- Hero Games has a role playing game character designer that uses XML as the native format.
- Ari Nordström manages multiplex cinemas with XML.
- The Flight Gear uses XML to describe aircraft and control systems.
- Len Bullard and his son wrote a level editor for Quake that dumps XML.
- Dave Megginson turned navigating an XML document into Adventure.
- In the online game Dark Age of Camelot, you can call up the status of your character as an XML feed.
- Bill Conrad’s taken the Lifestreams concept to heart and has XMLized his home.
