Oddball NES Games (i.e. Orb 3D, +more)

While I thoroughly enjoy the ReMixes of the mainstream series games (Mario, Zelda, Metroid), I consider it my personal duty to bring to the light of attention several good-but-obscure NES games that indeed had good music in them (at least in parts), but only so many people are aware of.

So, I have compiled a list of games that I feel need ReMixes, and, where applicable, specific songs therein that I'd personally like to see given attention to!

Gyruss was mentioned in a previous post, and is at the top of my list, due to its status as my #1 NES game.

1943: The Battle of Midway: Loved this game. One of the few NES games my FATHER actually played back when I was a child. Specific songs to that game would be the main flying theme, and, more importantly (to me), the battle theme that plays when you battle the gigantic airplanes.

Iron Sword: Wizards & Warriors 2: It all around had some interesting music, that could probably be turned into some pretty fantastic stuff (especially if it's a ReMix of just one song). The one song that comes to mind that I'd like to see attended to directly is the Underwater theme from the Water Elemental stage.

Low G Man: First game on my list (not counting Gyruss) that isn't in the list of games for the NES here on the OCR Site. Low G Man had some good music in some stages, and it even had a soundtest mode to listen to them in. Just about any song would do well to receive a ReMix. The Iron Nail stage, the Frozen Wasteland stage, and the Metorilla Tower stage (I guess that's what that place was called) in particular.

Orb 3D: Maniacal puzzle game, but it was crazy fun at the same time in its general simplicity. It really only had one song, but that one song was a catchy one.

Pipe Dream and Tetris: Pipe Dream isn't around here at all, and so far, only Song B of the NES Tetris has received attention. This irritates me because: Song C is my favorite Tetris theme, and it seems to be largely ignored for some reason... The first two songs got remixes for Brawl, and, like I said, only Song B has been given attention here...

As for Pipe Dream, the NES version has some pretty smooth music that someone could do wonders with, I'm sure.

I WOULD include Solar Jetman on here, if not for the fact that I am aware Platonist is working on ReMixes of every planet in the game... I am SO looking forward to hearing them!

Vindicators: The last game on my list would be this one, with its cool little set of tunes. The game was a favorite of a friend of mine, and I'd really like to see what some of the people here could do with its tracks.

I'll probably think of more later... But this is good for now.
