The main melody of one of the early stages of the 1993 Amiga game "Shadow of the Beast" (which starts at about thirty seconds into this video)
resembles the melody of this Moby/Sinead O'Connor song from 2001 (starts at the beginning of the song)
It's such a small and specific thing though, I really doubt Moby stole it or anything, even if that was his whole thing. Plus this is the best song on that album

technically the mortal kombat theme song is every single euro dance song from 1991-1994 thrown into a blender :D
Heh, never got back to this thread. I guess for me it's more a combination of Blinded's pre-chorus kind of matching the pentatonic minor bassline in the bridge section of Green Hill along with both being mostly built around a IV-iii-ii-I progression. It's subtle and, like, that progression is in most of Sonic 1's music so I can see why people wouldn't quite be as strong on it as I would be.
Really I should have posted *this* song because, like, the similarity is far more overt here I think:
Surprised I haven't seen this but:
Rock Howard's theme song from Garou Mark of the Wolves which is blatantly children by robert miles

Hey, there is still life in this thread! How about Chrono Cross and Jethro Tull?
The time intervals between the notes and not durations are different in both songs, the key probably too, but the sequence should be the same nevertheless. The Chrono Cross song becomes a little bit faster at 0:40, maybe try again with this?
I mean if we wanna talk about Stone Cold Crazy...
Definitely an "influence" in the beginning haha
I did include it in my blog entry. Must have forgotten it here though.
I even looked through the thread for Stone Cold Crazy and couldn't find it, though the site is super finicky right now with E3 coverage.
How about a more exotic entry this time? (Rudra no Hihou)

Added an alternative explanation for the FFVI Terra Theme:
And as a follow up, Final Fantasy III and a song by Sergei Prokofiev:
Can definitely hear the influences here

The TMNT retrospective podcast on Retronauts reminded me of this, which I'm surprised never comes up in threads like these. I wasn't even a huge Beatles fan back in 89 and instantly thought of this. Maybe nobody got to this part because the damn thing was too hard.
Which Beatles song do you mean?
Edit: Come Together, I see. The four bass notes have a certain resemblance. What is missing in the beatles part are the several melodic drop ins.

These sound nothing alike to me. Just typical over blown orchestra video game music.
I think I heard similar samples in other musicals:
Musicals of that time are often a mix of opera and soft rock. There might be other pieces that predate both.
Anniversary entry with some games that didn't make it but are still worth a look I think:
At the same time, the main riff in Revolt III is from Wily's Castle in Mega Man 2.
If you care about MM2 Wily Stage you may be interested in my coming blog entry from sunday.
I've just recently discovered an opposite version of this.
The chorus of Staind's "Fade" is the beginning of the chorus in Zelda II's opening music.
Listen beginning at 32 seconds
Now listen to this, beginning at 1:05

I guess after some time with this you hear similarities everywhere. Like this Shantae:
