/vr/ - Retro Games

Was watching season 10 of Trailer Park Boys last night. Cory and Jacob were playing an N64 with a GC controller and the standard sounds of Pac man 2600.

Wayne's World: Sonic beta

Beethoven: simultaneous 2-player SMB3 (ha), featuring the Power Glove

>>3121394
rad as fuck

Desperate Hours: the son plays Punch-Out!! (and maybe another NES game, too? I can't remember) and briefly discusses the content of the game with one of the antagonists who is apparently also a fan of the game

I always liked the XFiles episode with the kid who could control lightning. Played the shit out of Virtua Fighter.

Not sure if this counts?

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare: a direct parody of the power glove

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=otBNYc0lJ6Y

Boyz n the Hood: Duck Hunt, complete with what looks to be the Famicom lightgun (presumably for dramatic effect)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8IlMJX3yKJ0

Dr giggles(?) watches a kid play DR. mario and talks about it

>>3121429
(also a reference by way of Doughboy's "Tecmo Bowl playin' motherfucker" line)

The Goldbergs: various references in various episodes, the following video features Punch-Out!! arcade (and a Polybius cab cameo)

The Saturn was in the background of the Drew Carey show and was replaced with a Dreamcast in later episodes. Pic is crap quality, but it's the only one I could find.

Nice to know that Drew is a Sega bro.

"The Accused" starring Jodie Foster.
The stand-up arcade game Street Football was used to track down the witness (his initials were the high score).

George Costanza has Virtual Boy and SNES

Apparently you can control the Statue of Liberty with this thing.

cloak and dagger (1984) with the kid from E.T. was sort of a promotion for the game and also a movie about espionage.

>>3121847
it also had a character who was basically the original neckbeard. now that I think about it his character is very similar to the friend matthew broderick seeks help from in War Games.

>>3121431
I saw that awful movie a long time ago.

Sonic R was in Malcolm in the Middle.

>>3121838
You're missing out the ectoplasm, that was the most important part.

>>3121579
>>3121583
>>3121807
I would've thought that George was more of a Sega guy.

Jerry seems more like a Dos/Windows kind of guy. What would Kramer play? Neo Geo at Newman's?

>>3122398
He'd just try to invent his own console.

>>3121838
I unironically loved Ghostbusters 2.
Moranis in particular had some great moments.
Like his fucking opening statement in court.

>>3121807
>>3121583
>George with a Virtual Boy

Has George ever won?

The rare 2 player edition of Final Fantasy 8 in Charlie's Angels.

>plays a PS1 game
>atari 2600 sounds

>>3122425
Worth it for warioland desu

>>3122398
>What would Kramer play? Neo Geo at Newman's?
10/10 that is a legit hilarious anecdote.

>>3122423
it's also pretty cool how (in his mind and in the mind of every new yorker observing at the museum) he was the hero of the film.

Don't have a pic of it but if I recall correctly Rumble in the Bronx has a kid in a wheelchair that plays a game gear.

Except that there's never an actual game in the system.

Drew Barrymore playing Slither on the Colecovision.

>>3122441
Louis really did have it the best in that one.
>won his only court case
>got Janine the second she went full prime
>hero of New York by the end of the movie

>>3122398
Why do I feel Kramer'd be antividya?

>>3122457
>"Ya know what they say, Jerr, that stuff rots your brain."

I can totally see that.

Did he have any input when George bought the frogger cabinet? Its been so long since I've watched this show I don't remember anything besides a truck hitting it at the end

Law & Order CI had at least 2 episodes involving retro-ish games.
The one I remember is the season 3 episode called "F.P.S."
The fictional game however was not a fps, but a mortal combat inspired game.
Goren figured out the gaming angle when a co-worker overheard the victim being threatened over the phone to have her "head put on a stick."

>>3122470
"Oh, I don't play video games. That stuff'll make ya cockeyed."

>>3122453
>720p
>Not 1080p

WHY?!

>>3122485
Which is hilarious since that's a common as fuck threat.

D'Onofrio and Erbe were the only good things about CI.

>>3122485

>You will never be able to play Bloodmatch.

