Nightmare on Elmstreet 6 (or Freddy's Dead - The Final Nightmare)

 

This is obviously fake (for the most part) but was a great scene. We hear Freddy exclaim phrases such as:

 

"Great graphics!"

"You forgot the Power Glove!"

"Well waddaya know? I beat my high score!"

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.

That is Slither, which is a Roller Controller game, which you can see her using with her right hand. So definitely a real game, and the image on the screen matches. The sound probably was taken from Video Pinball or something else, which isn't very surprising.

I looked for a better shot, but couldn't find one anywhere.

I haven't seen the show in ages, but know there were at least 4 arcade games in his mansion.

I was so freakin' jealous.

 

I am catching up though, with two arcade games of my own.

No train to get around the house yet though.

In the short movie All Summer in a Day, sounds that supposedly had something to do with establishing a video phone call actually came from Atari 2600 Pac-Man.  Sounds from that particular port also made their way into Superman III

Back in the '80s through the late '90s, hardly a week went by when I didn't catch the Atari 2600 Pac-Man sounds being used in a movie, TV show, TV commercial or radio ad. Funny, I can't remember one instance right now, but the complete list would be several dozen if anyone could make it.

Also, I seem to remember Kareem Abdul Jabar playing Atari Basketball in Airplane!.
Kareem was on the plane, and I don't remember any games in there. However, Atari 2600 Basketball was being played by a couple of the air traffic controllers on one of the "radar" screens. Edited by A.J. Franzman
