Queen Related Computer Games (and other media)

Hi All

Just for fun, anyone know of any Queen related things in computer games? Or other media such as fictional stories?

Here are a few to get things going:

Chronos: A Tapestry of Time a ZX Spectrum game from1987 contains the lyrics to Tear it Up.

Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen a SNES game from 1993, plus the follow up Ogre Battle: Let us Cling Together.

The obvious ones:

Queen The Eye
Rise of The Robots

Radio Ga Ga is in GTA V

Good shout moog, forgot all about GTAV. Did they have One Vision in one of the earlier GTA's?

It's featured in GTA IV indeed.

Any Resident Evil fans? These words on Chris' and Claire's jackets cannot be coincidental.

I love Resi.

The developers were huge Queen fans, hence MIH and LML.

Commodore 64:
- Highlander by Ocean Software, 1986. Features "A Kind of Magic". Also available on Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC.
- Frantic Freddie by CDS, 1983. Features "Crazy Little Thing Called Love".
- Frantic Freddie II by Oziphantom, 2019. Features "Don't Stop Me Now".

There are some random Queen songs SID'ified for C64 demos also, I've heard at least We Will Rock You, Save Me, Seven Seas of Rhye and Another One Bites the Dust.

If I remember correctly, Queen also gets a passing mention in one of the games based on Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole books. There were two games made for the 8-bits.

There was also had a rock idol/band managing parody game called Rock Star Ate My Hamster, in which "Eddy Quicksilver" is one of the stars you can have in your group.

For more modern stuff, you have the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, probably some karaoke games as well.

Singstar Queen.

C64. An absolute gem. Not a day went by where I never played that when I was younger!

@JacquesDaniels
are you related to the demoscene ?
.
i recall some tracks like "show must go on" and "scandal" from the HVSC. not the worst arrangements.

@princetom
Not particularly, no. I do write a retrogaming blog as a hobby, and articles for an Australian C64-based fanzine called Reset64 whenever I'm called or have time for it, which is probably the closest to a scener credit I can claim of having. My actual dayjob is very much music-based, and I've recently felt like I would like to make some SID music, but I haven't had the time to learn how to go about it, and trackers are a bit weird to operate.

@jacquesDaniels
just DO it ! ... don't long for things... write your own tracker! THAT's the way to do :-) and ...no...just DO it ! attend a certain demoparty...near you. VISIT! :-) gather contacts worth for life. just that. demoscene = unlimited of worthy friends.
.
apart from THAT ... yes ... there were some tracks covered by some underground-wizards (and some who were not). would that kind of stuff ...ähm... share-able ? dunno.

Amstrad was good but the C64 lead the way Rob!

@princetom:
Nah, I'm not a programmer, and never even wanted to be one. Music is my number one thing, but mostly with real instruments. Now, if there was a notation software for the C64 that could save files into .sid format, that would be more up my alley.

Just thought of a reversed thing: every game shown in the Invisible Man promo video is automatically Queen-related xD
