Title: Top Video Game Movies
Post by: Jack Burton on March 01, 2014, 06:59:25 pm
Hi all,

We've been talking video game movies in the chat. Curious what your top video game movies are.

Some of my favs are:

The Wizard
King of Kong: Fist Full of Quarters
Once Upon Atari
Chasing Ghosts
Tilt: The Battle to Save Pinball

Honorable mention:

Big Trouble in Little China (because Raiden was based off one Lo Pan's three servants)

I am partial to Joysticks (1983) and features Joe Don Baker as the bad guy.

I really like "Tilt: The Battle to Save Pinball".

This would be a good topic for a video. :)
