It's time to nominate the best video game cameo in a movie!
APFelon:
Hm...
"Twilight Zone: The Movie". In the beginning of one of the segments, a kid is playing Tempest. Near the end of the segment, he unleashes "Tempest" upon his "family".
"Parenthood" with Steve Martin shows a kid (his son) playing Bad Dudes. Steve Martin even maks a comment on the name of the game when his son loses.
"Saved by the Bell" television show features a cafe/teen hangout spot with several games lined up against the wall. Can't recall what they are, though.
I have heard that the movie "Godzilla 2000" shows a computer showing the MAME readme file.
Confirmed. Here is a link:

Speaking of Atari 2600... In most movies/TV shows/ commercals, no matter what an actor is playing, it either sounds like 2600 Donkey Kong or Pac Man. It's like video game sound technology hasn't progressed in 20 years.

When you hear the Pac-Man or Donkey Kong sounds, you automagicly think of arcade games. Thus they uses these internationally known sounds when games are played.
Ok... how about Police Academy
When Larvell is in his room making the game sounds while acting like he's playing. Priceless comedy.
Lilwolf:
Grosse Point Blank - in convience store...
DOOM - the arcade... that never existed!

What about Larry the Looter? Bart says something about "Time to stick it to the man!" ?
And when Bart shoplifted for Bonestorm? "If you don't buy this game, you better be dead!"

DaveMMR:
If you ever played the PC game Virtual Springfield, you were able to play "Larry the Looter", the boxing game and some other one (I forgot). The only problem with Larry the Looter was that it always ended the same way it ends in the show - Larry gets his head blown off.
The one where Bart shoplifts Bonestorm (tagline: "Buy Me Bonestorm or Go To Hell") showed Sonic, Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong all trying to get him to take it. Funny stuff.
