@BigGnome Frogger came up earlier. I'm still split on it. It's a major part of that episode and is mentioned by name, but as a requirement I want footage of the game itself to be shown on screen. I kinda feel that if I open it up to any mention of a video game that it kinda changes what the spirit of the list is, but at the same time it's such a big part of that episode.
Are you counting WoW in South Park? They must have used like a modded version of the game and/or just exported assets and re-used them in their own engine. It's a pretty close approximation, though.
@cowboyjosh As you said, they are using a modified version in order to make what's happening on the screen fit with the narrative of the episode, though they are still presenting it as WoW and I feel like it looks authentic enough that it counts, though it is a little bit of a stretch.
The key thing for me is that the game is shown graphically. If it's just mentioned then that opens the door to a lot more submissions and kinda muddies things by making the scope a bit too broad.

@Colamerda Got them both added. Thank you so much!
Mortal Kombat II was shown in The Last of Us TV series (episode 7).
@Corrugated_Fox I think this is the first entry where a game has appeared in media that itself is directly inspired by a game. Added it!
House of Cards had a number of these - off the top of my head I remember Killzone 3, God of War Ascension and Monument Vallley
@tangysphere Thank you so much! Added all three.

I can't confirm this one myself, but I've heard Manifest also has Killer Instinct.
This is a clip of Suite Life on Deck that (kind of) has Cave Story and some other games I can't identifty. Not sure if you'll count them, but still insane to see:

@electrode Got those added! I think Cave Story counts, it's pretty identifiable even if it's just two repeating frames. The other games look vaguely familiar but I can't quite pin them down. I think one is Frogger but idk, it could be some top down racing game.

Seinfeld has that whole episode where George wants to save the Frogger arcade cab which he has the high score on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3urawMnPFA
I don’t want to constantly spam this post, but I just saw Fast X and it had Hotwheels Unleashed in it
