"Videomation" is a NES game that cought my attention yesterday. It's basically a Mario Paint game for the NES but with less colors and features. However, the cool thing about this game is that you get a music tone depending on where on the screen you click - the X position determines the low octave tone and the Y position the high octave tone. Think of it as playing the piano with only two fingers. There is quite a big range of tones you can get so you can create some nice music in this game.
I made a lua script that moves the cursor around with the memory.writebyte function (in order to quickly move between tones). I used this to make a version of "Rose of May" from Final Fantasy 9. It's not perfect, but I think it shows the potential of making music in this game. If anyone finds this interesting I can share my lua code - this song took probably 2-3 hours to make with this lua script.
Original version of the song:
