8/16 bit tunes made from a real movie soundtrack?

kremiso · Yesterday, 16:22

i'm searching for 8/16 bit games that have at least a tune remade from the same movie soundtrack counterpart

i'm posting here in General Retrogaming cause i'm searching for 8 and 16 bit systems, not just Amiga; not sure if its ok

something like Cobra on the C64

main tune :

movie tune (Skyline) :

i was thinking at Ghostbusters 2, but that seems a digitized one
do you know of something more?

50% isn't bad

perfect thanks, keep em coming
watched a Beverly Hills Cop longplay, the main menu tune seems the only music in the game (just a curiosity)

Blues Brothers seems another candidate, at least many cuts in the game tunes are close to real

There's probably (a lot) more of if you check movie tie-in games by Ocean.

seems mainly on the 8 bit side

tried both Darkman and Lethal Weapon (Amiga versions) a bit ago, they seems to be unrelated to the movies, music wise
fresh new soundtracks work, ofc kudos for that

Moonwalker also fit, audio talking i think the Megadrive is the better 16 bit version, and the C64 the 8 bit one; the Amiga version seems to use just digitized cuts, i dont like it (as the 'game' in first) :

that Bombjack C64 - Thundercats (cartoon) was also interesting

Rambo C64 soundtrack has tunes very close to some from the orchestral movie soundtrack.

And the Amstrad and 128K spectrum versions too (well there was a terrible beeper version on the 48K but it barely counts).

Both of those had recognizable versions of film tunes in Ghostbusters 2 as well.

I seem to remember that c64 Turrican's title tune was 'borrowed' from the 80s Transformers movie
