/vr/ - Retro Games

Galaga in Avengers

Well, there's the obvious Frogger episode.

I think they just put that box up there to make it look like he had more movies than he did.

>>937152
That's actually the episode the screen grab was taken from too.

>>937152

>He looks like a frog...

In Hudson Hawk, after Bruce Willis is released from prison, Danny Aiello asks Bruce if he wants to play Nintendo. Bruce looks at him and asks "...What's Nintendo?"

Later in the film, "play Nintendo" is used as a sex euphemism.

The bigger joke, of course, is that there's a Hudson Hawk game for the NES. And yes, it's shit.

tl;dr - go watch Hudson Hawk.

>>937139
In Ghostbusters 2 where that nerdy lawyer dude and the secretary have sex over Super Mario Bros.

>>937173
Just watched the Continue? episode where they play Hudson Hawk. Yeah, that game looks like freaking trash.

>>937185

And they control the Statue of Liberty with a Power Pad.

>>937191
Actually, it's a NES Advantage, but close enough.

More importantly why has there never been a Seinfeld game/fangame?

For years I thought there was an arcade version of Doom II because of a scene in Grosse Point Blank.

I will never know the satisfaction of seeing my initials on the high scores of a Doom machine. ;_;

>>937139
>Elaine

I don't see it.

>>937208
Why would they elaborately go to the trouble to fake a prop for a game that doesn't even exist in that form? It had to be Doom II?

Come to think of it I have never seen anyone play an n64 in a movie.

Even the Genesis had its moment in the sun with swingers. Why not the n64?

>>937208
I would pay dumb amounts of money to have that. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to set up on a MAME cabnet/computer...but how would you switch weapons?

>>937212
World Cup. I have a boxed version too for some unknown reason.

>>937212
Look on the shelf. Nintendo World Cup.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXj9muy2gM4

>>937224
Map some buttons

>>937139

George had one too.

I don't remember what episode, but is was in the foreground in his apartment not hooked up to anything.

>>937213

What show is that?

>>937242

I read the OP as SNES.

George is shown with a SNES in one episode.

can't find a picture but in The 40 Year Old Virgin, the main character has a Prima Wario World Strategy Guide by his bed

This shouldn't be too hard...

>>937246
Yeah, but when you've got like what, 6 buttons to take advantage of (unless you go super crazy and add things like the ball used in the bowling games/golf games, etc), it's going to be an odd configuration.

>>937258
For Doom don't you just need fire, action, strafe left, strafe right, change weapon up, and change weapon down?

>>937270
Weapons were on shortcuts on the number row. Cycling through them with an up/down would be tedious and you couldn't switch weapons very efficiently at all.

>>937207
Well you'd have to figure out how to make it about nothing.

>>937208
there's a Quake arcade version

>>937208
In the scene, there is a gunfight going on in the convenience store behind that kid, and he's completely oblivious because he's having a simulated gunfight in a video game. The movie came out in '97, so I guess it was relevant at the time, but I'm pretty sure there were light gun games at that point that would have made the point just as well. Maybe it was cheaper to build a mockup around a PC running a demo than to buy a relevant arcade cab?

I've thought about this too much.

>>937224
It's a dream of mine, as well. Doom has pretty simple controls. With the basic 8-way stick and 6-button design I assume most people put on a general purpose MAME cab you'd have just enough - shoot, open doors, cycle weapons 2 ways, and strafe left and right. The stick would move/turn. You would have to always run, though. If you had a flight joystick or whatever with buttons on it, it would be even easier.

>>937278

It would be a life sim.

Joey and Chandler had an N64 at one point.

I remember a little snapshot for it in the foreground in N64 magazine yeaaaars ago.

Earthbound box is Fraiser iirc

also the an Roseanne episode where DJ gets a Super Nintendo.

>>937282
Good to know. It's strange how little I remember the n64 in pop culture.

>>937291
I'm so sorry for your lots.

>>937286
Really? I'd love to see that without watching the entire show.

This needs to be a tumblr.

>>937258
One joystick for movement. One spinner for turning. One button for fire, one for run/use. A row of small buttons for weapon select (or hold a button and use the joystick to select between the 8 weapons).