>>3121339
Tobias Beecher: Schillinger's beta

>>3121549
Fuck I just saw >>3121506 and for some reason it set me thinking about the Roseanne one. Then there it was.

>>3122398
>Jerry seems more like a Dos/Windows kind of guy.
Didn't he have a proper old Apple Macintosh (before they started abbreviating it to Mac)? And a green bike that he curiously hung up somehow - and never rode?

Tony Soprano playing mariocart on the n64

>>3122448
Was going to post this. Also, the games sounded like Atari.

Missile Command in T2. Not to mention After Burner. And a brief appearance of Trog.

Defender being played in CHiPs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHsJe0NIO2c

>>3122428
Woah I could've sworn it had multiplayer, but you're right. Must've been thinking of 9.

>>3122542
Perfection!
Top-tier game, top-tier show.
Well done.

>>3122548
Funfact: FF4, FF5, FF6 also have the ability to play with 2 people/controllers.

>>3122489
It got even better...
Goren reviewed the hundreds of gamertags,
and figured out the victim was "Shiloh."
He figured this out because the victim's father was a civil war enthusiast.

>>3122532
Pretty sure Tony wins against him using only one hand too.

The Last Starfighter (1984)
The arcade game was used by aliens as a recruitment tool.

>>3122624
he covers his sons eyes while they play.

that scene is a classic example of tonys character - he will do anything to win even if it means cheating, even if it's just a kids game against his own son. he has to win.

It's a common theme throughout the series, and that scene (while playful and innocent) actually represents tony as a person completely.

>>3122656
And this hot babe was in it.

>>3121553
>Es ist so wie dieses Segaspiel Igel
>Igel

How did we forget about "Swingers"?
Probably the best retro gaming scene in any movie.
Roenick vs the "finesse" Kings.
making Gretzky's head bleed.
NHL '94 on Sega if I remember right.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3vHbOilhpc

>>3122656

Last Starfighter is what made me want to play video games in the first place. It was my favorite movie as a kid.

>>3122664
Also my first boner, appropriately enough.

>>3122423
While 2 is defintively a step down, a sort of cash-in rethread and clearly an advertisement for the cartoon, I don't think it's that bad of a movie.

If you loved the first one, it gives you some more of that, and it doesn't really fuck it up, hell, it probably looks quite good when you start looking at the remake cancerfest.

>>3122542
LOL, fuckin' Michael "Worf" Dorn at 0:29 in the video.

>>3122967
You only hate the reboot because you're a misogynist. And a racist.

I prefer the purple SNES because I'm not gay.

>>3121506
I think there was a Playstation in his bedroom.

MILLION DOLLAR EXTREME

Mallrats has one of the main guys playing Sega Saturn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzbSRCkGEv4
>what are you doing?
>finishing my game

Apparently he had his Saturn on all night, that can't be good for the disc.

British TV series "Spaced". Episode 3, the character played by Simon Pegg has been playing Resident Evil 2 and then starts hallucinating about real life zombies.

Funny thing being, it shows him playing the game a long, but he always remains at the start of the game, turning in circle. Pic related, he's still in the introduction of the game.

>>3121435

He also got "mo comics den a mufuckah"

In one hour photo the kid plays doa 2, lei fang vs jean lee.

There's also an Evangelion reference

>>3122398
Jerry almost exclusively had Macintosh hardware on his desk throughout the show.

I remember people talking about this tv show where this kid was arrested for murder or something, but he didn't do it.
then years later he gets released and he goes home, checks out his little brother's room.
and he looks at an ipod and an ipad and a tiny ass laptop. and he doesn't know what to do with it.

so he goes up to the attic and finds a big box of his old stuff, from right before he went to jail.
you see him put on a 90s shirt, and he's sitting in the attic playing Sonic on his Genesis.

Anyone remember what show that was? was sad as fuck.

>>3124468

>>3124553
nice!

>>3124553
lewd

Bump

>>3124691
Makes me feel uneasy

>>3124531
I always thought this was a shop

>>3121582
The Accused also featured the pinball game "Slam Dunk" prominently during the sexual assault scene.
Slam Dunk's designer was not pleased.
He was quoted in Pinball Quarterly saying: "Really? they had to use my pinball machine? They couldn't use a pool table like every other bar room rapist?"

