I’d like to get hold of the music (possiblly mp3s) from Flashback, doom, doom 2, pinball dreams (Amiga), Sonic the HedgeHog.

While I can’t help you find mp3s (because I don’t know), I can point you to a net radio station that [streams them.](http://classic.gamingfm.com/main/) Just as I linked to it, they’re playing something from one of the Sonics.

[Zophar’s Domain](http://www.zophar.net/) has music data files for games from older consoles, such as the Genesis, NES, and Super Nintendo. You still need a player to play those data files, but they’re not hard to get.

My son told me he’s listening to a band called [The Minibosses,](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE47E16DE4FA97E20C79A2D4DDAA076FE0BE147FF9812294475C5B43947824375EE51E9A5C9FB812EED27FBB32FA4450ED7D5EC56FCD82A35378EE9AC60382E3A7B&searchlink=MINI%7CBOSSES&uid=CADMR0410140836&samples=1&sql=11:ch9ss31qa3dg~T1) who play music from Nintendo games such as Castlevania and F-Zero.

(Yup, we’re pretty geeky in my family)

OCRemix has some really good remixes (duh) of video game music.
