I didn't realize there were so many of these, since my mind is coming up blank. This will be a fun thread to watch.

There are a few original games in GTA San Andreas. (Sorry I couldn't find pics.)

One of them is a shmup and you play as a monkey in space.

I did think of that, but those are really just mini games. You're still controlling Frum y'know?

Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3 in Doom 3.

Isn't there a pinball game you can play in DNF which is not the same as the Balls of Fire Duke table?

No mention of Nanashi No Game? Also, does the dream sequence in MGS3 counts?

Boxcelios 1 and 2 in Yakuza 3 and 4 are pretty cool in-game shmups available in the game centers. Answer X Answer is a fun arcade quiz game in Yakuza 4 (Not sure if it's in the American version).