Princess Bride

Any show trying to look hip

>>937276
I played it mostly on Playstation.

In the first episode of the Animorphs show, they play the PS1 Beast Wars Transformers game on an arcade cabinet.

>>937296
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvqRyHj0nPs
Top left corner.

>>937287
There was an episode of Roseanne where the little boy is sitting on the couch with a SNES controller, Fat Bitch asks him what he's doing, he responds "I'm waiting to get out of the dungeon" then Fat Bitch does something bitchy.

I still remember it as clear as day.

In The X-Files Season 3 Episode 3 "D.P.O", Giovanni Ribissi watches Jack Black play Virtua Fighter in an arcade while Marcy Playground's Sex & Candy plays in the background.

Beat THAT

Pretty much every episode of ReBoot is one long videogame reference.

>>937295
The PS version wasn't the same as the PC original, for sure, but it had its own charm. The Aubrey Hodges Doom music is really creepy and oppressive, the colored lighting is pretty cool, and fighting Doom II monsters in Doom was pretty cool for a kid who didn't have a computer or know mods were a thing in the 90s.

I played it mostly on the N64.

favorite video game themed sitcom episode is the Diff'rent Strokes where Arnold becomes addicted to an arcade machine.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbtcai_diffrent-strokes-5-01-shoot-out-at_fun

>>937313
2 90s 4 me

>>937313
all-time favorite episode

>>937317
You've suffered more in a lifetime than I could suffer in 10. The fact that you're still here is tantamount to your courage.

>>937287
Vidya shows up frequently in Roseanne. There are at least 2 episodes that show one or another of the Connors playing with the SNES that Anon mentioned, also in one episode Mark is shown to have an NES in his apartment and in another episode he plays an arcade game at the grocery store after punching the manager. Oh, and there's another that has Darlene playing arcade games at the local bowling alley.
Show had a lot of comic book culture as well.

>>937321
It's the most 90s thing that has ever or will ever happen.

>>937256
I wonder if Will still plays games.

I can't find the right picture at the moment, but Laughing Bull from Cowboy Bebop had a PlayStation in his tent.

too obvious to really count

>>937305
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvqRyHj0nPs
Aww man I was hoping fraiser played it.

Didn't Drew Carey have a Sega Saturn in his show, too?

Encino Man had Sega's Rad Mobile

>>937362
And then later it turned into a Dreamcast

>>937365
encino man is totally my sca childhood.

>>937365
I won't lie, I cried when they gave him the handful of quarters and tried to chase him away

>>937313

How about Ben Affleck and Jason Lee playing NHL on a Mega Drive discussing comics and lesbians? That's pretty fucking 90's.

tepg.se/chasing-amy-1997/

>>937378

Kevin Smith & co. love the Genesis NHL games. He wanted it in Mallrats, but Sega pushed the latest Saturn one, which he hated.

>>937287

>Roseanne

I only kind of remember it, but it was a typical "Oh, the adult got upset at the child for playing too much! But look! Now the ADULT is hooked! Hilarious!" sitcom scenario she was playing Super Mario World, but saying shit like she had to find more bones for the monkey king or something.

>>937378
I thought that was blades of steel for nes

they show Bobby from KotH with his N64 and controllers a lot and they allude to the fact that he plays Tomb Raider

>>937382
>Kevin Smith & co. love the Genesis NHL games.

They're not the only ones. I still give '97 a bash every now and then.

>>937381

I watched it on Netflix months back. It was more about how Rosanne's mother undermines her plans, since they saved up for the SNES but DJ's grandma bought it randomly without consulting her daughter.

I also talked with the actor who played DJ. He is a total gamer

>>937362

Yep, shitload of games too. Who knows what treasure were on that set?

>>937247
Chuck i think.
Its the guy from chuck anyways

>>937353
He looks depressed at that res.

>>937313
>Marcy Playground's Sex & Candy
God I hate that song so much. I can't imagine what the songwriter must feel that it was their one hit.

>>937217
I would imagine someone of the crew did that for their own mame cabinet nonsense and just offered to bring it in.

