* [[Gilbert and Sullivan]] plundered Gilbert's old "Bab Ballads" for plot ideas on a few occasions.
* [[Todd in the Shadows]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131011135056/http://blip.tv/nostalgia-chick/nchick-todd-and-lupa-the-spiderman-musical-review-5427281 says that] in ''[[Spider-Man]]: [[The Musical|Turn Off the Dark]]'', Bono and The Edge sometimes just take some of [[U2]]'s songs and put different lyrics (one is blatantly the same as "Vertigo"!).
* Some of the music in ''[[Chess (theatre)|Chess]]'' borrows from songs written by composers Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus for [[ABBA]]. In particular, the chorus of "I Know Him So Well" was based on the chorus of "I Am An A" and the chorus of "Anthem" used the chord structures from the guitar solo from "Our Last Summer".
** Their musical ''Kristina från Duvemåla'' features some music recycled from Andersson's solo albums. The most noticable is "Ljusa Kvällar Om Våren," which is based on the second segment of the titular suite from ''Klinga Mina Klockor''.
Line 97:
* Some reviews accused ''[[Fossil Fighters]]'' of being an in-house ''[[Pokémon]]'' clone from Nintendo, since they're both [[Mons]] games—and the initial evil you fight is ''very'' similar to Team Rocket. However, aside from that, there's not a whole lot the two games share mechanics-wise, and even story-wise after about the halfway point.
* Harmonix created ''Karaoke Revolution'' for [[Konami]] and the first two ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' games. After [[Activision]] purchased Red Octane, Harmonix were left with the rights to those games' source code, but not their brand names. Their next project was ''[[Rock Band]]'', which used a tweaked version of ''[[Guitar Hero]]'''s gameplay for guitar, and a tweaked version of ''Karaoke Revolution'''s for vocals.
** ''[[Rock Band]] Unplugged'' and the DS version of ''[[Lego Adaptation Game|Lego]] Rock Band'' in turn cribbed from ''Amplitude'', a rhythm game they developed for Sony prior to ''[[Guitar Hero]]''. Just so you know, [https://web.archive.org/web/20111231051413/http://kotaku.com/226215/harmonix-denied-frequency-sequel-on-psp Sony vetoed a direct sequel to that game even after Harmonix became a major developper], so...
* [[Capcom]] had to relied on this once they had already [[Capcom Sequel Stagnation|milked out]] the ''[[Street Fighter II]]'' franchise dry. The ''[[Darkstalkers]]'' and [[Marvel vs. Capcom|Marvel]] series are the most immediately obvious examples. A much more obscure example is ''Ring of Destruction'', a sequel to ''Slam Masters'' that ditched the wrestling format of the original game in order to play more like ''Super Street Fighter II''.
* Like ''[[Rock Band]]'' above, the ''[[Call of Duty]]'' series was created by former ''[[Medal of Honor]]'' developers. In turn, the later ''MoH'' games have gameplay rather similar to ''CoD''. And now the series is dueling with ''[[Modern Warfare]]''.
