The Wizard (1989)I was gonna say 'that was nintendo' but they did have the VS versions of the games.
MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE
Terminator 2! ;D
and uhm, a lot, I vividly remember missile command though.
Anyone notice how in Bloodsport, the two guys are shown as playing two player simultaneously on a regular Karate Champ machine? You could only do that on Karate Champ VS.
Just finished watching "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" made in 1983
That still doesn't explain why they used a console sound effect. Beyond just being lazy of course.
... speaking of The Bad News Bears, Vic Morrow (who plays the rival coach) gets mangled and killed during filming the final scene of the first segment in that Twilight Zone Movie. I've never seen it myself, but I always wondered if you could tell or not in the film.
The game may be crappy, but it has one of the coolest cabs ever made.

That cab disturbs me: looks like some kinda condom with teeth...
A videogaming boy, seemingly doomed to stay at his trailer park home all his life, finds himself recruited as a gunner for an alien defense force.

You must be misinformed.
Of course Rusty references some great games in Vacation.
Rusty Griswold: Hey, ya' got Pac Man?
Cousin Dale: No.
Rusty Griswold: Ya' got Space Invaders?
Cousin Dale: Nope.
Rusty Griswold: Ya' got Asteroids?
Cousin Dale: Naw, but my dad does. Can't even sit on the toilet some days.
I believe that's the fake DOOM.
Go rent Midnight Madness

Was that the one with the scavenger hunt/kids running all over town?
Another shot of Galactic Border Patrol from Strange Brew...
What games did they have in Silver Spoons ? Screenshot ever shown ?

I was watching a Silver Spoons marathon on Nick-at-Night, last night. Rick Stratton (Ricky Stroeder) and his dad have
-Tempest
-Gorf
-Asteroids (fake "Swamp Wars" marquee, and other cosmetic mods)
-Pac Man mini (some fake marquee)
-an electro-mechanical pinball game (not sure which one)
The Tempest and Gorf probably had fake marquees, also..
It was funny because I have these same games in my apt, minus the EM
pinball.

I may have to build this, now. I just may. Can anyone ID what that cab really is?
Lost boys.
Dunno if you actually see the game or cabinet, but Moon Cresta is singing in the background in one of the early scenes. I think.
In the commic book store. I think.
Haven't seen it for years.... Somebody with the DVD confirm?
Also showed that the mexican chick from Gilmour Girls can't act her way out of a paper sack.
The Mexican girl is America Ferrara, the one on Ugly Betty. The one from Gilmore Girls is Alexis Bledel, the girl who went to Greece in the movie. (She was also in Sin City)
My wife and I are both fans of Gilmore Girls, so that's why we watched it in the first place. (Own all seven seasons on DVD)
Go rent Midnight Madness (Michael J. Fox first movie) from Netflix. Three reasons:
1. The arcade in the movie is an AWESOME snapshot of the late 70's. Death Race, Space Invaders, etc.
2. The movie itself is decent--again, it's a time capsule.
3. The chick who played Candy in the movie was STUNNING.