>>937468
>Hey guys, I'll totally rent a truck and get a couple buddies to help me haul my custom Doom II arcade cab down to the set so you can shoot it and have it in the movie for 45 seconds! That'll get asses in the seats at the theater!

>>937350
I like how one of the most common games they're seen playing is a beat'em up, possibly as an allusion to the SMS' only killer app, Double Dragon. It was a better port than the NES version, but the NES version was apparently the better game.

Also, I've been dying to know this. There was one movie, I think an Arnold movie, where he was frozen and I think revived, and somehow couldn't talk. He then broke into some kids tree house when they appeared to be playing an SNES, and the game appeared to be F-Zero. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

>>937336
Probably cod and Madden

>>937382
NHL 93 was my shit, I have 2 Genesis copies and 1snes copy

>>937505
>he was frozen and I think revived, and somehow couldn't talk. He then broke into some kids tree house when they appeared to be playing an SNES, and the game appeared to be F-Zero.
YEEES. It was Forever Young with Mel Gibson and Elijah Wood.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vUfBOdSmBU

>>937515
Do you have the clip at hand? Thanks in advance.

>>937281
Yeah, Animal Crossing already demonstrated how to make a game about nothing.

>>937215
Actually, I remember an N64 controller scattered among the debris of pudding cups in the beginning scenes of "Dude, Where's My Car?"

>>937256
What Baseball game is that? NES had a ton of them.

>>937276
I already switch weapons almost exclusively with weapon up/down. There's no real need to have dedicated hotkeys when it means more than doubling the size of your button layout.

Lost, season 4 episode 2. NES with games stacked on it on the shelf under the TV.

It's quite coincidental that I'd happen to watch this episode the same day I see this thread.

Don't mistake coincidence for fate

>>937582
RBI

>>937215
Bobby Hill's video game system is an N64.

>>937215
>Why not the n64?
Because it was a colossal failure, and singlehandedly brought Nintendo's home console empire down to the ground.

>>937331
But Doom 64 is pretty cool too, mate. I think you're too close-minded with your Dooming.

There was that one Friends episode where they were trying to beat a record on Ms. Pac-Man, because Chandler put obscene initials on the High Score table.

Which was pretty dumb, really, you can't even record input any initials on Ms. Pac-Man!

>>937596
>center position
What game is he playing?

>>937605
Doom 64 is a great example of how to do PC-to-console ports. Last-gen PC game, some extra shine, new levels, etc, on a "current" console.

>>937468
Considering the movie came out in '97, when MAME barely existed, I highly doubt that this was the case.

>>937602
Was it really? Every kid on the playground I knew had a N64. When I first heard about the Playstation, I thought it was some sort of train-themed Chinese knock-off. It wasn't until somewhere around middle school (2000ish) that I knew what a Playstation actually was.

But then, that might have been because I was 10.

>>937602
w-wut

>>937606
Perhaps one of the AKI wrestling games

The console on can see a few times on Regular Show is a Master System.

It was a pretty nice touch.

>>937617
>>937624
It was destroyed by the PS1 in sales, and it caused third parties to run to the hills when it came to Nintendo consoles. So yeah, it did affect Nintendo for the worse. It's failure is the reason why BAH BAAH exists.

>>937602
Then explain why Nintendo is the company that still sells the most consoles right now.

It still sold well enough.

>>937602
The N64 was an alright console. Nintendo was only the market leader because of predatory, illegal developer contracts. Once that went away, their marketshare dropped from 90% (NES versus 7800+SMS) to 50% within one generation (SNES versus MD+TG16) and then down to 25% the next (N64 versus PSX+SS).

>>937627
Because it costs half as much.

>>937627
Because it didn't sell to gamers, it sold to casuals. The best selling games for the Wii prove this.

The Wii sealed Nintendo's fate as an outside market that is unprofitable to anyone but Nintendo themselves and their lackeys.

>>937540
I've been looking, but I can't find it anywhere. I remember the kid(s) playing F-Zero as the only remotely interesting thing about that movie.

>>937627
>Then explain why Nintendo is the company that still sells the most consoles right now.
They're barely in the lead (100m Wii versus about 75m each of the PS3/360), with the lowest software attach rate. Also, let's not forget the PS2, which still dominates everything with over 150m units sold.

