Someone one ragged on me for making too much minor key stuff
k boyz and gurlz, y'all ready for a BOATLOAD OF SADNESS?? let's kick it:
so, i played Final Fantasy Adventure (GB) when i was 9. this is still hands-down the most melancholy music i have ever heard. AND it accompanies people dying and sacrificing themselves, that's pretty heavy for a 9-year old.
Oh and also:
bryface - hope and despair - this is probably the closest thing to a sad song that i have ever written. it's because i wrote it in the middle of a really dark time in my life -- but strangely enough, writing it helped me through it.
For not really chiptune but tracked music in general, stuff by lamb is nice and 'emotional'.
And I like cute little teddy by edzes as a song in which you can relate when a bit 'down-ish'. Very cute song.

ANOTHER THING.
when i made my pilgrimage to Super Potato (oldschool game store mecca) during blip tokyo last fall, there was a machine running a game's attract mode, at full volume, non-stop. it made the whole floor feel like a desolate mausoleum for an ancient videogame-playing civilization from thousands of years ago... super creepy.
it was this (0:00-0:40):
i find a lot of modern game boy music sad in an emotional way.
actually its probably peoples reactions to bland music that make me sad.

No-one did it like the SNES composers. Wonderfully sad harmonies topped off with creepy early 90s distant harmonica/detuned orchestra hits/flutes/bells/etc.
