Looks like Falcom composers are still on fire!  |

Based on: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCmUWNUzaqoWhich is again used in a modern movie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETcaS9meN1IThere ya go... Shakespeare to Ninja Gaiden to Hunger Games. = = = = = = Also... @2:05 when the theme kicks in... Based on: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6BQKFs3-VMWhat's neat is that "Here's to You", the ending theme of MGS4 and intro theme to Ground Zeroes is composed by Ennio Morricone as well as "Harmonica's Theme". It gave me chills hearing that theme rise up in a trailer. Kojima loves him some Spaghetti Westerns. |

I did a little comparison of a game I got in the mail recently, FIST for the Sega Saturn. It's a really cruddy 3D fighter with some rather awesome (to me) music. I picked it up purely for the Redbook audio It was pretty neat to find a track on the CD that was blatantly a take on Namie Amuro's Body Feels EXIT. I did a little comparison here - Body Feels Exit starts it off, then it cuts to the track from FIST. Then it goes back to Body Feels EXIT, and back to FIST again. The chord structure is a little different, and it's a little faster but the instrumentation is pretty close, though different enough to avoid a lawsuit. Maybe app.box.com/s/jj4npfskz3jhq0acud1vqflie4e28x3d |

Pretty much every song from Mug Smashers is ripped directly from The Combatribes. I'm guessing that counts.

I dunno. It’s not totally the same, and the pattern is simple enough to just be a coincidence.

Sonic Adventure 2's Green Forrest uses the pre-chorus of The Offspring's Americana. There's also the Game Over music from Shadow Of The Beast 2, of which the composer himself admitted in Youtube comments was deliberately lifted from Miami Vice. Some recentish Dragon Ball Z game pretty much copied its whole soundtrack from Stratovarius songs. Thunder Force IV's intro is reminiscent of the main riff of Dokken's Lighting Strikes Again. |

I'm not sure if this is a rip off or tribute but the power up jingle from Tyrian sounds like the one you can hear in Compile games. Tyrian |

I heard it is not at all uncommon for Japanese composers and arrangers to take elements from other tracks and make it their own. But with Yamamoto, according to Toei, he went too far with what he was doing. |

It's a clear tribute; the devs have said that Tyrian was highly inspired by Compile's shmups, and the Setup program's Jukebox calls this jingle "ZANAC5" (there is another track called ZANAC3 that is one of the level songs, IIRC). |

Best part is both were done by the same guy: Masaru Nakajima. And hey - at least A Great Ordeal is basically Far Beyond The Sun but actually audible, so I give him that. Man, I love comparing the two - it's just so... lame! Yngwie's main lead track is also very similar to the mansion theme in Simons Curse. |