Nintendo isn't a magnet for innovative 3rd party development. They're a self-contained ecosystem which is fairly profitable by itself. This began with the N64.

>>937648
Ah, alright. Thanks. I actually thought they were playing an SNES version of Forsaken, as the vehicle kinda looked like Earl Sleek's ship.

>>937139
There was a Sonic 1 arcade cabinet in one episode of X-Files. You can hear it in the background, and one of the main characters in that episode is playing Virtua Fighter.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM7M8rsE3n4

>>937654
>Nintendo isn't a magnet for innovative 3rd party development anymore.

Fixed that for you.

>>937608
>Friends episode
There was one episode where someone mentions a girl giving her boyfriend the greatest possible gift, and Chandler goes, "A Sony PlayStation?!"

>>937626
>It's failure is the reason why BAH BAAH exists.
That's something of a stretch, but I see what you mean about the third party thing.

>>937664
Fucking fuck, I searched X-Files and everything and I still managed to miss the other post. Ah well.

>>937665
How is that ant different from what he wrote?

I realize there are posts from people in this thread that didn't read the thread before they posted but it's like you didn't even read the rest of the post you're replying to.

>>937678
It's okay, Man I wasn't going to specifically call you out on it.

>>937679
Because his initial statement >implied that Nintendo never was, and never will be, a platform for third parties. It used to be.

Of course, that doesn't seem to be a problem with their handhelds, but what's that? Like the NES before them, they literally face no competition. That still doesn't explain why they keep getting ports and spinoffs from the big third parties, though.

>>937684
Hey at least I mentioned that Sonic 1 is playing in the background, that's something.

So used to /v/ being shitheads about every little thing I guess.

Anyway here's another to contribute:

>In one scene Malcolm and Stevie are in Stevie's room playing Sonic R. Malcolm is playing as Sonic. Stevie who is confined to a wheel chair is playing as Amy Rose who is the only character in Sonic R that is on wheels.

>>937690

And to think, if Frasier bought that copy and held onto it, he could sell it today and take a year off of work.

Oh I had tons of fun with it
I just missed out on playing ocarina of time, sonic adventure 2, and super mario bros as a kid

>>937139

There's a NES in the background of the show The IT Crowd along with a bunch of other 'nerdy' stuff. Great show, though.

I would have been so grateful for a Saturn.

Now you're just doing it on purpose

The Amazing World of Gumball has quite a few.

>In "the Third", Tobias changes his colors while Mario's walking sounds from Donkey Kong play

>In "the DVD", when Gumball and Darwin jump on a trampoline, the "woop woop" sound from those jumping plungers in stage 2 from Donkey Kong is played

>in "the Treasure", when they make the sun shine against the chimney, you hear a chime similar to the one from the Zelda games

>in "the Secret", Gumball and Darwin appear to be playing a fighting game with a stage that resembles Final Fight's train stage. Gumball character was a rat that resembled Balrog, while Darwin's was a goofy hot dog guy, as if from Clay Fighter. The lifebars are clearly from SF2, and their controllers resembled SNES controllers. All those games appeared on the SNES.

>in "the Refund", they appear to rent a European/Japanese SNES game, but doesn't work on their console. In the end of this episode, the store owner gave them a machine that closely resembles the Retron Famiclone that apparently is a shredder.

>in various episodes, such as "the flower", you can see SNES cartridges lying around

>in "the Words", they recreate a fight that resembles Street Fighter, with a remix of Guile's theme

While Regular Show is referred to be like /v/ in cartoon form, I definitely think Gumball is /vr/.

>>937786

Forgot to mention that the Pause button is on the console itself in real life, not on the controller.

>>937327

Same.

Fucking great.

>>937804
Well, I figured everyone here already knew that.

>>937173

Every ma/vr/ick should become cultural warriors to get the phrase 'play Nintendo' into common parlance as a euphemism for sex.

As in 'Your sister totally played Nintendo on the regular over summer break.'

>>937278

Just have EA publish it.

>>937209

Careful, I hear she Lizer ass off.

>>937596

Is Hank Hill the reason we say vidya?

