This page lists [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]s seen in video games.
 
Games with their own pages:
Line 344 ⟶ 343:
** In the English version only, at the end of the game, Princess Peach says, "Thank you. But our Princess is in another castle!...Just kidding! Ha ha ha! Bye bye." This refers to "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros]]''.
* In the [[Game Mod|custom map "Defense of the Ancients"]] for ''[[War Craft]] III'', there's a custom character made for it named Lina Inverse, the Slayer. Her spells and background are based on the character of the same name in the [[Light Novels/Anime|Anime]] series [[Slayers]].
* [[Vega Strike]] has its [[Don't Fear the Reaper|lightsome]] "''Space [[Robert A. Heinlein|Is A Harsh Mistress]]''" gameover [http://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vegastrike/trunk/masters/sprites/died.png?view=log screen] <sup><ref>if something wrong, it's due to JPEG misnamed PNG</ref></sup>. Rlaan bio-fuel is named "Chitty-chitty-boom-boom", there's "Tritanium armor" and Industrial Gems include "Dilithium telluride" ("a desired item among the religious fanatics of the trekkie religion"). There's also a mention of {{[[Catch-22 |Snowden}}]] (in the description of heavy flak).
* In ''Civilization IV'', the loading screen music is the opening music from ''Colonization'', another game by Sid Meier.
* ''[[Wild Arms 5 (Video Game)|Wild Arms 5]]'' consists of many shout outs to the previous [[Wild Arms]] games including NPC cameos of the previous heroes, alternative costumes for the party members that resemble outfits of the previous heroes (one of them being the most powerful armor in the game for Dean), and the occasional quote from those NPC cameos that reference to their adventures in the previous games (like the Virginia cameo making a reference to meeting Maya Schrodinger, her constant rival in [[Wild Arms 3 (Video Game)|Wild Arms 3]], when you give her a Golden Angel).
