* The later ''Videogame/MechWarrior'' games often forbid weapons to be mounted in the [[HumongousMecha battlemech's]] cockpit/head, but the Atlas (a towering, [[ShouldersOfDoom broad-shouldered]] mech with a [[SkeleBot9000 skull for a head]]) in ''Mech 4'' caries a single energy hardpoint on the head in its right eye, allowing players to fit [[BeamSpam pulse lasers]] into it for maximum eye-zapping. The Cyclops in the [[FreewareGame free re-release]] has an even larger energy slot for its vestigial "head" (the cockpit is in the chest), allowing it to shoot ''[[LightningGun lightning beams]]'' from its [[CyberCyclops glowing red eye]].

* Metatron, an optional boss in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' has these as his ultimate attack in the form of Fire of Sinai, in which he lets out an EvilLaugh beforehand. Did I mention he's supposed to be the voice/face of God?

* In ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheArcadeGame'', Krang's mechanical body had them.
** In the first stage of ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime'', Krang had ''electricity''-shooting eyes. This did not, however, carry over to the year 2020.
* C'thun, FinalBoss of the Ahn'Qiraj raid dungeon from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', is a stock EldritchAbomination boss with a particular affinity for eye beams. During the first phase of the encounter you're fighting an enormous eyeball (the "Eye of C'thun"), which uses an attack called -- you guessed it -- Eye Beam. During the second phase, C'thun will spawn so-called Giant Eye Tentacles. I'll give you three guesses as to what kind of attack these have...
** While the game hasn't seen another Cthulhu ShoutOut since, demons suspiciously similar to TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Beholders and more eye tentacles uphold the EyeBeams quota.
** The game now has another Cthulhu shout out with the Secrets of Ulduar patch -- the final boss is named Yogg Saron and is [[BodyHorror very]] [[EyeScream much]] [[MindRape an]] EldritchAbomination. In the instance leading up to Yogg Saron is a boss named Kologarn. He guards the bridge (well, he ''is'' the bridge) to further areas of the instance. He has a particularly nasty attack called Focused Eyebeam that he uses occasionally. (He is a construct and part of the strategy to defeat him involves destroying his arms. When he loses an arm he will yell "Just a scratch" or "[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Only a flesh wound!]]" among others, but that's [[ShoutOut another article.]])
** In the Plague Quarter of the Naxxramas instance there is a gauntlet through trash mobs with Eye Stalks that have a kind of eye beam attack. I'm not sure what the attack does as the guild with which I run Naxxramas makes every effort to not stay around them long enough to find out.
* A number of powersets in ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' and ''City of Villains'' include laser eye beam attacks.
* ROB from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'' has these, and his Final Smash turns them into a whirling laser helix of death. They also bounce.
** Don't forget Tabuu.
* In the ''{{VideoGame/Kirby}}'' series, Waddle Doo's got... one of these. Makes you wonder about its biology, considering it is nothing ''but'' a huge eye on a tiny circular body with nubby arms and feet.
** Kirby himself [[CannibalismSuperpower gets these from swallowing R.O.B. in]] ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash Bros]]'' [[CannibalismSuperpower or enemies with the laser abilities in his own series]]: he gets visors that go over his eyes and shoot beams, although the latter isn't shown on his eyes until he shoots. Surprisingly averted when he eats a Waddle Doo: He shoots the beams through a magic wand.
* A microgame from ''VideoGame/{{WarioWare}}: Smooth Moves'' gives you laser eyes and instructs you to "Destroy them all". It's a blast, pardon the pun.
** Other microgames earlier in the series employ this trope, starting with Dr. Crygor's boss game, "Alien Laser Hero."
* If you lose a stage in ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'', it cuts to a scene of the KingOfAllCosmos doing the LoomingSilhouetteOfRage thing while lecturing The Prince (or whichever Cousin you're playing as in the sequels) and shooting EyeBeams at them.
* The King Oni HumongousMecha from ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer: Red Alert 3'' has these.
* Viy, one of the bosses of ''VideoGame/{{La-Mulana}}'', has a WaveMotionGun version of this from his single eye that he can use as his most powerful attack.
** The character himself is based of Viy - a monster from a horror story by Creator/NikolaiGogol. While the Viy did not have eye beams per se, looking at his face is what breaks the holy protection circle the protagonist uses to keep the demons away when he is forced to spend several nights in a haunted church.
* Zetta from ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'' has his [[strike:[[GetterRobo GETTER]]]] [[CallingYourAttacks ZETTA BEAM!]] eye lasers, which is about the only way he can actually hurt someone following his unfortunate transformation.
** They've become one of his signature moves in all of his appearances in other NipponIchi games, where they're shown to be ''a lot'' more destructive, [[EverythingMakesAMushroom creating mushroom clouds]] or [[DetonationMoon blowing up the moon]] depending on the game.
