* Some of the characters In [[Piers Anthony]]'s ''[[Incarnations of Immortality]]'' series -notably Death and War- are based on The Horsemen.
** The Incarnation of War is accompanied by four horsemen of the Apocalypse: Conquest, Slaughter, Famine, and Pestilence. War also rides a horse called Were.
* Larissa Ione's ''Lords of Deliverance'' series features four siblings as people chosen to be the horsemen. [[Anti

* In ''[[Sam and Max]] Season 2: Ice Station Santa'', the Freelance Police must collect a full set of Horsemen of the Apocalypse action figures in order to perform an exorcism.
* The [[Turn Based Strategy]] ''Warlords'' series and it's [[Spin
* Curiously, the primary adversaries of ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]] 2'' fit into these archetypes. Atris as Pestilence (having fallen to [[The Corruption]]), Sion as War ([[The Brute]] who deals with every problem with his lightsaber), Nihilus as Famine (a hole in the universe that is eternally hungry) and {{spoiler|Kreia}} as Death {{spoiler|(her ultimate goal is to destroy the Force, and through it all life).}}
** Not quite true - {{spoiler|Kreia didn't actually want to kill all life, as much as she sought a way to separate all life from the Force, so that it could survive without being manipulated. It was that specific desire that led her to the Exile, who seemed to be a perfect example of someone who had been cut off from the Force yet survived, in the hopes of learning precisely HOW it had happened.}}

* [[The Binding of Isaac (Video Game)|The Binding of Isaac]] has the Four Horsemen as random boss fights after you beat the game once. Each one has a chance of dropping a piece of [[Meat Boy (Video Game)|Meat Boy]], who will follow you around and deal damage. It's also possible to meet the [[Headless Horseman]].
** Conquest also appears in the expansion pack.
* The appropriately titled ''Apocalypse'' game on the Playstation starred [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]] (Yes, him) as the only man for the job to stop the upcoming apocalypse by defeating the four horsemen. War strangely reminded him a lot of his ex-wife.
* The [[Meaningful Name|Sin's City]] mission tier in ''[[Superhero City]]'' presents the Four Horsemen (Conquest, War, Famine and [[The Smurfette Principle|Death]]) as villains for your hero character to fight. Conquest has the power to instill the desire to rule over all things in humans within his vicinity; War, to instill bloodlust; Famine, to instill hunger to the point of the victims [[Extreme Omnivore|eating anything]] ([[I'm a Humanitarian|including human flesh]]); Death, to drain the life-force from everything in her immediate area.
* The Revelation Pack DLC for [[Motorstorm|MotorStorm: Apocalypse]] adds in four new vehicles themed on War, Pestilence, Famine and Death. They are represented by the Molotov Uradna-66 (a [[Mighty Glacier|racing big rig]]), Jester Arclight (a sprint car converted into a [[Jack of All Stats|buggy]]), Voodoo Acheron (a skeletal [[Cool Bike|custom chopper]]) and Falfer Tombstone (a [[The Big Guy|monster truck hearse]]) respectively.
