Tecmo was guilty of this several times.  For example, Raiga's "Kartus":

and EL&P's Tarkus.

^ I appreciate that the letters in "Tarkus" were simply re-arranged to create the song title "Kartus"...this is, clearly, a nod in the right direction. An acknowledgement, however obscure.

I love this stuff.

Gate of Thunder Stage 6 has a part in the solo taken from Rainbow's A Light in the Black.




Lords of Thunder Dezant sounds like Rainbow's Gates of Babylon.




Gate of Thunder Stage 1 has a part that sounds like Deep Purple's Highway Star. ("I love it and I need it")




Oh and Deep Purple's Burn also seems to be Flame Stag from Mega Man X2. Burn, flame...




Haha, can anyone point me to the music appreciation thread here? SAPPHIRE'S MUSIC IS AWESOME!

I'd rather be playing guitar or listening to a PC Engine CD soundtrack.

Currently playing PC Engine, Saturn, and SNES MSU1.

I only got to play Gates of Thunder for a few minutes at MGC but I knew I loved that soundtrack for a reason. Great comparisons vacantplanets! I need to get a cd attachment and that game  now!

Still two of my favorite soundtracks like 20 years later.  What I wouldn't give for a third game.

I like the soundtrack to Lords of Thunder a tad more but both are fantastic.

It's always great to see where these musical influence coming from.  Sometimes so obscure and it makes its way into a massive Video Game Music Hit.

Lords of Thunder Dezant sounds like Rainbow's Gates of Babylon.






Although that is pretty close and does seem to be the "inspiration", the Dezant bgm also happens to sound similar to the Attacker song "Lords of Thunder". :P




The Winds of Thunder logo also uses the same blue/yellow metallic style as the album that track is from.

The theme of Tusk in KI2 seemed to take a page out of the soundtrack to Conan the Destroyer.

The Treasure Chest theme from the early Ys games may have been ripped off from Metroid. Seriously, listen to the 'Got Item' jingle from that series. It's almost identical!

I've noticed that myself!  Though very similar, they aren't exactly the same and I don't think that either one stole from the other but that they're just similar.  Zelda 2's item-get theme also sounds in line with the other two, give it a listen in case you haven't in a few years.
