Some of these are iffy, but others are pretty damn close.

It makes sense that ZUN drew inspiration from old arcade games, particularly those by Zuntata, though it depends where you draw the line between "inspiration" and "plagiarism".

Also, from the Highly Responsive to Prayers music descriptions:
>the Legend of KAGE
>Before I did this song, I was making simple transcriptions (mostly from games) 60% of the time, and creating original pieces about 30% of the time. But after that, I stopped making the transcriptions altogether (because it was a pain). Though, that's not to say I never ever want to make them. By the way, what's the other 10%? (^^;

Not sure if this particular track is actually from The Legend of Kage. I did play the NES version but I don't remember much about it. I just remember getting pissed off at all the throwing stars everywhere.
