If you watch tron, there is a scene in Flynn's arcade where you can see a guy playing Atari Football.  If you've ever played Atari Football, you would know that the guy in Tron is not going to do very well.  Atari Football was actually quite a work out.

Heck yeah, hammering that trackball as hard as you could with that fast slapping motion  (huhuh, slapping motion.... ) and getting your skin caught in that damn little gap.... OUCH!

Clerks the animated show had a game called pharoah.
The point of the game was to put blocks in place for building a pyramid.  If you didn't move fast enough the gaurds would beat you.

Yup, yup -- that was a parody of Last Starfight (and according to the commentary -- there was originally going to be a Donkey Kong parody there too).

I'll add one more -- Encino Man when Link is obsessed with Rad Mobile.   Rewatching that film I realized that it's pretty horrible.  When will America be blessed with a good Paulie Shore movie?

Just saw ET a couple of days ago.
Elliot's Brother wears  Space Invader shirt, and he makes a comment about some guy getting a high score on Asteroids... They did n't actually show the games but they are mentioned

Ok, the one game that is not real (i hope) but i'd like to play is from Strange Brew... Intergalactic Border Patrol!

There may be some real games there too...

There's a basketball game in 'Airplane!'.  They are playing it in the control tower.  It might be Atari 2600 though.

Frogger appears in a 'Seinfeld' episode.  George gets a high score on it and then wants to buy the machine.

Watched Rocky III the other night, and there is a bit where Pauly goes into an arcade full of classics like crazy climber, starcastle etc...

Ms Pacman was also in that episode of Friends.

That made me so proud to be a Ms Pac owner-  I just sat grinnin'.