>>937525

That's my favorite episode of Spaced.

>>937256

This is how I'm always going to remember him. The cool, wisecracking Fresh Prince of my childhood, sitting on the floor playing Nintendo with that childlike joy in his eyes.

Rather than the staid, boring, strangely metafictional father figure of After Earth.

>>937914
>Is Hank Hill the reason we say vidya?
Yes. 0:35

>tantamount

You mean 'testament'.

>>937908

Someone get some aloe, because that burn is sick as fuck.

>>937337

I think it appears prominently in the movie.

He probably played it with Spike while they smoked the peace pipe.

>>937925

Although to be fair he was sort of playing vidya in that movie.

Drew Carey had a Sega Saturn on top of his tv, it was later replaced with a Sega Dreamcast

>>937908

Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda directly from "The Legend Of Zelda". Apparently his whole family loves the shit out of those games.

>>937963

I'm kinda surprised he didn't just call her (COCAINE SNORT NOISE).

>>937967
Too easy.

>>937973

Just like the majority of Mr. Williams' comedy. Can't blame me for trying to be consistent.

>>937979
Hahaa...

>>937353
>>937358

I'm surprised it's connected.

They're still button mashing, and shaking the controller like they're actually playing it. Malcolm in the middle surprisingly had a lot of vidya in there.

Lauren Holly, obviously. Though I'm not sure why I would have to choose.

>>938089

>>938089

Look at her thighs mang, shit.

Lauren Holly is fucking bauss.

>>937371

Nostalgia'd so fucking hard.

Also that guy who tried to get rid of him was a douche. He didn't really have any redeeming qualities in retrospect (no pun intended).

>>938108

I love Encino Man from pure nostalgia.

I remember the grandma buying DJ an SNES when his parents already had one wrapped up for him hidden somewhere in the house.

I assume he means "mame cabinet" figuratively.

>>938117

Do you mean BMO? She's not an NES, she's a BMO!

Big Adventure Time fan. I know BMO's meant to be male, but I can't accept that.

>>937963

>>938123

My uncle was at college with him. He was apparently a cool dude.

>>938125

By gays?

That's completely without justification. It isn't porn.

The NES version of Dr. Mario is prominently featured in the 90's slasher "Dr. Giggles". The titular doctor sneaks up on an unsuspecting kid, who's completely engrossed in playing Dr. Mario (with a joystick no less). It seems as if Giggles were about to murder the boy, but then he just looks at him gawking zombie-like at the TV, diagnoses him as "terminal" and walks away. It's actually a pretty funny scene.

>>938120
>>938121
No, they have an actual NES.

Whole movie written around a game that doesn't exist, at least not in the format it was featured.

http://www.youtube.com/user/movieclips/search?query=cloak+dagger

>>938141
omg I remember this movie. I remember spending hours searching for a rom of Cloak and Dagger because I thought it sounded really cool.

Scott Pilgrim has the Fairy Fountain playing in a dream sequence involving Ramona.

One episode of That 70's Show has a subplot involving Red and... that guy played by Ashton Kutcher hard-modding a Pong console. Their goal is to decrease the size of the paddles.

>>938141
Some of those mock-up Atari 5200 Cloak and Dagger boxes showed up on eBay around 1999-2000. "Retro gaming" wasn't a thing yet, so they didn't sell for a stupid amount of money IIRC.

>>938184
Kelso.

>>938205
Yeah when I saw that and realized id was making House of the Dead style arcade zombie rail shooters I never looked at anything they touched again.

>>938230
Have they touched anything else yet?

>>938205
In Malcom in the Middle it always got to me that the youngest brother's GBA didn't have carts in it, while it beeped and booped. Sad too, because the kid said in a later interview that he knew it was wrong.

>>937247
Yeah, it's Chuck.
He and the chick have been hiding for days in the basement, and there's nothing to do, so he suggests they play Final Fantasy II to pass the time, since it's his favorite game and he used to play it all the time with his roommate Morgan.
And then she suggests sex instead.

>>937654
They basically own the handheld market though, and sold more DS's than any of those consoles sold.

I hate that western devs hate handhelds though because handhelds are better than any console on the market now.

