The red-capped Limp Bizkit frontman has had the privilege of being immortalised in not just one but three video games, all of which happen to be fighting games.

In 2001, the (amazing) wrestling title WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It had a series of unlockable characters, all of which were logical inclusions like ECW legend Rhyno and the criminally underrated Tajiri. Durst, however, was somewhat of a left-field choice, although Limp Bizkit had performed My Way as the main song for WrestleMania X-Seven that year and Rollin’ was being used by The Undertaker as his entrance music. To unlock good old Fred, you have to defeat 15 opponents in the Slobberknocker mode as The Undertaker.

The singer was also featured in another WWF game a year later, showing up as a character in WWF Raw for the original Xbox. You could play as him here by winning all available championship belts.

Durst also featured in the video game adaptation of the movie Fight Club. The game seeked to emulate classic fighting games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, in spite of the point of the source material. It was received quite poorly. Nonetheless, it included the rock-rap star as an unlockable character, awarded for completing the story mode.
