Listen to the snippet of Jigsaw. At 1:16 a simple melody starts and I'm pretty sure it's similar to one that was used in a demo or game. Does anybody know which one?

Hmm... Maybe from the Titlescreen of "The Great Giana Sisters"

track listing with 'play' but not 'stop' button = usability fail.

Yep, that's Great Giana Sisters alright. But I dare say that both of those songs owe more to J. S. Bach than they do to each other, so I'll let them off.

I can't hear any similarity to the title tune of Giana Sisters.

It might be hard for you, but try clicking on the play button again and be enlightened.

Oh. Now I get it. I checked the title tune of the Amiga version and not the C64 one.

Well, it's similar, but not stolen. Rather "inspired".
Why do german people always link to the german version of websites, even on Pouet? :)

I second the "Inspired" btw.

You'd find hundreds of songs with equal or very similar 4-note slomo-apreggio-like "melodies". There is nothing to rip in the first place. It's like saying "oh noes, he ripped my 2d-starfield routine". :)

gloom: Because they prefer reading the pages in their native language and because they forget to copy the English link instead? :)

And sometimes you get redirected to your lankweetsh depending on the IP address :)

At the bottom right you can change the lankweetsh, but I didn't think someone needs the English page to find the play button :)

that was exactly my point in the second sentence you quoted. :) Happens a lot to me with last.fm links, and that's exactly the reason why one URL for all languages would be good for such international services (just like youtube removed their country-specific URLs).
