* Wood Man from ''[[Mega Man 2]]'' is a Robot Master made entirely out of wood.
* The mechanisms built by Sirrus and Achenar on their respective prison ages in ''[[Myst]] IV: Revelation'' are surprisingly sophisticated for technology built only from raw materials without any available tools. Achenar's stuff is at least crudely made from available materials, but Sirrus built a big laboratory and steampunk machinery from scratch.
* One of Rumble's skins in ''[[League of Legends]]'', [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|Rumble in the Jungle]], subs his [[Mini-Mecha|Mini Mecha's]] scrap metal components for bamboo and coconuts.
* In the Worlds of Ultima game "The Savage Empire", most tribes in the valley have Stone Age tech - the natives most advanced (contemporary) weapon is an 'obsidian-edged sword' similar to a macuahuitl. One of your party members, Professor Rafkin, can build crude rifles and grenades out of bamboo, clay, and stray bits of hardware for you. For the most part, they outperform native weapons handily, although only 'modern' characters can figure out how to use them.
* The airships in some of the earlier [[Final Fantasy]] games may seem like this at first. They're [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080313061321/finalfantasy/images/9/99/FF-Airship.jpg normal wooden boats that fly thanks to some attached propellers.]{{Dead link}} The concept on its own isn't that bad, but seeing how there's no other form of automated transport in these fantasy worlds, how the propellers work is questionable. Turns out the ships [[Magitek|run on magic]].
