76	----
77	* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
78	** In episode two of the ''Creator/{{Netflix}}'' documentary ''High Score'', a pixel-art dramatization of the infamous ''Universal vs. Nintendo'' case over whether ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' was a copyright infringement over ''Film/KingKong'' appropriately has Nintendo's lawyer John Kirby [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger pointing]] during the trial, including a replica of the rushing blue background.
79	** ''VideoGame/LilGatorGame'' has the title character's confrontation with Duke the duck being staged as a typical ''Ace Attorney'' trial, complete with reaction shots, with fellow friend Martin called in as a witness.
80	* ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast1988'':
81	** To promote their fourth album, ''Dear Agony'', Music/BreakingBenjamin released a flash game on their website based on ''Altered Beast'' called ''Altered Benjamin'', starring the lead singer as the player character. It can be played [[http://starvingeyes.com/archive/games/alteredbenjamin/ here]].
82	** Music/MatthewSweet named his fourth album ''Altered Beast'' after the game. A live EP of his is also called ''Son of Altered Beast''.
83	** ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'': In "How the Nerd Stole Christmas", the Nerd calls the Platform/SegaGenesis port of ''Altered Beast'' "A nut-kicking feast I can't stand in the least."
84	** Creator/MF217 tends to prefer referencing the black sheep of the franchise known as "''Project Altered Beast''", because he personally believes with the right amount of polish and more effort put into the concept, he feels like it's perhaps the best course of action as to how to modernize the concept of a shapeshifting focused beat-em up even if it's not true to the roots of the series. One of his OC's, Mirror M, has a damaged eye which even in spite of the immense HealingFactor Mirror M has, it'll never heal, which is the same deal regarding a scar that the main character of this game has across his chest because of his rival having wounded him with a neurotoxin based claw swipe.
85	* ''Videogame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'': ''Website/SCPFoundation'': [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2786 SCP-2786]] is a metaphysical entity that can insert itself into horror narratives, where it attempts to portray itself as a brave hero and alter the story itself. One of these is listed as the videogame ''Amnesia: The Dark Descent''.
86	* ''VideoGame/AntimatterDimensions'':
87	** ''VideoGame/EscapeFromVantablack'': One of the title screen messages mentions that the dimensions here are not made of antimatter.

90	* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'':
91	** The French {{edutainment\|Show}} ConfessionCam parody web-series ''WebVideo/ConfessionsDHistoire'' has an episode about [[UsefulNotes/TheCrusades the First Crusade]] in which a [[TheHashshashin Hashshashin]] shows up. His attire is inspired by, of course, Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad.
92	** In ''Literature/TheOtherBoy'', Shane's dad has an advance copy of the latest ''Assassin's Creed'' game. He offers to get Shane a copy, but Shane's mom doesn't have an Xbox.
93	* ''VideoGame/{{Bastion}}'': ''VideoGame/{{Transistor}}'': Red has toys referencing the Creator/SupergiantGames' previous game: A Windbag and a Cael Hammer in her apartment.

96	* ''VideoGame/CandyCrushSaga'': In ''Literature/TheManyMysteriesOfTheFinkelFamily'', Caroline mostly uses her tablet to play Candy Crush when she's not using it for [[TheSpeechless communication]]. She's up to level 457.
97	* ''VideoGame/ClashAtDemonhead'':
98	** In ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'', one of Ramona's evil exes is the bassist for a band called "The Clash at Demonhead" (which references both this game and the band Music/TheClash). The band's drummer, Lynette Guycot, is named after Tom Guycot, a skeleton NPC you meet early in the game.
99	** ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' has a character named A Real Magic Skeleton, a FriendlySkeleton who looks just like Tom Guycot, right down to the red cape.
100	* ''VideoGame/DownWell'':
101	** ''VideoGame/TowerFortress'' is said to be directly inspired by Downwell. In fact, one of the main character's suits, the Downwell suit, stylizes the game into the style of Downwell.
102	* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'': In ''Literature/TheBoyFromAleppoWhoPaintedTheWar'', Adam's OnlyFriend Nabil sometimes invites him over to play ''Guild Wars''.
103	* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGearXrd'':
104	** The first episode of ''Literature/Gamers2015'': At the gaming club itself, Niina is playing ''Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2'', but most of the time is spent in a multi-player FirstPersonShooter with a very strong resemblance to ''VideoGame/CounterStrike''. The club also has ''Xrd Rev 2'' posters up on the walls.
105	** ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'': Players who own ''Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2'' can unlock lobby items that can make their avatar look like Sol Badguy/Ky Kiske.
106	* ''VideoGame/GoneHome'':

108	* ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'':

