It struck me that the music during the opening credits of the game sounded just a tiny bit familiar, and after doing some research, I discovered that whoever made this game simply stole that piece of music from a pre-existing game called The Amazing Spider-Man And Captain America In Doctor Doom's Revenge.
To compare, here's Nyet 3 (song appears 43 seconds in)

And here's the other game:

What does this mean? I have no idea, but I thought it interesting all the same.
EDIT: Well, I did some more research, turns out this piece was originally composed by Ad Lib Inc., hence why both games are able to use it. Now I feel foolish.
Adding to that, you know how Ross wanted anyone inclined to do a remix of the opening credits song? Well, that kinda happened.
Yeah, David Murray aka The 8-Bit Guy did a cover of the track when demonstrating a multi-track recorder. The construction of the song starts around the 3 minute mark, and the full mix starts at the 6 minute mark. It's incomplete, very rough, probably not what Ross had in mind, and it's a slowed down version to boot, but hey, what a coincidence right?
More interestingly, he still has the AdLib JukeBox floppy disk that contains the original song, that reveals that the song is called "Marvel-T" and it was on version 1.5 of the program... except when he showed the disk running it said version 1.6 on boot-up. No image of the disk online, as far as I know, has that song, and they're version 1.6 or greater.
Apparently other versions of the JukeBox had classical music remixes as well, which does raise the question on how much work Stephen Goth really did, but his version of Funeral March of a Marionette sounds different at least if this page is anything to go by, so who knows.
Maybe if anyone's inclined, they can ask Murray for a disk image of that floppy and release it, since it doesn't seem to exist elsewhere.
