THIS is what arcades used to be like?!!?!

[Jefferson]

I was born too late! Now I know why you geezers love the classics!

[Ginsu Victim]

Joe Don Baker! Hell yeah!

I remember that movie, but forgot he was in it.

[CheffoJeffo]

Man ... I just watched joysticks again last week.

Long Live King Vidiot!

And I still want to build the giant duel sticks (had a line on the exact same sticks, but it fell through).

[javeryh]

Jeez.  Compared to today, hot chicks in the 80s were fat.

[XtraSmiley]

Dude, that is EXACTLY what arcades were like.  Yes, you did miss out.

[Thenasty]

none of my local libraries have this movie. 

[creatine28]

Netflix has it!


I remember going to the theater to see that movie! Crazy!   hahaha   

Its been a while since I've seen it,  didn't they have a big contest at the end of the movie where they were playing Pacman with some giant joysticks?   Kind of like the one from the jokers wild game show.

That made me cringe. 

[urbecrisch]

OMFG!  That is so aweful I must rent it!   Netflix doesn't have it

[spauldingd]

Ooo, downloadable link! Thanks!

[Havok]

Ooo, downloadable link! Thanks!

You've got to be quick - the overlord has already removed it. Good thing I already have the DVD...
 

[Ginsu Victim]

Nabbed it before the hammer dropped on it, which I knew it would.

Strange,  it shows up on Netflix for me.  I was able to add it to my queue.

Are you guys mixing up discs vs streaming, though?

[Malenko]

I watched, skipped some of the lamer scenes, it wasn't THAT horrible for the era it came out in. 80s boobs.....yeah, they are different. I was surprised at how many fairly well known actors were in that movie. Joe Don Baker,  Jon Gries, Corinne Bohrer, John Diehl (MIAMI VICE!)

I will admit, I kept going back and forth after I watched it to look at the arcade cabinets; and I can also admit, I got a little pissed at the one "sex scene" you dont put candles on cabinets! But I did crack up when the fat guy opened the Ms.Pacman and looked at the monitor sticker to see if the game could handle a 7 figure score.

Mine just shows up as being able to receive a dvd,  no streaming seem to be available.

What is the game at 0.55?
What movie do we need to watch (via TPB or Netflix)? Is "joysticks" the title?

[Thenasty]

suprisingly, its in torrent. I actually watch it twice after dling it. What a sucky movie but the "ARCADES" is what made me watch again.

I was wondering about that game too. Some king of a Pacman/Lady bug clone.

Yea "Joysticks" is the title. Do torrent search.

I used

[Blanka]

Cool. A 2.6 on IMDB. That must be a good movie

I grew up in the 70s and 80s and can say that I miss natural torpedo boobs, all these fake round boobs today suck.

FIRST POST!  LOL

[Thenasty]

I guess no one knows the exact name of that game @56s.

I search and look at screen shot of the game from the movie. I get "Americana".

Here is the screen shot for anyone to see.

[Blanka]

Totally sucky story line, but hey, the setting is great. Nice clothing, nice interior, nice hair-style
I wonder where they got that mame-machine with 2 DLP beamers back in 1983? 

[Blanka]

Here is the screen shot for anyone to see.

I like the screenshot just behind that one at 18:10:

So lovely to see woman enjoy a game

Guess someone is going to make a comment about the frame just after this one

"Americana (strip machine, credits says Computer Kinetics Corp. designed it; emulated in MAME as Streaking by Shoei)" according to a link from a google search of "americana video game arcade"

when I saw that game, the first first came to mind was Amidar. I should have check the driver what games it had.

Well, I can sleep now 

[surface tension]

2.6? I have GOT to watch this. On my own.
