What's the weirdest stuff related to videogame prototypes in movies you can think of?

My picks:
1) In "Ninja III: the domination" the main character has in her living room a working prototype of a never released-never dumped arcade operated with a trackball, named "Bouncer" (See pic)

2) Hackers (1995), has a scene where the main characters play an arcade version (which was actually a prerendered video) of a very early prototype of Psygnosis' "Wipeout".

3) In Police Story 3: Supercop, when the two main characters (Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh) meet for the first time the villain, he is busy playing an unreleased, probably bootleg, version of Tetris for the megadrive/genesis (while for some reason the audio features sounds from a beat'em up)

>be Jerry
>be super popular celeb
>friend who works at Nintendo gives him a beta copy of SimCity for NES complete with mock-up box
>stick it in the set to show off to everyone that he has a game no one else does
>years later it gets released on the internet, and hardcore hackers modify the game to be a bit more complete and less crashy
>now everyone has a more finished version of the game but he still has an incomplete buggy mess
>but he got to dab on a bunch of children back in the early 90's
Imagine being that wealthy and famous, and still feeling the need to show off to a bunch of kids.
