Deep Purple's "Burn" is the same as Alien Crush "Lunar Eclipse" theme.   ](*,)

And also the original Zelda tunes were copied from a single song: Deep Purple's April.

Comrade, you are not the only clueless bastard here. 

I had no idea!

I recall reading something about Deep Purple + Zelda, but, to be honest, it must quickly evaporated from my ever-drying brain.

UPDATE: Call me crazy, but I feel that the tune from BLOODY WOLF is an even closer match to Deep Purple's Burn.

I gotta find a video to link to...

UPDATE: OK, I guess I'm wrong; I thought a tune in Bloody Wolf matched with "Burn"...but I can't find it.

OK, I'm hearing some similarities, but nothing at all I would consider "taken from". The best I can manage is that MAYBE, just maybe these songs inspired some of the video game tunes.

Well I think we can all agree both Deep Purple and Alien Crush are awesome...

I believe that Download has music from Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and other bands. I think that Gomola Speed is the other game with familiar sounding tracks.

Dude! Will you have time to create an audio/video comparison piece? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

Or, if you're too busy, provide the track titles so someone can create a comparison.

I have to look in my ancient notes because I know I found a few interesting similarities (probably just coincidence, but it's fun) over the years. I had a notebook from 10+ years ago that I can't find (it really irks me)...but I know at least 2-3 PCE games were in my notes.

I never knew about this Depp Purple Zelda copy until now.

I was thinking, "this is only kinda sorta a copy."  Then the dungeon music popped up and it was blatant.  I am actually pretty floored by this!

The Burn thing is also pretty cool, but the fact one of the most iconic soundtracks in video game history is essentially a cover is really blowing my mind.

Not Turbo related, but I've always felt the menu screen theme from Lucienne's Quest sounded like the Simpsons theme!  This is the only video I could find at the moment

Here's a video from the Jp version, plays a different part of it

Well we do know Judas Priest and Balistix are forever connected (Along with the Book:  The Steel Tsar)

SHOCK!

Somewhat related, the Metal Gear Solid theme was lifted from a Russian symphonic composer Svidirov.