>>938342

>>938201
They play a lot of video games on that show.

Robocop 2 had an arcade scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLO7MhtHYKg

>>937471
Maybe it's the cabinet owner's store, so they didn't have to move it.

If they were moving it from another location why is there a banner too? It's too excessive for it to be deliberate.

Unless it's integral to the plot or something, but I think if there was a work of fiction involving an arcade version of Doom 2 we'd know about it.

My Name is Earl had an Atari 2600 in it, one of the characters owned it and took Polaroid photos to track high-scores.

I think it's notable because it's actually a "retro" console in the fiction too, not just a dated TV show with whatever console they had on hand.

>>938431
I want more examples like this, rather than just background props.

>>938431

Oh shit, I forgot Crabman had an Atari.

It's even referenced a lot.

That's a little too on-the-nose, don't you think? Things have deviated a bit from OP's post. 'Hey look, Jerry had a Nintendo' does not equal 'entire movie about video games featuring lots of games played by a video game savant'.
Understand?

Evangelion was referenced in the movie One Hour Photo in which he stars in. He even mispronounced it on purpose as an inside joke.

>>938581
That movie is so disturbing.

Father Ted has Dougal and Father Damo playing Street Fighter II.

>>938585
But when we actually see them playing it, they appear to be playing it with joysticks that don't look like they even have enough buttons. Especially strange since the cowriter Graham Linehan is a big video games fan, so I would've expected him to try and get it more accurate.

Speaking of Linehan, the IT Crowd has a lot of video game references, mostly in the menus for the DVDs.

>>938587

I know. I love it and own it on DVD. I have a thing for movies like that.

Anyone remember the original Street Fighter in the movie Juice?

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

>>938585
Is that the master system version?

Winter Games for the NES seems to be a pretty popular game in a lot of TV shows and movies.

> Retro Video Games in Popular Culture
> Any other examples you guys have found?
a 35 year old movie sponsored by Nintendo to hype the release of Mario 3 is a watershed moment in video game marketing history. It proved the demand of its rabid fan base could provide a significant return outside of the console market, grossing over 14 million, even if you feed them shill. The birth of the COD culture and one of the reasons vidya is randomly inserted into popular shows/films as a lure for a specific demographic. Entirely relevant to the thread.

>>938616

>you will never be old enough to remember SMB3 being unveiled through "The Wizard"

I was born the year that movie came out.

>>938601
No idea, they never show the console they're playing it on and the joysticks they're using are both completely different.

The DVD menus for the IT Crowd are a rather interesting example. The first series had one based on old 80s computers like the C64 and ZX Spectrum, namely the games Jet Set Willy and Head Over Heels.

>>938616
OP here. Not really relevant, everyone has heard of that movie. It was more for obscure one off things. Thanks though.

>>938621
I saw it in the theater. Fred Savage and I are the same age.

Almost forgot that Spaced had Tim play Playstation quite a lot. Resident Evil 2 somewhat figured into the plot of one episode and they even worked a bit of dialogue from it into the script. According to Simon Pegg he would actually sit there and play the game between shooting and was consciously trying to avoid "bad Playstation acting" and make it look authentic.

>>938358

Here you go. A whole bunch of Sierra games in Striptease.

How can anyone forget the Bomfunk MCs?

CHIKA-CHIKA FREESTYLER!

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

In "The Glass House", the main character's little brother can be seen playing video games on various systems all throughout the movie, including the N64, a Gameboy Color and a Playstation. It plays into the plot, too, because the adoptive parents basically bribe the kid with those consoles.

>>937705
Didn't that show imply he made a lot more money than a few thousand a year?

>>937738
Those are easy to emulate, save for N64 games, but OoT has a great remake on 3DS. Just play em now.

>>937786
Guess that even Master System fans hated a pause button on the system.

Wasn't Final Fantasy VIII in Charles Angels?

>>938719
He was a big time radio psychologist and lived in a kick ass apartment while indulging in fine wine, up scale entertainment, and generally the finer things in life.

Frasier was a pimp and living large.

Unrelatedly, Kirstie Alley ruined Cheers.

