  Dado: If you have this song downloaded try it in Audiosurf. Makes Through The Fire and Flames look like a cakewalk:

  YTCracker made an entire album out of this sort of thing:

  MF DOOM used samples of the ID game he shares his name with once:

  Destructoid recently posted about Alex Day, who some of you might like, if nothing else the titles of his songs make the point well enough:

  I'm sure somebody will bring up The Minibosses, NESkimos, various artists from OCRemix etc.

  Nah. But my brother and I are probably going to record some final fantasy stuff soon. He's a sound designer/pianist and I play bass. So it should be fun. I know just about everyone of those black mages parts :-D

  There's a bunch of good stuff on the Overclocked Remix site.
  
  ocremix.org
  
  A lot of it is just remixes but you'll find a bunch of covers as well. The Doom and Street Fighter albums Dark Side of Phobos and Blood on the Asphalt, respectively, come highly recommended.

  There's a lof of cool stuff on ocremix, but it can be hit and miss sometimes. Lots of cool Sonic, Megaman and SF2 tunes though. Most of these bands are cool, but for me nothing beats the Black Mages.

  This is not a direct remake of some soundtrack, but nonetheless related to video games and of course a good power metal track. You'll recognize samples from tetris and super mario land.

  Not a "band" per se, ok, this is a blatant midi remix , but a really good one (imo)...
  Sonic Clang - Doom E1M5 - Sinister
  
  [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jympWb0KWPM[/ame]
  
  btw, Bobby Prince himself has released a Doom IIV theme, as some sort of a "what I could have done with it..." protest. It has been removed since (from his website) but it's out there...
  I thought Chris Vrenna did an awesome job with it, but I wish the "tracks" were longer and more playable. Who's doing Doom IV, anyone?
