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 's toy."

Greetings all, been lurking a while but wanted to say hello. Im lucky to live in a town with a few good arcades. I do most of my playing at Game Galaxy in Smyrna TN and on occasion will roll up to Murfreesboro to Flashback Arcade.

I already keep in touch with a few people who are on here via facebook.

I own a machine and plan to grab a few more once i get settled into a house. Galaga and Q Bert are at the top of my list as far as common stuff goes.

Space Dungeon and a Bandido/Sheriff are probably my white whales.
