Excuse my lack of musical culture, but what's the theme that's "remixed" in Gyruss?

It's Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. I could never dig galaga or galaxian, but for some reason I just loved Gyruss on the nes.

Thanks! I used to play it a lot on my Commodore 64C (I'm old) and it was quite addictive. I still play it on emu from time on time.

I played the arcade version (at an itinerant funfair's smoky stall) when I was 13 and loved it. I reached Earth a couple of times, and I must say the vibrating sound effets+ the music made it awesome. Definitely one of my favourite early shooters, along with Poo Yan ;-)
