* The anime ''[[Beet the Vandel Buster]]'' (started in 2002) which features experience levels printed on the characters' chest and [[Money Spider|money for killing monsters]].

== [[Literature]] ==

* The lyrics to the ''Morlocks'' song "Hardcore" contains the line "What's bad for you is good for me, I've got less than five in Humanity", a reference to ''Vampire: The Masquerade''.

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* ''[[Code Monkeys]]'' has life bars and things like that, though they don't mean anything.
