Obscure arcade game that rips-off Lemmings tunes

There's a Gals Panic clone that, in addition to plagiarizing that controversial game, uses at least three melodies from the original Lemmings without attribution. The game in question is "Paradise," by the South Korean company Yun Sung Electronics, and it steals the songs tim5.mod, tim7.mod (AKA Mozart's Turkish March), and lemming3.mod from Lemmings.

Here is some gameplay from the game:


The Tomato Watcher

I imported Paradise's music bank into Audacity (since it can work with VOX ADPCM) and found that it steals not only tim5, tim7, and lemming3, but tim3 and tim8 as well! All 5 tracks are recordings from the DOS version (with the AdLib sound card) at 8000 Hz. That's not the rate at which they're played back in the game due to how the soundchip is clocked, which is why the example above sounds a little slow.

I did a little digging into Yun Sung's other games, and found one called "Bomb Kick" from 1998 that steals, among other things, spdbass.mid from Lemmings Paintball!


I took the time to properly rip this one (which wasn't much time, it's the same procedure I took for the Lemmings arcade protoype SFX) so you can more easily make out how they (poorly) abridged the original tune.

Seems to be played through the Sound Blaster AWE32.
