Does anybody know any music videos that are inspired by computer games or look like computer games? I can't think of any...

Also: no specific games, but anything that looks pixellated on purpose?

Little Computer People - Little Computer People

I haven't seen this, but surely it would have to be inspired by the specific computer game "Little Computer People"?

There's that recent Beck video ("E-Pro"? Can't recall the title now) that sort of looks like some old vector graphics-y video game, but I don't know if it's inspired by a specific game.

Janet Jackson did a video dueting with some R&B act a few years back (may have been Dru Hill) where they were inside a pinball machine.

Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" video had crap 80s computerised people in it.

I almost, almost, made a video for the ever-wonderful Plone remix of testtone by sweet exorcist that was based around the bonus rounds from Sonic 3. I don't think I had the resources too though.
