The original final fantasy was just a dnd campaign the developers had been playing for example, even including things like beholders and mindflayers. But generally it is indirect, with references being based on the games like wizardry rather than the material wizardry itself is based on.
CoC is certainly king now. Chaosium has tried at times to use their CoC influence to push their older setting and systems regarding Glorantha, with Runequest and Heroquest and such but never had much impact. Though it still sneaks in somewhere, for example Queelag in Dark Souls is based on a famous Glorantha Demigod the Fire Witch Cragspider.
