80's Songs that influenced the soundtrack

[Wolfe]

What a great soundtrack the game has, someone clearly listened to a lot of classic 80's instrumental tunes to get inspiration.

Here's a few tracks it reminded me of, and there's probably a load of 80's movie soundtracks like this too, I just can't remember any more of them offhand right now.

The Blood Dragon soundtrack really gets that classic 80's instrumental synth sound right.

Most of songs are clear modern version of the terminator soundtrack. For example Warzone in Blood Dragon OST

We just need more 80's style games.

which itself is inspired by John Carpenter movie soundtracks, Escape from New York, The Fog etc.
some might say, that those are inspired by some cheap italian movie scores - but where to stop?
