80s Music/Three 80's songs (i think 80's)

Question
I have been trying to find the original songs that these three midi files are based on. The first song sounds like some 80's electronic pop/techno that i can't quite put my finger on, and the other two sound a little like movie themes to me, but I can't really place them either! I hope you can help! Here are the links:
(map01 i also saw on a site and it was named hitfloor.mid if that helps!)

Answer
Dear Nick,

I left your question unanswered for the weekend unlike the two questions I received together with your mail. I spent the 2 days listening and figuring what original song they were lifted from but I unfortunately I can't figure it out. It seems they were originally done except that the beats were somewhat similar to some songs we know. The reason why a number of songs run through my mind while figuring it out. Listening to it repeatedly makes one believe that the melody were so simple they were just being repeated and enhanced by beats.
Anyway, you are free to write the other experts. They may have a different answer.

Maraming salamat po!

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
