My program for the game Fanorona (Java applet and Macintosh standalone, available at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/180a/projects/fanorona/) uses bitboards. Probably you will find a lot of programs for non-chess games that do, since bitboards really shine when there are fewer types of pieces to represent. Bit-parallel integer operations have started to be used more seriously in other areas as well, for instance there are quite a few papers on fast graph shortest path computations in this model, and I'm pretty sure several of the candidates for NIST's ongoing Advanced Encryption Standard competition (http://aes.nist.gov/) were designed with the idea of using bit-parallelism for efficient implementations. I can look up more references for you on this if you need them.
