Title: Games on film
Post by: ballboff on May 16, 2016, 06:21:57 am

I was watching only fools and horses the other week, and I happened to see a space invaders part 2 machine in the background.

Also, yesterday I was watching the pacifier and I glanced over as I wasn't really watching, and I noticed a mortal kombat 2 machine in the background.

So this got me thinking.... how many more machines , that being home or arcade have you seen in film or on tv?  There must be loads more...

I'd wager every kids/teen movie in the 80's to early 90's probably had an arcade machine in it.

Two that come immediately to mind are TMNT (the first movie) and Wargames.

Yeah I've seen that film, it's crazy.  There's also one very similar called "arcade" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106302/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106302/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1).  I've heard of one called "the wizard", but I've never seen it.