Heh.

>>3124109
They are also shown playing Tekken 3, Tomb Raider and some light gun game I think Crypt Killer.

>>3125050
Kind of. Both ports can control the game, even when both controllers are plugged in.
This means a fucking mess in the overworld, but it also means that the battle commands can be controlled by two people.

>>3125062
The absolute madman.

the new episode of JJBA had a PVM and n64 in it
wow

>>3121305
I remember there was this REALLY shit night of the living dead remake and this girl said she was going into her room to play Doom.

>>3121506

That actually pisses me off. Did he get permission for that shit?

>>3125119
>>3125093
>surprised a nigger steals

>>3125093
The beat is pretty good tho.
Also, Chrono Jigga is fucking GOAT

>>3125119
But that literally what rap is. Speaking to a previously recorded track that has been "remixed". The word "rap" comes from when they used to literally wrap records in shrink wrap to eliminate the vocals.

>>3125153
Nobody is going to fall for that one, bro.

>>3125186
Fall for what one, dumb ass?

>That scene in Rumble in the Bronx where Jackie Chan gives his neighbor kid a game gear and NO GAME
Worst than a toy with no batteries

>>3125189
Your bullshit etymology. No need to get upset, you got your (You) as intended.

>>3125208
Then where did it originate, oh wise one?

>>3121334
You can see a SNES on Julian's coffee table in some of the earlier episodes.

>>3125282
Damn I like that hoodie. It's cute.

>>3125153
that is absolutely false.

>>3125294
The word 'rap' has been around for a really long time. It means to like, talk or have a conversation. To call it rap music alludes to the spoken-word aspect of the performance. It's not like this deep thing, it's literally what the word means.

>>3122428

>>3122428
FF9 was two player so you could have your bro play while sucking yo dic

>>3121305
That guy has such a guilty look on his face.

>>3124228
Oh the irony.

>>3122485
SVU had a couple episodes about Vidya games, one with some fantasy game, another where someone blames his crime spree on video games. Also kill or be slaughtered, can't forget that.

>>3125651
It's an abbreviated form of "rapport".

>>3123973
>malcolm in the middle
>he's actually on the left
Was this intentional? What was the director trying to convey here?

>>3124956

kek if that's his real quote

>>3125056
Delicious. RIP in peace you crazy bastard

>>3125119
No. There is absolutely no fucking way he got permission for it.

But I run into an endless supply of people who are SURE he did. None of them with confirmation. They just dance around it.

SUPAH NINTENDOE
SAYGA GENASSISS

>>3125643
>>3125651
No, it isn't. I'm sorry you're too ignorant to accept the truth about rap.

>>3126435
lol, bring it honky. I'm sorry you're too ignorant to admit that you're a fucking idiot.

>>3126435
And to follow up, go fuck yourself:

"Rapping can be delivered over a beat or without accompaniment. Stylistically, rap occupies a gray area between speech, prose, poetry, and singing. The word (meaning originally "to hit")[8] as used to describe quick speech or repartee predates the musical form.[9] The word had been used in British English since the 16th century. It was part of the African-American dialect of English in the 1960s meaning "to converse", and very soon after that in its present usage as a term denoting the musical style.[10] Today, the terms "rap" and "rapping" are so closely associated with hip-hop music that many use the terms interchangeably."

>>3122664
Catherine Mary Stuart was also the queen of Atari's Tempest coin-op in Night Of The Comet

>>3126515
Wow good call!
I forgot about that flick.
That movie kind of creeped me out as a little kid.

>>3125153
>shrink wrap isolates the frequencies present in vocal information and attenuates them by several hundred dB, while leaving all the other frequencies untouched - something that has only become practically possible with computers within the last decade

>>3125592
I Just watched season one recently, pretty sure theres some kockey games around.

>>3122006
And all the modifications. You could actually mod an advantage to control a robot if you wanted.

>>3121847
As a fan of atari, that commercial was fucking sweet. Especially the scene pictured in that atari store. Sucks I only first watched it recently.

When I was a kid and saw that box at the rental place I always wondered why cloak and dagger were a kid and an old man not a black dude in a cloak and a white chick with light flying out of her hands.

