video games inside movies inside video games?

 

Computer Space, one of the first arcade video game machines, featured in Soylent Geen (1973):



The arcade at the amusement park that I used to work for actually had one of these back in the mid 1970s. Ours had a purple (with embedded glitter!) cabinet instead of the white one shown here. I remember it was rather difficult to play.

 

The Wizard comes to mind.

 

Check out the Arcade At The Movies site which has dozens of examples of arcade games in movies (with pictures!).

CALI-FORNIA!

 

Food Fight!

 

I think on V The Original Minieries theres's one scene where Robin (Blair Tefkin) ans a visitor are playing Space Invaders.

 

I hope I am not breaking the rules with an "Arcade Game" and not a "Video Game". If I am I am sorry and you move on while I skulk away.
American Graffiti has the pinball machine scene where the guys are getting some change...with pry bars no less.

 

Cool!

Check out this website that lists pinball games in movies.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High has a great arcade scene.

 

The Last Starfighter.....

 

I can't recall the game, but there is the scene in "Back To The Future II with a young Elijah Wood.

 

Wild Gunman!

Here's the Back To The Future Wikipedia page on it:

Here's information about the game:

"Aw, you mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!".

 

Bad News Bears?

 

"The King of Kong" has more video games in it than every other movie combined.

 

Does it have Donkey Kong 3 in it? I love that game (seriously!).

 

In Swingers there are a few scenes where they play an NHL game, on Sega Genesis I believe. One of my all time fave movies!

 

I didn't even know that there was a 2.

 

Donkey Kong 3 is the "bug spray" game that doesn't play much like the original or Donkey Kong Jr.

I've played an arcade machine called "Donkey Kong II", but it was most likely some kind of bootleg or hacked together version that used the original's graphics to form new levels. This was at Funspot in NH, the same place that much of King Of Kong was filmed.

 

Yes, Donkey Kong II AKA: D2K: Jumpman Returns is a hack (and apparently a very good one).

Of course, Donkey Kong Jr. is the official sequel to Donkey Kong.

 

Twilight Zone - The Movie: In the third segment/story, the kid "Anthony" plays Atari's Tempest at the segment's opening.

 

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Never Say Never Again
Nightmares
how about the holographic chess game in Star Wars?

 

The Princess Bride starts with a video game.
