Am I the only person that finds similarites between Space Harrier's theme and Blake 7's?

Another great tune from the 80`s (until min 2´30´´´), sadly I couldn´t find Atari st version, but the Amiga one have a similar sound quality.

And others from original Castlevania. When listening to it, I can almost hear the sounds of killing monsters/breaking candles at certain points :)

(the Atari St version sound was much better)

I´ve noticed that all of you are posting 8 bit machines music. Most of them are very catchy, but there is a huge diference in sound quality betwen Atari St and Amiga and the rest of computers of that time. We must recognize that many composers made a great work with all the limited resources they had.
