I know what you’re trying to say but literally any camera is surveillance. It takes pictures/video of a given area. It provides overwatch in lieu of a human. It just surveils for a specific thing.
That data can be used for other, nefarious, purposes and Americans tend to hate that unless it’s a private company doing it.

Although I still have Journey To Silius’s OST burned into my head, there have been plenty of very influential games, in no particular order -
Super Mario RPG
Chrono Trigger
FFVII
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
Jet Set Radio (and Future)
Grand Theft Auto (Vice City and San Andreas, I only listened to talk radio in 3)
Stepmania
These days, I feel a little calcified but it’s always nice when I turn on a game and see artists I know.
