SID originals that are actually covers
This kind of information is (usually, but not always) included with STIL, but anyways, does not seem to be common knowledge here and there.
Personally, i was a bit surprised to learn about:
Zoids - Synergy - Ancestors
International Karate - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
Turrican Title Theme - Transformers (1986) - Escape (and the end tune, too)
Lazy Jones - Star Dust - Electronic Ensemble - It Happened Then
What else is notable, from the top of your heads? =) |

Probably not that big of a surprise to many, but for a very long time I wasn't aware that The Legendary Commando was originally composed for the NES and Arcade by Tamayo Kawamoto.
But perhaps this version of The Great Gianna Sisters Intro is somewhat less known.
Every Jarre tune is used in at least a couple of games I guess? But let's get the biggest classic out of the way: Bomb Jack |

Regarding Giana Sisters I am sure it's just a coincidence. That Tangerine Dream arp is a very simple rather typical Berlin School minor line - there are only 12 notes to choose from, after all ;)
Speaking of Tangerine Dream, Last Ninja II subtune10 covers a track from "White Eagle": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfjJ_qcBQ9A |

Subtune #2 from Space Moguls OST is a cover from The Last Of The Mohicans soundtrack. This is not noted in STIL.txt yet.

Yep, one example (which was a surprise to me much later) was Loco by Ben Daglish https://www.lemon64.com/game/loco
turned out to be Equinoxe part 5:

Also (onto demos now), Sweet Infection by Arise... the first tune by Randall (Hate Bush) I always expected to be original... then later he gave me a CD mix of Polish songs ranging from 70s to early 2010s, one track in particular (I think from late 90s or early 2000s) I immediately caught it's similarities to a particular part of the SID tune. It's titled in Polish of course so I can't remember what it's called. :) He may be able to help you here. |
