VERY obscure video game reference in music

This one's for the big Capcom fans:

Note the name of the album as well as the group name. I bet they thought no one would notice...^_^

i'm pretty sure the last gomez album samples "altered beast" on the "rough stuff" track. now thats really obscure

Yeah, that'a a pretty blatant ripoff. Some other game references I've noticed are the band the Ataris, there's a song by Del the FUnky Homosapien called "Protoculture" that's all about gaming (mostly Saturn though) and there's a song by Swedish punk band Randy called "Welfare Problems" that says something like "play my ps2, my gamecube too."

I took a listen to it and found it to be quite good.

Love the name.

Right after playing a round of Rival Schools, my friend and I went to Best Buy and saw that CD and sorta wigged out. He purchased it, I never got to listen to it since he proceeded to destroy it in very bad ways. I don't think he liked the disc.

I doubt many people here listen to N Sync, but a song "The Game is Over" from their last CD samples a bunch of old arcade tracks. It's produced by BT, who samples videogame sounds quite a bit.
