Line 196:
* ''[[Marvel Ultimate Alliance]]'' lets you have a party consisting of [[Doctor Strange]], the half-vampire [[Blade]], [[Iron Man]], and one of the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] fight [[Doctor Doom]], Galactus, and Loki.
* ''[[The Sims|The Sims 2]]'', quite notoriously for a simulation game (albeit one that doesn't take itself very seriously), does feature this trope! Your Sims can plead with [[The Grim Reaper]] for the life of another household member, get abducted by aliens (and get a [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong]], [[Mister Seahorse|if they're male]]), get bitten by a wolf and become a werewolf, become a vampire, come back as a zombie, get eaten by a [[Man-Eating Plant]], become a plant-like being themselves, live with Bigfoot... the list goes on.
* ''[[Nethack]]'' is probably the biggest offender, because the monsters and items are all pieced together from bunches and bunches of completely unrelated books. It can include grid bugs from ''[[Tron]]'' and goblins from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' on the same level, for example. (It also has actual kitchen sinks.)
** "One-horned, one-eyed people eaters", "[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|microscopic space fleets]]", "battlemechs", "[[Discworld|The Luggage]]", "master lichens"(!) and various other weird critters shown instead of the real monsters when hallucinating.
** The Slash'EM variant throws in even more stuff, the best example probably being ''[[Star Wars|lightsabers]]''.
