Board Games that let players place "workers" to take actions, e.g. Agricola, Dominant Species and Lords of Waterdeep, only provide players with a limited number of actions they can do every round. However, since players get these workers back at the end of the round they are a form of Regenerating Resources.

Regenerating health has become more and more common in FPS Games. Just Cause, Spec Ops: The Line, Wolfenstein: New World Order, and the Battlefield, Call of Duty and Halo series to mention a few, have varying mechanisms for this although for some of the game series this has been introduced later. The Halo series also have a similar system for regenerating force shields (and had this before it had health regeneration).

and other Computer Games with similar system include later versions in the Deus Ex and Tomb Raider series.
