    Found a cool one today. My retro 386DX machine that I built has gotten me interested in old PC audio hardware, so I was listening to audio comparisons on various games and stumbled across the opening theme for Space Quest 4. There's a part of the song that seems to be almost directly lifted from the old Battlestar Galactica theme. I'll like to the parts of the songs I'm talking about:

    Space Quest 4 - Opening Theme (Roland MT-32) (2:06 to 2:15)
    Battlestar Galactica - Main Theme (0:49 to 0:59)

    EDIT: It's worth noting that in the Roland MT-32 version, the last note of the part I'm talking about is lower than the Battlestar theme, but in the Adlib version it sounds like the same note as the BSG theme. Here's the Adlib version for comparison.
    Space Quest 4 - Opening Theme (Adlib) (0:44 to 0:53)
