musicians starring in video games

created by allanon

Comic superheroes, movies and sports events are all being turned into computer games. Now and then even famous music artists find their way into the world of the pixel and fast-scrolling screens. As technology has advanced since the 80's, the background music quality has improved - from mod files with simple five-second loops from one the artist's more famous songs, to full-blown MP3s and CD-audio in the latest releases.

This is an attempt to list all computer games starring known musicians. Games only featuring music by famous artists, like Nine Inch Nails in Quake, are of course not included.

Now, we'd all love to see Björk kick some alien butt, wouldn't we? :)

Thanks to Jpers36, ClockworkGrue, kdribbs and jarsyl for sending game titles and additional info.
Feel free to msg me if you can contribute :)
