Game music that sounds a little TOO familiar...

Saw this article on 1up.com, it's about a month or so old, but it's kinda interesting. Shows how a number of famous games (Chrono Trigger, FF, Sonic) borrow from other music sources. There's a few EDM-related ones, most notably a few Sonic games cribbing from 808 State. I figure, that there are quite a few gamers on here, that this may be interesting.

Though they forgot a few:
Streets of Rage 1 stage 1 has a part (1:45 in the video) that comes from Pump Up The Jam

And of course, Garou: Mark of the Wolves (an SNK fighting game), borrows from a song that everyone on this board should know (listen around 0:55):
Garou: Mark of the Wolves - Rock Howard Theme

Oh yeah... and if anyone knows any other game music/EDM crossovers, share 'em with us!
