* The character of [[Andrew Ryan (BioShock)|Andrew Ryan]] in the 2007 video game ''[[BioShock]]'' is loosely based on Hughes. Ryan is a billionaire industrialist in post-World War II America who, seeking to avoid governments, religions, and other "parasitic" influences, ordered the secret construction of an underwater city, [[Rapture (BioShock)|Rapture]]. Years later, when Ryan's vision for Rapture falls into dystopia, he hides himself away and uses armies of mutated humans, "Splicers", to defend himself and fight against those trying to take over his city, including the player-character.<ref>{{cite web|title=Exclusive: Ken Levine on the making of Bioshock|url=http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2007/08/20/exclusive-ken-levine-on-the-making-of-bioshock/|website=[[Rock Paper Shotgun]]|date=August 20, 2007 |access-date=March 20, 2013|last1=Gillen |first1=Kieron }}</ref>
