Queen and their influence on the gaming industry
Many of you have probably heard of the game "Ogre Battle". But how many of you have heard the song by the same title?
Those familiar with that game probably also know Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. Let Us Cling Together happens to be an alternative title of the song "Teo Torriate", written by none other than Brian May.
I am sure that many of you have played Fallout 2. Most of those who played it have also killed the albino molerat Keeng Ra'at, who is an obvious reference to Great King Rat, third track on Queen's debut album.
Coincidence?

One might argue that some other bands had games about them, like Iron Maiden and the game Ed Hunter, or KISS and KISS Pinball (they also had a 3D shooter, but I forgot the title). This wouldn't put those bands ahead of Queen though, thanks to the game known as Queen: The Eye.

Not sure if this is ontopic, but recently one of the games I play the most is Queen Hangman
EDIT: Here's a little addition:
In Guilty Gear X, a 2D fighting game, the profile of the character Sol Badguy mentions him as a fan of Queen. His last name might also be a reference to Freddie Mercury's solo album "Mr Bad Guy".

Having read a bunch of wikipedia articles on Guilty Gear characters, I have seen that the whole series is heavily influenced by music, with numerous references to Queen, which are the most prominent in the character of Sol Badguy.
EDIT: While browsing Wikipedia, I have also found that the subtitle of Ogre Battle was "March Of The Black Queen", which happens to be the title of a song from Queen II, the album which also featured "Ogre Battle".
