dtgreene: Well, there's fruit in Tyrian. (That game actually makes fun of the whole "enemies drop fruit" thing that you sometimes see in games.)
I am so glad that you mentioned Tryrian because I absolutely love that game. Nothing beats the feeling of flying around the galaxy in the dreaded SUPER CARROT firing off bolts of hot-dogs, oranges, and bananas! And just for fun, here is a fruit related transmission that appears in-game from the enemy spacecraft:
INCOMING MESSAGE FROM ZINGLON :
A glorious message from our god led us to this final path. While some
doubt us, but we realized to fulfill Zinglon's wishes we must control
the food supply to all. Then twist it to his will.
His ire is absolute, and his hatred for you brims over and
envelops your future.
Soon you shall behold the fruit of our glorious and divine leader.
