
Zelda 2: Link:
Town
Zelda - Link to the Past:
Death Mountain
Castlevania IV:
Level I
Mega Man:
Wily's Level
The instruments are all synthesized from physical modelling, no samples. I think it sounds alright. Are there any more videogame tracks which you think would fit this treatment?

That CV4 one is awesome and rousing, nice job. That's the 2nd best 16 bit soundtrack ever for me. CV Bloodlines for Genesis could really benefit from this kind of treatment, I haven't heard many alternate versions of those tracks... awesome compositions but sometimes the Genesis soundchip just wasn't up to snuff. At least CV4 had fairly realistic piano/percussion/bass/organ sounds.

Well, this died fast!
Ophecks: The Genesis FM soundchip just had a different "feel" to it, I won't say it's worse... Very charming. I'm thinking of doing more Castlevania 4, but I'm not quite sure about which tunes to do. Another side-effect with doing this is I'm just torn between doing music and actually sitting down with the games.

FFVI has one of the best video game soundtracks ever - i try to listen to "Dancing Mad" at least once a month, in its entirely. truly a classic. Uematsu is brilliant - the Black Mages version isn't so bad, but it lacks those awesome SNES-operatic-vocal modulations which make the original so groundbreaking and technology-pushing.
I also always loved the music for Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG and Phantasy Star IV - really great stuff.

oops, didn't read.... hmmm....
how about Laughter from Phantasy Star IV? i've always liked it, i think a guitar mod could work for it. Also, try the Castle theme or the Field theme from Shining Force II.

Staz, the links doesn't seem to work. ______________________________
It's not from the SNES-era, but give the Metal Gear Solid-theme a try.
And why not Bubble Bobble? That'd sound hilarious as an orchestra.
Hmm ...
I've always liked the music to Shadow Gate (NES). Give that one a try.
Haha, and Snake Rattle n' Roll (NES).
Definetely more Mega Man-tracks.
Uh, let's see ...
Damn, can't think of more for the moment. :D

Hey, Oddioblender, you have great taste! :)
Dancing Mad is an excellent tune. And Kefka (apart from Sephiroth) is the greatest meanie E V E R.

Thunder Force/Herzog Zwei/everything by Technosoft on the Genesis, those guys were brilliant. Loved the heavy riffs in Thunder Force 4. TF3 wailed too.
''There is No Time To Lose'' from Herzog Zwei, heart palpitations

Star Fox 1 had a kickass mondo edgy soundtrack, shame the rest of the series couldn't follow suit.

Synful sounds really good.
I'm having a hard time believing this is actually a computer doing this. If no one would have told me, I'd assume this was a real recording.

The link above supposedly took the person 35 mins to make!
"Take a listen to this example which I made in 35 minutes after installing the program, and be aware this is literally doodling around, improvising, with no editing."
Is it easy to use? What do I need to know? Did you buy it?
I need this program. It's as simple as that. :D
