Yesterday I made an interesting discovery. I was watching an old french movie, Le Feu Follet by Louis Malle ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057058/ ), based on a novel by Drieu La Rochelle, and I noticed that part of the soundtrack was used in a PC-88 game...Mirrors!

In particular, this track is identical to the one that is used in the movie

This shouldn't be a surprise since the game is filled with movie references...but this one is quite tasty. I didn't imagine that some japanese game developer could had a taste for old existentialist french movies :D :D

"Gymnopédie No.1" composed by Erik Satie, in 1888.

This may be a world-famous classic tune...!

Nice find.........but I kinda already figured that out.

Many people at the time, would prodigy many things from
popular culture/current events/and history. Like in the "Dirty Pair"
a scene where a muscle bound, Indian fromer 3WA agent charged
at the duo, but instead flew out the window.
That scene in particular, was taken from "Mcgyver"
The moment I saw that scene, I said Mcgyver.

"Indian Jones" also made many appearances, as well as "Girl Boss".
Of course South Park was mentioned in Panzer Dragon: Zewi

Lufia II, and Final Fantasy Adventure for the SNES, also featured
music that was popular at the time. Another example is how an SNES
shooter replaced the music from that sports theme music during the
1990's.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Of course this is part of the reason why it was so easy to get into videogames,
comics, or even animation. You could borrow as you wish, because whatever the output
was something that was original.

Nowadays when you make something, the problem is with organization, and dedication.
Then their is distractions along the way. To think, if this was 1979, some things would be
alot more simplier then others.
