* ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'''s Sector 5 and X theme, named "Seven Four" because [[UncommonTime it's in 7/4 time]], has a synth line very reminiscent of the 7/8 synths in Music/{{Rush}}'s "Tom Sawyer". The composer swears blind that he'd never heard it before.

* It is readily apparent that the [[https://youtu.be/lGJlMPyZMEI theme song]] that plays when you fight Ryth, a character from the ''VideoGame/InfinityBlade'' series that is fought as a BonusBoss in the second and third installments, is more than a bit similar to Duel of Fates, the most iconic song in ''Film/StarWarsThePhantomMenace''. Considering the battle against him involves a duel with lightsabers by another name and he speaks with a voice that sounds somewhat like Darth Vader's, it's clear that this is intentional.
