Game music that reminds you of another game?

[Frindis]

I have been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance in between my Path of Exile 2 grind and have been struck by nostalgia! The music in Kingdom Come has hauntingly familiar notes that echo the soundtracks from both Oblivion and Morrowind. Whether this was intentional or not, the similarities triggered them memberberries! Have you experienced anything similar? Did you like it or perhaps it was more of an annoyance? Other reactions maybe?

It has happened, but I can't think of any specifics right now. I did once see an, ahem, adult video that used music from Creeper World. That was definitely unexpected.

I'm pretty sure it was intentional:

A few years later, in the Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children movie, this similar song:

Then, in FF7: Remake, the Advent Children song shows up again:

A choir is singing the Advent Children song in FF7: Rebirth, which I bumped into last night, which reminded me to post in this topic.
