Title: Games in the movies/TV
Post by: AlienInferno on March 27, 2017, 03:21:15 pm
Didn't see this anywhere so I started one.

What movies/tv shows have you found games in?

I found a computer space in the 1973 movie " Soylent Green".

There is a 1983 horror anthology movie called Nightmares that features a story about a arcade game run amok called The Bishop Of Battle. Stars Emilio Estevez.

Jaws has an arcade and a computer space can be seen. I think somewhere there was even a mention that the one John owns is that same one, but i never heard the actual story.

1983 Joysticks with Joe Don Baker is a rare one.

Ghostbusters II they control the statue of liberty with a NES Advantage stick.

You have Cloak & Dagger where the guy gets murdered over an Atari game.

Asteroids in the John Carpenter film The Thing.

John Conner plays after burner in Terminator 2 Judgement Day.

Fred Savage is playing Hardball in Princess Bride, not to mention The Wizard.

Marty McFly with Wild Gunman in Back to the Future Part II "You mean you gotta use your hands?" "It's a baby's toy."