>>937934
I would play the hell out of a game like this, even if the commissioner part was stupid plot BS.

>>938719
>implying Earthbound is worth a few thousand dollars

>>937914
Technically it stemmed from this and kind of spread afterwards, though whoever made the comic probably did get it from that.

>>938746
You can't imagine stupid college kids putting a cheat code like that in a multiplayer online game?

>>938762
I say "vidya games" because of KoTH. I have never seen that comic in my life.

>>937596
>Bobby Hill's video game system is an N64.

Yeah but every time you see him playing a videogame on it, its Tomb Raider.

At least he is in at least 3 or 4 episodes

>>938595
IIRC the first episode has a ZX Spectrum, it's even referred to by name.

Corey Feldman plays Zaxxon in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.

I'm pretty sure the 'deflectors' in that show Cha$e in the Sci Fi channel were Wii remotes (with the little rubber protector) painted gold.

>>938117
>>938138

The Ice King, in that Marceline episode, also had one, but inside a box.

Nintendo needs to learn that the NES is by far their most influential console, and none of their other consoles will ever, ever, be like it again. That was only because of illegal monopolistic contracts, though.

>"Whadda ya know? I beat my high score!"

>>938919

Yeah, Sega partially funded the show, so they put one in.

Anybody mention that Jackie Chan movie with the Game Gear yet?

>>938919
yes

In Alien: Resurrection, there's a scene early on where they play some then-current arcade fighter jet game. Searching for it on YouTube just brings up clips of games based on the movies...

>>937207

Not one that ended the game on everyone else's machine. But god mode type dealy? Yeah for sure. I'm cool with that at least.

>>938945
Is it an evil terrorist machine?

>>938487

tantamount is a comparative. He meant 'testament'.

I notice anytime a show does a plot that involves video games, it's basically about how addicting they are.
While they can be (how else can you explain the tf2 mann-conomy doing so well?) methinks it was also due to 80's and 90's fears about video games' corrupting influence. I bet they were just jealous, because any kid watching these shows would have enjoyed playing whatever vidya was shown much more.

>>939018
People were legitimately worried about the influence of video games on children, so it is no surprise. Remember the outrage caused by Doom, Postal or other games of they kind? Even after the retro days, we still had controvesies like the GTA:SA one.

>>939018
>>939052

Videogames are STILL always the first thing to get blamed when there's some kind of violent incident. It'll be a while before everyone who didn't grow up playing and loving games is gone.

Even then the media will probably still jump on them.

>>938597
The train yard scene. I remember asking myself if this was the first streetfighter.

>>938184
Fucking loved that episode.

>>939104
Soldering is the future of video gaming. We just haven't reached it yet!!

>>938978
Ah yes, that was a good episode.

>>938976
Never noticed this one before.

>>939184
Rex plays the SNES alot in Toy Story 2, though I can't remember if it was the SNES or a generic console now that I think about it.

Andy has a couple of consoles in Toy Story 3 when he cleans his room out too.

>>939052
True, but the GTA:SA one is because of sex.
Videogames do a great job highlighting how you can show scores of people getting murdered but as soon as one chick shows her tits suddenly it's a crime.
To drag another topic into this I don't get why drawn porn of pedo stuff is a crime but drawing people getting viciously killed isn't.

>>939194
It makes the opening sequence that much more impressive that it's basically though the eyes of Rex as he interprets the pixels on the screen.

>>937291
I always chuckled when the game sound effects/console/controllers NEVER matched up, not even two out of three.

I remember a Bond movie with a high class party hosted by the villain and there were some arcades in the big fancy hall for some reason, I think one was Centepide.

In the movie Sean Connery looked old, maybe it was his last movie on the role.

Bloodsport and the Karate Champ match

I know that these shows have already been mentioned, but...

>Friends
Chandler walks into the apartment and Joey is dressed as a 90's teen to prove he can play a young role as an actor (think backwards ball cap and saggy jeans). As he gets up from his chair, you can see he was playing Crash Team Racing, but he didn't bother to pause the game.

>Drew Carey Show
In one episode, I think the company is bribing him over something, so they give him a PS1 for his desk station. He's playing Madden, I think. Also in one of their April Fool's Day episodes, the scene is set as The Sims.