>>3122529
Yes, he did.

>>3122569
Then he backtraced his ip to 345.290.654.432 and found out his apartment number

>>3125075

That's not a PVM is it? Mine doesn't have the wings or speakers. Just a square TV with some handle grooved cut into the sides.

Fairly accurate: Tony's Luigi just crashes into the guardrails.

>New game by pressing reset, immediately start a new race

Actually no-one wins. Tony just got in at a higher placement than his son.

Doesn't he also buy the kid a Gundam figure?

>HDTV.x2(...).jpg (82 KB, 1280x720)

what is the name of that game?

The movie "Nightmares" (1983)
Emilio Estevez plays a fictional game called "Bishop of Battle."
When he gets the high score the game comes to life to destroy Emilio.
Emilio survives, but his career does not.

>>3128875
Also in Nightmares:
an appearance by real arcade game "Pleiades" (Centuri 1981).

>>3128875
>(1983)
>literally one of his first movies
>went on to star in huge blockbusters for the next two decades

Don't try comedy ever again

>>3126405
Final Fantasy Legend 2?

>>3126449
I like how Wiki is only a credible source when it's supporting the person in the wrong.

>>3126668
>Practically possible
>All other frequencies untouched

And there you have it. It's not like rap music has ever been high quality, you know.

Can we all agree niggers are too lazy to come up with their own beats so they steal it from someone else? Thank you.

>>3128907

Atorrantes (a late-night TV show here in Argentina) had a N64, and a Mario poster behind

around 1:45

>>3125069
I loved how he'd play Tomb Raider just to drown Lara whenever he was pissed about his ex.

>>3124109
I watched that episode only a few days ago

My favourite part is when he's playing Tomb Raider and his neighbour comes in:
"She drowned, is that the aim of the game"
"Depends how you're feeling"

>>3129176
It's just the easiest source to find, I know it's not law but this is such a cut-and-dry thing that I thought it was sufficient. I didn't feel like digging through my textbooks from the rap courses I took in college.

>>3121429
is that the famicom gun?

>>3124245
it's a recent show called Rectify

>>3124531

>>3126407

cool scene with a doom arcade cab in it, not sure if these were ever made. Looks pretty real

>>3124691

Ironing of ironings. When this was filmed, that was a $6 clearance-bin POS the prop department probably only grabbed because "big box=big bucks" and they were trying to depict a "high-end" toystore. Nowadays it is a big bucks game because people discovered it after Smash.

>>3126838
Its a newer model pvm no doubt def based off of one

>>3131268

Was been rewatching Gargoyles and this just came up. Props to the sound designer who also used actual video game sound effects that were more recent than Atari.

>>3121986
There was one episode where Reese mentions beating Mortal Kombat but Hal doesn't believe him because "no one can beat Sub-Zero"

>>3122516

>>3132343
VERY expensive

>>3132337
God damn Oz is such a great show.. Adabesi was the funniest

Would a jail actually allow their prisoners to play PC games in the US tho?

>>3132343
Wasn't the point of that episode was to not be a fucking loser and play video games all the time?

Fuck, man. It's as if rhythm and poetry was just a complete afterthought of this new-wave way of speaking prose over beats..

>>3131237
Yes, that is indeed what it looks like. I haven't done a 1:1 comparison, but yeah. Again, they probably used it since it works better for the scene than a US Zapper. Guess hoodrats liked to import their consoles back in the day.

>>3132881

>>3134416
Also something about DE having the license

>>3128907

>>3132872

There was also one that came out about a year ago that was (poorly) based on Gamergate. One of the perps tried to kill one of the detectives, but the detective was a gamer himself and could tell the perp was camping.

>that Accused parody in American Dad with Roger

From the beginning of the movie "Too Much" (1987) by Cannon Films.

They were playing Return Fire in the arcade (!) in that one movie about a hipster going in the army. It had a came with Link (from Encino Man).

goddamnit I loved that movie as a kid, must've watched it a hundred times, and I can't even remember its name.

the eject button on the SNES actually isn't necessary. it's basically just like the NES's connector except you're able to pop it out for convenience.

>>3140608
you're having to put repeated force on the console either against it or just rattling it. the button cuts down wear and tear.
