* ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'' used a lot of famous music that people are likely to recognize as being from the 40's and 50's -- the game itself takes place in 1960. A lot of the songs ''were'' hits, like ''Papa Loves Mambo'' and ''La Mer'', but it's also possible that it's an aversion inasmuch as few people are likely to have heard many (or any) of these songs.
* The ''[[Fallout]]'' series is set in an alternate universe post-apocalyptic 1950s with many references to 50s culture, including a collection of period appropriate songs, most prominently featured in ''Fallout 3'' where the player can tune into Three Dog's radio show for some easy listening while wandering the Capital Wasteland.
* Back during the [[Follow the Leader|"Introspective Vietnam FPS"]] craze, many companies invoked this trope. Seeing as how a great deal of developers probably weren't born until the tail end of the war, it should be easy to see why they wouldn't think of adding in stuff that wasn't easily available on a Greatest Hits compilation.
