The best video game song to play on guitar

whaddya guys think are the best songs to learn on guitar from video games.
I like a lot of the work on Final Fantasy for the playstation, and a lot of stuff from Castlevania, especially Symphony of the night. And a lot of Sonic the hedgehog stuff is cool.

yeah the coin sounds are natural harmonics that go like:

--(5)-----------
--(5)-----------
--(5)----------
---------------
---------------
---------------

and the green pipe sounds are sliding down the fretboard consecutively, probably on E, A, or D

The original Sega Toejam and Earl music is a great background to solo over with a classic bass line. The emulator and ROM for PC use are readily available on the web.

Sometimes I like to play all the mega man tunes. The ones from mega man X and later are awesome. Another fun one to play is the double dragon theme. Someone from mysongbook.com managed to tab it with the solos.

Baten Kaitos has the best video game soundtrack. It is pretty new so there are probably not any tabs.

Dude, what about The Basement Theme from FF:VII? You know, the Acoustic one also called vincent's Theme. Here's a link for that song:
http://www.taborama.com/archive/tab...ent%20Theme&i=1

Oh yeah, and The Tetris Theme. I can give you tabs if you want.

I have a really good tab for The Legend Of Zelda. It is near perfect, I could even tab it one and 2 octaves lower since the song does incorporate octaves I believe. If anyone wants my version of Legend of Zelda tabs, I will send em yer way.

Yep. If you notice the whole game has a great amount 80's metal references. Characters with names such as Venom, Testament, Axl, and someother one's too. I read interview with the creators and they intended for this to happenen. Get the soundtracks if you can there's some good shred in them. \m/

... gotta love it!

I did try learning Mario Bros a while ago, but the tab was incomplete and I hadn't listened to it in forever... so I gave up. But yeah, it is cool!
