Cannons in Super Mario 64
Chargers that give players extra speed boosts exists in both the Mario Kart series and F-Zero GX. Pit stops in Formula D show that Board Games dealing with racing also can have Location-Fixed Abilities.
Several First-Person Shooters include stationary weapons. The 40mm Bofors Anti-Aircraft Gun and FIM-92 Stinger are examples from the Battlefield series that provide Location-Fixed Abilities while the Left 4 Dead series has mounted mini-guns and heavy machine guns that the players can find.
Computer-based Roleplaying Games often have Location-Fixed Abilities in the form of immobile non-player characters. Torchlight, the Dragon Age series, and the Fable series are examples of this, and to a lesser extent this is also true for NetHack and the Fallout series since the NPCs providing services there do move about somewhat. The Legend of Zelda series and Assassin's Creed series are examples of other computer-based games also having stationary NPCs providing services to the players.
