Author Topic: FT: Joysticks DVD - 80s Video Game Movie (Read 2596 times)

A few months ago, we were talking about that 80s movie Joysticks, which is basically one of those bad 80s sophomoric sex comedies. However, this one takes place in an arcade and has some pretty nice shots of cabinets and games in action. Also, boobies.

Although it's no Porky's, I will admit to throwing it on as background filler more than a number of times while working on stuff. I have this copy on DVD:

If anyone here is interested in trading something for it, let me know. I'm not looking for much for it, I'd just like to get it in someone's hands who's curious about it or maybe even has fond memories of it. Let me know what you want to swap for it. PM me or post it here.

Remember, boobies.

Nice! Want a case of Hamm's for it?

yotsuya · « **Reply #2 on:** August 21, 2012, 08:47:31 pm »

I'd need at least two cases.... If you haven't seen his yet, you'd probably need a case yourself to watch it!

It's a fun bit of 80s arcade nostalgia, though. Again, make me an offer!

Did I mention the boobies?

Bump for boobies!

Vigo · « **Reply #4 on:** September 25, 2015, 07:07:52 pm »

I just realized after 3 years that I could sure go for some arcade boobies.

U want trade?

Whaaa? Naw....there is no way that that any item on this board would be gone without explicitly saying sold. 3 years is nothing to wait for a response.

Thanks for the tip, I have some strange PCB labeled "Marble Man", whatever the heck that is. I was gonna trade it to yot for the dvd, but you saved me the effort. Well, time to fire up utorrent.

Funny thing about that DVD... I had a trade arranged with a former esteemed member for, ironically enough, some joysticks, so I sent it and he responded, "Hey, bro, sorry but I got a good deal and so I sold those off. What else do you want?" I really wanted the joysticks, but since they weren't available anymore, I asked him what else he had. He offered me some magic beans, but I declined. So mofo sent me back the DVD, and I gave it to Neph.

Well - since you no longer have the DVD and now you're thinking about how much you miss those Boobies - there is a torrent that's being seeded you might be interested in

Actually, I had an extra because I bought the super deluxe widescreen edition. So I still own the movie....

Vigo · « **Reply #13 on:** September 26, 2015, 12:46:26 am »

You know you can change your arcade cabinets into super deluxe widescreen editions as well.

No bite? I was really expecting a

for that one.

Jeri Ellsworth did one a while back that you could swipe some ideas from.

Three minutes in, and I can already tell this is a GREAT movie.

The guys at StarFighters just told me that if I decided to build the Joystick Arena for ZapCon, that they'd support me with it. Hmmmm..
