uosipa llamxew Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I remembered that Terminator II has a scene in an arcade. I thought that John Connor was playing Outrun, but I did a quick search to check on it. Instead, I found this link which might be of some interest.

Missile Command was an obvious choice, of course. James Cameron has a nuke fetish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Wow, yet another cool page on this topic! :-) I know that I have seen a movie with Outrun in it. Now that I'm thinking about it, it may have been a documentary... Did Bowling For Columbine show Outrun (car wrecking and people flying out of the car) along with Doom and possibly others as examples of what violence could be found in video games? It's been a long time... If I remember correctly, Michael Moore also interviewed some scary guy in a bar that had a couple of arcade games in it. I'm not sure that counts here though.

Now that I'm thinking about it, it may have been a documentary... . I cant count documentorys, as i would have to count 100000000's of news reports and games shows. [/size]Hands up who wants a credit in my site assuming you have been taking part in this chat. Haydn ps. i have been doing a lot of updating, which i will upload later.

In a later scene of the movie, Robert's daughter is playing Tetris on the Gameboy as she sits in his lap. Of course, Crumb is more than just a documentary. I've viewed it more times than any movie other than The Wall or Pulp Fiction. It is your list though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s0c7 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Don't forget the movie Joysticks. Unfortunately the young lady below is not seen after the opening credits. Many games in the background through the course of the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinovelvet Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Last night's ALIAS, Marshall was seen playing a game offscreen...Sloane comes in and interrupts him, with a "what are you doing?" glare, Marshall then holds up a 2600 joystick and Asteroids cartridge and says "You can't beat the classics!"

Sorry it's kind of hard to see, but it's clearly an Asteroids cart. Edited April 16, 2005 by Mental Vortex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 In Pirates of Silicon Valley, Steve Wozniak (or the actor playing Woz) is playing Atari while in the hospital...I think it was Air-Sea Battle but I don't remember, I haven't seen it in years.

Cap5750 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Is that an actual game or made up graphics? Haydn 838897[/snapback] Haydn, Dunno. It looks real. They actually show some gameplay happening during the scene. Now I doubt if it's a 2600 game, but could definately be a real game.

Cap5750 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Here's Firestarter. Can't tell what game it is, but I doubt this one is real. In the background you hear a sound (sort of like the bonus countdown sound on Video Pinball), but we never see her use that joystick at all.

Haydn Jones Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Thanks, Keep them coming, and i'll add them all the the galery. It will take me a little while, due to a back log and the links needed for decent descriptions, so bear with me.. i havent forgotten.

Cap5750 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Haydn, No problems. I'm not looking for fame or fortune here. It's kind of fun. Skimming thru these at 32x speed trying to spot Video Game related stuff. That is with the exception of Knight Rider which I remembered was one of the first three episodes of the series and occured right at the beginning. And now...on with the show...here's Gremlins. I nearly missed the 2nd one! Anyone know which game that is? I thought it sort of looked like Swordquest, but I couldn't tell for sure.
