* ''[[Bully (
* ''[[Destroy All Humans!]]'' had four stages to its meter. The last stage drew the MIB,
* ''[[Postal (
* ''[[Mafia]]'' had a 3-stage wanted meter. For traffic violations, the cops would try to ticket you. For major crimes (fleeing from the police, general mayhem) the cops would try to arrest you. For assault/murder (killing civilians, killing cops, firing a gun) the cops would try to shoot you to death. It also worked so that only the cop seeing you commit the crime would follow you, if either a beat cop or in a car. If you commited a crime in a car and exited it (or the opposite) without the cop seeing you, the police would get confused and you and you could escape. For major crimes like arrested or firing, they would often try to get to a gamewell that made the whole force go after you (otherwise it was just nearby policemen), which would down as you laid low.

If the meter got full, a strike team would be called in, which eventually came to mean that you would be assaulted by a pair of 30-foot mechs along with some smaller, hulk-sized mechs. If the strike team was defeated, the meter went back to 0.
** Near the end of the game, "0" means that you're ''only'' being chased by Hulk-sized robots and missile-firing helicopters.

* The ''[[Hitman]]'' series features a suspicion meter, which goes up the more the player's behavior is out of character for his current disguise. At higher levels, even slightly unusual acts will attract attention, and when the meter is at maximum guards will automatically shoot at the player on sight.
