Until [[Trey Songz]]'s song "[[I Invented Sex]]" from 2009 to 2010, "Games" was the most recent song to peak at number-one on the U.S. ''Billboard'' R&B chart while failing to reach the Top 40 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.

In 1995, [[The Luniz]] interpolated the song on the track "Playa Hater" from the album ''[[Operation Stackola]]''. It was also interpolated the 1993 [[Tevin Campbell]] hit "[[Can We Talk]]".

In 1996, [[Mark Morrison]] sampled Booker's "Games" in his 1996 hit song, "[[Return of the Mack]]".

According to Chuckii Booker’s Instagram on September 8, 2018 the female on the song saying “Chuckii! Chuckii!” is [[Janet Jackson]].

Most recently in 2022, R&B group Sentury interpolated the song on the track "Say That."
