Games that use Handel Gothic

Video games that use the font Handel Gothic, beloved sci-fi font of the late 90s and early 2000s, famously used in Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Halo. Games in this list will typically use the typeface as either part of the UI or as the games logo, exceptions and standout cases will be mentioned in the notes.

Please note that several games, like Dead or Alive 2 or Sega Rally 2 make use of the similar yet distinct Terminator typeface. It is easy to mistake one for the other considering their shared focus on rounded forms and a distinctly curved capital E, but the Terminator typeface is entirely unrelated, being derived from the Earth typeface and designed for the James Cameron film of the same name.

The lower thirds during wrestlers intros used Handel Gothic during WWF Smackdown broadcasts of this era, and therefore appears in the majority of Smackdown games released at the same time.

How did I only just see the Handel Gothic on the mass effect title. I use this font every day.
