(Oh, also, not related to bootleg games per se, but definitely related to bootleg
something: if you've ever watched "Animal Soccer World", or any of Dingo Pictures' other knockoff cartoons, you
may possibly recognize "Zip & Cindy" from KT44: Comedy/Animation Volume 1 (http://www.killertracks.com/#!/browse/browsed-results.aspx?selectedLabelId=8&SelectedCatalogNameId=11&SelectedCDId=601). Just maybe.)[/quote]Hah, should have known that they'd be too incompetent to make decent music on their own :lol: I remember that Toy Story knockoff they did had some Italo disco-sounding tune for the intro.
Anyway, I'm surprised these bootleggers don't just use music like this all the time. Then again, I suppose they don't have to worry about being sued over using well-known copyrighted music. :whistle:
well i'm currently *trying* to upload a video of that DDR clone - but in the meantime here's a list of all the songs on it, I was able to identify the origin of all of them aside from the five kids songs (I have my suspicions, but I'm not about to import a karaoke DVD from Hong Kong to find out)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F77XuQGfIpPUvtrKQOMrI3gGIItYsMBiZZ4Ar1w6MPw/ (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F77XuQGfIpPUvtrKQOMrI3gGIItYsMBiZZ4Ar1w6MPw/)
and here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nShEDS5j1DM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nShEDS5j1DM)
Found another use of production music! Apaqi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s89aPzhm554), from Sunnyflyer's console developed by Hummer Software, uses "The Race" from Killer Tracks KT18 (http://www.killertracks.com/#!/browse/browsed-results.aspx?selectedLabelId=8&PageNo=4&SelectedCDId=577).
At this rate, it really wouldn't surprise me if the title tune from Hummer's Pokemon II, which keeps showing up in CubeTac's 16-bit hacks, is from a Killer Tracks CD as well.
Found another one! "Ghost Adventure" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG1mqv73pJ0#t=34m51s), CubeTac's hack of Ninja Jajamaru-kun, uses "101 Reveille" from Killer Tracks KT57 (http://www.unippm.co.uk/#!/browse/browsed-results.aspx?SelectedCDId=612).
I think I *might* have heard this presumably-production-music track from Dingo Pictures' Dinosaur Adventure in a Wellminds or Waixing 16-bit game (though I could be completely mistaken): https://youtu.be/v_XJIsDJgXc?t=240 (https://youtu.be/v_XJIsDJgXc?t=240) ..
Not bootleg-related specifically, but this case of production music in a licensed game is way too amazing not to mention in this thread. (Hat tip to @gdri on Twitter for catching this!)
The ~totally radical~ TurboGrafx CD game "Camp California" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHcGvB-tU-k), developed by Icom Simulations (one of the very few US-developed games on that system, as far as I can tell), has a soundtrack which consists of:
- A few tracks licensed from The Beach Boys.
- A lot more tracks taken from Universal Production Music's Network label.
The juxtaposition of these two sources is... certainly interesting, to say the least.
(Seriously, they managed to use every track from NM011 "After School Rock" (http://www.killertracks.com/#!/browse/browsed-results.aspx?selectedLabelId=36&SelectedCDId=2944). "Head Banger" from NM097 "Bringin' Down the House" (http://www.killertracks.com/#!/browse/browsed-results.aspx?selectedLabelId=36&PageNo=3&SelectedCDId=2813) also appears multiple times.)

It's probably more accurate to just say Bootleg Games? A lot of them aren't even from China, they're from Taiwan. Also, not all of them are from plug-n-plays; I don't think the Miwi BS9800 is a plug-n-play at least.
