This Playstation 2 game has a cute reference to a classic Beastie Boys track. Apparently inside the sushi-bar is a monkey character who sings "brass monkey that funky monkey".

In this Playstation game, you can create secret monsters by putting in various music CDs. Two of those CDs are "Licensed To Ill" and "Hello Nasty".

This older game released for the Super Nintendo had a tenth level boss by the name of "Tadrock" - hmmmm sounds familiar.

Unfortunately this classic arcade game from 1984 does not feature the Beastie Boys despite the name.
