This could be the largest stretch post of the thread, but.
The King Of Fighters '95 Female Fighters Stage
Sandy Duncan covering "A Nice Boy (Girl) Like Me" on The Muppet Show.
Or, I could just be seeing something that isn't there at all.

For no reason I was watching a longplay of Fighter's History Dynamite, a game I've wanted to play since I first saw a preview of it in gaming mags way back when but never got around to. To my complete surprise, the Iron Lion of Cangzhou is in the background!
Sorry for the potato quality, I just screenshotted it and then pasted in a pic I took when I visited last year.
More info about the Iron Lion here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Lion_of_Cangzhou
What's surprising is that, tbh, it's not a big tourist attraction - I mean, it's not on the same level of the Great Wall or anything, ya know? I think it's awesome Data East included it here, though.
EDIT: here's another picture:
The characters are in traditional Chinese and say 崩撼突擊, literally 'burst shake quick attack'. Looking into it more it seems related to Bajiquan style of martial art, which itself appears to have origins in Cangzhou, the city where this stage takes place. I am very impressed with the level of detail and knowledge going on here on Data East's behalf, these guys definitely did their homework.

This thread is so awesome! I'm glad to see another one found. Pretty crazy they included that. Gotta love the more obscure references

Bump. Not a Neo game but maybe some of you might like this anyway.
Recently I was playing Street Fighter Alpha 2 and I wondered where Chun Li's stage was. Something about it looked familiar.
The artwork said it's in Beijing. Even though it's only from the mid-90s, there was a possibility the building had already been demolished.
Then I realized that it had to be the halal restaurant Manhengji (满恒记) close to Pinganli subway.
As far as I can tell, I can't find this information on any English web sites. Hope you guys liked it.

Nice find! This is an interesting thread I know there’s more. Here’s one I just came across
Court of the Lions in Granada, Spain. Background in KoF 98 and I believe Fatal Fury 3

Unfortunately, the area was demolished in 2004. It remains immortalized in SSFII, at least.

Built by a Burmese-Chinese tycoon, Tiger Balm Garden offered Hongkongers welcome green space – along with spooky scenes of the underworld

At least Hong Kong still has the JUMBO Floating Restaurant.
