Godzilla Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) nah, its just a bad t&a porkies-esque c level movie that happens to have some arcade games in it (only reason to watch it at all, imho.)(own original on video,) iirc one of the characters is named boner if that tells you anything.

godzillajoe Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 In Videodrome (I just watched it the other night for the first time in ages) there are some 2600 joysticks and boxes for Combat and Air-Sea Battle on top of the TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 The movie Vice Versa (another Freaky Friday clone, that one having Fred Savage and Judge Rheinhold) had Judge playing 2600 Space Invaders at a TV display in some building.

Sayton Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Well it's not a movie, but I was watching an old tape that had lots of cartoons recorded on it from the 80's. On one of the commercials (I can't remember what it was) this child was doing something. Under his TV was an Atari 2600. Think it was a 4-switcher. I think it had something to do with children and books but I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLover! Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I think Mike TeeVee was playing an Atari 2600 in Charlie and the Chocalate Factory, but clearly not a 2600 game! If you mean the 1971 version, it coule not be possible since the atari 2600 was released in 1977. But if you mean the 2005-06 version, it could be possible.

I looked at the 2005-6 version (I have the dvd), and it was a 2600, a vader (no wood color; all black). The joystick was wrong too (unless it wasn't the original).

The 1971 movie you're thinking of was entitled Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory -- so it's pretty clear what RickHarrisMaine was referring to, even without knowing the exact year it was made.
