An interesting premise and an interesting correlation. I'm lead to believe that it is purely conincidental though.
You can make other metaphsyical claims using different games. If you believe that man is a god, you could also claim that games like SimCity get in touch with our unconscious and forgotten godly like selves.
All video games have some sort of interative element, whether you be Duke Nukem, the Arkanoid bar, or a god in SimCity. This construct was a fundamental requirement for a video game to exist and therefore must have preceeded the idea that video games were created to give us clues about our forgotten selves.
Unless you believe the Pong bar is a philosophical reference to ones own exsistance.
