Okay, here is something cool to look for in old movies...we all probably do it anyways. Can anyone think of any movies where old skool gaming makes a cameo appearance?? A few come to mind for me...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (foot clan island hideout...arcade with punk kids playing NARC...by the way the punk chick who come up and puts her arm around the kid playing NARC is sooo hot, Ive had a crush on her since I was like 6!! lol)

Three Ninjas (Im pretty sure they were playing some sort of videogame in this movie...might have been "Kick Back" though)

Dirt Bike Kid (arcade appears in pizza shop?)

The Wizard of course (the name's Savage.....Fred Savage)

Can anybody think of anymore memorable gaming cameos???

In Jackie Chan's Rumble in the Bronx, he buys gives the handicapped neighbor kid a Game Gear. The kid starts "playing" it, and thanks Jackie for such an awesome gift. Funny thing was... there was no game in it... Jackie Chan is a real chotch.

In Best of the Best II (yay, Eric Roberts), Eric Robert's son is playing Tetris on a huge screen tv. It's kinda funny how the tetris pieces are moving when the kid is not using the controller.