* [[ItMakesSenseInContext Vince Carter from]] ''VideoGame/BarkleyShutUpAndJamGaiden'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext has two forms of these.]]
* Archmages in ''VideoGame/WarhammerOnline'' get them.
** Specifically, the ability is called Radiant Gaze. See here for pictures: http://www.wardb.com/spell.aspx?id=9264#screenshots
* In the ''[[VideoGame/SengokuBasara Sengoku Basara Battle Heroes]]'' opening, thousand-foot-tall versions of primary antagonists OdaNobunaga and ToyotomiHideyoshi are given eye beams, for no other reason except that [[RuleOfCool it looks awesome]].
* Oh, ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''... Mazinger did it, so of course they did it. The [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4 Grungust]] series' Eyesolid Laser, [[SuperRobotWarsAlpha RyuuKoOu]]'s Rastaban Beam, the SRX's Gaun Genocider and the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL Rushbird]]'s Maser Eye, for example.
** Subverted in the Grungust Types 2 and 3: their "Eye Lasers" are actually fired from a PowerCrystal located ''above'' the eyes.
* Kano from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' has an [[RedEyesTakeWarning artificial eye]] that could shoot a laser in later games of the series.
** [[spoiler:He kills [[BadassNormal Stryker]] with one in ''Armageddon'''s intro.]]
* In a demonstration video for ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'', [[spoiler: Stone Zealots from the Terran campaign are seen firing energy beams from their eyes]].
* Reisen of ''Videogame/{{Touhou}}'' can fire these in the fighting games. Comes in different varieties too, from the garden variety straight blast, to expanding energy rings, to short range energy bursts.
** Yuugenmagan and Kikuri had eyebeams too during their boss fights.
* This is one of the available monster powers in ''VideoGame/CrushCrumbleAndChomp''
* In ''VideoGame/IRobot'', the eye who's watching you, kills you with an eye beam if you're caught jumping.
* A bit of a variation on this trope in ''VideoGame/StarFox64'' when Andross shoots lasers from his eyes. Why is it a variation you ask? Because his eyes ''detach from his brain and chase after you, spewing red laser beams''.
* In a platformer video game adaptation of ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'', they took the symbolic eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg and ran with it as far as they could, turning it into [[http://greatgatsbygame.com/about.html this]] craziness.
* Quistis's ''Laser Eyes'' [[PowerCopying Blue Magic]] LimitBreak.
* ''VideoGame/SilentHill3'''s Heather Beam and Sexy Beam.
* ''VideoGame/{{Killer7}}'': As if creepy explosive Heaven Smile weren't bad enough, the Laser Smile variety can fire a long range beam as powerful as a normal smile's up-close detonation. Fortunately they are immobile and die after a single discharge.
* The Praetorian from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''.
* The [[HoppingMachine X-Bot]] boss from ''VideoGame/HeavyWeapon'' has these. Strangely, [[GiantEyeOfDoom Eyebot]] does ''not'' have this- his eye only shoots out regular shots, it's his CombatTentacles that have the beams instead.
* Metatron, an optional boss in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' has these as his ultimate attack in the form of Fire of Sinai, in which he lets out an EvilLaugh beforehand. Did I mention he's supposed to be the voice/face of God?
* ''VideoGame/KingdomsOfAmalurReckoning'' takes a page out of CelticMythology by making one of the Tuatha's (here an army of evil Fair Folk) deadliest weapons a Balor (here a Greater [[EldritchAbomination Niskaru]]). The game's Balor is similar to the one from myth, right down to having one eye that unleashes a powerful Eye Beam when opened. The Balor also has a rider that keeps its eye shut with a harness to keep it from killing its own army with its gaze.
* ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' has Shiki's third level fusion, which transforms Mr. Mew to a giant cat-godzilla thing that fires lasers from it's eyes.
* ''VideoGame/DungeonsOfDredmor'' gives you this power when you take the final skill in the Perception skill tree. [[hottip:*:Why Perception? Don't ask, nobody knows, not even the [[SeriesMascot Diggles.]]
* The Killer Eye viruses in the ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' series use this as their sole means of offense, only firing when something enters their line of sight. It [[UnblockableAttack pierces shields]], paralyzes, ''and'' ignores MercyInvincibility, which makes it extremely useful when utilized as a battle chip.
** In the sixth game of the series, Mega Man can fire these as an extremely effective charged shot while utilizing the Killer/[[{{Bowdlerise}} Erase]] cross.
* ''VideoGame/QuakeII'' has the Brain, an enemy that shoots red lasers from it's eyes.
* In ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' Loaders, Constructors, and Lab Rats all have these. The Loaders eye attack is slow-moving and not that strong, the eye beams of the Constructors and Lab Rats, much less so.
* Invoked in ''League of Legends'' via the champions Galio and Cassiopeia. The former is a literal interpretation of the trope, the latter is a Medusa-style gaze.