>>939227
>>938982

oh yeah that was it

James Belushi killing time with Manhole in K-9. Bonus points for being a "Chekov's gun"

My mind is fuzzy but I think there was a TMNT scene (second movie I guess) with the Foot clan recruiting youngsters by being cool and their lair had some arcades but maybe I'm mistaking it with a another movie.

>>939250
Oh yeah, he uses it as a fake remote for a supposed bomb later on, right?

They (the student devs) were sick of it ("psh nobody plays that anymore") so they probably wanted an excuse to take the server offline to use it for their newest project.

>>937353
No body beats subzero! That's just stupid!

>>939336

Clearly that's not actually a gameboy and runs on entirely different hardware.

>>937387
Yeah KoTH has made several references to Tomb Raider and Lara Croft.

>>939405

You're referring to this right?

>>938038

>>938601
I don't think so, the Master System version doesn't say "First Attack," and it was made by Tec Toy for Brazil.

>>939591
We established it's a ZX Spectrum

>>938595
>>938585
Probably the Amiga version. Which, as I remember, was truly awful. And with the controls somehow mapped to the one button Atari standard joysticks.

Theres a scene in the goonies where the kids are playing Ocarina of Time

>>938585
This must be Super SF2, due to the "First Attack" message and the star win icon. Probably the SNES or Genesis version.

>>939662
Well it's not the Commodore version...

>>939657
I find that difficult to believe.

>>938937

Man, didn't think I'd see that mentioned.

>>937513

>>939647
Why the hell is Ken doing a crouching kick in midair?

>>939747
Maybe that version recycled animation frames to save space.

>>939263

That's in the first movie, actually. There's a few scenes that show some kids playing NARC (fighting the final boss) in their warehouse/hideout/whatever.

I remember having to watch this one movie back in elementary school, I think (so early 90's) that was about this black thug kid who goes back in time to slavery time to learn a lesson about something. How much it sucks to be a slave, or empowering the black kids during african american history month. I can't remember.

Anyways, at the being of the movie he was fencing goods out of the back of his car, and one of them was a nintendo

>>937215
All the time in Malcom in the Middle.

Actually, pretty much anything Nintendo in Malcom in the Middle.

>>937951
Oh, also Enemy of the State, he thought he bought a Game Boy but it was some NSA bullshit

My cousin vinnie, He is playing TMNT on a NES

>>939818
Malcolm played Saturn.

>>937908

You can see the "Score Time and Rings" display in the upper corner, as well as a few rings and the Marble Zone background.

No idea where they got the footage from.

BMO seems to be a Gameboy with an NES/SNES built in. Something like a $200 emulation machine.

Where to start...

Corey Feldman is a bigtime gamer. He built his own MAME machine.

That 70's show has some gaming anachronisms, like Asteroids showing up years early.

Robin Williams, gah what a geek. Love him!

The Doom 2 prop from Grosse Point Blank appears in a Seinfeld episode.

Seinfeld's only saving grace (Terrible show...ugh) is all the easter Eggs. Watch his show closely and you'll see things you never noticed, like a mockup NES box for Simcity (!!!!)

Well he did have access to Michael Jacksons personal arcade.

>>943343
Oh yeah, Michael Jackson was big into Sega, huh?

The whole Sonic 3 music thing aside, he had that Moonwalker game, which he actually assisted in production of. And later assisted in development and made a cameo in Space Channel 5 on the Dreamcast.

Any other stories involving MJ and vidya games? Like some specific on what games he liked besides Sanic and his own?

Also, >personal arcade
is that some sort of joke or are you actually talking about the arcade he had?

>>943350

After he died, there was a website that gave you a 360-degree tour of his arcade.

The games looked like they hadn't been played in ages.

>>938970

There's actually a Kids In the Hall episode where one of the guys wears a Zork! sweater.

Ever since I saw it, I've been looking for that sweater.

Hate me for it, but it bears mentioning.
In an episode of Big Bang Theory, Leonard and Sheldon's apartment gets broken into, and he rolls off a list of game systems that got stolen.
And there's probably a few shots of them throughout the series.