112	* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'': ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/49474084 What Your Favourite Cure Says About You]]'' claims that fans of ''Kid Icarus Uprising'' are most likely to select [[Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure Cure Earth]] to be their favourite Anime/PrettyCure.
113	* ''VideoGame/{{Lennus}}'': From ''VideoGame/AVeryLongRopeToTheTopOfTheSky'': The Developer's Note for the song "Royalty":
114	--> This song was pretty heavily inspired by the music from the Lennus series.\
115	I also attribute my overuse of the glockenspiel to the Lennus series (though there is no glockenspiel in this song).
116	* ''VideoGame/MaddenNFL'':
117	** The direct to streaming film "Fantasy Football" is about the daughter of a fringe NFL player controlling him in real life using a magical copy of ''Madden 23''.
118	** In ''Literature/DogsDontTalk'', Ben has a dream about playing the game with Johnny.
119	** On ''Series/TheGoodPlace'', Jason Mendoza is at one point challenged with beating the Tennessee Titans with his beloved Jacksonville Jaguars. He is unable to do so. [[spoiler:Much later, him playing the "perfect game" of Madden convinces him that he has achieved everything that he's ever wanted, convincing him to walk through the final door.]]
120	** WebVideo/ScottTheWoz is infatuated with ''Madden 08'', possibly because it was the last game released for the Platform/NintendoGameCube. It shows up constantly throughout his videos to the point where his 2017 ChristmasEpisode is called "A Very Madden 08 Christmas". Conversely, he's also shown some hostility towards ''Madden 09'', the final game released for the original Platform/{{Xbox}}.
121	* ''VideoGame/MafiaII'':
122	** Creator/MF217, during his co-op [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfMz9Em9obM Let's Play video]] for ''VideoGame/DigimonWorld4'', notices that [=SkullGreymon's=] Oblivion Bird move could be interrupted by magic attacks from which his friend Cory did by accident but [=MF217=] was quickly aware of how to deal with [=SkullGreymon=]. Among the things he said to get the point across during the fight was "Back me up Vito!".
123	* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
124	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' and its sequel ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' feature Mu La Flaga and his clone "brothers" (actually his fathers' clones) Rau Le Creuset and Rey Za Burrel, who are [[{{Expy}} all heavily inspired by]] the sons of Big Boss.
125	*** Mu, like Solid Snake, is the heroic "[[BadassNormal inferior son]]" of his father, and his BadassBoast[=/=]CatchPhrase is even Solid's RedBaron ("The Man Who Can Make the Impossible, Possible"). In the sequel, Mu comes back with an alias two years after [[NotQuiteDead supposedly dying]] just like Solid did in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty''.
126	*** Rau, like Liquid Snake, is the nefarious [[LongHairedPrettyBoy long-haired]] son who resented his father and brother.
127	*** Rey, like Solidus Snake, is the youngest known clone brother who doesn't share the first two's age (in Solidus' case, he appears much older whilst Rey appears his actual age) and is closely connected with the sword-wielding ContrastingSequelMainCharacter (Rey being Shinn Asuka's teammate, Solidus being Raiden's adoptive father).
128	** The titular ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' finds the iconic "!" pop-up when looking for a medal at ''VideoGame/{{Tapper}}''.
129	* ''VideoGame/MuseumMadness'':
130	** [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] mentioned ''Museum Madness'' in his review of ''Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos #2'':

132	* ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'':
133	** In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', the library is seen in the third dimention during [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E6TreehouseOfHorrorVI Homer³]], and the music for the end credits and Gracie Films VanityPlate are done in the style of the game.
134	** In Strong Bad's devlog for ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', he states he's playing ''Myst'' at one point, and pokes fun at its PortOverdosed status.
135	-->"I'm seeing who's taller, [[TheBigGuy Strong Mad]], or all the different versions of this freaking game stacked on top of each other."
136	* ''VideoGame/TheNeverhood'' is referenced by ''Videogame/{{Paradigm}}'': The glam nun has a tattoo of Klaymen on her arm.

139	* ''VideoGame/TheSims'':
140	** Zoe from ''Literature/SocialQueue'' loves ''The Sims'', and spends hours playing it when she's overwhelmed. When she was younger, she had an entire Sims neighborhood for all her friends.
141	** An AprilFoolsDay episode of ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'' had a scene filmed in ''The Sims''.
142	** Music/SiIvaGunner has a few Sims rips. For example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcYtijz9Zss Buy Mode 1]] from the first one is a mashup with Yung Gravy's "Richard Simmons", while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hVt_aK9e7Q the main theme of the third game]] fuses the usual [=SiIva=] memes together into a medley.
143	** Joel from WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} often plays Sims games. Since this is Joel we're talking about, these sessions can get more than a little weird. See his highlight videos for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV-tUAa2Uz4 Sims 3]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elzBq5C989s Sims 4]].
144	* ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'':
145	** In the first ''VideoGame/EcoQuest'' game, Adam tells Delphineus, "The stalagmites go up. The stalactites go down. If you don't know that, you've never played a Space Quest."

175	** ''[[TheMockbuster How to Ratatwang Your Panda]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' features a panda whose "secret weapon" is [[{{Fartillery}} his farts]], similar to moves Panda and Kuma can perform.
176	* ''VideoGame/{{Transistor}}'':
177	** ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'': Ekko's Classic skin references two Creator/SupergiantGames's games: The Kid of ''VideoGame/{{Bastion}}'' (note the red scarves, the hand wraps, and the utilitarian armour, as well as the white hair), while his weapon is reminiscent of the Transistor, with its green edges being similar color and glowy.
178	** In Creator/SupergiantGames's fourth game ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'', Christopher Saphire, voices Thanatos, and previously voiced Asher Kendrell, where they're both reserved, ([[NotSoStoic mostly]]) unemotional character, Asher is [[GayOption in a loving relationship with Grant]], who prioritizes duty and loyalty.

179	* ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'':
180	** Lea from ''Series/TheGoodDoctor'' introduces herself to Shaun by asking to borrow batteries because her controller died while she was playing ''Uncharted''.
181	** In the ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode ''[[Recap/CommunityS2E14AdvancedDungeonsAndDragons Advanced Dungeons And Dragons]]'', a copy of ''Uncharted 2: Among Thieves'' is seen as one of Fat Neil's "Outlets Of Fantasy". Also counts as a [[CompanyCrossReferences company cross reference]], as the series was produced by Creator/SonyPicturesTelevision, a division of Creator/{{Sony}}, which also makes the [[Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment PlayStation brand]], and thus, owns the ''Uncharted'' series.
182	* ''VideoGame/WhisperedWorld'': ''VideoGame/ChaosOnDeponia'': Returning through the teleporter in the second game's final act causes Rufus to briefly enter the ''Whispered World''.
