I have found that the ES-1 synth is great for this kind of thing. I usually come across these "video game" sounds by accident while experimenting, so I don't remember exactly what I have done in the past to get them. Play with different settings - especially the LFO section. Try setting the LFO to modulate pitch and go from there....make sure that "Int via Whl" is set near the top if you are not using a mod wheel.
