* ''VideoGame/TonyHawksUnderground'' 2 allowed you to create your own custom graffiti tags and spray them everywhere, likely in response to the success of Jet Set Radio at the time.

* There's some generic graffiti in the various ''[[VideoGame/TonyHawksProSkater Tony Hawk]]'' games, as well as some not so generic graffiti, including in one level the Leeds United Football club logo.

* Fireball 4 in the original {{Mac}} version of ''VideoGame/DarkCastle'' had "Alaric Was Here", "Huns Rule" and "Vandals Sack". The [[SegaGenesis Genesis]] version idiotically replaced these with "Gamers Rule" and "Saddam Was Here".

* In ''TopTen'', the graffitti around Neopolis is a part of the background feel of a city inhabited exclusively by super-heroes and super-villains. Almost all of it is parodies of comics tag-lines throughout history or the territorial tags of Neopolis street gangs, who are themselves parodies of super-teams. The men-room graffitti at ''Godz'' (a bar patronized solely by PhysicalGods) is oriented toward the mythological clientele of the bar.
* ''JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac'' may lack the more artistic forms of graffiti, but averts this trope when he takes advantage of using the graffiti to help set the mood, reference something, or poke fun at typical writings found on bathroom walls, Such as "If you looking for a good time, don't call me.

* Averted in ''TheInvisibles'', where King Mob is often portrayed as tagging properly.
