Ummm...The (in)appropriate comment for the picture would be from Star Wars "Look at the size of that thing"...

You can find some pretty funny arcade at the movies reviews at macmame site:

and advances to the real thing (space travel).Right?

Sounds like Tron

The Bishop of Battle was part of an anthology movie titled "Nightmares" from 1983. The kid playing the part of the gamer was none other than Emilio Estevez. Very entertaining to those of us into the arcade scene. I couldn't stop laughing when the game taunted prospective players to "...beat the bishop of battle.". For those who get it, laugh and rent the movie.

JG, I guess "beating the bishop" means same as "spanking the monkey" then.

Nightmares is reviewed at same macmame link I posted earlier.

Bishop of Battle! Yeah! I remember that movie when I was kid. It's look like Tron meet Bezerk. Where Emilio break in the arcade after hours to break his own high score ended up stuck in the video game. Sound like BBH is still stuck in the video game and awaiting new challenger to dethrone him. Heh! Heh!

NotMan

macmame! hehe couldn't resist.

Rented an old VHS, Fort Apache The Bronx(Newman Hill Street Blues style): There was nice old Vectrex commercial...High performance videogame, 3D, portable(lady carrying it like a suitcase, lol)...and "hiiigh performance"...Very catching tune
(there was also First Blood aka rambo commercial, nice!)

Yesterday was "watching" a real crap 1999 movie, it had Galaga on background, a long time. Even showed a screenshot, in which a bee flew through the ship, somehow ship survived. Maybe mame + invincibility. It looked like original cab though.

And now, channelhopping, There comes a music video where band rides on Tron lightcycles, they just ripped the movie but changed characters. Looked like original film footage. Band was from Denmark called "Infernal", song was "From Paris to Berlin".

Movie Blade Runner has a scene where Atari neon sign appears many times. product placement.

I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one instance on an arcade machine where a bee flew through the player's ship in demo mode... maybe it was something like that. Not sure if any versions in MAME are like that.

You'll probably like '12:51' by The Strokes. Complete take-off of Tron. It's very well done, just like the original movie.

Watched Goonies the movie, now that was exciting
